Subscribed $192 Toward Million Dollar Fund.

At' a meeting of the Bishop Dwenger Council No. 1881, Sunday evening at the, parochial school hall, the members subscribed $192 toward the million. dollar war fund which isber ing raised by the Knights of Columbus of the United States for the building of recreation camps at the various cantonments throughout the country. The proportionate share of the local order was placed in the neighborhood of $l6O, so it may be seen that the members of the order here have already oversubscribed their share. However, they do not propose to stop at the sum now raised and expect to have at least S4OO to be given toward the fund. There can be small doubt that the million dollar fund will be raised. To correct any mistaken impressions, the meAbers of the local order wish to state that the recreation camps will not orfly be for Catholic men but for members of all other religious orders.
