NORWICH LAD WRITES
Of BIG BATTLE
George Shields Tells Thrilling Exper-
fence With the Huns in Battle of
Vimy Ridge.

j. w. Shields, manager of the Farm
ers' Cooperative Store at Blaisdell,
N. D., received an interesting letter
some little time back from his bro
Their, George, formerly of Norwich, N.
D., who has been fighting with the
Canadian contingent in France. In q
previous letter, George wrote about
the battle of Vimy Ridge in which he
participated. Continuing his story OF
the great battle, he says:
"The night after our skirmish in
the bush, scout party was sent out
to get in the wounded. We picked up
our officer and a few men. They were
brought in to Battalion headquarters
and dressed as we'll as possible. ]
helped carry the officer to the dress
ing station, six of us on one stretcher,
changing off. We were all so weak
from no sleep and nothing to eat, SO
it was about all we could do to get
him there as he was very heavy man
We finally got him in and then an.
other lad and myself started to hunt q
place to flop. This was back Of the
reserve, or about where Fritz's sec.
ond line had been. We found deer
dug out. There were some officers
and men in it but we went down. They
had lot of German aerated water
that had been left there. We got 8
shot Of rum and bottle of water
apiece and couple of hard tack, ther
Topped on the floor and slept for {
couple Of hours. The next morning
we were relieved, so proceeded to oul
billets for four days, then another
trip in the same lines. It was nut
everywhere the ground that hat
been trenches, wire entanglements
etc, was all about the same, LITERAL!

the train was rambling along at a
good speed.
Even great New York has grown
greater since l saw it ten years ago.
The block west of Sixth avenue, on
14th street, where I used to live, has
vanished; a great theatre covers the
ground there. The Hudson Tunnel
tubes, where / used to work, have en-
larged their stations and expanded
their road-system. Everything is be-
ing done to take the busy New York
err from home to office and vice versa
in the shortest possible time. There
is no use trying to describe this enor-
nous traffic. 1t must be seen and felt
before one can form faint idea OF
its greatness.
When that last explosion happened
over in Jersey City l stood just in
front of the custom house in New
York-only few hundred feet away.
AS l was standing on the ground I
did not observe the shock, but l could
not help noticing people rushing out
from the nearby slsy-scrap"rs; tn,
World building, the Singer building
and others. Four explosions follow
ed the first one, while columns Of
black smoke hid the vicinity of the
disaster.
l wish some of the good citizens of
Minot would take look at the activ-
tiles in Washington at the present
time. Thousands of clerks; crowded
for room, everybody hurrying along,
pushing and being pushed. The great
National Museum had 20 give up two
of it's largest floors for office use. In
stead Of finding sculpture from the
ages of the Greek masters you will
find today the real thing of modern
times, of the patriotic, Industrious
citizens of the United States Of Am
erica.
The present time finds me working
here in New York. Have joined a
staff of bookkeepers Of the Cortina
Academy of Languages. There are
about one million applications on file
in Washington and decided to earn
my living while / am waiting.
With kindest regards to your as
sociates and yourself, am as ever

til after the drawing in Washington

til after the drawing In Washington
and after the ordered numbers had been
affixed to the registration cards. After
the registration next week the ques-
tionnaires will be sent out with only
number This will effect a saving OF
25 to 80 days.
Some Will &c in October.
Gen. Crowder estimates that the
drawing In Washington will be held
on Oct 2 or soon thereafter. The war
department by that time will have
furnished the provost marshal gener-
ais Office with the requisition Of men
wanted in October. This will be filled
for the first part Of the month with
men remaining from the preceding
drafts. The men for the last half of
October will come from the new draft,
but Gen. Crowder was unable to esti-
mate today what number will be
called.
I'VE are up against a proposition of
stupendous proportions" Gen. Grow
der said. Registration and classifi.
cation Of 100000 men in 100 days
is the task We have set for ourselves
"On Dec. Is, 1917, we began a sixty,
day drive to classify 5000. 900 regis.
trants A total of so per cent. of the
draft boards completed this classified
ton within the sixty days limit. All
could have been through if all had en-
ployed the same expeditions meth.
DDS of the 60 per cent, that finished on
time.
Even Prisoners Must Register.
This new task contemplates the
classification Of 100000 more men
than were classified last year, but the
boards are now working more expedi
uously, and with forty days more in
which to complete the job, we should
be successful in completing the class
ltlcation Of the 100000 by JAN L.
Gen. Crowder said the classification
of men from 81 to 40 would be more
difficult task than the proceeding elias
sification, because there will be a
larger percentage of men to be given
deferred classification because of be
ing essential to the economic life OF
the nation or because of dependency
But the classification of the men be
low 81 will be comparatively simple
as there will be few claims to defer
red classification in this class.
Even inmates of penitentiaries will
be registered Sept. II. Felons will
not be drafted into the army, but the
wardens Of prisons will be required to
register them. Persons awaiting trial
and those convicted merely of misde
meanors. will be treated as absentees
and their cards will be forwarded tc
local boards by jailers.
Insane Also to Fill Cards.
Inmates of insane asylums and sim
liar institutions will be aided in fill
ing out registration cards by superin
tendents and physicians who will be
charged with the responsibility Of
forwarding these cards to the loca
boards.
No one will be exempted from reg
istering except men now in the mill
tary or naval service and reserves anc
men in the diplomatic or consular
corps of foreign governments resident
in the United States.

BISHOP GORMAN
NEW BISHOP OF BOISE WAS CON
SEcRATED LAST WEDNESDAY.

Last Wednesday, Right Reverend
Daniel M. German, D. D., was conse-
Grated Bishop of Boise, Idaho. The
consecrating prelate was the Most
Reverend John Bonzano, Apostolic
Delegate to the United States. The
ceremonies took place in st. Raphaers
Cathedral, Dubuque, Iowa. Bishop
Carroll, of Helena, Montana, preached
the sermon
Monsignor Daniel NJ German is a
native of Iowa and was born April
II, 1861. His parents came from Ire
land, and his father served as sol
dier in the Mexican war of 1846-4S.
DR.. German received his academic
education at Dubuque College, then
st. Joseph's, and at st. Francis
Seminary, Milwaukee, Wis. He was
honored with the degree of Doctor
of Laws by Mt. ST. Mary's College,
Emmitsburg, Md, October Is, 1908.
From 1894 to 1904 DR.. German was
professor at Dubuque College. For the
last eighteen years he has been it's
president, placing it in the front rank
of the country's prominent education
al institutions
Mgr. German is a leader of the
Catholic Educational Association, TAX
ing an eminent part in it's annual con-
ventions. 1t was chiefly through his
efforts that Dubuque College was in
recent years affiliated with the North
Central Association of Colleges, an
organization composed mainly of state
universities. Under his presidency
the number of students has risen to
600. On April 10, 1917, DIR. German

AGAINST CONSCRIPTION
PLEDGES SUBSCRIBED TO BY
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
IN IRELAND,

Throughout Ireland the covenant
to resist the imposition of conscrip-
tion by all possible means was admin
istered by priests and subscribed to
in quiet, uneffusive manner by hun
dreds Of thousands of people on April
21.
From every Catholic pulpit it was
the subject of discourse, and bishops
and political leaders explained the sub
ject. The practice followed in many
cases was for the priest to read the
pledge sentence by sentence, the peo-
pie reciting after him. In other cases
the pledge was given by the raising
of hands or the signing of a paper
The bishop took part with the in
ferior clergy in administering the
pledge, addressing the people and gen.
orally warning them against isolated
and unconsidered action. They urged
obedience to the orders of the recog-
nized leaders, who act in cooperation.

THE TWO SYSTEMS ARE MUTUAL
LY EXCL LUslVE-A CATHOLIC
CANNOT BE A socIALIsT-oPIN-
IONS OF CHRISTIANS.

Perhaps the most frank and honest
attempt to answer the questions:
rs Socialism antagonistic to relig-
ion?" and, "Can Socialist be Chris
tian?" are answered by the "Manifes-
to" of the British Socialist Party,
which has given circulation to it's dec
laration In the first chapter it asks
the two questions above, writes Josiah
Fenton, and after an explanation it
proceeds as follows:
rs Socialism as modern philoso-
ply opposed to modern religious
ideas?" Here is it's answer:
"All religious teaching is directly
opposed to the scientific materialism
which is an integral part of
the Socialist philosophy.
1T is a profound truth, therefore,
that Socialism is the natural enemy of
religion. Through Socialism alone will
the relations between men in society,
and their relations to nature become
reasonable, orderly and completely in
telligible, leaving no nook or Granny
for superstition. The entry of Social
ism is, consequently, the exodus of re-
ligion"
Clearly, then, the basis of socialist
philosophy is utterly incompatible with
religious IDEAS
The Manifesto" goes on for many
pages with like arguments Now let
me call your attention to how this
Socialist philosophy works out with
Christian men when they join its ranks.
George D. Heron, one time professor
in Grinnel College, Iowa, and a promi-
nent. Congregationalist clergyman, be-
came a convert to Socialism, and as
he became more and more enamoured
with the gospel of Marx, his views on
Christianity changed. He wrote the
following which appeared in most of
the Socialist papers of this nation:
Christianity today stands for what
is lowest and basest in life. The
Church of today sounds the lowest
note in human life. 1t is the most de-
