OFFICER TELLS
HOW KITCHENER DIED
SHIP STRUCK MINE in TERRIBLE
STORM AND SUNK WITHIN
FIVE MINUTES

LONDON.-(Correspondence of tn,
Associated Press)-Lord Kitchene,
and his staff did not even reach thu
deck of the British cruiser Hampshire
after she struck a mine off the coas
of Scotland one stormy night in June
1916, according to a warrant officer
who has just told the story of the sink
ing to a correspondent of the Man
chester Guardian.
Questions concerning the sinking OF
the Hampshire have been asked in
parliament because of the persistent
rumor that the vessel had been sunk
by a submarine and Lord Kitchener
had been carried off a prisoner to
Germany. No detailed statement,
however, has ever been officially CIV
en- out. The name of the officer who
now tells the story has not been dis
closed.
Four days after the Jutland bat
tie, according to the officer, the Hamp-
shire took Lord Kitchener aboard on
June 5, and set out with about 800
persons on board in ''the foulest
weather known in that region" She
was escorted by two destroyers who
were unable to face the storm and re-
turned to port. Everything on board
the Hampshire was dashed down, and
only one hatchway was left open.
About 8 o'clock in the evening the
ship was shaken by a terrific explos-
ion and the crew scrambled for the
deck. Officers quickly took their
posts, but their orders could not be
heard because of the raging storm
and the terrific sound of escaping
steam. Immediately after the explos-
ion there was another and all lights
went out, which added to the confus-
ion.
The officer, with a companion, cut
the lashings Of a life-raft, it being i'm
possible to launch the boats in the
sea, and the raft was slipped
over the side. 1t turned upside down,
but finally righted and he with others
found themselves af1oat. Almost i'm
.mediately the ship went down, not
more than five minutes after the first
explosion. The officer did not see Lord
on deck, and it is his opin-
on that as only one %hatchway was
open, the only men who reached the
leck were those who went that way.
Although much confused, he recalls
rying to open a number of other
latchways while trying to reach the
leck and found them all battened
Iown.
The raft drifted width the gale for
i've hours, during which time many
f the men were washed from the
aft, while others died and rolled in j
the net in the center. The raft I
yas then tossed through an opening s
a rocky reef and beached on an 6
,land. {
The officer scoffed at the sugges- S
that Lord Kitchener had been1 t
aved, and was quite sure the Hamp- |
hire had been mined and not tor- |

order against soldiers mixing with

you would think you were going down

dress about the same. Their stores
are about the same as in the States.

POSSES TO SAVE GIRL
FROM BANDIT BAND
Outlaws Holding Maid Abduct-
ed Ten Days Ago.

Bluefeld, w. Va, Aug. 1.-Heavily
armed posses were gathering in the
northern section of Mercer county for
an expedition into the hills to cap
ture or exterminate a band Of Blue
Ridge outlaws who are holding cap
tive the fourteen-year-old daughter
of Kennan Abshire, of Camp Greek.
Several hundred men headed by the
sheriffs of Mercer and Raleigh coun-
ties, will make up he posses.
The outlaws are said to be headed
by Manderville Farley, who, it is as
serted, is a deserter from the army.
He has at least a dozen men with
him. They carry long-range rifles and
are expert shots, it is said.
Farley, who is said to have lured
the girl away from her fathers cabin
home upon the promise that he would
take her to Bristol, Va, and marry
her, is believed to have been seriously
wounded in a fight with the girls
father.
While searching the mountain trails
for his daughter, the father came
suddenly upon Farley and the girl.
Farley was shot when he refused to
surrender. A portion of his face was
torn away and Abshire, believing Far
ley dead, took his daughter and start
ed for home.
Soon afterward a volley of shots
came and one grazed Abshire's head.
Wounded, he told his daughter to run,
but if recaptured to say he had been
killed. She was captured by the out
laws, but her father, under cover of
night, made his escape. The girl has
low been a captive ten days

RAIlWAYMEN WANT
LIVING COST CUT
Ask Government Action to Avert
New Wage Demands

Washington, Aug. 1.-Warren S.
Stone, grand chief, and members of
the advisory board of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, have asked
governmental action to lower living
costs.
Demand by the enginemen for an
! other increase in wages was the al
Tentative presented in a statement to
President Wilson.
William G. Lee, president of the
brotherhood of Railway Trainnen,
announced that unless the railroad
administration had taken action by
October l on the demands OF tie
brotherhood that wages OF the naln-
men either be increased or the cost
of living reduced, steps looking 20 the
enforcement of the demands would be
| taken.
Mr.. Lee said a resolution contain
ing his declaration, which had been
adopted by the special committee OF
sixteen appointed at the recent con-
ventioin of the trainmen at Columbus,
Ohio, would be sent to the railroad
administration.
The resolution provided that in the
absence Of action by October 1 the
committee would reconvene to CO
slider "the necessity for using tie
protective features Of the brother
hood"
Mr. Lee made public an abstract of
the report of hearings recently held
by the board of railroad wages, on
the trainmen's demands at which he
declared an "upheaval" was nearer in
this country than ever before due to
the unrest arising from mounting liv-
ing costs.
The railroad and government de-
partments had better be assisting ''to
crush profiteering" by the packers
and other industries" he said, than
shouting across the table at each
other" at hearings to consider still
further increases.

POLISH SEMINARY RESTORED
INSTITUTION AT JANOW FOR
TRAINING PRIESTS is RE-
OPENED.

The Church is rapidly recovering in
the former Russian provinces of Pc
land In the year 1867 the Russians
suppressed the Catholic Diocese OF
Podlachia, with the Episcopal seat al
Janow, and interned the Bishop in a
monastery. But since Poland has re
covered it's independence the former
seminary for priests at JanoW, which
was forcibly closed, has been re-
opened, and already there are forty.
nine students attending the course,
which is siX-year one.
The opening of the seminary began
with a Solemn Mass at the Cathedral,
at the gates of which the former gov
iernment frequently knouted the Uni
,ates. The Mass was celebrated by
Bishop Pozezdziecki, and a large gath
ering of clergy was assembled in the
choir. The decree of foundation was
read by Bishop Sokolowski. The
Papal and Polish flags were flown on
the buildings Of the seminary
Among those who attended the exer-
cises was Professor, the Rev. DR..
Pruzkowski the sole survivor of the
old faculty that was suppressed by
the Russians.

ROMAN CONCORDATS
INTERESTING NEW BOOKS FROM
VATICAN PRESS.

A good deal of notice is being taken
Of the collection of concordats on mat
tiers ecclesiastical between the Holy
See and civil powers from the year
1898 to the year 1914. This is
the only complete collection the pub
lie has got so far Of course Nussi
gave US an edition in 1859, and in the
reign of Leo XIII, larger collection
was published. But while the former
omitted many important concordats
(such as the peace of 1892 between
Pope Innocent VIII and Ferdinand,
King of Naples), the latter did not
give the bi-lingual texts.
This present collection gives, the BIZ
lingual texts Of each concordat so that
Latin, Italian, German, French, Portu-
guese, Spanish, and English will figure
in it.
Another interesting publication from
the Vatican printing press is the In
deX of Forbidden Books in Latin, edit
ed by order of Benedict XIV.

UPBU|LD|NG A DIOCESE
BISHOP WALSH OF TRENTON, NJ.
j., INACCURATE NOVEL
PLAN.

A great step forward was taken by
the Diocese of Trenton the past month
under the guidance of it's Bishop,
Right Rev. Thomas J. Walsh.
At the conference of the clergy,
held in Trenton, it was resolved to
raise annually by taxation on the par
ishes the sum Of $4,000 to $4,000 to
be used in mission work within the
diocese.
1t is easy to appreciate the impor-
lance of the movement which Bishop
Walsh has inaugurated. The pros
perity of the Catholic parishes in the
cities and towns of the Diocese of
Trenton will overflow on the weaker
and poorer parishes. From the fund
which will be raised, priests will be
supplied and churches built, SO that
every Catholic in the diocese will be
in reach of church and in touch with
his priest. A network of Catholic &C.
tivity will be spread over the diocese
Priests will go out to the most distant
and neglected portions bringing the
consultations of religion and instruct
ing the children, so that they may
grow up staunch Catholics.

Avares destroyed the original founda-

Gates that the second foundation is
due to Carl Martell who had cloister
and three churches erected on the
spot. Numerous donations were the
means CT giving the monastery consid-
cradle power and influence, but the
foundation had to undergo hard times
during the Reformation, and again in
the year 1893, when the French set
the village and the convent on fire.
The valuable library and collection of
documents were destroyed on that oc-
caSion. Misfortune seemed to pursue
the monastery, for no sooner was it
reconstructed, when it again became
the prey Of a fire for the third time,
in 1916. But the foundation bloomed
up a fourth time and is today one Of
