These organizations include the Ma
tional Catholic Council (Knights of
Columbus). Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION, Young Womens Christian
Association, Jewish Welfare Board,
War Camp Community Service, Ameri-
can Library Association and Salvation
Army.
President Wilson requested that
these organizations united in a single
campaign to raise funds for war re-
lief work instead of each conducting
it's own drive, and this will be done.
Friends of the knights of Colum-
bus may feel assured that they will
be serving the best interest of the
Order if they contribute to the United
War Work Campaign'-the knights
of Columbus will share proportionately
in the general fund, according to its
activities.
1--WE are all working to sustain the
morale, increase the comfort and pro-
vide for the recreation of our soldiers
and sailors, and the fund collected
during the United War Work Cam
paign,' will be devoted solely to this
purpose.
"The unified drive means economy
and concentration of effort. The men
in the United States service will profit
more through both these features.
There will be less expense in raising
funds, and there will be increased eff
fort because there will be seven in
stead of one organization working"
Mr.. Mulligan expressed himself as
wholly pleased with the plans for the
big drive beginning November 18th,
and predicted it's unqualified success.
Mr.. NIulligan recently returned
from France where he surveyed the
K. of G. overseas activities, travelling
four thousand miles behind the fight
ing lines in a two months tour. He
knows what is needed, and is unre.
served when expressing appreciation
of the cooperation of war relief or

CHAPLAIN FLIES TO
VISIT HIS FLOCK
Rev. j. j. Sullivan Makes Use Of
AirpIane to Minister to the
Soldier Boys.

Paris, Sept. 3O-The chaplain with
an automobile has become common
place. But there is one in France who
makes his parish calls in an airplane.
He has huge parish, the largest avia
ton instruction camp in the world.
It's American and it spreads for miles
around a little village far from the
gunfire of the enemy in an old corner
of France.
And the flying chaplain gets around
it every day, for he has his nerve.
He'll fly with any recruit who happens
to be driving "bus" his way. The
flying chaplain is Father J. ]. Sullivan,
who once had nice little suburban
parish at Tuckahoe, N. Y.
When America entered the war all
his six feet bristled to go. He tried
the marine corps first, then the navy
and then the army. But Father Sulli-
van carries only $50 pounds dis
tributed over his six feet and the mill
tary surgeons wouldn't have him. He
was determined to come to France,
however, and he came as one of the
first volunteer chaplains of the knights
of Columbus.
| Once here his build Immediately
suggested aviation and there he was
sent, and there now he flies from bar
rack to barrack. In fact, his parish
has radius of good fifty miles,
for there are number of big Ameri.
can hospitals that are near to the
flying field, and Father Sullivan gets
around to them at least once a day
at a hundred and fifty miles an hour.
His own nerve has endeared him to
the daring youths for whom he lives,
and just before dawn and the begin.
ming of the fighters days, groups OF
them may be seen waiting outside the
flying chaplain's tent, waiting to &c
to confession or receive the other con
solutions of their religion, and then tc
offer to take the padre where he wants
to go.
From that time until dark the padre
is seldom at ease. He is far from
the firing line, he stands no chance
for medals. But the aviators say he
is doing a heroic bit, nevertheless.

TRIBUTE TO AN AMERICAN
SISTER.

The death of Sister Mary George
Adamson of the Congregation of
Dominican Sisters at Sinsinawa, Wis,
is distinct loss to the cause of Cath
Ollie higher education. She had de-
voted her energy and her attainments
throughout her thirty-seven years Of
religious life to the education of girls
and young women at Saint Clara Acad-
envy and later at Saint Clara College.
For number of years she was head
of the department of Romance Ian
guages at Saint Clara College. Her
speaking facility in French and Ger
man was that of native of those Ian
guages and her knowledge of Latin
and Greek, Italian and Spanish was
thorough and ready. But beyond her
linguistic attachments in her equip
ment as a Catholic educator was her
truly Christian character. She realized
that to combine education with in
struction there must be strong moral
influence. She was an example of
gentleness, patience, and humility yet
strong with the apostolic virtues of
faith and the courage born of living
faith in God
For the past few years Sister George
was prioress of Saint Clara Convent
and was holding that office when she
was appointed by her Superior to go
in company with other Sisters of her
Congregation to Fribourg, Switzerland,
as directress of school of higher edu-
cation for young women in connection
with the Fribourg University, with
which it is affiliated.
Her death occurred August 20. The
funeral services were held August %,
at the parish church of Saint Michel.
During her sojourn of one year at Fri
bourg she had made many friends who
were impressed with her sanity char
acter. The generation paid her men,
DRY at her funeral by the people of all
ranks in Fribourg was evidence of
their esteem for her. Solemn Mass
of Requiem was offered for her by the
Reverend Alphonse Won Wildenburg,
q. p, Regent of the Albertinum; the
Reverend Mr.. May and the Reverend
Mr.. Ledwith, both American students,
were the deacon and subdeacon of the
Mass. At the same time six Domini.

Moose Social

The committee in charge of the benefit dance given'by local Moose last Thursday evening spared no pains in their endeavor to make the affrir successful.
 Redmen hall was beautifully decorated in bunting and flags. Red, white and blue streamers festooned the ceilings, and be- meath the stars and stripes, on the wall opposite the entrance, hung the honor roll of the Wran- gel Moose organization with it's nineteen names. A tastefully ar ranged punch booth occupied one corner and was favorite retreat between dances. The beverage was dispensed at the pre-war rate of five cents glass and deserved the liberal patronage it received.
 The committee had secured good music and floor manager Ned Lemieux arranged the dances so that everyone had an enjoyable evening.
 The dance netted the sum of $13S.9O which will be put into the Moose War Chest, a fund which is used for the benefit of members of the order who are in the service. Credit for the sue cessful outcome of the benefit is due Ned Lemieux, chairman, c. c. Munday, A. Jacobitz and Ed La Bounty who constituted the committee on arrangements.

Makes the Supreme Sacrifice

At a social given by the Wran- gell Redmen lodge about year ago there were among the guests several passengers from the steamship Mariposa which had been wrecked near here on No- vember IS. One of these was a fine looking young man named Max Poehlmann. MT. Poehlmann was on his way from Seward to the States to enlist. He was soon in the service of Uncle Sam, and a few months later he was sent overseas. This week the pub- fisher of the Sentinel received word that Mr. Poehlmann had made the supreme sacrifice. He was severely wounded while in action in France. He was taken to a hospital where he died the next day. MT. Poehlmann came north from Petalumna, California and was for some time in the en- ploy of the Alaska Engineering commission.

Search for Sophia Dead Continues

The search for the Princess Sophia's dead continues with Harry Morton, U, s. Deputy Marshal, in charge of the field and Charles D. Garfield locking after the Juneau headquarters.
 Up to Saturday night 179 bodies had been recovered. The im- pression prevailed that Captain Locke and Pilot Shaw went down with the wreck and that their bodies would be found in the pilot house. Soundings taken by the Wrecker Tees show that the re- cent gale broke up the wreck and the stern is missing. and its be- lieved the pilot house has gone.
 While there have been num- Der of reports about footing, offi- cers say that not one single au- thentic case has come to light The fact that it was necessary to cut life belts off some of the bodies and later the life belts were picked up, led to one report, ana in an- other instance q bundle was found cut open, but it developed that searchers cut open the bundle to get some blankets to wrap about bodies from which the clothing had been torn by the ac- tion of the waves.

The orders of the War Board concerning paper can no more be ignored than those of the Food Administration. The Gov ernment has found it necessary to make a reduction in the paper consumption Large papers have been reduced in size by Govern ment order. And as a precaution against waste, the War Industries Board has ordered that no pub fisher shall send his paper to any person who has not paid his sub scription in advance.
 No paper house in the United States is permitted to sell paper to any publisher not pledging himself in writing to obey the above rules. The failure of any publisher to abide by these regu- lations will result in the Govern ment cutting off his paper supply
 The War Board believes that a great saving in paper can be ac- complished in eliminating waste full practices in newspaper offices, and putting them all on a strictly cash in advance basis.
 While the war is in progress the Government does not want paper supplied to publishers who are mailing their publications to

people who do not want them enough to pay for them promptly. The Government does not feel that it is fair to the industry for some publishers to be using white paper for the purpose of mailing to people who have not shown a sufficient desire for the paper to cause them to pay for it in ad, vance, or within a period of three months from the time their sub- scription has expired.
 The Government believes that if all publishers will put their publications on a cash in advance basis, and so weed out those who really do not want the paper. and who will not pay, the total re- duction from this class will be sufficient for the present
 The Government states also that the enforcement of the cash in advance order. while relic ing the paper situation, will at the same time relieve the mails of carving needless pieces, and so make an additional saving in transportation.
 The government $ requirements for all kinds of paper are in- creasing rapidly and must be sup piled.
 Paper making requires large amount of fuel which is essential for war purposes. A pound of paper wasted represents from one to three pounds of coal wasted.
 Paper contains valuable chemi- calls necessary for war purposes Economy in the use of paper will release a large quantity of these materials for making ammunition or poisonous gases
 The Sentinel has only a small number of subscribers who are not paid in advance, and they are all responsible people. We do not doubt their ability or willingness to pay. But We respectfully cali their attention to the fact that to carry them any longer on our books would not only be a viola tion of the orders of the War h. dustries Board, but would place the publisher of the Sentinel in a position where he could not secure any more blank paper without perjuring himself. We don't want to lose any subscribers. We are proud of the fact that we have over three times as many subscribers now as when we bought the Sentinel two years ago. It would be with much re- luctance that any name would be dropped from our list, but the war r,,loc oop oorps "a IF nopaY. a,Ilct bn obeyed the same as those refer ring to steel, sugar or wheat. We have no alternative in the matter. Therefore all those who are more than three months in arrears will not receive the Sentinel after this issue unless their subscriptions are renewed.

The small boys at Wrangell are very warlike. Recently the town marshal there was ordered to dis arm all the children and eonfseate all sling-shots, air-guns and fire arms found on their persons. If this did not curb their war-like ardor it was ordered that the boys be arrested and fined if they did not quit shooting within the city limits.
