priest came in and settled the diff

end Bishop Busch then gave an adj

that of trained nurses. A third serv-
ice, that a young woman can render
to her country, is that of a trained
social welfare worker Mr. G.. F. Lad

NEW K. OF c. OFFICERS
NEW CHANGES IN LAW-JOHN n.
REDDIN ANNOUNCES OFFICERS
OF THE SUPREME ASSEMBLY.

John H. Reddin of Denver, Supreme
Master of the Fourth Degree of the
Knights of Columbus, has announced
his list of appointments of masters
of the Fourth Degree, who are to hold
Office for term of two years, begin
ming July 1. In his letter Mr.. Reddin
advises the new appointees and all
actions of the board of directors at
the meeting held recently in Detroit:
The law has been amended to make
the initiation fee in the Fourth Degree
$40, effective August 1, 1918, for all
notifications on and after that
date; provided, applicants whose ap-
proved applications were in the hands
of masters on said June %, 1918, shall
be entitled to initiation on payment Of
the former fee of SIS.
The Supreme Master was given the
power to postpone the Supreme and
Provisional assembly biennial meet
ings. He has exercised this power
and has advised all vice supreme mas
ters to convene the Provincial assem-
bly, not earlier than October, and that
the Supreme assembly will be called
to meet at subsequent date.
On account of the increased expense
of railroad travel, the law was amend
ed to allow masters and members of
the Supreme assembly, in attendance
upon Provincial and Supreme assem-
bly, meetings additional expense mon
ey to cover the increase.
Because of the failure of the dis
trict assembly to meet in many juris-
dictions and choose three names, as
required by law, the Supreme Master
was empowered, by amendment to the
law, to appoint a master from the
general Fourth Degree membership
in such delinquent jurisdictions.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
PRIEST NEEDS CHURCH GOODS.
Church of st. Frederick,
Verndale, Mimi, July %.
Reverend and Dear Father:

Reverend and Dear Father:
Not long ago my church at Verndale,
Mimi, happened to burn to the
ground. Hardly anything with the
exception of a few benches and the
organ could be saved Even the Bless
ed Sacrament was consumed by the
fire.
At the last convention in st. Cloud
the Right Reverend Bishop Jos. F.
Busch was so kind as to appeal to
the generosity of both the clergy and
the laity with regard to what he call
ed one of our poorest parishes. Since
then have received quite a few nice
things in the line Of vestments, altar
linen and other church goods. My
parish, consisting of about twenty
eight families, has done its best to
raise some money to build a new
church; but even with the generous
assistance of the nOn-Catholics, many
of whom belong to the Free Masons,
we shall not be able to raise enough
money to build the church. There
fore we have made up our minds to
erect only basement and to use that
for the time being for church. The
cost of the basement will be about
$4,000.
We are badly in need of pews, a
vestment case, a communion railing,
an altar and Stations of the Cross.
But we are not well able to buy those
articles new from the factory, every
thing in that line being so terribly
expensive nowadays. Therefore,
kindly ask you, Reverend and Dear
Father, to help us to get those arti-
cles second hand. We do not expect
them for nothing, but would like to
obtain them at reasonable price and
in fairly good condition.
Thanking you most cordially in an
ticipation for your kindness, I wish
to be, Reverend and Dear Father,
very respectfully yours in SIS. Corde,
REV. H. YZERMANS,
o. S. Crucis, Pastor.

There is d great deal of sorrow and
resentment these days in Guadalajara.
Many private properties have been
proclaimed" by the government.
Some state that the number exceeds
1000. The objects of value which still
remained in the churches have now
been carried Off
Under date of June 16, the writer of
another letter describing conditions in
the same city, says:
[ suppose that you are acquainted
with the troubles of your friends.
Things seem to be worse than at the
beginning of the crisis. The state
congress recently passed a bill, ac-
cording to which there is to be but
one priest for every 5000 souls. They
have inventoried, or rather, confis-
Gated the property which, as it is ex-
pressed, had the misfortune to belong
to some priest or cleric The report
is that they carried off great deal of
property from around the Carmen, San
Jose and other churches. The official
agent appointed by Carranza to carry
out the plan of confiscation is here
now. We cannot tell what will hap
pen.
The agent referred to in the last in
stance is one of the higher officials
of the ministry Of the interior. He
held Office in the days of Limantour.
These outrages, it must be remem-
bered, were going on at the very time
that CarranZa's newspaper men we're
sent to the United States to extoI the
Carranza rule and were receiving an
official welcome. The country is in
financial ruin, groups of bandits are
roaming about and every state of Mex
leo is plunged into indescribable ca
lamity. Bishop Herrera of Tulan-
cingo, who through the good offices of
some friends had been permitted by
CarranZa to return to his diocese I'M
der promise of non-interference, was
soon forced to leave again Yet Amer
lean papers of wide circulation are
not wanting to praise this robber ad-
ministration of tyranny and terror
while we are fighting TO make the
world safe for democracy"

ST. THOMAS COLLEGE
MANY ALUMNI RECEIVE COMMITS
SloNS-ADVANTAGES OF MILL
TARY SYSTEM COMBINED WITH
ACADEMIC TRAINING,

Within a year upwards of one hun
dred and sixty students and graduates
of ST. Thomas have received commits
sions in various branches of the serv,
ice. This remarkable testimony to
the efficiency of the military training
given at St. Thomas is growing in
volume from day to day
During the same period, on the
recommendation of the College, two
hundred and fifty students past and
present have been admitted to various
Officers Training Camps Several of
these are now completing their train
ing. s-
The value of military training has
been so clearly demonstrated that
there is little need of pointing out
the manifold benefits it confers. In
view of the agitation to lower the age
limit to 10 years the advantages of
military instruction for students be-
come still more evident. The COM
bination of military instruction with
academic training constitutes an ideal
system of education, and answers the
most pressing needs of the time.
The War Department has estab-
ished in the College Division of the
Reserve Officers Training Corps to
which all students over fourteen years
of age are eligible. During the first
two years the Government pays $1400
a year toward the cost of a uniform.
During the third year it pays each
cadet $122.79, and during the fourth
year the sum of $113.79. During the
two latter years members of the Re-
serve Officers Training Corps are
eligible for students Summer Camp
at which all expenses are borne by
the Government.
By a privilege granted to military
colleges by the Secretary of War all
students of st. Thomas under Is years
of age may, if they so desire, enlist.
They will, however, remain in the Col
lege and pursue their studies, not be-
ing subject to call to active service
until they have reached their 21st
year. Only urgent military necessity
will compel an earlier call.
BY this admirable arrangement
young men may continue their educa-
ton. and, at the same time, be re-
garded as members of the U. S. Army.
Special courses are given and spe-
cial classes are organized for those
who wish to qualify themselves for
the Army.
The College of st. Thomas has been
thrice designated an Honor School by
the War Department. There are only
ten such schools in the United States.

Editor The Indian Sentinel:
With regard to knitting, the CLIP
ping you enclose is correct except for
it's failure to mention that l used a
machine to do the work. Last Sep
TENDER | was told there was an old
knitting machine in the garnet here,
that it had not been used for twenty
wears. No one knew how to operate
it and it was at one time to be sold
for junk The machine was taken out,
| set it up and, after working several
weeks, succeeded in knitting sweat
er. 1t took all day to make the
first sweater which was sent direct
to France to a doctor in. the service
there. Now [ am able to knit a sweat
er in one-half to three-quarters OF an
hour, depending On the condition OF
the yarn. About the middle of Decem-
Der the Red Cross announced that
machine knitted garments could be
accepted Through our local chapter
obtained five pounds and, shortly after
that, fifty-fve pounds of yarn which
was all knitted into sweaters by jan
uary Is.
In all I have knitted: Sweaters,
224; pairs of wristlets, rs; helmets,
80; mufflers, 5; pairs Of socks, %. Of
these about 80 sweaters and so pairs
of wristlets were sent through the Red
Cross. The rest was sent to the sol
diers directly through relatives and
friends. I have done very little knit
ting since March. On one day in jan
uary l made as many as eight sweat
ers Most of the time | knit only in
the morning Often [ have completed
four sweaters in as many hours. With
good yarn have completed sweater
in forty minutes. No charge has been
made by me for any of the work.
Sincerely yours,
(Sfgned) JOSEPH c. BACKERT.

has been priest for tw%nty years in
Baltimore. During the early part of
his ministry he worked on the Col
ored Missions in Alabama In 1912 he
became rector of ST. Joseph Seminary
in Baltimore, which trains young men
for the Colored Missions.
The general chapter was attended
by priests representing various colored
missions extending from Delaware to
Texas. The reports of these priests
were very satisfactory st. Joseph
Society has missions and institutions
in eleven Southern states, constitut-
ing fourteen diOceses. In this terri
tory there are thirty-seven parish
churches, with twenty-four outlying
missions, for total colored Catholic
membership of $4,000.
That the priests of st. Joseph So
ciety are making good use of their
opportunities is shown by the fact that
last year there were 753 actual con-
verts, while 357 more were under in
struction when the report was made.
st. Joseph's Society, partly with the
able assistance of Mgr. Burke, main
tains thtrty-two schools, with an at
tendance of 4,616 pupils. Lightweight
Sisters and thirty-eight lay teachers
are at work in the classrooms of these
schools. The school is the very best
means of convincing the negro that
the Catholic Church is interested in
his welfare. Negro education is great
ly neglected in many quarters of the
South, and Catholic schools would be
welcomed as friends in the commu-
nifty.

Father Matz has arranged to have
five Sisters of st. Francis from To-

children in the parish and the eager
ness of their parents to get them into
the school it may be necessary to
