sands of requests for housing ace comdations have poured In upon the committee.
 Speaking on the floor of the House three weeks ago, Rep. Richard F Gale oS Minnesota, called the at- tention of that assembly to this great Catholic gathering, We quote e portion of his remarks from the Congressional Record,
 MT. Speaker, worldwide atten- tlons will be focused on the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul during the Ninth National Eucharistic Congress, June 2e to 26, l04i, The central figure of that assembly will be the papal legate to be appointed by His Holiness Pope Plus XII as his per- eonal representative.
 | "A total of i30 bishops and arch- bishops and ten abbots already have accepted the invitation of Archbi- shop John Gregory Murray of St. Paul, to attend the national con- Gress. Ninety-five of the archbi- shops and bishops will come from points in the United States, 10 from Canada, 8 from Mexico and one each from China and Jamaica. More than 160000 persons outside the dio- cese of St. Paul are expected to tourney to the Congress to join the SO0,O00 catholics within the diocese" wDuring these days the Catholics of 0ur land proclaim to the world their faith in the Real Presence of the son of God, Jesus Christ, upon the aitArs of their church. On their knees they will adore Him and ask His blessing upon our Country and Its people. They will ask for per- sonal favors but they will not for- get and neither may we forget, to thank God for the blessings Of peace, concord, freedom and pros- ! perity. We must join them in pour ing cut our prayers during these days for the return of all men to the Faith of their fathers and the fastening of the day when Jesus Christ in the Eucharist will be the Lord and Master of every human heart.

Catholic Thought And Opinion
By REV. JOSEPH F. DoNNELLY

There is no war fever In America The propagandlsts have failed. The common people who must be arous. cd want no war. It is they who will fight and die and pay-and they want no war. Despite the frenKied efforts made to prove our American duty of active participation, the American people remain unconvinc- ed and they have little fear of e future in which they will be unable to look Briton in the face without hanging our collective heads in shame"

Shute finished before Wood in

 Another application of the mustache principle, we are in- formed on questionable author ity, is what is known as decep- tive coloration.
 Men with black mustaches will be permitted to attack in flat formations, that is, flat on their stomachs. Their approach will be concealed from the enemy by a combination of mud, grirne and mustache, making for an impen- ertable facade.
 Men with blonde adornments will be used in daylight forays, because of the fact that they are extremely difficult to distinguish in bright sunlight. Red and brown rnustaches will be used in- terchangeably in order to infuri- ate the enemy, thereby leading them into rash and disastrous charges.

Suspected CD

The latest note in ingenious camouhage is an order, emanat- ing from Headquarters Platoon, Company F, 169th Infantry, sta- tioned at Camp Banding, Fla, requiring members of the pla- toon to cultivate patches of hir- sute tracery on the upper lip. In other words-mustaches.
 While no word is forthcoming from headquarters regarding the tactical significance of this ma neuver, it is patently a subter- fuge designed to. baffle the enemy.
 Clusters of shrubbery have suc- cesSfully concealed the presence of big guns in modern blitz-war- fare. Hooded figures in white were invisible against back. ground of ice and snow in the Russian campaign against Fin land. Battleships, destroyers, cruisers and troop conveys have had recourse to camoudage since World War I, and men have always crept behind the skirts of their wives in time of peril.
 This latest development in mil- jtary trickery has merits hitherto without compare. Confronted by the lnustachioed platoon, particu- larly if a skirmish takes place in

 On October 8, 1918, sgt. Alvin c. York. the Tennessee nlountaineer, helped win the First World War with Q olle-man blitzlErieg against the German army. He per- formed the most incredible feat of capturing. practically single handed, an entire German machine. gun battalion that was holding up the American advance in the Arr gone Forest, killing twenty-five of the enemy. taking thtrty-five ma chine guns and bringing in one hundred and thirty-two prisonersl
 That York was nobody's dope was certified to by the German in com nlard of the men York captured @ With all the excitement and detouring to trap the enemy, York lost his bearings on the return trip He prodded the German leader with his revolver and said: Which is the way back to the American lines?" Without turning, the Annex can born Heirie answered: ITO the rigi1tl"
 York felt he was being steered wrong and so he commanded: {: March leftp And left was right.
 When he arrived in New York from France, he received offers to- taling more than half a million dollars from movie and theatrical producers, publishers, newspaper editors and national advertisers {. One offer alone, from the general manager of the New York Herald, was for $10,O00 just to write one story for the paper under his by- line York turned them all down, replying: Uncle Sam's uni- forIn-it ainx for sale."
 Among the many offers was vaudeville contract to appear on the stage with twelve chorus girls at q l.O00 a night. He vetoed it like all the others I'm afraid" he VIII Rogersd, q wouldn't look So good in tights up there with those girls"
 On his return ot the U. S., York was met by q delegation headed by CoEdel Hull, who was then Con- gressional representative from his district. York was driven up Fifth Avenue through paper snowstorm and was given the freedom of the city. Anything was his for the ask ing. In the midst of the ovation, York was asked If there was any thing he'd especially like "Yes," replied the returning hero, T would like to ride on the subway"
 As part of his entertainment in the Big Town, he was taken to the Winter Garden, where he saw 8 typical revue of the period. A reporter. eager to get naive state- meslt from the unsopfisticated nlountaineer about the show, asked him, How do you like the chorus,
