Opens January 70 for Beneht Of Catho-
lies in Army and Navy.
One week from next Sunday the
knights of Columbus campaign VIII open
in this State, the purpose being to raise
funds to further the moral and religious
needs Of all those in the army or navy
who are in unity with the Catholic
Church. In this connection the following
letter was read at the FIVE masses at the
Cathedral Sunday from the Rt. Rev.
Bishop s. ]. Rice:
January g. 1913.
Rev. Dear Father:
On January Goth a campaign to provide
funds for the moral and spiritual needs
of our American soldiers and sailors at
home and overseas will be inaugurated
in every city and town Of Vermont.
The United States government has OFF,
cially designated the Knights OF Column
bus to have charge Of the moral and
religious needs Of all the Catholics in the
American army and navy. Only through
the Knights of Columbus soldier fund can
we do anything for the religious welfare
of the valiant young Catholics who have
offered their lives at their country's call.
The highest authorities vouch for the
statement that in the American army
% out OF every 100 are Catholics and In
the American navy the proportion Of
Catholics Is even stronger. We quote
these figures in order to arouse you to a
realization Of the size of the task con-
fronting us. and we entreat you in Gods
Holy Name, to come to the aid Of these
stalwart Catholic patriots who depend
largely on your generosity for the con.
ISOLATION Of religion in the most trying
70 pf thntr u, 90
we beseech you to contribute to the cam.
paign fund as generously as your means
will permit, and after that. to cooperate
enthusiastically with the campaign-work-
ers Of your locality in soliciting funds.
On Sunday, January Goth, we direct that
a special sermon, urging the faithful
to fulfill this patriotic and religious duty,
be preached at all the masses in every
church of the diocese.
Per order of the Rt. Rev. Bishop,
JOSEPH F. GILLIS. Chancellor.

HELMETS NEEDED.
Vermont knitters Urged to Turn Atten-
ton i'm That Direction.

Helmets are much needed by the Ameri-
can Red Cross with which to supply the
soldiers and sailors of the United States
forces. The demand for helmets have been
greatly increased by the severe cold
weather and the available supply in store
houses has been exhausted 1t is asked
that all knitters in Vermont turn attention
to the helmets for couple Of weeks The
situation was explained in detail in a COM
munication from the New England division
headquarters at Boston to Secretary H. S.
Howard Of the State chapter.
100000 IN RED CROSS.
Secretary H. S. Howard has received the
official report from Chairman Henry d.
Davidson. chairman of the American Red
Cross War Council of the membership
drive. as follows:
THE latest reports available indicate
that the Christmas drive for ten million
new members for the American Red Cross
has resulted in the addition of full sixteen
million names to its rolls. This number
added to the more than six million MEM
bers before the Christmas campaign makes
the total present enrolment fully twenty
two million. This is a magnificent fact, an
expression not alone of the patriotism,
but Of the fine sympathy and idealism
Of the whole American people. The Red
Cross War Council congratulates and
welcomes every new member Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross: likewise it congratulates
the officers and old members of the or
ganization who have given unstintedly Of
their time and effort to make this MEM
bership campaign success. But the
| wonderful achievement Of enrolling one
fifth Of the entire population Of the United
States as members Of the American Red
Cross Is less a triumph than call to
greater service. The Red Cross Is not
merely humanitarian organisation
separate and distinct from others, but it
Is the mobilized heart and spirit Of the
whole American people. The American
Red Cross Is carrying a message Of love
| and sympathy to American soldiers and
sailors and to the troops and civilian
population of our allies in all parts Of the
| world. 1t is seeking to alleviate the suf-
fering incident to the war. 1t is seeking
| to shorten the war and it it seeking to
lay foundation for a more enduring
peace when the war is over. AS we stand
on the threshold of New Year in this
hour OF world tragedy. there can be but
one thought in the minds of the twenty
| two million members of the American Red
Cross. and that is to serve and sacrifice
as never before"
