Clay had brought Kitty home about
midnight, had mixed a drink for her,
and had given her his own clothes to

| as she had done through sleepless
! night. She had given him SO much,
and he had seemed to give her even
| more. Hours filled with a keen-edged
| delight jumped to her memory, hours
that had carried her away from the
falseness Of social fribble to clean,
wind-swept, open spaces Of the mind.
And after this-after he had tacitly
recognized her claim on him-he had
| insulted her before her friends by de
serting his guests to go off with this
hussy he had been spending weeks to
| search for.
Not for q moment Gid she admit,
perhaps she did not know, that an in
sane jealousy was flooding her being,
that her indignation was based on per-
sonal as well as moral grounds. Some
| thing primitive stirred her-a flare Of
feminine ferocity. She felt hot to the
| touch, an active volcano ready for
eruption. If only she could get a
chance to strike back In way that
would hurt, to wound him as deeply as
he had her!
Pat to her desire came the oppor-
tunity. Clay's card was brought in
! to her by Jenkins.
'Tell Mr. Lindsay I'll see him in a
few minutes" she told the man.

Coblenz.-Overseas casualty detach-

of occupation left last night for Bre-

New York. The detachment comprises
about so men, being the first of any
size to leave since June and the first
not containing any wal brides or chill
dren. Hundreds Of Germans and Allied
civilians came to bid the Americans
goodbye. Eleven prisoners are being
sent back with the party for confine-

Decline Of Press.

Vienna.-The position Of the Catho-
lie press In Austria and Germany -
extremely alarming to those who wish
to see 1t survive. For years the Catho-
lie papers in these countries have de-
Tended themselves in times Of economic
distress, but now symptoms Of exhaus-
ton have made themselves apparent.
In Germany where lao newspapers
of all kinds suspended publication dur
ing the last month a large number Of
Catholic papers were included in the
list of those discontinued and Austria
lis following along this line. During the
past few weeks, two Catholic dailies in.
Vienna were forced to discontinue. One
of them has been in existence for thir-
5ty-four years and has rendered Inn
portant services to the Christian cause
under the Catholic Mayor of Vienna,
DIR. Karl Lueger. OF the four Catholic
daily papers published in Vienna a few
years ago only the "Reichspost," the,
daily central publication Of the Aus.
trian Catholics, and another family
daily of no great Importance, remain.
The causes of this critical situation
are the great increases in wages and
the excessive prices Of raw materials.
"A kilogram of paper costing % hellers
in 1914, now costs $3.50 kronen, that
is, seventeen thousand times the pre-
war price. This is altogether out of
proportion to the prices which the i'm
poverished people are able to pay for
the paper. Conditions in Germany are
quite similar. And still the prices of
raw materials are increasing month by
month. Many priests, teachers, and
public officials already are unable to.
continue their subscriptions to CathO-
lie public atoms and thus the Catholic
press is robbed of thousands of its
most faithful subscribers. The dangers
arising from this condition are great.
Many Catholics lose contact with pub
lie affairs and are deprived of the nee
essary Information to defend{the Cath
olic cause. While Socialist opponents
are directing more and more violent
charges against the Catholic school
and the Christian family, large num-
bers of the Catholic people are forced
to forego their most important weapon
in this fight, the Catholic press. In
the same degree as the progress made
by the Catholic movement, particular
ly in Austria, during the past few years
was encouraging, the situation now is
distressing, menacing the spiritual
life of the nation and the public posi-
ton of Catholics.
If the Catholic press continues to-
sustain reverses the public influence
Of Catholics and Catholic associations
in the country will have to stand
great losses. Heroic efforts are being
made by Catholic publishers to keep
up their position, but even the best
established of them are beginning to
