VATICAN INTERESTED IN PEACE
DISCUSSIONS.

The discussion of the statements
made by M. Clemenceau, the French
Premier, Count Czernin, formerly the
stro-Hungarian Foreign Minister,
and the peace letter written by EN-
peror Charles of Austria in the spring
of 1917, is being followed closely by
the Vatican, which, however, has SO
far made no official comment upon it.
AS some journals are already insinu-
ating that the Vatican was aware of
the peace efforts that were made last
year by the Central Powers, it is we'll
to recall the fact that the Holy See
had no connection whatever with
them.

Plan Historical Records.

The Committee on Historical Rec
ords of Catholic War Activities of the
National Catholic War Council,
through its chairman, Rt-Rev. Mgr.
II. r. DrumsCole, liz. d. has been
directed by the Administrative Com
mittee of Bishops to bend every effort
to secure at once and to preserve an
accurate and complete record of all
Catholic American activity in the
present war.
The securing of such a record .
says Mgr. Drumgoole, will require
the generous assistance of all Catho-
lies, especially the aid and the SYM
pathetic cooperation of every bishop
and priest, particularly of every pas
tor, the heads of Catholic societies of
men and women, and the editors of
Catholic papers and magazines.
''An individual appeal, therefore, is
now made to you to do your share,
large or small as it may be, to insure
the success of our efforts to gather
Catholic war records. Proper war
records will go far to guarantee and
facilitate adequate spiritual ministra-
tions to our men in military service.
They will show the needs of the mems
families and dependents, during and
after the war, and afford material for
an inspiring chapter in the story of
the Church's S religious and patriotic CO.
operation in our national crisis.

Service, which has been created by
the Government for present wal
needs, has called the attention of state

The Catholic Archbishops of the
United States and the National Catho.
lie War Council, meeting in Washing.
ton recently, approved a nationwide
campaign at an opportune time for
funds to aid the war council in it's
various activities. War councils were
suggested for every diocese to assist
local authorities in preserving decent
camp environments, caring for soldiers
on furlough and providing amusements
for them within the camps.
The passage of the army chaplains
bill was warmly commended Encour-
aging reports from the chaplains in the
camps, both here and in France, as to
the service rendered to the enlisted
men were read and discussed.
The Archbishops also deplored the
failure of some state legislatures in
passing prohibition laws to exempt the
expectation and use of wine for sacra-
mental purposes. The Archbishops
pointed out that one of the results of
this failure had been to place the
Catholic Church in the seeming atti-
tude of hostility to the temperance
movement.
In connection with the raising of
funds, Cardinal Farley of New York,
described the wonderful drive just
concluded in his city, resulting in
the strengthening of the councils
resources by the sum of $5,O00,000.

 CELEBRATE DELIVERANCE

to go into a house and deliberately break up everything they could lay their hands on.
 For miles around Roubaix and Tur- coing the countryside has been singed and scorched by the red heat of war. Broken cannon, rusted rifles, pieces of shell, barbed wire and the payonets and other equipment of soldiers are scattered all about. There are miles of mangled fields where the shell era ters are so thick that it is impossible to tell where one begins and the other leaves off. Here and there are old ma chine gun mounts of stone, concrete and cement. The trees are leaffless and many have been chewed to pieces 1 by flying shells and bullets. Douai, in it's waste and desolation is | sad sight.
 The streets are filled with furniture and articles of all kinds. The stained glass windows in the Church of St. | Peter have been smashed and the great organ has been broken up. Re- 1 Iigious ornaments were found scatter 1 ed about the floor of the church. The l city hall, where the German com mandant had his quarters, was pillag-
 ed and sacked. Most of the paintings
 in the museum were taken away, but
 fortunately the belfry was undam-
 aged. The material losses are incal-
 cuable.

With the British Army in France Sunday, Oct 2O-(By the Associated Press) -Roubaix and Turcoing today celebrated their deliverance from the enemy and it was like an American Christmas, New Years Eve and Fourth of July all rolled into one. Tears of joy intermingled with shouts of laughter while the population sang and danced and waved flags.
 The two cities went completely wild with emotional joy. There were kisses hugs and handshakes for every British soldier. On their win dows housewives had pasted pictures of French and British military celeb rites torn from magazines.
 The swashbuckling Germans had gone. leaving in their wake as much ruin as they could do. Nearly every nome in the city had been ransacked and things that could not be carried away were wantonly destroyed.
 The Germans were piqued at being forced to leave the town and they went to the length of def1ling and robbing Roubaix and TurcOing were systematically burglarized, RoubaiS suffe ring the most. Apparently they went through the fine old homes of the city with the idea of seeing how much they could wreck the interiors In many places the Germans seemed

 On the opening day of the Mouse Argonne offensive American aviators brought down nineteen German ma chimes but sixteen American airplanes were either lost or damaged. Or Friday only one American machine was forced to land. That was the one piloted by McDermott, and he landed near Bruelles. His machine was brought in Saturday by infantry. men.

LIQUOR DEALERS ARE APPLYING
 FOR LICENSES

Prospect of nation wide prohibition for the period of the war, which will probably take effect next July, has not decreased to any appreciaible extent the applications for liquor licenses from the towns of Fairfield county outside of Bridgeport according to the County commissioners. They esti- mate that only about per cent. have failed to renew their applications.
 This is contrary to expectation, but is said to Ee due in part at least to the prospect that peace will be &C., complished in the near future. Un- der the law licenses taken out now must be paid for in full, although af- ter July l of next year it is expected, sale of liquor will be abolished, for the period of the war. Many dealers will pay the fee and look to the state leg islature to reimburse them for the portion of the license unexpired at that date.
 Applications are now being received From the towns of the county outside Iof Bridgeport. and commencing No vember 1 licenses will be granted The Bridgeport license year does not commence until December 1, owing to a later town election date

AMERICAN AIRMEN BRING
 DOWN 17 GERMAN PLANES

With the American Army North west of Verdun, Sunday, Oct. 20-(By The Associated Press)-American aviators by inaugurating night patrols along the Mouse have attracted much attention among the airmen of other nations.
 On Friday night, when the system was inaugurated, five aviators started seeking any German machine that might be about When an American searchlight picks up an American ma chine, prearranged signal is given, eliminating danger that the American might be shot down by his own men. When the airmen are aloft their air dromes are brilliantly lighted so that they may return without trouble.
 In the All-American bombing eX- petition behind the German lines Fri day, American pursuit airplanes brought down seventeen German ma chimes. Most of the victories have been confirmed officially. Not one American machine was lost, making the day stand out in the history of American aviation.

ress towards the western bank of the Lys. along the Deynze-Eecloo canal and near the Dutch frontier, the Ger mans have been forced to withdraw over the whole front.
 The Belgian army has established itself along the canal. Its left flank is on the Dutch frontier and, the army has occupied the important centers of Aeltre. Adeghem. Bellum and Ursel (about 10 miles west of Ghent.)
 French forces have thrown the en- emy rear guards back over the Lys and notwithstanding floods brought about by the Germans. have crossed the river and established bridges. One of these is between Grammene and Peteghem and another i3 east of Oy- ghem.
 "The second British army, in spite of strong resistance and the difficult ties arising from destroyed commu- nicatiors has crossed the Lys along the whole of its front and advanced It's right flank to the western out skirts of Pecq in the valley of the Es- caut.

Rheumatism Goes TOrtUring Pains and Swollen Joints Vanish When
 Rheuma Is JTSpd.

At last real remedy for rheuma- tism! And a good one 1t must be i when Hartigan's Drug Stores and good druggists everywhere sell it on ! the no-cuze no-pay basis.
 Rheumatics should hail the news with great rejoicing, for it is surely a remarkable remedy and has a record of almost unbelievable cures. Read what J. F. Oliver of Albany, Ga., says about it.:
 '1 had sciatic rheumatism for two years, and tried every medicine offer ed for rheumatism. Tried many doc tors, was treated at one of the best Southern sanitariums, and if I i'm proved any I did not realize 1t. I am a conductor on the Central of Georgia Railroad, and had secured a pass to Hot Springs, Ark, to take treatment About that time I saw Rheuma advertised and concluded to try 1t, and now feel as well as ever. I am going to make everybody I see who has rheumatism try it. I would not take a hundred thousand dollars for what Rheuma has done for me. would rather be dead than live as I was before the use of Rheuma."
 If you. have rheumatism in any form don't delay--try Rheuma today. A large bottle, sufficient for two weeks treatment, is not expensive, land your money back if 1t does not give you quick and joyful reIIe2.--Adv. I. .t1al- aia saft, N

GREEKS MADE TO
 DIG IN TRENCHES
 UNDER SHELL FIRE
Mayor of Saloniki to Ere. sent Sword to General
 d'Esperry.

Saloniki, Sunday, Oct. 2O-Greeks from eastern Macedonia who were t@ke en from their homes by the Bull gaTians and sent to the neighborhood of Kitchevo, Serbia, during the war, are arriving here following their nb- eration by the Allies. They say they were forced to construct trenches along the Struma front and were un- der fire much of the time. Women and children also were under shell fire at times.
 During the occupation of Greek Macedonia, tens of thousands of per sons were deported and many of them have died from their narrowing eX- perienCe.
 The mayor of Saloniki has decided to present a sword of honor to Gen. eral Franchet d 'Esperry as a token o1 the profound gratitude of the people of the city to the French general who brought about the decisive victory over the enemy.
 Lieutenant General Milne, the com. mander of the British force on the Macedonia front, will be given a stat uette symbolizing the evacuation o1 | Bulgaria.

STOCK MARKET

New York, Oct. 21-Wall St. 10:3O a. m.-Trading on the stock exchange today opened with another substan- tial demonstration of strength, the list showing no indications of last Saturdays abrupt reaction. Mexican Petroleum again was the spectacular feature, soon gaining 10 S-4 points and as suddenly losing all it's rise. General Motors advanced 1-2 in the first few transactions but the most impressive movement was in Southern Pacific, which opened with an offering of 5000 shares at an eX- Sseme rise of IA points. [. s. Steel, shippings and some of the war issues rise one to two points.
 The reaction in Mexican Petroleum extended to 12 points from which it rallied points. Other speculative issues were temporarily unsettled by the sensational course of Mexican falling back one to two points, but the continued strength of rails and shippings, especially southern Pacific Atchison, Reading, New York Central and Marines, served to neu49alize the movement. War shares and motors were firm to strong, but experienced extensive profit taking in the active first hour. Shippings and United States Steel guided the list toward higher levels at noon.
