ARMY CHAPLAINS
MAKE USE OF TANKS
Airplanes Also Help Religious Workers
in Making Visits to Men in

PARIS, Sept. % Correspondence of
the Associated Press l.-Airplanes and
tanks are being used by volunteer chap
lains and field secretaries with the
Knights of Columbus, to serve the Ameri-
can soldiers over here.

is able to visit field hospitals within a
radius of 200 miles of his camp.
Airplane transportation was used by
the Rev. Mr. Moran for the first time
when he received two calls to say field
masses one Sunday morning. The call
came from villages fifty miles apart
where troops were billeted An aviation
pilot solved the problem for Chaplain
Moran by offering to take him to both
places and he went. The result was a
| field mass at one village at 6 o'clock in
the morning and at another mass in the
village fifty miles further on a 7.30 p. m
The Rev Edwin OHara, rector of the
Cathedral at Portland, volunteer chap
| lain for the Knights of Columbus, used a
tank to fulfill an engagement to say
mass to distant troops and secretary
went with him to supply the soldiers
with boxing gloves and baseball materia
for use after the services.

SOME POSSIBILITY
OF EVACUATION
Some Officials Think That Terms Might
be Accepted by Central Powers-This
Would Leave Matter of Armistice Up

WASHINGTON, Oct 10.-Germany S
plea for armistice is founded, both
American and allied military officials
here believe, upon recognition in Ber-
lin of the fact that the German army
organization in France is slowly disin-
tegrating under the terrific campaign of
Marshal Foch.
These officers regard the move of the
German chancellor as a desperate
eleventh hour attempt to escape serious
military disaster and they would not
be surprised if President Wilson s con
dition that there can be no talk of an
armistice except when coupled with
agreement to withdraw immediately
from all invaded territory were prompt
ly accepted
The answer to such move, it was
suggested, would be to leave to Marshal
Foeh the dictation of the terms Of the
armistiee, should the situation ever
reach that stage, as the supreme com
mander can be trusted to see that no
military advantage to the enemy re
