SAVING OUR YOUT H

going to the training school and were
provided with good homes in the
country, and $50 children were en-
rolled in the mission and received
religious instruction and others re-
ceived supervision in their own
homes.
While much has been accomplished
the field is large and great deal
more could be done if we had but
the means. We need not only the
personal help of the charitably in
clined, but we badly need their imam
cial assistance. We must look to the
Catholic people of Minneapolis for
help. Through the Particular Coun-
Gil of ST. Vincent de Paul Society an
appeal was made during December
and it was hoped that at Christmas
time there would be large response.
The returns were woefully short and
only about $500 was received. Ii the
great work is to go on even IN q
small way assistance is imperative.
Can we not depend on you for assist
ance? What work can be more ap-
pealing to the true Catholic than this
great charity of Gods poor that in
cludes relief for their bodies as we'll
as their souls! l know our Catholic
people are generous and when they
learn the facts will respond The st.
Vincent de Paul Society has under
taken in special manner to aid me
and the members are willing to give
their time and their means in order
that the work may not fail. They
must, however, call for assistance
and l hope this appeal will not be
in vain, and that the reader will give
as generous q subscription as his
means permit.
l take this opportunity to thank
those who have already contributed
and aided in the work during the
past year. l thank the members OF
the Minneapolis League of Catholic
Women who have aided me SO much
and also the members of st. Vincent
de Paul Society who have given OF
their time and means to make the
work a success. In a special manner
/ call attention and extend my
heartfelt thanks to the self-sacrific
ing young ladies who have given VI
every Sunday afternoon to the work
of instructing these children in their
religion, and to the splendid women
who have conducted classes on Tues
day and Saturday afternoons.
Very sincerely yours,
MICHAEL A. McRAITH,
City Missionary.

K. OF c. IMPARTIALITY
STATEMENT OF DISCRIMINATION
AT CAMP MEADE is FALSE
LETTER FROM CAMP COM.
WANDER.

A statement was made in Mime.
apolis that the Knights of Columbus
Secretary in Camp Meade discrim-
mated against non-Catholics. The fol-
lowing letter from Washington proves
this charge to be false. The COM
munioation reads:
We quote the following. interesting
exchange of correspondence:
Letter from a gentleman of Mime
apolis to Major General Joseph Kuhn,
in Command at Camp Meade, Md.
Il would appreciate it if you will
direct someone who knows and who
can give the information asked be-
low, to let me know the following in
regard to the work done by the
Knights of Columbus in Camp Meade.
Yesterday, Sunday, Jan. 20, cam
paign was conducted to raise the por-
ton for the Knights war fund. The
writer was solicitor in this cam
paign, and one objection that l met
with from man who should be bet
ter informed, was that he would not
contribute to this work because the
knights of Columbus close their
doors in the environments to all men
in the army except Knights of Colum,
bus and Catholics
rs the work carried on in that
manner in Camp Meade? Are not
the X. G. houses open to all men in
the environments, and are not all men
regardless of creed, made welcome at
these X. G. houses?
Thanking you in advance for a
reply, | remain"
The Commanding Generals Aide
de Camp wrote to the gentleman OF
Minneapolis as follows:
Il am directed by the Commanding
General to reply to your letter OF
January Fl regarding the activities Of
the knights of Columbus at Camp
Meade l have before me letter
from the Director of the Knights OF
Columbus at Camp Meade, in which
he states as follows:
When the three recreation halls
which we operate were erected here
the words Everybody Welsome were
| painted in conspicuous positions OF
their sides, and this sentiment ha:
become the slogan which governs oul
work here. We challenge any mar
at Camp Meade to show that at an.
time we have ever failed to live III
| to it, or that anyone has ever beer
| excluded from our buildings. Gu
| shows and entertainments are always
free, and are always open to the en-
tire camp, regardless of creed, AM
there is never anyone stationed a
the door to say who may or may no
enter. We are here to serve the sol
diers first. last and all the time, AM
| in so doing, we do not ask whether ;
man is Catholic or Protestant, Jew o
Gentle. The doors are open at al
times, and every man is free to ente
and be assured Of hearty wei

cludes the letter by saying, Il nigh

CUSTOM OF NEW PROBLEMS
WILL FEATURE MEETlNG-ST,
VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY,".

The work of preparation for the
September, 1918, session of the Nation
al Conference of Catholic Charities has
been begun. In view of the disturb
ance of our national life and new prob
lens caused by the war, the forth
coming meeting will be one OF far
reaching Importance. 1t is proposed
also to make study of new tendencies
in charity legislation and of policies OF
cooperation in the field of relief which
have developed since the war began.
The selection of the American Red
Cross by the Federal Government as
it's agency in the administration of fed
eral relief throughout the country in
PRODUCES a new and powerful factor
among the agencies which combat pow
erty.
The National Conference was found
ed in 1910 at the Catholic University,
Washington, D. c. 1t has held four
very successful biennial sessions and
has published and distributed widely
full reports of all of them. All Catho-
lies and Catholic organizations inter
ested in relief work may become MEM
bers of the conference, may be present
at all sessions and take part in all dis
eussions.
The general work of preparing the
program for the biennial sessions is
in charge of committees on families,
children, sick and detectives, social
and civic activities. At the 1916 meet
ing a new committee on women's activ-
tiles was created There are usually
about four hundred and fifty dele
gates present Approximately thirty
states and seventy or eighty cities are
represented. The conference has cor.
dial approval and support from the
hierarchy, the apostolic delegate and
the Holy Father.
The st. Vincent de Paul Society,
the Association of Diocesan Directors
of Charities, and number of other
organizations active in Catholic relief
work, meet in. Washington with the
national conference of Catholic Char

LETTER OF THE REV. MICHAEL
A. McRAITH, CITY MISSIONARY,
AND SPIRITUAL DIRECTOR OF
THE PARTICULAR COUNCIL OF
ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY
OF MINNEAPOLIS.

During the past year it has been
my privilege to visit the home of
many of our city's poor where | saw
at first hand the trials and hardships
many of them suffer, and listened to
their stories of sickness, death, dis
couragement and drink. l have seen
poor women going forth each morn
ing after preparing their children for
school, taking the helpless ones to
the nearest neighborhood house, and
proceed to do hard days work and
to return home at night to miserable
surroundings, to a neager meal and
a hungry and cold family. l have seen
the children deprived throughout the
day of mothers care on the street
subject to evil influences on all sides.
[ have seen them defy their mothers
authority and thus add burden after
These children often drift from one
petty act of delinquency to another
until brought before the Juvenile court,
or until branded as young criminals"
they become the inmates of train
ing school, and all because the ma
tural guardian is sick, or dead, or
through vice has refused and neg
lected to recognize his obligations.
These children haVeI been deprived
of the comforts and pleasures of
home, and seek comfort and pleas
ure elsewhere. They are handicapped
from the very beginning of their
lives and through misfortune or the
indifference Of parents are deprived
of the guidance that God has or
dained they should receive and to
which they are justly entitled.
To help these families and espe-
cially these children is great work
and a Christian duty. Religious in
struction was provided for those
whose parents were Indifferent, and
homes were sought and found for
many children and the necessities of
life were provided for them. In
some cases the mother attempting to
keep her struggling family together
was assisted and enabled to accom-
plish this purpose. During the past
year 80 children were placed in good
Catholic families, q in Catholic in
situations, Z boys were saved from

A movement against holding the ma

Brief Reviews and Notices

The Mass and the Christian Life: BY
Mgr. De Givergues. Published by
the Paulist Press, New York. Price,
thirty cents.
This little book of about one hun
dred pages is an adaptation from the
original French by the Bishop of Va
Ience 1t contains eleven chapters on
the relation of Holy Mass to the vari-
Gus phases of the Christian life. The
grandeur of the Mass itself and the
Incompatible greatness of the Victim
are treated most reVerently. The Holy
Sacrifice is then considered with re-
lation to life and death, to suffering
and human conduct. A brief presen.
tation of the conditions necessary for
hearing Mass with. profit brings the
little work to a close. The book is
most practical, is simple in style, and
may be read with great profit by ALL

munion of Saints, there is any mum
Der of treatises on various phases Of
this Catholic dogma The subject Of
purgatory has been treated from many
viewpoints for the past four centuries
| The present work may be said to be
an exhaustive review on the subject
of purgatory. Dogmatic theology min
giles with patristic lore, while a spirit
of practical piety runs throughout the
whole work. Consideration is giver
also to those questions which frequent
| ly arise as to the nature of Purgatory
| for example, its duration, its joys ant
| it's sufferings, the state of souls found
| therein, the nature Of the fire. The
author then proceeds from a consider
alton of religious services for the deat
to the doctrine of prayers, on the par
of the Church, both triumphant anC
| militant, for, the departed. The value
of prayers, especially the intercessiol
of the Blessed Virgin, of Mass ant
Communion, aims and indulgences, fo
the dead, is treated at great length
An interesting feature of this valuable
work is a lucid treatment of what ha!
been called the Heroic Act. Altogeth
er, the present work is noted addi
ton to the many volumes already
written on the great subject of the
Communion of Saints.

NOW CONTROL
OIL INDUSTRY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Govern-
Elent control of the oil industry be-
came effective today under a procla-
nation OF President Wilson, authoriz-
ing Mark l.. Requa, chief Of the oil di-
vision Of the fuel administration, to
establish licensing system for all
manufacturers or distributors whose
gross sales are in excess of 100000
barrels annually. The proclamation
does not extend to gasoline or kero-
sene, but licenses for these ccmmod-
tiles probably will be required soon.
The order was prompted by the ne
cessity o. establishing a supervised
distributing system to aid in relieving
the shortage caused by inadequate
transportation facilities. Impaired
railroad service has served to lessen
the supply usually available, and the
situation has been intensified by a
marked curtailment of Oil shipments
from the Tampico fields in Mexico.
The Mexican all fleet has been cut
nearly in half by the diversion of
many of the vessels into other trades
The fuel administration has esjab-
lished in the east list of preferen-
tai consumers, whose demands for oil
will ne granted precedence in distrib-
rting the supply. Railroads and ships
using oil for fuel head the priority
