Well. talk about your brave solder

was none other than Private Sandy

According to Teuton Officials
Who Were Criticised.
Of tho Associated Press.

Correspondence Of tho Associated Press.
LONDON, May 11.-'Suicide" Is the
word used by the German naval au-
thorities to describe what 1t would
mean for the kaiser's navy to attempt
to interfere with the transport of al
lied troops and munitions across the
English channel.
According to German papers consid-
erable irritation has been caused in
Germany by the rapidity with which
England has been throwing men into
France and criticism has been direct
ed at the admiralty. In a vigorous
defense Rear Admiral Karl Hellweg
points out that the activity Of the
German navy is subject to certain
geographical limitations.
"A voluntary attempt to remove
those limitations" he argues, would
signify a heroic but useless suicide
for the German fleet. The distance
from German harbors is too great for
the regular and frequent attacks
which alone could cause continuous
small German fleet cannot remain
long in the channel, for submarines
and mines would reap rich harvest

Discussing U-boat warfare possibil-
tiles generally, he alludes to a sug-
gestion made to post submarines off

idea, he says, "is impracticable." be-
cause there are not enough subma-

ALLIES WARN FINLAND
IN REGARD TO RAIL WAY
Measures Directed Against Mour-
mansk Line Will Be Regarded
Breach Of Neutrality.

LONDON. Hay 22.-Any measures
directed by Finland against the Mour-
mansk railway will be regarded by
Great Britain. France and the United
States as breach of neutrality, the
Dagblad of Stockholm says A Stock
holm dispatch to the Morning Post
quotes this newspaper to the effect
that the Finnish government has
been SO informed by Great Britain.
The Mourmansk railway was built
after the war began, primarily to
give Russia another port of entry

mansk, on the Arctic, across the Kola
peninsula to a junction point with
the Archangel-Petrogra line
French and British marines for
some time have been guarding the
war materials stored there. These
troops were reinforced recently by a
British expedition. Last month a
party of Finnish white guards made
an attempt to cut the railway line.

ANNUAL REPORT.


Last Sunday, at all the masses,

the annual report of the church he
so we'll directs. Under his able and

noticed at the reading of every

exception. The finances Of the parish
are in excellent condition. an in.

The climax was the generous Christ.
mas collection. which surpassed last
years by about 500.
The spiritual side shows also a
healthy growth. The communions in
creased by 6,39S over last years, the
total number for 1917 being 1926.
This large number of communions is,
indeed, gratifying and gives the best
criterion of the spiritual condition of
the parish. 1t is to be hoped that
the year 1918 will see an increase of
10000 and thus reach the $4,000
mark. The attendance at the daily
masses is not what it should be, but
this will soon be remedied by the
organization of a special society to
promote that most laudable habit.
All the societies show increase, both
in numbers and members. The
League of the Sacred Heart Is the
largest, having 500 members. Both
Conferences of st. Vincent de Paul
have done most excellent work. The
Altar Society, composed Of 265 mem
bers, through its hard-working and
devoted members, has been able to
meet the numerous sanctuary ex-
penses. More members are invited
to join. The Children Of Mary still
continue to increase in numbers and
piety. They have now ITS members.
most of whom are monthly communi-
cants. They are q source of edifica-
ton to the parish and the pride and
consolation Of their homes. There
are yet many young ladies who
should belong to this beautiful so
ciety. The Ladies Catholic Benevo-
lest Association, with 1876 members,
offers benefits of one Of the best in
surance societies in the country.
These ladies meet every second
Tuesday at the H. N. G. C. Hall.
The Knights of Columbus have
taken the lead in the organizations
of men. They are increasing their
every time class is

vicinity. They are recruiting from
among the best manhood Of Algiers.
The Catholic Knights Of America and
the Ancient Order of Hibernians are
holding their own and are doing a
great amount Of good in their own
spheres.
The Holy Name Society has
a stormy year with good
success. After a general readjust-
ment of its membership and stand
