AMBASSADOR.

Increased disqualification work for
disabled men and educational work
for all classes of veterans was decided
on by the supreme board of directors
of the Knights of Columbus at a meet
ing in Washington last week The K
of c. were informed by a committee
of the American Legion that the Le-
gion would accept the K. of c.. offer of
a $5,000,000 building if the offer had
been changed as it stood. The K. of
G.. board informed the Legion that
at a meeting of the board in New
York last January, at which National
Commander F. w. Galbraith was pres
ent, the X. of C. executive body had
voted to make no changes in it's orig
inal offer. This position was re-
affirmed.
1t was announced that the K. of C.
was ready to extend it's program of
disqualification work for disabled serv-
ice men. 'The peak of hospitaliza-

THIRTY-sIxTH ANNUAL coNvEN
TON TO BE HELD IN MAY.

The Alumni Association of the
American College, Rome, Italy, will
hold their annual reunion in Chicago
this year, meeting at the Congress Ho.
tel, May IL and II.
The May convention will be the
thirty-siXth annual reunion of sthe or
ganization. All of the members are
priests, who have made their studies
at the North American College in
Rome. When, in 1885, the alumni met
for the first time in New York for
organization, they were literally only
a handful, inasmuch as their numbers
could be counted on ones finger tips.
But the list has gradually heightened,
until now it registers over six hun
dred, scattered through every state in
the union, in the Philippine Islands
and, next year, it will be represented
in the mission fields of China in the
person of Reverend Paul Brennan of
Chicago, who is now preparing at
Maryknoll.

(By N. C. w. G. News Service.)
Catholics of Georgia gave to the
American forces during the world war
18 per cent more men than their quota
according to population. This fact is
revealed in a careful tabulation which
d. j. Ryan, Director of the Historical
Records Department of the National
Catholic Welfare Council, has just
made of the statistics gathered from
twenty of the twenty-three parishes of
the state. Complete records, it is ex-
pected, will improve the showing.
Official figures from the War De-
partment credit Georgia with having
furnished total of 102,7S6 men to
the various branches of the military
and naval service. OF this number,
according to the information received
by the Historical Records Depart
ment, S55 were Catholics The feder.

A notable step forward in the CO.
ordination of the work of Catholic aid
and protection of the thousands of
future Americans who pour through
the port of New York each year has
been taken by His Grace, the Arch
bishop of New York, by the coordina-
tion of the societies caring for Cath
olic immigrants and by his approval
of the appointment of director for
this work from the National Catholic
Welfare Council.
The representative of the N. G.. w.
c. Department of Immigration is
Thomas F. Mulholland, who will work
under the authorities of the New York
archdiocese.
Beyond the immediate local care Of
the immigrants, it is necessary both
for active cooperation with the FEEDER.
al Government and the Catholic care
of these immigrants in the To-
calities to which they go. that there
be national clearing house for Cath
olics and for all Catholic activities in
this field.
This is the principal assistance that
the National Catholic Welfare Coun-
Gil will give to the Catholic agencies
that have labored so strenuously for
many decades in New York. The
agent of the National Catholic We'll
fare Council will be able to provide
for the care Of the immigrants to the
places of their destination, and to con-
tinue this care after their arrival
through the Catholic Organizations
The Catholic Welfare Council has
also sent an agent to Europe, who
will take up the work of caring for
emigrants at the ports of embarkation
there, particularly Genoa, Warsaw,
Danzig, and other great centers.
These emigrants will be supplied
with literature, such as the N. c.. w.
C. Civics Catechism, printed in their
own language, and that of the coun-
try in which they will make their new
homes.

LA Rue Casey" For French the
sound is strangely familiar If, in

stand. You'll hop in the car and be
whirled through, about, around, in be-
tween and all over the stuffed streets
Of Paris, out under the grinding
wheels of Lemartine and Faubourg
st. Antoine busses, out of the city
gates, on, on to the ancient city of
Meaux, where the taxi driver would
make you pause while he refreshed
himself with vim blanc or cognac pre-
cisely at his fares expense.
After Meaux, you would proceed at
catapultic speed on your way over the
|stately-treed roads that bore the clat-
tering trucks of the American marines
three years ago until you found two
little towns nesting at the feet OF
two separate hills where brave men
fought and died. One little town is
called Bouresches and the other is
called Belleau, and through both runs
main street-Rue des Chevaliers de
Colombs, street of the Knights of Co.

honor of the K. of c. war work and

would be at home, for America and

ulation in 1918, as compiled for the Of
ticial Catholic directory, prepared in
the autumn of 1913 and published in
1919, was 19,4O0.
Had the Catholics furnished but
723 men to the service, they would
have contributed their just proportion,
according to these figures. Instead,
they gave total of 855 mer, and the
returns thus far are admittedly in
complete Forty-three of these Cath
olic soldiers lost their lives in the
conflict
In addition to contributing to the
ranks of the army and navy the Cath
Olics of Georgia were generous in their
financial support of the government
and the different welfare and civic or
ganizations which had a part in serV-
ing the men in uniform.
1t is recorded by the Historical Rec
ords Department, which is making an
exhaustive compilation and an anal

Catholics represented about one-third
of the total armed forces of the Unit
ed States, and that approximately 20
per cent of the men who died in the
service were of the Catholic faith.
