trains were made up for battalions,

carrying food enough to last the men
aboard until they reached their desti-

Major Lund's train was big incon-

stopping the train at points enroute

DOMINICAN SISTERS
VISIT OF MOTHER GENERAL
GROWTH OF THEIR SCHOOLS
IN THIS DIOCESE.

Mother Mary Samuel, of st. Clara's
Convent, Sinsinawa, Wis, Mother Gen.
eral of the Sisters of the Third Order
of st, Dominic, has been spending
considerable time with the Sisters OF
the order in the Archdiocese. The
gratifying development Of the institu-
lions conducted by the Dominican Sis
tiers in Minneapolis and in Faribault
requires considerable attention, and
has induced the Mother General to
study in detail the conditions in the
schools and converts at the present
time as well as the problems of future
growth. The class rooms of the Holy
Rosary school in Minneapolis are ia
miliar to Mother Samuel who had
charge of the school several years ago.
The Incarnation school, now in its
eighth year, is filled up with an en-
rollment of four hundred and twenty
six pupils, and another hundred clam
oring to enter the splendid new class
rooms to be completed mex. week. In
Faribault Bethlehem Academy needs a
new building, and will probably have
it just as soon as the "after-war" con.
ditions warrant the undertaking. One
of the fruits of this institution is its
influence on the public schools of the
county, many of the teachers in the
county having received their profes'
sional training in the normal school
department of Bethlehem Academy.

DIOCESE OF FARGO

Fried: The celebration in the Sa-
cred Heart parish at Fried, on No
vember IA, is something to be remem-
bered by young and old. One of it's
parishiOners who had been raised to
the priesthood at Oldenburg, Indiana,
on the Sunday previous by Bishop
Chartrand, celebrated his First Holy
Mass on Thursday at 1920 A. M.
Under the joyful Ginning of the
church bells the newly ordained priest,
Rev. William Marschke, o. F. M,
proceeded from the presbytery to the
church. He was accompanied by the
Rev. Fathers Geraghty and Van Nicer,
all being vested for Mass. The church
was beautifully decorated with two
floral arches in the center aisle and
blue silk draperies in the sanctuary.
The high altar, SO artistically painted
with a marble finish for the occasion
by one of the Sisters of Fried's Acad-
envy, was beautiful with it's bouquets
of pink and white roses. Rev. Father
Thomas from Oregon, cousin of the
new priest, addressed the large crowd
of relatives and friends. He spoke on
the duties of the priest towards God
Chruch and fellowmen. After the
service Father William gave his first
blessing to his father and mother and
each individual present.

MORE WORK THAN EVER
K. OF C. SECRETARIES HAVE
GREATER TASKS NOW THAN IN
TIME OF ACTUAL WARFARE.

William J. Mulligan, Chairman of
knights of Columbus Committee on
War Activities, discussing K. of c.
activities overseas, now that an arm
istice is in effect, said:
We are exerting every effort toward
being prepared for eyentualities. By
that l mean that when the period of
reconstruction actually begins the
knights of Columbus will be ready to
care for our soldiers and sailors. dur
ing the time which must elapse before
demobilization of our fighting forces
is accomplished.
And, in my opinion, events during
the period of reconstruction will test
the mettle of the Knights of Columbus
and other war work organizations.
To look after the recreational, phys
ical and spiritual welfare of three mil
lion men here and abroad during war
time is huge task; but to do it dur
ing a time of peace when these mil
lions of men will need more care and
looking after, because they will have
more time to themselves, will require
every ounce of effort that an organi-
cation like the Knights can put forth.
Three million men, awaiting demob-
ilization, will be harder to care for
than three million men awaiting to go
into battle. Two million men abroad
will chafe to get back home-back to
the country they love, and to keep
them contented and happy during the
waiting period is one of the knights
of Columbus tasks for which we are
now preparing.
The knights of Columbus pledge to
the American people, that no Ameri
can soldier or sailor will lack care and
comfort, holds good until every sol
der and sailor has been released from
service. We have done much, are do
ing much now-but, in my opinion
our big task is still ahead of us.

POPE WRITES POLES
PoNTIFF REJoIcEs AT POLAND
FREED.

In the letter which Pope Benedict
XIV wrote to the Archbishop of War
saw, he says, in the grave period
through which Europe is passing he
cannot resist the impulse to show his
affection for the Polish nation with
words of comfort and hope.
After centuries of repression, con-
tinues the Pontiff, Poland lives as ever.
Documents in the archives of the Vat
lean relating to Poland, which are to
be published soon, says the Pontiff,
wiki show the almost indescribable
martyrdom of the Polish nation.
But, thanks be to God" he adds,
the dawn of resurrection for Poland
is finally breaking. We raise our most
ardent prayers that, soon having re-
gained her full independence, she may
again take her place in the comfy of
nations continuing her history as a
civilized Christian nation.
"Contemporaneously we wish that
| all other nationalities, even if non.
Catholic, that were once subject to
Russia may decide their own fate, de-
veloping and prospecting their conf
dence and love for Poland"

RECTOR OF MAYNOOTH

cAFFREY SUCCEEDS HIM-coL-
LECTION OF DATA ABOUT IRISH
MARTYRS.

The week was an eventful one in
Erin, for it also saw the annual meet
ing of the Irish Bishops at May
nooth. They have issued some not
able announcements. They have de-
cided that Septuagesima Sunday next
year shall be set aside for a collec-
ton throughout Ireland for the. pur-
pose of defraying the expenses of the
apostolic process of the Irish martyrs
and the ceremony OF Identification of
Blessed Oliver Plunkett There are
258 martyrs, including primates,
archbishops, bishops, priests, secular
and regular, and members of the laity.
Many thousands of documents and
many columns of printed matter have
to be transcribed in libraries and
museums in all parts of Europe. The
Bishops point out, however, that al
ready the work has yielded evidence
of the martyrdom of many, of whose
sacrifice no historical record previous
ly was known to exist. The work,
when completed, will be monumen-
tai one, valuable to students of Irish
history and to the various dioceses.
It is. estimated, however. that it will
cost at least $4,000 and the Bishops
appeal to priests and people to give
with their usual generosity.
The annual meeting at Maynooth
was saddened by the resignation OF

Victory Boys and Girls: The Catho-
lie schools of Minneapolis we're well
represented at the first meeting of the
school boys and girls of the city who
have been selected to serve as officers
in the army of Victory Boys and Vic
tory Girls. The meeting was held
Tuesday afternoon at four o'clock in
the Builders Exchange. Boys and
girls who had been selected to organ
ize their respective schools were pres
ent to have the details of organization
made clear to them. Reverend John
Pilger attended the meeting to get
better acquainted with the boys and
girls who are to be his aids in the
coming campaign. The private schools
are to organize and report separately
from the public schools. Each of the
parochial schools will have its own
colonel for the boys and one for the
girls. The colonel will have as help
ers major and enough captains to
canvass the entire school. Each child
over twelve years will be required to
earn $500 within one year in order to
be entitled to the badge and button of
honor, and to place their school in the
100 per cent class. A wholesome en-
thusiasm has already gripped our
Catholic boys and girls.
