accounting OF their numerical re-
sources. During the unprecedented
rush OF war work they have had little
time to reflect on what their orGaniZa-

they have been too busy In handling
the direction ana ramifcation OF what
their organization does practically
Now. in the great rush to do recon-
struction work, in the launching of
vast programs and the advertising of
immense ideas. the Knights have set
their teeth into the crux of the prob

ment. and with this result: They can
show the world a division and sub
division of machinery and general dis
tribution of functions and amalgama-
srion or energies that is almost philo-
sophical in its simplicity. 1t is a most
promising sign that in Catholic social
activities the selection OF specialists
is becoming more and more the rule.
The dovetailing of functions of the
different subdivisions of government
in the society is perfect.
In addition to the powerful ma
chinery which has been in operation
since the signing Of the armisticc there
are the supreme council OF the

That as thousands of soldiers were
subject to needless hardships and
privations by the unjustly heavy fines

sary action to see that these fines for
petty offenses should be promptly re-
paid to the honorably discharged
soldiers sailors and marines, Legis-
/ lation should also be enacted TO review
all court martial finding with a view
that justice may be done
