ONE MILLION FOR ATHLETIC CAMPS H, I. ’ (Continued from Page One) to-all the camps, who will celebrate mass, hear confessions and adminls‘ter the sacraments to the soldiers. 11 While every United States regiment is supplied with a chaplain, d only a certain percentage of those chaplains are priests, and it often happens that Catholic young men cl find themselves assigned to regiments u with no priest available. This will be overcome by the Knights of Co- ! lumbus plan, which will provide a priest for every regiment whether they be in camp at home or in the field abroad This fact alone makes b It imperative that all Catholics subI' scribe to the fund. The buildings erected by the it Knights of Columbus will not be ex- -- cluslvely for Catholic soldiers, but any non-Catholic soldiers wishing to avail themselves of the conveniences n supplied will be free to use them. The I building will also be at the disposal of the United States government and I may be used for any purpose at any J time that the government wishes. The designation by the war depart- -- ment of the Knights of Columbus as I. the official agency for looking after h the moral and social welfare of the Catholic men of the army and navy e has placed upon tA’ order a great r responsibility. Not only every memj her of the Knights of Columbus, but every Catholic man and woman in the country should recognize thjp repponsibilitv and do their share in asI. ’ sisting the knights to look after the II welfare o,f our soldiers and sailors. The action of the war department in t designating the Knights of Columc bus as the channel through which the i- moral and social welfare of the soldiers and sailors will be looked after, t has the hearty endorsement of the three American cardinals and the ent tire hierarchy of the church in the United States. The selection of the Knights of Columbus as the official agency of Catholic service in the armv and navy is I a direct result of the efficient work ■ done for the soldiers on the Mexican 1 border. In selecting the Knights of 1 Columbus for this work the war de--3 ipartmont places the great Catholic fraternal order in the same basis as i the Y. M. C. A., which takes care of I the non-Catholic religious and social i- welfare work in the army and navy. ? The Knights of Columbus will work in co-operation with the official Catht olic chaplains and will also have to pay the expenses of many other unofficial chaplains. The Knights will C have to erect Catholic centers ami suitable places for the celebration of mass in each of the sixteen cantonments to be established in this coun- ’ try. In these Knights of Columbus ’ centers all men in the service will be made most heartily welcome. This is the largest task ever undertaken by the Knights of Colum- ’ bus, and, as already said, the respon- ' sibility is very great. No doubt the ' knights will vindicate the confidence < reposed in them by the federal and , >, ecclesiastical authorities. The - Knights of Columbus will do their ( . share, and every Catholic organiza- / tion and every Catholic person will bee the need as patriots and as Catholics of assisting in this work. Though the Catholics constitute , about twenty per cent of the popula- , tion of the country their percentage | of enlistments in both branches of the service it is stated is more than ' 30 at present and will exceed 40 per ‘ cent when the new army will be asI sembled in September. As a conse- , quence Catholics throughout the . * country feel the grave responsibili- i i ties placed upon them to safeguard ; the social and moral welfare of their ■ coreligionists. The war department , has cheerfully accepted the offer of . the Knights of Columbus to give all possible assistance to their fellow Catholics the same as the Y. M. C. A. , ' will do for the non-Catholics. These , two organizations performed excel-1 1 lent work on the Mexican border, and | the success of their experiment there ( i'prompted the war department to al- - low the present arrangement, which 1 ■ means that the Knights of Columbus 1 i will act as the agent of all Catholics i societies and the Y. M. C. A. will di-1 ’ rect the work of all Protestant organizations. The chairman of the war depart--1 ment's commission on training camp 1 Activities. Raymond B. Fosdick. has r addressed the following letter to Su--1 preme Knight James A. Flaherty: 1 "‘June 21, 1917. * “At the meeting of th“ commission ' on training camp activities held June * 119, it was unanimously voted to reci ommend to the secretary of war the (acceptance of the generous proposition of the Knights of Columbus of Juue 15. in regard to the erection.of I buildings for social purposes in the ’’ army training camps in the United ■ States. Secretary Baker yesterday I indicated his agreement with our res-1 II ohrtion, and 1. understand that word d has already been sent to the officials of your organization. | “May I take this opportunity to ex-

press for the commission on training camp activities our appreciation of tills offer by your organization? Many of the training camps will contain from 40,000 to (10,000 men, indeed, they will be sizeable cities in themselves and the need for social and relaxational facilities is going to tax the efforts of all those of us who are interested in providing a sane, well rounded life for the men in the camps. May I say, too, that we welcome the strong position which your organization has always taken in regard to the moral hazards surroundInga young man's life, and 1 am contldent that your Influence in the camps will ad much to their general tone. ‘“We shall be very glad to co-op-erate with you in every way possible and we sincerely trust that success will follow your efforts to raise the money necessary to prosecute your work. “Very sincerely yours, "RAYMOND B.

MILEAGE is the measure of any tire’s worth. The final test is service. If it survives the wear and tear of hard driving over any sort of road, with the minimum of bother, it’s a good tire. It’s a worthy tire, no matter who made it. Carspring Tires, of whatever model, pos- x sess all the toughness, strength and nimble /g V resiliency that the skilled union of pure Para RHHF gum and highest grade Sea Island cotton can give them. • f,f *4 They are hand-made by the One-Cure Wrapped Tread Process. The complete casing is built as a unit and cured as such. This gives uniformity of vulcanization and per- l|'«| feet adhesion of parts, and entirely does away | | Si I fl9H| : with the possibility of buckling and pinch- 11 I &.-H ing the fabric. 11l / It costs more to build tires this way, but 11 1 ffflHfW you pay less—comparative service? consid- 1.1 / ered. 1 /Jfl|o»w; The Carspring Tire Co. has made high 1 % / grade rubber goods for fifty years.
