Next Catholic Indian
Congress. Voted Solen
succsssful Three Day Catholic Indian
Congress Closed Monday-Solsn to
Get the Next Congress

The Catholic Indian Congress
which convened at Fort Yates Sa-
turday morning, closed Monday.
It was one of the most successful
ever held, although the attendance
was not as large as in former years.
About $50 delegates were present,
and in the neighborhood Of 1000
visitors. The visitors came from
different points in North and South
Dakota.
Bishop Wehrle Of Bismarck spoke
Sunday morning to a large class of
communicates, and later conducted
confirmation services. A large class
Of young people were confirmed
and took part in the Holy Com.
munion for the first time.
Father Quinn Of New York, repre-
rsenting the Catholic Indian Bureau
Of Washington, was on the program
every day, and his addresses were
among the most interesting deliver.
ed during the Congress.
Father Francis of Kenel, made
an address in Sioux Saturday. He
spoke on the war and paid high
tribute, to the Indians from this
reservation who have responded to
the call to arms.
Father Gordon, a full-blood
Chippewa Indian priest Of Superior,
Wisconsin, was on the program
Monday, and his address was q
very able effort.
All the addresses delivered in
English were interpreted in Sioux
BY Benjamin White.
At the buainess meeting Of the
Congress resolution was adopted
that the next annual Catholic In.
dian Congress be held at solen.
The date to be set later.
One of the features Of the Con.
gress was the singing led BY quire
consisting Of Miss Mcsorley, Mrs.
I: j. Reedy, John Baine and Ben
White.
The success Of the Congress is in q.
large measure due to the untiring
efforts of Rev. Fir. Bernard and FIR.
Vincent, as well as the Sisters of
the Fort Yates Catholic Sisterhood,

o.ors. WHIT. Discharged

L 81 y .
George White, who enlisted in
the regular army last fall, returned
home from jefferson Barracks, Miss
ouri, Monday, having been dis
charged from the army on account
Of physical disability. As he was
unable>to travel alone he was ac-
companied By Pvt. 1. P. Boyd Of
the Medical Department, whom the
commanding officer sent along to
care for the sick man on the road
and see that he received proper at
tention until he reached Fort Yates.
White contracted case Of inccipient
tuberculosis following a long illness
from pneumonia, and the chances
are that with proper treatment and
rest he will recover. There is one
outstanding fact that the Pioneer
will call attention to, and that ] ie
the Government provides every care
possible for the drafted and enlisted
men in the army. Who ever heard
Of the Huns detailing a perfectly
good soldier to accompany a dis
charged sick man home-a trip en-
failing q journey Of about 1900
miles.

herself to sleep many night She
then trained red heifer to draw her
