house has helped greatly in solving
this problem. Here they are furnish
ed comfortable quarters and nutri-
tious food at a very low cost. Recrea-
ton and study halls are provided, and
many advantages are being taken of
the various opportunities offered in
this splendid work.
Plans are being made for extending
the work of the Council into Poland
and Italy where, owing to peculiar
national conditions, social service is
needed
Work Highly Commended.
The admirable work of the National
Catholic War Council has been highly
commended by the most representa-
tive military and civil authorities, on
both sides of the Atlantic. Pope Ben
edict XIV has praised and blessed its
worthy accomplishments. The yigor-
Gus, upright policy in the entire exc
cution of it's program has strengthen
ed the bond of international friend
ship and has developed a sincere en-
tente cordiale. So splendid have been
the European activities of welfare and
reconstruction, that it becomes diff
cult to eulogize fittingly the success of
the overseas forces of the National
Catholic War Council of America.

forms of typhus, ~dysentery, tubercu-

going back to find the gold which was
buried because the men valued their
lives more than the precious ore the
weight of which impeded their prog

Describing the fight, Mathis said:
1.-TWO of us slept. while the third
stood guard. Before daylight the
guard awakened us to hear the hoof-
beats of approaching horses. Soon
three horsemen rode through the
chapparal and we could distinguish
the high pointed hats of the bandits.
We wasted no time in challenging, but
Immediately opened fire. Two of the
men fell from heir horses. The third
tried to escape, but he tumbled head

Dam to near the boundary is also need
ed to furnish electric power to operate
the machinery used III making the cam
al excavation through the sand hills.
Unless electric power is provided, this
will cost more than our estimate.
While the sand hill excavation is be-
ing made and until it is finished the
Imperial valley will have to get its
water through the Mexican cana and
that requires some kind of an agree
ment with Mexico. The present con-
tract, with all of it's unfairness will
have to be lived up to for that time, or
there is danger that the Imperial val
ley will be without water.
Furthermore, during this time and
for all future time, the levees must be
maintained and that means some kind
of an understanding with Mexico. The
effort to secure this should go on with
the construction of the all-American

ble to reach satisfactory understand

failure, the position of this country
