Catholic Leaders Urqe
Postwar Decision on
Military Training

Having voiced opposition to "im-
mediate passage" OF legislation for
compulsory military training of all
male youths, the Catholic ARCH
bishops and bishops Of the United
States continued their annual gen.
eral meeting today at Catholic Uni
versity. Presiding was the Most
Rev. Michael j. Curley, Archbishop
Of Baltimore and Washington.
Several matters Of Importance
were understood to be under con-
sideration by the hierarchy, with
further pronouncements expected
within the next day or two.
Mentioning particularly the Wads-
worth -Gurney and May military
training bills now before Congress,
the resolution on military training
outlined three basic objections:
This problem should not be
settled until after the end of the
war, and we know what the inter.
national situation shall be;
Want veterans' Views.
Those now serving in the Army
and Navy should be given an ,op-
portunity to express their views on
this measure before it is enacted:
Military requirements until the
end Of the war can be met by the
extension Of the Selective Service
Act"
Archbishop McNicholas Speaks.
The 25th anniversary of estab-
!ishment Of the National Catholic
Welfare Conference, with head
quarters here, was memorialized in
an address yesterday by Archbishop
John T. McNicholas Of Cincinnati.
The conference" he said, has
brought our bishops. priests, and
laity In closer contact with the Holy
See and has given them deeper in
sight into the apostolic and univer-
sal mission Of the church."
he bishop also adopted a resolu-
tq expressing coQeesn "for the
fate OF religion aihong their fellow
Christians In Poland, the Baltic
states and neighboring Catholic
lands"
To the people Of those lands. the
bishops extended deep sympathy
with the prayerful hope that the
strong, victorious nations in charity
and justice will give them succor in
their suferings and the full enjoy-
ment Of their indisputable rights
both civil and religious.

$50 Entries Expected il Bird Show

Brnl1ance IN color achieved after.
years Of careful breeding and cross-
breeding will be overshadoWed only
by the symphony Of golden -throated|
songsters when the National Cap-
ital Canary Club opens its 10th
annual Grand National Bird Show
tomorrow ct Odd Fellowg Temple
40 Seventh street NV.
More than $50 birds, representing
more than 100 classes, including all
types Of canaries, parakeets, par
rots, doves and Wild birds are ex-
pected to be entered, Mrs. Clara
Mahoney, show secretary, predicted
today.
Most interesting to canary fan
cierA will be the various types of
hybrids, Mrs. Mahoney said. The
owner Of more than 800 birds, Mrs.
Mahoney explained that brilliance
In many colors, pure coloring and
singing achievements could be bred
into canaries.
You can feed color into birds or
breed 1t into them," the secretary
asserted. "The breeding method
Is much better. although q slower
process"
Typical example Of the cross
breeding was described by Mrs. Ma
honey as the product of crossing
the South American siskin, q color
full wild bird with unusual singing
abilities, with the American canary.
This cross produces . hybrid of ex-
|ceptional beauty known as the red
copper, she explained. After or 8
years of careful and patient cross
breeding clear orange bird Is
produced, the copper of the siskin
blending into the yellow of the
canary.
Contrary to the once popular be-
lief that only pure-bred canaries
are successful as singers. Mrs. Ma
honey declared that the hybrids pro-
duced by crossing the siskin and
the canary were excellent singers
with voices Of unusual quality and
tone.
Canary raising and breeding is
q hobby that pays" Mrs. Mahoney
declared In describing the enthu-
siasm Of hundreds of canary
fanciers throughout the country.
You usually start with . few birds
just Tor the love Of the hobby and
their beauty. Then gradually you
increase until you quit your Job and
devote all your time to birds"
When the judging starts tomor-
row prize birds from five States and
the District Of Columbia will be
competing for the various awards.

from Kentucky, Virginia, pennsyl-
vanta and New York. A few entries

Hancock Remains
Debt Free

Hancock was one of 18 Ohio coun-
ties having no net debt at the end
of the 1912 fiscal year, State Audi
tor Joseph t. Ferguson disclosed
in his annual report on county fiscal
operation for the year.
The county remained debt free at
the close of the past year, Charles
(. Simpson, Hancock county auditor
said, recently.
In his report Ferguson said that
operating expenses in the states S8
counties dropped to 25-year low
of $74,953,236 in 1912 despite war
occasioned price increases.
The decrease in 1912 county op-
Grating expenses, Ferguson said, was
due primarily to drop in highway
construction and maintenance be-
cause of inability to obtain priorities
and lowered relief costs as a result
of wartime employment.
