K. OF c. CONVENTION
ANNUAL MEETING WAS HELD
THIS WEEK-VAST SUM Ex-
PENDED FOR WAR WORK.

More than 1000 Knights of Colum-
bus from all parts of the United States
and it's territories and insular posses
sions assembled in New York last
Tuesday for the annual convention of
the order, at which the first general
accounting of it's war activities was
made public.
James A. Flaherty of Philadelphia,
Supreme Knight, informally opened
the convention and reviewed the
achievements of the past year. Thus
far, he said, $11 ,569,529 had been con-
tributed and pledged to the K. of c.
war fund.
He described the main purpose of
the convention, that of planning the
campaign to raise $4,000 900 to carry
on the Knights Of Columbus war serV-
ice abroad and in America through
training camps.
President Wilson, in a letter to a
Brooklyn brother, declared, "The gen.
erous work inaugurated by the
Knights of Columbus is so instinct
with the best purposes and already is
so rich in accomplishment that it
should be heartily supported"
Secretary Baker, in accepting the
offer of the Knights of Columbus to
erect buildings in American training
camps, said: 1--WE welcome the
strong stand that your organization
has always taken in regard to the
moral hazards surrounding young
mans life. We shall be glad to CO.
operate with you."

NEW ARMY CHAPLAINS
ST. LOUIS CONTRIBUTES NINE
TEEN PRIESTS TO ARMY
AS CHAPLAINS.

Rev. M. J. O'Leary of St. Columb-
kile Church of Byrnesville, Mo-, has
announced his intention of taking an
army chaplaincy and will soon receive
an appointment. 1t is also expected
that Rev. John R. Morgan, who re-
Gently resigned his pastorate of st.
Joseph's Church at Pennington, will
be appointed to chaplaincy.
Rev. John Kelley of st. Agnes
Church has also taken the examina-
tions, as has Rev. William Hamtil of
st. Wenceslaus, who is the first Bo-
hemian priest to go from that diocese
and probably the first to go from this
country.
Mgr. J. j. Tannrath, chancellor of
the diocese, estimates the number of
priests who have gone as chaplains,
or as waiting appointments, at nine
teen.

ANTI-RELIGIOUS PLAN
YOUNG GENERATION WILL NOT
BE PERMITTED OPPORTUNITY
FOR RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION.

The character of being extremely re-
ligious which all travellers attributed
to the Russians, has vanished to a
very large extent under the influence
of the revolution, or, rather, under the
influence of the extreme revolution
aries. Attacks have been made upon
the Russian Church, and now it ap-
pears that religion in general is be-
ing subjected to blasphemy and con-
tempt
In a recent issue of a Russian news
paper appeared the report of meet
ing held at the Winter Palace, at
which a violent attack was made on
religion by Jew named Spidzburg.
The "Papists,' he said, were every
where the organizers of religious
movements, with the Pope of Rome at
their head. The older people might
be allowed to believe what they wish,
but the revolutionaries would see to
it that the younger generation would
not be "perverted,' and the clergy
would be excluded from the schools
The speaker referred to the clergy
and religious ceremonies in a manner
that was both blasphemous and in
decent. The paper states that the
audience was largely made up of sol
diers and sailors; that the speaker
had received some sort of official ap
proval, and that his audience fre
quently applauded his denunciations
>e s-1I = 49,
lies. There is some reason for be
lieving that Spidzburg is less Rus
sian than he is Jew.

GOVERNOR GOODRICH ANSWERS

Fellow CitiZens-I assure you it is
a pleasure to be here today to witness
the dedication of this hut, contributed
to the nations cause by the knights
OF Columbus. | am glad to be here
because this organization is a part of
the great Mother Church, whose mem
bership in America has ever been true
to the nations cause From the revo-
lutionary days down to the present,
our country has never called to your
people in vain; and, as long as you
will hold true to the memorable words
of the Bishop this morning, we shall
never call in vain. Charles Carroll,
of Carrollton, the relative of the patri-
OF Archbishop of Baltimore, was a
signer of the Declaration of Independ-
ence and close friend of Washington.
Lecky, the great historian, has testi-
fed that approximately 40 per cent of
the men in the army of George Wash
ington were members of your Church.
Commodore John Barry an Irish i'm
migrant and Catholic, was the father
of the American navy. In our own
beloved State was the heroic Father
Gibault, who through his great influ-
ence aided George Rogers Clark in
conquering this great northwest coun-
try Of ours from the English. No more
| inspiring sight in the great Civil War
| was witnessed than when Father Cor
by of Notre Dame administered abso-
| luton to the gallant Irish Brigade,
which distinguished itself on the Ma
tion's birthday in the winning of that
great battle. And so all down through
American history, while you have rem
dered unto the great Mother Church
the things that belong to her, you
lave not failed to render unto the

shoppers and employees pause and bow
their heads in prayer.

Crystallizing the Nations opinion of
the great war relief work being done
by the knights of Columbus, President
Wilson, in a letter TO Thomas j.
Evers, Chairman of a committee of
Long Island Knights in charge of a
X. of c. week celebration at Coney
Island, n. Y, gave the cordial word
ity in the land for the vast undertak-
ing that is achieving splendid results
= for the Nations defenders.
I'm the prosecution of the war
against the dominance of militarism
and for the protection of our homes
wrote Mr.. Wilson, Eve must make
every effort to tighten the burdens of
the men who carry our cOlOrs and to
keep them close to the ideals of the
homes for which they are making the
supreme sacrifice in camps, at home
and abroad, and to carry the generous
message of an unselfish America to
the soldiers and prisoners in France,
in Russia, in Italy, and do these
things without regard to race or
creed or nationality, is to give reality
to their faith in our land and in the
common cause we defend.
"The generous work inaugurated by
the Knights of Columbus, the Young
Mems Christian Association and the
Young Mems Hebrew Association, is
so instinct with the best purposes and
i ,ial, -, 1irI13 mt
that it should be heartily supported.
The campaign which the Knights
of Columbus are undertaking to raise
a special fund for their work is of
capital importance to the useful work
they are doing in increasing the COM
fort and contentment of our citizen
army, and should meet with generous
response from all our people"
Americans everywhere, and particu-
larly those Americans at present en-
gaSed in actually defending tAe Re-
public, will rejoice at these words of
our President Following testimony
by Secretary of War Baker and by
Secretary of the Navy Daniels-the
two Government officials most direct
\ ly concerned with everything that is
done to aid the men controlled by
their departments-thi letter from
the President constitutes a tribute
that will be prominently associated
with the glorious history of the K. of
c. war relief work, when that history
shall come to be written.
incidentally, it may be mentioned
that Miss Margaret Wilson, the Presi-
dents daughter, has already given
practical expression to her apprecia-
ton of the Orders work in the camps
by appearing at a concert in K. of

Kelly, Tex, where her singing evoked
tremendous applause. Miss Wilson

RIGHT REVEREND JOHN r. Nc
NICHOLAS, Q. p, WAS FORMER
LY NATIONAL DIRECTOR OF
THE HOLY NAME SOCIETY-AN
ABLE LINGUIST-WILL BE CON-
SECRATED IN ROME.

Among the recent appointments to
American sees by His Holiness, Pope
Benedict XIV, there is named the
Very Reverend John T. McNicholas,
o. P, S. T. Lr., at present assistant to
the General of the Dominicans and re-
siding at Rome.
The Bishop-elect takes up his new
duties to the episcopacy of the See
of Duluth, Mimi, with very eXcep-
tional qualifications. Although still a
young man-Father McNicholas was
born in County Mayo, Ireland, De-
cember 1877-he has had great ex-
perience in every field of priestly ac-
tivity. His studies began at the Gesu,
Philadelphia, were continued in the
Dominican houses of Kentucky and
Ohio and completed at the Minerva,
Rome, whittier he was sent on account
of his exceptional promise and where
he won the degree of Doctor of Divin-
ity, specializing in Canon Law. Imme-
diately upon his return from the
Eternal City, he was made Novice

ed near Somerset, Ohio. This office
he held most successfully for five
years, acting also as professor of phil
osophy, canon law and homiletics.
Holy Name Society.
Realizing the splendid opportunities
offered by the Holy Name Society for
combating the evils of the day, Father
McNicholas asked to be relieved Of his

preparation and extension of the So
ciety. Seeing the need of centraliza-
ton, he established the Bureau of the
Holy Name Society in New York City
which has since become the great me-
dunn of communication among Bish-
ops, pastors and the laity, who are
devoted to the Holy Name. The Of
fetal publication of the Society-The
Holy Name Journal-of which Father
McNichOlas was the editor for eight
years, and to which he devoted every
fibre of his energy, is one of the most
widely read Catholic papers in the
United States, it's circulation extend
ing to every state in the Union 1t
was mainly through Father McNich-
olas' initiative that the first National
Congress of Holy Name Societies was
held, the fruits of which was an un-
precedented multiplication of branch
es throughout the United States, Can
ada, and even far-away Australia.
! Through his unceasing activity and
great power of organization the So
ciety on his departure for Rome num-
bered almost 5000 branches with
100000 communicates.
An Able Canonist.
Father McNicholas is also known
| throughout the country as an able
canonist. One of his striking con
| tributions in this field has been an in
depreciation of the "Ne Temere" de-
cree which attracted nationwide atten
ton. 1t has proved an invaluable
addition to ecclesiastical literature
In response to a demand for popular
lives of Dominican saints, Father Nc
Nicholas published several brochures
which were we'll received by both
clergy and laity. He compiled the
