K. OF C. TO EMPLOY WOMEN

ploying women in certain work may
develop and crystalize into fact.
IF, as now appears possible, the
Government requests that man power
be relieved of this work and the task
given over to women, the knights will
probably conduct training school for
them in the vicinity of Greater New
York. Here women would be in
structed in the duties of operating
Canteens and Post Exchange Service
stations abroad 1t is important that
this work be standardized and syste-
matiZed, so as to permit the trans
ferring of women workers whenever
they would be most needed without
disrupting the work or disturbing the
details.
The knights of Columbus, now, as
always, cooperate in every possible
manner with the Government, and if
Washington adopts the plan we had in
view of employing women in certain
work abroad, we will be prepared,
without delay, to put our plans into
operation.
Conservation of man power is one
of the paramount problems confront
ing this country at this moment, and
the Knights of Columbus will help the
Government solve it,

Anticipating possible governmental
control of Canteen and Post Exchange
work abroad and considering the
scarcity Of man power, the Knights of
Columbus Committee on War Activi-
ties is arranging for the possible
opening of a preparatory school where
women may receive the necessary
instructions for duties in connection
with the operation Of Canteens and
work incidental to Post Exchanges
abroad.
William J. Mullisan, Chairmag of X.

discussing this, said;
The Knights of Columbus Commit
tee on War Activities had foreseen
the possible necessity of accepting
women's service in certain lines of
war relief work abroad, because of
the shortage of man-power. Now that

Archbishop Stagni Dead
FORMER APOSTOLIC DELEGATE
TO CANADA-HAD BEEN ILL
FOR SOME TIME.

News was received in Montreal that
mer Apostolic Delegate to- Canada,
died in Rome, October 23 He had
been delegate for the past seven years.
Archbishop Stagni was born in Bud
rio, near Bologna, Italy, April 2, 1859.
He was a member of the Order of
the Servants of Mary. He spent some
time as pastor of St. Marys Church
in London, England. Here he ac-
quired a perfect mastery of the Eng
lish language. In 1892 he was made
professor of philosophy in the College
of Propaganda, Rome, the same insti-
tuition in which he had completed his
ecclesiastical studies. His genial per-
sonality endeared him to clergy and
laity alike in the Eternal City. His
exceptional abilities were soon recog
nized by the Holy Father, and he was
made a member of various Roman
congregations. He became Procurator
General and. eventually, Superior Gen.
eral of his Order.
In 1907 Father Stagni was appointed
Bishop of Aquila in Italy On Novem-
Der 3, 1910, he became Titular Arch
bishop of Ancira, and was sent as
Apostolic Delegate to Canada. A few
months ago he returned to Rome after
having been ill for some time. He
was succeeded as Delegate by Arch
bishop Di Maria. Archbishop Stagni
was looked upon in Rome as a man
possessed less of brilliancy than of
depth of intellect and solidity of
judgment. His opinion in ecclesiasti-
cal matters was frequently sought by
the Holy See itself.

Council when called upon at short no.
tice to gear into the vast machinery
of the National organization. He
described the enthusiasm manifested
in the various Provincial conferences
throughout the country. He laid en-
phasis on the fact that the ten thou
sand parishes being organized aimed
at two objects: First, to oversub-
scribe the minimum amount required;
second to maintain permanent
parish organization after the cam
paign.
Mr.. Hill then dwelt on the necessity
of efficient work To this end, he en-
larged upon the essentials of success
full organization and elaborated what
he called the Big Six of efficiency.
These are: ID high definite stand
ard; (2) a clear, comprehensive plan;
90 an organization equal under the
plan to attain the goal; "a leader
ship; 60 physical resources, as
money, printed matter, ETC.; co
fidelity to the plan adopted.

pected from boys and girls: He
pointed out that, according to statis-
tics, there are two hundred and forty
boys and girls, between the ages of
twelve and twenty, in every one thou
sand of the population.
Mrs. w. J. Logue spoke briefly of
her work in the Victory Girls cam
paign. She called attention to the
work of the girls in our colleges, high
schools and grade schools, and their
efforts to meet the requirements of

paign.
Clerical Speakers.
Rev. Frank r. Burns, Chaplain at
Fort Smelling, gave an interesting and
forceful talk on the work and the re-
suits attained by our Catholic chap
lains among the soldiers He said
that the work of the chaplain among
the enlisted men had three effects.
First, it injects direct Catholic in
fuence among them. Second, it pre-
serves the ideals of the soldiers, and
thus maintains their morale on high
level Third, by means of the various
creature comforts afforded the sol
diers the home atmosphere is carried
into the camp.
Rev James YCleary,. pastor of the
Church of the Incarnation, and Rev.
Thomas E. Cullen pastor of the Pro-
Cathedral, both of Minneapolis, spoke
briefly. They heartily endorsed the
work undertaken in it's various
branches, and each speaker pointed
directly to the necessity of getting
down to the actual work of organiza-
tion. They lauded the work, not only
for it's present usefulness, but also for
the strong, definite bearing it wilr
have in the future if carried along
faithfully by the pastors in their sew
eral parishes.
Father Byrne closed the meeting
with a brief resume of the work al
ready accomplished, and a strong ex-
hortation to both priests and dele
gates to exert themselves to the very
utmost in order to make successful
this great task. to which the nation
has given itself.
