very large number Of cars are out of

cars in need Of repairs. In the south
west less than ten per cent Of the
box cars on hand are fit for grain

mains out of service on the repair

Asked as to the probable require
ments for cars to move the grain
crop this year in the Panhandle
Plains district. Mr.. Parker said: THE
Santa Fe is business institution

ness life Of every community IT serves.
The road is therefore keeping in close

tation. This is particularly true in

Box CAR SITUATION Is
IMPROVING SLIGHTLY

Improvement" said X. J. Parker. gen
eTal manager u western lines Of the
Santa he Railway. when asked about
the car situation this morning. Mr..
Parker considers conditions grave and
that they can only be met by the
corporation Of all interests.
The car shortage In nation wide"
continued Mr. Parker. "The Inter-
state Commerce Commission esti-
mates that the initimum and imme-
dlate needs are 100000 more freight
ears. The country has advanced and
produces more freight than ever be
fore. But the railroads on the other
hand have been unable to make ma
terial addition 70 their equipment
since before the war The 100. 900
freight cars built for the L. S. rail
road administration hardly replaced
the cars that became worn out and
were retired during the period Of Fed
era control. Even the roads that have
the money, have had to wait for de-
livery Of equipment ordered.
1.-The shortage Of cars" said Mr.
Parker, "has been intensified by la
Dor troubles at ports and terminals
and by shortage of shipping. Cars
choke terminals, waiting to be un-
loaded Long strings of cars under

cipal ports. Every effort is now be

when ready for market and for that
purpose store cars. This year there
have been no cars 10 store Ia meet the
needs FOR moving the new wheat
crop.
''Thc traffic department" continu-
ed Mr.. Parker, estimates that the

mains nearly 5000 cars Of the 1919
grain crop TO be moved, including
kafr and other grains. OF this prob
ably 1000 cars are stored in eleva-
tors and 1000 cars still held on the
farms.
"A year ago the road had several
thousand cars in storage at the time
the wheat crop was ready to move"
said Mr.. Parker This year we not
only have no cars in storage. but are
behind on cars for movement of last

only such cars will be available as are
allotted by the car service cemmis-

INDlA's SUFFERERS.

Bishop Faisandier, S. j., of Trich-
inopoly, India, is in receipt of many
letters from the priests of his diocese
containing a relation of their numer-
Gus and pressing needs and beseech,
ing him to give them help.
India is badly affected by the high
rate in exchange as money from Eu'
rope has now less than half it's val
ue; even if aims are sent from Eu.
ropean benefactors, the result is neg
ligible, so that all eyes in India Gas
elsewhere) are turned toward Amer
ica-rich and generous America.
India is the land of the wretched
pariah, of so-called criminal tribes and
many other castles living from hand to
mouth, and though loving their spirit
ual fathers and anxious to have chap
els in which to pray, they are unable
to give material help to their priests
There is in fact no more appalling
poverty in the world than is found in
India, so her plea for aims should be
heard.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1920-09-11
LET THERE BE MORE AFRICAN
PRIESTS.

America can decide the fate of the
missions. Appeals, special and gen:
eral, are made to her spirit of benev-
olence from every part of the world
Of the former is the plea coming from
Rev. M. Lahorgue, S. j., in behalf of
grand seminary in Madagascar
Africa
Responding to the needs of the Ca.
tholics and to the desires of the Holy
Father, Jesuit missionaries founded a
college in this island for the purpose
of educating natives for the priest
hood. This college is the joy of Cath
olics in Madagascar, for it has every
hope of furnishing a sufficient mum
Der of missionaries to spread the
Faith in the region.
Already eleven young students have
finished the course in philosophy. Now
they should, begin their theology, but
this next step cannot be taken by the
Superior because he has no funds, mol
even books. Must the class be aban
doned and these eleven young men re
fused entrance to the priesthood?
The thought is appalling and grace
from on High will doubtless inspire
some persons to come forward witt
funds for a grand seminary in Tanan
arrive. The expense is only moderate
and could be met by few generous
offerings.

AN URGENT APPEAL.

We publish here below letter we
have received from Father Pavageau
of Gyobingauk. 1t is an appeal to the
charity of the public on behalf of his
Mission. The paddy crop has been
failure and the Rev. Father instead
Of obtaining the usual assistance he re-
ceived from his Christians will have
to assist them in their needs. An
other appeal has also reached us from
the District of Henzada as in both the
Districts of Prone and Henzada with
out mentioning Tharrawaddy, the
paddy did not come to maturity owing
to the absence of rain in September
and October. Father Pavageau
writes:
"Never hitherto have I appealed to
the charity of the public. During the
twenty-five years of my ministry in
Gyobingauk it often befell me to find
myself in very straitened financial cir
cumstances, yet, God be praised, | al
ways managed to make ends meet
even, when thanks to the war, our
allowances from Europe had been sup
pressed or very considerably dimin.
ished; the subscriptions made locally
enabling me- to forge ahead. Today,
however, to the cessation of funds

from Europe is added the almost COM
plete failure of the crops in my Mis-
sion. l can look for no help locally
for grim Famine looms dark and
threatening on our horizon. In such
tn extremity, and not knowing what
Saint to invoke, God has inspired me
with the idea of appealing, through
you, to those generous souls His Di-
vine Providence has endowed with the
goods of this world: My appeal is
chiefly on behalf of my poor little
children. Their plight wrings my
very heart. 1 have close on a hun
dred of Christ's little ones, who, in the
shadow of the church and under the
Eye of the Divine Master, learn the
lowing the program of studies as out
lined by the Government. These chill
dren are all orphans or are sprung
from very poor parents SO that |. may
say they are wholly dependent on me.
Not only have | to feed them, but to
clothe them, and provide all their
school necessaries not to mention
medical care and remedies in cases of
illness. 1t was my annual custom to
traverse the villages at harvest time
and collect sufficient for their support
This year it is goodbye" to harvest
ing. The poor paddy farmers will
scarcely reap sufficient to keep their
own souls and bodies together My
circuit of my parish revealed the dis
tressful fact that there is no corner
in it towards which 1 can look for
help. What is to become of my poor
little ones? For their sake l hope
the charitable souls who may read
these lines will freely open their
