Dominican Sisters of WATERFOWL,
Mass, have been set up in the Chapel
of st. Martin the Centurion, in the
new No. 4 Knights of Columbus build
ing at Camp Devens. The stations are

the Church with the dignified cere-
monies of those rites. A we'll known
prelate will be secured to perform the
ceremonies. Lectures by Senior
Chaplain Conoley, given at the main
K. C. hut, and treating subjects Of
Importance to every soldier, have at
tracted wide attention. These lee

gold thread, warranted never to tar
nish, are two dalmatics and chasu-
ble The colors are unique in their
shading into a soft brown, of hue
never seen in such embroidery in this
country. The work has been done by
little children of China under the di-
rection of nuns who teach them. Mgr.
Tannrath will wear these vestments
only on jubilee occasions. 1t is CO.
incidence that the Old Cathedral is
the only Catholic parish in st. Louis

it's day school. There are two Chi
nese children from the neighborhood.
Mgr. Emile Roy Dead.-The death
of Mgr. Emile Roy, Vicar General of
the Diocese of Montreal and President
of the Central Commission for the
Catholic Schools of that city, gave a
great shock to his many friends and
acquaintance who had been expect
ing his early return from Atlantic
City in restored health. A stroke of
paralysis seized him while preparing
to return and he lived but six hours.
He had been absent in Florida and the
Eastern states for some time. Mgr.
Roy was born in Acadia in 1868 and
made his ecclesiastical studies in
Montreal, being ordained in 1898
After two years of study at Rome he
returned to the seminary as profes.
sor until 1897. For many years he has
been on the staff at the Cathedral
becoming titular canon in 1902 and
later Vicar General of the diocese
His great knowledge of educational
matters drew special attention, and
he was made president Of the central
commission. In his death Montreal
Diocese loses one of the most distin
guished of her clergy.

London Catholic Charities.-The
Westminster Catholic Federation of
London has determined on an ambi-
tious project which has been in the
air for some time and which has the
full approval of Cardinal Bourne. 1t
is nothing less than to take a tenancy
of the large piece of vacant land ad-
joining the Cathedral and to erect
thereon building which shall serve
to house all the Catholic organiza-
tions, social, charitable, ETC., of the
metropolis.
A True Mother.-Lady Sykes, widow
of Sir Mark Sykes, has written to the
president of the Central Hull Con.
sentative Association declining the in
vitation to stand as Coalition candi
date for Central Hull, England, in the
place of her husband. "The upbring
ing of my children and many other
responsible ties, that have now fallen
upon my shoulders alone, are duties
that l must put before all else, and
! that must absorb the greater part OF
my time and interest" says this Cath
Ollie mother.
Appeal to the Pope.-A telegram
from Berlin says: In the name Of
the Conference of German Bishops al
| Fulda, the Archbishop of Cologne
Cardinal Won Hartmann, has addressed
letter to the Pope requesting him
to consider the possibility of shorten
ing the Imprisonment of German cap

in the hearts of many Germans there
is a spirit of bitterness and ever
sinister hate against those who de

Anti-Christian Campaign in Bavaria.
-Adolph Hoffman,, the minister who
tried to commence a new Kulturkampf
in Prussia, found himself baffied by
the resistance he encountered. His
edicts for the abolition of school in
spection on the part of the clergy and
for the Punishment of religion from
the schools came to naught. Another
minister of the same name in Bavaria,
undeterred by his failure, has entered
on a campaign against Christianity in
that state. AS minister of worship he
has issued an order that for the fu-
ture no child in Bavaria shall receive
religious instruction in school or be
compelled to attend religious service.
Henceforth the school syllabus is not
to include religious instruction and the
fulillment of religious duties is not
to be enforced. The regulations, it is
scarcely necessary to say, have
aroused the opposition of the Catholic
authorities, and the atheistic propa-
ganda will be sternly combated. The
majority of the people being Catholics,
they should be able to inflict on Hoff-
mann defeat much as his namesake
has suffered defeat in Prussia.

are now being built and planned.
Modern Structure.
The new bridge is a modern struc-
ture in every sense OF the word. 1t
is LASS feet long over all, the main
part OF the structure being COM
posed of five great spans, weighing
10000 pounds each. There are 81
500 pounds OF steel plate cylinder,
10000 pounds OF reinforcing bars,
$4,000 pounds OF steel anchors at
bottom OF concrete piers, containing
600 yards of concrete. 1t took l2O,-
600 feet OF bridge lumber to floor
the structure. The bridge stands
about IS feet above low water level
and the approaches extend TO high
ground on either side OF the river,
making it very unlikely that high
water will ever interfere with traffic
over the stream.
The cost OF the bridge was 100000.
1t was constructed By the Kansas
City Bridge Company, with +. I.

cnt and Robert jenkins as foreman

ception to the time it was turned
over to the owners. He is an al
fabel and courteous gentleman and
made many friends while here.
The bridge is substantially and
scientifically built throughout, some
of the great concrete piers going
down 40 feet to reach bed rock foun-
dation. 1t is a monument to mans
ingenuity and enterprise and should
prove a great impetus in the coun-
tvs forward movement i'll the mat
ter OF better highways. Oklahoma
will build a permanent highway to
the north end of the bridge and
Cooke county should not delay the
matter of bringing that highway
into Gainesville and extending it on
to the southern line OF the county.
A formal opeing and dedication
OF the new bridge will be held some
time in the near future and will be
marked by appropriate ceremonies,
in which prominent men from both
sides OF the river will participate.
