 I said I did. Then said he. T am surprised that you should mention such an insignificant thing as your own trou- ble and inconvenience.
 How did I feel do you think? The merest spot of dust on windy day could not have felt more helplessly humble than I did.
 I turned away with my hot face sim ply hlistered by shame and I burrowed into the nearest subway and by devious and most roundabout routes at last got back to the spot about 49o yards distant from that where that contemptucusly splendid man had (tiguratively speaking) set his foot upon my neck.

BOMBING GERMANY

''We expect to devote a great part of our aerial strength to bombing Ger many. I am hopeful that it will not be many days before we will be flying formations of 50 to 100 machines 500 yards apart, carrying and dropping such an enormous weight of explosive that the ground will lift beneath us, that German munitions plants and the Rhine works and bridges will te smashed up day by day.

Built Cathedral.
The Archbishop had planned to
build his new Cathedral on Victoria
Street, near Portland Avenue, where
St. Luke's Church now stands. In
the meantime the pastor of st. Jo-
seph's Church had decided to erect "a
new structure on Dayton and West
ern avenues, But the Archbishop had
purchased the site of the present Ca
thedral, and he decided to discon-
tinue work on the new parish Church
Of st. Joseph. Excavations for the
new Cathedral were begun in 1905,
and the cornerstone laid in 1907. The
work progressed under the able direc-
ton of the eminent architect, the late
E. l.. Masqueray. The Cathedral, rec
ognized as one of the finest architec-
tural structures in the country, was
opened to public service on Palm Sun
day, March %, 1915. The Archbishop
presided both on this occasion and
at the dedication on April II, of the
same year.

enthusiasm and rare foresight he soon
saw that he might become the means
of building UP this vast region, and
at the same time doing much to ale
viate the tenement evil, as we'll as to
promote the good of religion. With
this end in view he conceived the
plan of colonization on a large scale.
The logic of his ideas and his strong
determination soon convinced all
those interested that the plan could
not but meet with success. In this
great project the ablest railroad men
of the West agree with the Arch
bishops idea. lhat rare railroad
genius, the great empire builder, the
late Mr.. James j. Hill, also saw the
feasibility as we'll as practical nature
and results of this scheme Of coloni'

Bishop Ireland then unfolded his
plan to the government authorities
He received promises of hearty CO
operation from both railroads and gov
eminent officials. He then secured
| control of a grant of one hundred thou
sand acres of land in Northern Mime
sofa along the right of way of the Great
Northern. In his work he was ably
assisted by John P. O'Connor and Wal
ter Sweetman. The Bishop then took
up the scheme Of colonization with the
authorities in Ireland. He made the
friendship of Father Nugent, man
who had done heroic work for the
Irish poor in the city Of Liverpool
England. Through the efforts Of Fa
Their Nugent a large number Of immi
grants were secured for the various
colonies which Bishop Ireland was

Promotes Education.

Bishop Ireland then set out to pro-
mote the cause of education through
out the country, but especially in the
Northwest. The so-called Faribault
plan afterwards proved to be i'm
practicable, although the Archbishop
always maintained that it was never
given a fair trial.
He soon turned his attention to the
educational needs of st. Paul. He
established ST. Thomas Seminary in
the city of ST.. Paul which was in
tended to train aspirants to the priest
hood, although it extended the ad.
vantages of higher education to other
students as well. The first Rector
was Rev. Thomas O'Gorman, at pres
ent Bishop of Sioux Falls, S. d. A
few years later the late Mr.. James j.
Hill, president of the Great Northern
Railroad, made an immense donation
to the Diocese of st. Paul for the pur-
pose of founding a diocesan seminary,
to be used exclusively for training
young men for the priesthood The

of the Mississippi, now known as the

Under Archbishop Ireland's careful
guidance and munificent generosity
the former st. Thomas Seminary has
developed into the present st. Thomas
College with its spacious grounds and
imposing buildings. The Archbishop
also gave st. Paul Seminary a large
| collection of most valuable works
which is considered one of the finest
collections of its kind in the West.
During the past few years, owing
to his zeal and energy, many Catholic
schools and colleges for the training
of young men and young women have

London.-The menace of the Ger.
man submarines and mines to the
maritime commerce of the allies is be-
coming less week by week. The i'm.
provement is due chiefly to the devel-
opment Of the listening devices and the
depth bombs carried on the swift-mov-
ing destroyers. The hydrophone Is the
most useful invention that hal been
discovered by the navy in its a~tisub-
marine crusade, and it is behg i'm
proved upon all the time.
When U-boat is spotted from aloft
by one Of the alert observers in the
seaplanes which wing their flight over
the North sea and the waters around
the British Isles, he signals the posi-
tion to the nearest destroyer. Direct
ly he gets this information her COM
mander steams at full speed in the d.
rection indicated until he can hear the
submarine plugging along under water.
The destroyer follows the U-boat for
hours, If necessary, until the COM
mander thinks he has got the enemy in
the right position for hit. and then

Traps 4 Peril to U-boats.

u
In addition to destroyers and patrol
boats which scour the surface in every
direction, there are all kinds of traps
and obstacles placed under water
which make the passage Of Dover
straits and exit from Heligoland blight
very complicated problem for a
U-boat commander to solve. Hundreds
Of mine sweepers, manned by fisher
men and sailors from the merchant
service, are at work day and night
making the ocean lanes safe for steam
ships belonging to the allies and neu.
trail nations. Their crews have become

ploding German mines hidden below
the surface.
During the year ending in April more
than 1000 mines, which cost $1,000
each to construct, We're exploded or
captured by the British mine sweepers.
The loss of mine sweepers was very
small in comparison. In one instance
a mine sweeper found a German mine
drifting In the North sea, and towed 1t
over well In toward the mouth Of Elbe
under cover Of fog. After pumping It
up the crew set the mine 20 feet below
the surface. and II hours later 1t was
struck by German steamship bound
for Gothenberg from Bremen, and the
vessel and her cargo Of iron ore went
to the bottom. u

Loss Keeps Pace With Construction.
While the number of enemy under
sea craft that are sunk or captured
each month is not given out for publi-
cation 1t is known that it equals the
construction of submarines in Ger
many. The greatest blow to German
hopes Of destroying the commerce Of
the allies on the ocean lies in the con-
voy system, which is rapidly approach
ing perfection. When the plan of es-
corting transports and supply ships
right across the Atlantic In large fleets
was first tried out there was consld-
erable delay on account of difference
in speed Of the various ships Of which
II was composed.
At the present time conveys are all
classified according to speed, and a
fast transport can make round trip
In 80 days, while the slower class of
supply ships drift across the ocean at
q steady six or seven-knot gait.
The number of British and American
destroyers has increased rapidly and
Is still growing so that there are plenty
Of these essential watchdogs Of the sea
to make the passage Of conveys across
the Atlantic and North sea secure. The
greatest percentage Of losses by sub
marines since January / has been In
the Mediterranean, and this Is now be-
ing reduced by increasing the number
of destroyers In those waters. No sub
marine commander will risk attack or

Naval experts nre confident that
when there are sufficient destroyers to
escort all conveys required to trans
port troops and munitions from Amer
ica to England and France the subma-
rine peril will be practically at an end.
This stage should be reached by Au

watch and wait for vessels which are
