QUOTA OF MINI NEAPoLlS FOR
1e19-WAR CHEST WILL CON-
SoLlDATE EFFORTS OF WORK.
ERS AND ELIMINATE REPETl-
TIoN or DRlVES-WHoLE CITY
UNITED IN CAMPAIGN.

How shall we raise $4,000,000 in
Minneapolis for the relief work of
1892"
This was the question before the
priests of Minneapolis last Tuesday
afternoon, when they met for lunch
con at the Athletic Club with Fred l..
Gray, campaign manager for. the War
Chest" of Minneapolis and tHennepin
county Besides the score of priests,
there were present Mr.. Gray, Mr.. John
J. Regan, Mr.. o. B.. McClintock and
Mr.. J. D. Williams, members and of
ficers of the War Chest" and War
Council All addressed themselves to
the problem with the enthusiasm of
men confident of success; but with the
earnestness too, of men who realize
what a tremendous task lies before
them in the next three weeks. The
sum of $4,000,000 is more than twice
as much as Minneapolis has ever here
tofore been called upon to give" at
one time. Yet the people of the city
must raise it to avoid the waste of
twenty conflicting drives" against
their pocket books next year; to elm
mate the danger of solicitation by
unauthorized and questionable agen-
cies and individuals, and to provide
adequate funds for all our worthy re-
lief organizations.
For war relief assigned to the seven
national agencies designated by the
government the sum Of $3,300,000 is
to be raised; and for forty-eight local
organizations and institutions engaged
in relief work 100000 is to be appor-
toned
The chief speaker at the luncheon
was Mr.. Gray, who explained the de-
tails of the coming campaign and
demonstrated the economy of the War
Chest plan Since America entered
the war, nineteen months ago, local
and national relief agencies have
staged" on an average of more than
one drive" per month. Each had to
be organized and financed separately.
A study of local conditions showed
that now one campaign, embracing
all these charities, can be handled
with the machinery necessary for any
one of them. The number of work

went to the first line the K. of c. Sec
retary sent down word that Mass
would be celebrated at the K of c.
shack at $50. I Immediately formed
our company and read this notice and
gave all permission to attend. This
was also done in the three compa-
nies.
There is another liutenant in my
company named Nicholson who is
also a Catholic; he is from New York
and is a mighty fine fellow; has been
with our company about one month.
We at once decided to attend Mass
and beat it through the woods to the
K. of c. hut. Upon arriving there We
found about three hundred or more
soldiers gathered around. 1t was
raining, but this did not keep the men
from kneeling in the mud. Finally the
priest arrived, and the men began 60
ing to confession. After hearing con-
fessions, Mass began, and l honestly
believe every soldier, including my
self, went to Communion.
Il never will forget this sight as
long as live and am sorry l can't
give a better description. There we
were, in the thick woods with rain
falling, and men on their knees in
mud. Overhead and sometimes strik-
ing near were artillery shells; over
head aeroplanes would buzz and we
could hear them signalling to each
other; you could hear shells whist
ling by, bound for the German
trenches, and am sure God was look
ing down on these deyout soldiers.
would have given anything in the world
to have had camera and to have TAX
en- a picture of this wonderful assem-
bly,, but anyhow, it is imprinted indeli-
bly, on my mind and i never will forget
the scene
you will notice am using Knights
of Columbus stationery they are do

er to the front you go the more of
them you find. While in the front line
| a K. of C. secretary made several
trips to see us and brought the boys
stationery, candy and cigarettes. The
boys certainly appreciated this and it
certainly was Godsend. The secre-
tary had to walk about one-half mile
through dangerous country with these
| packages under his arm. His name
is Mr.. Stewart and he is a very fine

OUR CATHOLIC SOLDIERS
EXCERPTS FROM LETTER TELL
OF DEVOTION OF MEN-AT-
TEND MASS IN RAIN.

Catholic soldiers in General Perish
ing's army daily testify by their ac-
tions how steadfast they are to the
teachings of the Church and prove
how eager they are to partake of the
spiritual blessings, privileges and COM
forts provided for them through the
ministrations Of the many chaplains
sent overseas.
An impressive spectacle of part of
regiment, just before going into ac-
tion, at confession, Mass and Com
munion while shells were falling all
around them, is described in letter
written by Lieutenant Leo D. Shefi-
dan, Company E, 327th Infantry, to
his brother Ed A. Sheridan of Macon,
Ga. His letter, in part, follows:
1 want to tell you what happened
the other day before we went into
the front lines. Our battalion was
located in a dense woods and we were
living in shelter tents; the officers had
little small shacks with hardly room
to turn around in. The K. of C. sec
retary also had a small shack about
as big as your bathroom and in this he
had a victrola, cigarettes, candy, etc
Needless to say this was the most pop
ular place in the woods. No doubt
you know that the K of C.s give
away everything and won't take mon
ey for anything.

A SOLDIERS CLUB
FRENCH WOMAN OFFERS HER
BEAUTIFUL HOME TO KNIGHTS
OF COLUMBUS - GOVERNMENT
PRAISES SECRETARIES.

Down at LeMans, in the S. o. S.
supplies of the service area-the
Knights of Columbus are conducting
one of the best equipped soldiers
clubs in France. The building in
which the club is located is the prop
erty of a widow of a French army of
fieer who was killed during the first
battle of the Marne. An ardent Cath
olic she offered the use of her beau
tiful home to the Knights of Colum-
bus, and as a result the Yankee fight
ers who are quartered in half dozen
camps in the vicinity of LeMans have
a real home for their amusements and
recreation.
One of the interesting features of
the club is an altar, where at least
two French cardinals have said Mass
in bygone days Here Mass is said
every Sunday for the American sol
diers. The house is filled with an
tique furnishings among the pieces be-
ing an elaborately carved bed in
which the great Napoleon once slept
Open fireplaces give homelike at
mosphere to the club.
A pool room, large and well
equipped library and reading room
and a music room are some of the
principal features of the club Every
thing is free to men in uniform, in.
Guiding the smokes and candy which
are passed out frequently by the sec
retaries.
The club was obtained through the
efforts of Thos ]. Mcdonald, knights
of Columbus secretary from Pough
keepsie, N. Y. Assisting Sec. McDon
aid in the management of the club is
Secretary Charles A. Mclaughlin, vet
eran fireman of Brooklyn.
Near LeMans is the great Amerri
can classification camp, where wound
ed soldiers released from military
hospitals and casuals coming owe
from the United States are classified
for further service over there Thou
sands of these soldiers stay in LIE
Mans and vicinity for several days
and they greatly appreciate the facil
tiles offered by the Knights of Colum
hus.

ers, indeed, must be larger and their
work outlined with greater definite
ness, but the wasteful duplication of
effort and organization incident to in
dependent and numerous drives will
be eliminated. AS Mr. Gray pointed
out, when the people know that nine
tyeseven or ninety-eight cents of every
dollar they give will reach the char
tiles intended they will give gener-
ously.
The amounts pledged between De-
cember and 9 will be paid in twelve
monthly installments, beginning with
January. A sliding scale has been
arranged whereby the minimum of
each persons contribution is fixed ac-
cording to his income. This scale va
ries from two per cent in. the case of
those with small incomes, up to fifteen
or twenty per cent in the case of the
wealthy
1t will indeed be heavy draft on the
resources of Minneapolis, yet one that
is to be borne by 100000 givers in
Guiding boys and girls.
Mr. McClintock, chairman of the
speakers division, pointed out that
the need for funds in war relief, now
that one phase of the war is over, will
be greater than ever. Vast popula-
tions, impoverished and rendered des-
titute by the war, will have to look for
more aid than ever from the Red
Cross; and ''our boys" the splendid,
red-blooded, reckless fellows that rush
ed into battle with fearless JOY that
made even the veteran generals of
Europe wonder. will now have a big
ger battle than ever to conquer them
selves. These men, now that the pres
sure of war is off, must have an abun-
dance of wholesome occupation and rec
reation if they are to return to their
loved ones better men than when they
went across. The forces of evil will
undoubtedly get more freedom to in
feet the air about them than when they
were fighting; and the conclusion is
obVious-they must be guarded by the
seven agencies that have done so
much to sustain their morale; those
agencies must have the necessary
funds for bigger works than ever
among them, and those funds must be
supplied generously, unstintingly, by
every one. The need for self-sacrific-
ing economy and generous giving is
greater than ever now. A perfectly
organized army of 1000 workers will
begin at nine o'clock Monday morning,
December 2, and in one week will go
over the top ''for our boys"

EQUIPPING A SOLDIER
COST TO PREPARE A LARGE
AMERICAN ARMY.

An exchange says that detail
which throws interesting light on the
wars colossal cost is found in the
statement that our Government
spends approximately $156 in equip
ping every infantryman for service in
France. A little calculation will show
what it will cost to prepare million
or a million and half men for the
front.
The equipment expenditures for the
foot soldier are classified under three
heads clothing, eating utensils. and
fighting materials. Under the latter
group the rifle, the cost of which is
figured at $3.50, is the most expen
sive one. This amount varies from
time to time.

Realizing that the ending of the
war means consequent doffing of the
uniform, the Knights of Columbus
have put a plan into effect whereby
their overseas workers will don over
alls and set their hands to the multi
plicity of tasks awaiting able-bodied
men now in France.
Thousands of pairs of overalls,
heavy, durable blue working costumes,
have been ordered by the K. of c.
Committee on War Activities, and
William j. Mulligan, chairman, does
not want to see one pair returned to
America without tangible signs of
wear upon it.
eve have constantly heard from
France that innumerable odd jobs,
calling for men with technical skill,
occur in the days work over there,
said Mr.. Mulligan $50 we are max.
ing drive to get such men. They
will be needed to aid in reconstruction
work in France.

enthusiastically of the way in which
our boys help the widows of France
by doing their chores and making gen.
eral repairs around the homes in
which they are billeted. We want our
secretaries to help the boys in these
jobs, and conservation of cloth makes
it necessary to save their uniforms
from too hard wear and tear. Hence
the overalls."
A X. of C. secretary's equipment
now calls for load as heavy, if not
heavier than an infantryman's. The
addition of the overalls will add to
the burden, and also to the secretary s
usefulness. A substantial percentage
of the men abroad with the Knights
are skilled in the handicrafts. They
have proved themselves of great value
in every emergency.

Children For Adoption


Charity workers in st. Paul meet
with cases where children are left
without parents. The request to have
these destitute children placed out
for permanent adoption in Catholic
homes frequently reaches this office.
At present there are three boys, aged
respectively 8, and years, on the
list waiting for adoption. No doubt
there are many Catholic homes in
which these children would find the
much needed tender care and solici-
tude. All communications for this
purpose will be gladly received at the
