FATHER McGRATH.

The clergy and people of the Holy
Name parish were overjoyed when
| they learned that the Very Rev. Pro-
vincial of the Society of Mary in
| America appointed Father McGrath
to Algiers. Father McGrath has once
again donned civilian clothes and is
ready for parochial work.
The new assistant is not a stranger.
During his six years residence at JEFF
ferson College, Convent, La, where
he laugh Philosophy and Higher
Mathematics, he always found means
OF spending few days in Algiers dur
ing the Christmas and summer vaca-
tions.
Shortly after America entered the
war, Father McGrath's patriotism and
enthusiasm for the cause of the AL
lies almost reached the swapping
point. Almost a year ago he sought
and obtained a commission as a chap
lain in the United States Army.
For six months he was at the "seige"
of Fort Crockett, Texas. He was just
about to go overseas with battalion
of Coast Artillery when he was halted
by the signing of the armistice
Father McGrath's appointment had
been expected for some time. How
ever like the semi-annual pew rent
it was little late in coming but
nevertheless was just as welcome.

SUNKEN SHIPS
TO Be SALVAGED
Million Tons of Coal at Bot.
tom Of Long Island
Sound.

Bridgeport Conn. July 6-It has
Just been ascertained that Loo, 90
tons of coal lie at the bottom of
Long Island Sound within $50 feet
of the surface of the water. The
salvaging Of this fuel will be de-
veloped on a large scale as q great
economic industry.
This statement from Bridgeport fol-
lows the announcement of the United
States Government that the nation
faces a critical coal shortage Re-
claiming the tons OF fuel now on the
bottom OF the sea- it is affirmed, WIN
aid materially in the present crisis.
The Government has just stated
that coal production has fallen or
to an alarming extent Estimates
given out officially state that require
ments for the year are fully $50. .00o.-
oo0 tons. The production of $4,000
600 tons will be required to make up
the deficiency. Only 1e5. ooo. 600 tons or
this amount were produced from
January to June Il. 1919. making the
quantity necessary to be produced
during the remainder of the year
$50. .00o. 900 tons. The average weekly
production for the first twenty-four
weeks Of the year was only S.1,s. 600
tons. To meet the required amount,
the average tonnage which must b.
produced weekly for the rest OF the
present year must be Io.9o0.ooo
The national shortage Of coal finds
part of its answer. according to the
announcement from Bridgeport, in
Long Island Sound and in the long
line Of sunken coal wrecks that edge
the Atlantic coast from Boston Har-
Dor to Norfolk Marine experts char
acterize this coast line as "ShippinEs
greatest graveyard in the United
States"
Thirty thousand tons OF coal went
to the bottom OF ong Island Sound in
one week last winter. An enormous
tonnage is represented in the wrecks
listed for years past Salvaging sub
marine coal promises TO be one Of the
big after-war industries. [ will fnau.
