Cardinal Farley Succumbs
To Attack of Pneumonia
Noted Pre|ate, Archbishop Of
New York, Dies at His
Country Home at
Age Of "a.

>Mamaroneck. N. Y, Sept. H.
Cardinal John NJ. Farley, archbishop
of New York, died at his country
home here tonight. The aged pre-.
late had been sinking rapidly since
he suffered a relapse last Saturday
following partial recovery from an
attack of pneumonia.
John NJ. Farley, elevated to the
cardinalate in 1911, after having
been 10 years a bishop and for nine
years archbishop of New York, was
born in Newton Hamilton, County
of Armagh, Ireland, April 20, 1912.
He came to the United States a
short time before the outbreak of
the civil war. He located in New
York and entered St. Johns College,
Fordham, from which institution he
was~graduated in 1866. The same
year he entered St. Joseph's Pro-
vincial seminary at Troy, to study
for the priesthood.
Educated in Rome.
His proficiency in his studies at
St. Joseph's seminary was so
marked that the late Cardinal Nc
Closkey took an interest in him and
sent him to the American College
in Rome to complete his education.
The young student fully justified
the interest taken in him by his
powerful friend and protector and
was ordained priest in the historic
church of St. John Lateran in Rome
in June, 1870.
Father Farley Immediately re-
turned to New York and was ap-
pointed assistant to Father Conron
at St. Peters church, New Brighton,
5. |. For two years his experiences
we're those of the ordinary young
parish priest, but in 1872 he was
appointed secretary to Cardinal Nc
Closky, succeeding Bishop McNeir-
ny. In this position Father Farley
showed such marked ability tiMt he
won high commeitdation from his
superior. In 1884 he was made
chamberlain to the pope, which gave
him the rank Of monsignor. In the
following March his name was pro-
posed for the rectorship of the
American College in Rome, but Car
dinal McCloskey, who valued his
services highly, dissuaded him from
the offer.
St, Patrick's cathedral was build
ing at that time, and Monsignor
+ Farley kept all the accounts in con-

Col. J. M. Banister Addresses
Workers in Coming Cam

Women will not ask people to
buy bonds in the coming Liberty
loan campaign, but demand that
they buy them, in the name of the
United States government, accord
ing to Col. J. NJ. Banister, who ad-
dressed a meeting of $50 women,
majors and captains in Mrs. Frank
Iudson's army of woman campaign
workers, at the Fontenelle hotel
Monday afternoon.
You are going to start out now
in noble work. You are going
to try to provide the sinews of war
for our country. Our men can
not fight as they are fighting now;
they cannot keep up that noble
courage which they have manifest
ed; they cannot go singing to charge
the Germans as they did in this last
offensive, unless we provide NUM-
tions for them-unless we clothe
them properly and give them the
food necessary to keep them in
fighting trim-and we cannot do all
this without money" he said
You are going out bright and
early on Monday morning, October
mot to ask people to please buy
bond" but to demand, as repre-
sentatives of the United States
government, how many bonds :hey
will buy.
Report every instance of insult to
solicitors to me and I will see that
the United States authorities take
their cases in hand.

learned information which she

portance. When she heard the bar
rage Thursday morning she deter
mined to run the risk of crossing
the nearly three miles separating
her home from the allied lines.
Telling her mothers and the
others that she had work to do in
the garden, the young woman left
the house. She slipped away to-
ward the American lines although
every road was swept by allied and
German gun fire. After many diff
culties and narrow escapes the
young woman reached the Ameri-
can lines and told her story.
In return for the informa-
ton she brought she asked that
every effort be made to rescue her
mother and brother. The Germans
attempted to maintain their posi-
tions at Soulevre farm, but the
Americans overcame them in des-
perate fighting. The mother and
brother were brought to American
headquarters today uninjured and
there was a joyful reunion.

After four years of unheard Of
struggle and gigantic sacrifices, the

to approach all belligerent states
and invite them to pave the way to
peace which will be honorable for

ATAMER|CANS
U. S. Troops Give Emphatic
Replies to Vigorous Born-
bardment on the Lor-
ra;ne Front.
By Associated Press.

With the American Army in Lor-
raine, Sept. 1.-THE American artil-
lery, infantry and aviators made en-
phatic replies today to the German
challenge all along the newly estab-
lished line. The enemy bombarded
certain points with vigor and threw
over quantities of gas, largely of the
variety, while airplanes en-
deavored to force their way through
the aerial defenses. but evidence was
wholly lacking that the Germans
contemplated any attempt to regain
the territory they have lost. Their
high command apparently intends
to adhere to the policy which re-
suited in the relinquishment of a
large section without bitter strug-
gle.
Strengthen Hindenburg Line.
Reports brought in by aviators,
from prisoners verified by patrols,
show the Germans are strengthens
ing their trenches along the Hin
denburg line, but there is nothing to
show they are reinforcing their lines
to a degree that might indicate a
strong counter movement \
Patrols sent out by the Americans
have been successful not only in
reconnaissance, but in bringing in
prisoners. Many 'of the prisoners
were stragglers, but among them
were the crews OF several lost or
isolated machine guns.
There was much German activity
today on the extreme right of the
line where the enemy vigorously
shelled and gassed the woods north
of Pont-A-Mousson and in the vi
cinItv Of NorroY.

SNEAK THIEVES STEAL

Reports that some one is steal ing fur animals caught in traps near Skagway, especially along the bluff on Dewey mountain, are nu- merous about the city, says the Skagway Alaskan. Jim" Adams reports the stealing of fox and lynx caught in his traps, and Mex ican" John reports that someone has stolen a lynx which evidence shows had been caught in a trap belonging to him. In both cases the sneak thief was known to have worn rubber boots, the imprint of which was left clearly in the mud. John Mathews also says that ami malls have been stolen from snares and traps which he has set out.
 Unmistakable evidence that steal ings from traps and snares has taken place is proved by the fact that snares have been cut with a knife.
