SEEK SUPPORT IN AMERICA.
For Roman Catholic University Located
In Lille, France.

Paris, June 1.-THE bishops of north.
ern France have sent the Able Ernest
Dimnet, of the Stanislas college, Paris,
on a mission to the United States to
secure financial support for the Roman
Catholic university of Lille.
The alma mater Of Lille is very pro-
gressive seat of learning with almost
American tendencies; but the rich manu-.
facturers Of that region, who were liberal
patrons of the institution, have all been
impoverished or ruined by the war.

On the front axle and steering me-

knows. or should know, that a grease
