wear on their way back through
the same awful turmoil to get to

in line to pay for it, we had CLAUS

there was still an hour before de-

people in there we couldn't read
the morning paper without won
dering whether the persons looking
over our shoulders wished to turn
to some other section. We picked
up our bundles and went out be-

Armed Forces. The report is sign
ed by His Eminence Francis Cardi-
nal Spellman, Military Vicar; Bish-
op William r. Arnold, Military
Delegate, and Bishop James H.
Griffiths, Chancellor of the Mill
tary Ordinariate.
"Inasmuch as it is generally con-
ceded that Catholics constitute
about $40 of the Armed Forces, +"
the report said, this would mean
that each year the Catholic Church
in this country has the obligation
of providing for the spiritual well
fare of 1,147,000 military person
mel. Note well that this does not
signify the total priestly and pas
toral obligation of the Catholic
chaplain for in this country and
all over the world Catholic chap
lains must provide spiritually for
the wives and families of thou
sands of officers and enlisted men.
This sends the figure up to more
than 100000 persons.
Spiritual Guides
"If for the moment we leave
aside the dependents and speculate
on the number of ], lat 900 men
and women of military personnel,
it would mean that nearly IL, ,500,.
900 Catholics of the United States
would be affected in the next
decade. Eleven million persons
will be exposed to the dangers Of
military life and could well change
the face of Catholicism in the
United States, if they are spiritu'
ally neglected or at least not ade
quately provided with spiritual
guides"
The report showed that there
we're 999 Catholic chaplains in the
Army, Navy, Air Force and Mer
chant Marine in 1852, as compared
with 5000 Catholic chaplains who
were in the armed services in 1945
at the close of World War II. And
vet, the 999 Catholic chaplains re.
ported 20,172 baptisms in 1852, as
compared with the 1878 baptisms
which nearly three times as many
chaplains were able to report in
1945, and as compared with 14,090
baptisms which 2,517 Catholic
chaplains were able to report IN
1943.

Yugoslav Press Renews
Attacks On The Church

TRIESTE - (RNS) ~ Attacks
upon Msgr. Silvio oddi, charge
d'affaires of the Papal Nunciature
in Belgrade, by the Yugoslav press
and radio we're renewed with
charges that the Vatican repre-
sentative is "meddIing in the coun-
try's internal affairs"
Newspapers reproduced a note
to Bishop Anton Vovk, Apostolic
Administrator of Liubliana, alleg-
edly in Msgr. Oddi's handwriting,
as proof that the latter is "provok-
ing incidents to obtain material for
the Vatican's slanderous propa-
gauda campaign against Yugoslay-
ia.
The note, the newspapers assert
ed, accompanied an order from
Msgr. Oddi instructing Bishop
Vovk to close down the Roman
Catholic theological faculty at the
state university in Liubijana be
cause of present material eondi-
tions."
Aim al Vatican
In the note, the papers said, Ii
was suggested that the bishop act
as best he could on the instruc-
tions, which he should consider
solely as general directive"
The Yugoslav press and radio
charged that Msgr. odd wanted
Bishop Voyk to close down the
faculty, pretending that he was do
ing it on his own authority, in or
der to give new ammunition to the
Vatican's charges of religious per
secution in Yugoslavia" !"
Yugoslav Catholic officials re
ported last February that they had
received an order from the gov
ernment banning their theological
faculties from state universities af'
ter June 80, the end of the aca.
demic year then in progress)
Meanwhile, the Belgrade Radio
reported that "The Initiative Com
mittee of Catholic Clergy in Ser

mitteeS in all districts of Serbia To
organize associations of priests.

Surance and of cooperation with

The Committee also has decided,
Belgrade Radio said, to send the
rules of similar associations work
ing in SIovenia, Bosnia and Her
zegovina to all Roman Catholic and
Greek Catholic priests in Serbia
with a view to helping them draw
up statutes and rules for their own
organizations.

the whip, in which effort they fail
ed, owing to the fact that the shot
line had fouled in the wreckage.
Although this line could not be
used as intended, it at least served
the good purpose, as was already
shown, of helping Julgen get back
on the ship. Keeper Harris stated
that he tried to send this second
shot within reach of Julgen, so
that in case the men on the schoon-
er did not succeed in getting it, he
(Julgen) would be able to lay hold
of it, and the life-savers could then
haul him ashore. The line doubtless
saved the sailors life, although
not in the manner the keeper had
considered possible.
Failing the second time in their
efforts to get the apparatus in OPP
Grafton, the sailors returned to the
stump of the spanker mast, around
which they chung, some of them
lashing themselves fast. Several
of the life-savers who were present
on the beach testified that while
the sailors were in this position
the seas repeatedly buried them
out of sight. That they managed
to hold on was a matter of
astounding surprise to the veteran
surf fighters.
A third line-also a No. 8, pro-
jected by A ounces of powder, and
sent across the schooner in the
same place that the two others
fell-changed the fortunes of the
ship-wrecked men. They had some
trouble in getting the whip on
board, due to the wreckage and
current, but they at last succeeded
in fastening both whip and haw-

WRECK OF SCHOONER
CHARLES S. HIRSCH

The Charles S. Hirsch was a
four-master schooner of $40 tons
burden, owned by the Hirsch Lum-
Der Company of New York. She
left Brunswick, Ga, 81 years ago
ON the morning of October Is, 1908,
bound for Baltimore, Md, with a
cargo of 31S Georgia pine piling,
consigned to the Hodgkins Lumber
Company. She was wrecked near
Paul Gamiles Hill.
On this trip she carried a crew
OF eight men, including the Cap
tain, as follows: Frank Wall Hunt
er, Master; Charles o. Olson, mate,
Fred L. Hoffses, engineer; Edward
j. Christensen, Albin Julgen, Tor
res Gunderson, Ludwig Helgesen,
seamen, and the cook. Helgesen
and the cook lost their lives in the
disaster here described. No one of
the crew interrogated by the Off
Ger who investigated the disaster
could give the name of the cook.
All that could be learned about the
cook was that he was an English
man and that he had shipped at
Brunswick, the port from which
the schooner had sailed. The Cap
tain stated that his name was on
the ships papers which were lost
with the vessel.
The piling the schooner carried
consisted of sticks from 80 to 90
feet long and measuring from 10
to 20 inches through their largest
ends. They were slowed heads and
butts. The deck load of 116 timbers

filled up all the space amidships,
being stacked well up under the
main and mizzen masts, leaving
free only the space forward occu-
pied by the forecastle and that aft
taken up by the cabin and quarter
deck. The piling was securely lash
ed by wire and chains.
Eight Knots in "a Hours
According to the testimony of
Captain Hunter, the schooner had
fair weather until October 20, when
she encountered a northeast gale,
which lasted until the 22nd. After
that she had variable winds and
Gains, there being days when she
would not log more than eight
knots in the whole twenty-four
hours. There was nasty sea all
this time, says the master, and the
conditions seemed to indicate that
storm was brewing. About 2:3O
a. m. of October 20, when the YES
sci was doubtless somewhere off
the Kill Devil Hills life-saving sta
ton, she lay becalmed. The Cap
tain had not been able to take an
observation for thirty-eight hours,
and did not know more than APP
proximately where he was. The
crew had been taking soundings
since S.O0 of the preceding morn
ing, and at the time stated, 2:3O
am, the lead showed 16 fathoms.
About 3:15 a light wind sprang up
from the northward, which, within
an hour, freshened to or a knots.
At this time the schooner was
heading north-northwest in 10
fathoms. The Captain was on deck
all the while assisting taking
