Cctholics Plan for More Coordination of Church Work in United States fBv Associated Press WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. Plans for more effective coordination of the work of the Catholic church in America, formed the chief subject of dlscusFfon today at the conference of Catholic prelates and clergy which opened here yesterday at Catholic university upon the call of Cardinal Gibbons. Attended by ninety-two members of the hierarchy and more than 600 representatives of the clergy and laity, the conference constitutes the largest gathering of officials of the Catholic church since the plenary session of 1SS4 in Baltimore, of which Cardinal Gibbons is the only surviving member. Cardinal Mercier, the distinguished Pelgian private, addressed the opening session of the conference and praised the work of American Catholics during the war. The influence of the church l as been broadened, the Cardinal told the assembly because of the spiritual support it afforded during the war. Camden, 0. The canning factory has been running at top speed the last week. A bumper crop of corn is reported for this section of the country. Wheat sowing will soon begin now Eince the rains of this week. Pearl Herman of the U. S. navy is visiting his grandmother, Mrs. Nettie Robinson. Ora Amerman Is remodeling the Tottenger property on Main street, which he purchased a short time ago. J. P. Scott who was seriously 111 is better at this time. His son, Dr. Scott has returned to his home In St. John, Michigan. Rev. Gilpin was in town Monday shaking hands with his many friends. He came to preach the funeral of Mr. Martin Baker. Tomatoes have been plenty, 700 bushels having been canned one day and 1300 cans another day. A car load of 6700 cans has Just been received, so business there will be rushing for some time, taking care of all tomatoes possible before the frosts come. The Chenoweth airplane made a return trip to Camden Wednesday afternoon. All went well with the machine and many successful flights were made. The following people had the experience of flight: Everett Lyon and brother, Burdette Collet, Bill Tillett. Dr. Coombs and his daughter. Miss Vera, who believes in women being to the fore in all things. Canada's War Cost Is Half Million a Day OTTAWA, Ont., Sept. 25 Official estimates, just made public, shew j that Canada's present war expenditures, exclusive of pensions, totals about $500,000 a day. Tho Dominion debt has amounted to more than $1,500.000,000. Total war expense for August was $11,087,000, a reduction of about $4,500,000 over August of 1918. Since the end of March, the beginning of the fiscal year, capital expenditure for war purposes has totalled $121,487,1S9, almost double what it was for the eame period last year. Depreciation of the value of Canadian currency is receiving constant attention from treasury officials. It has been pointed out that the condition probably cannot be remedied until part of the heavy trade balance against Canada in the United States is met.

Railroad Brotherhoods Not Named in Conference WASHINGTON. D. C Sept. 25 It may have been through an inadvertence, but 2,000,000 organized railroad employes will not be represented In President Wilson's Industrial conference at the white house Oct 6, unless present plans are changed. The president Intrusted to Samuel Oompers the naming of the labor representatives, probably thinking Mr. Gompers directly represented all organized labor In America. Mr. Gompers' organization has no direct affiliation with any of the big four railroad brotherhoods and he named no official of any of them. Officials of the railroad brother-

hoods and the Plum plan league feel confident room will be found for them at the round table. AMERICA SAFE (Continued from Page One) to aid In meeting all these classes of cases, we would especially ask the prayerful attention of all our members to the urgent necessity of a careful, sympathetic study of the industrial situation in our own and other countries. "Undoubtedly the church will have abundant opportunity within the next year to give powerful aid in pointing the way to the establishment of conditions which will make more certain social and industrial peace. "But if this aid is given it will mean on the part cf the Individual members of our local meetings, sacrifice of time, sacrifice of money, and without doubt also a willingness to take the risk of trying some new plans In social and industrial reorganization. "The only hope for finding a lasting, peaceful solution of the questions at issue in this field lies in the application of intelligent Christian sympathy and love when specific cases arise requiring action. "It doesn't take much brains to do as we want, but it takes a good deal of self control to do as we ought," said Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the National Anti-Saloon league. Wednesday afternoon as he described some of the league's fights. "And if you think the fight Is over, you are mistaken. Listen, for the appeal from Europe and elsewhere in the world where prohibition is not yet known. Whether you like it or not, we are part of a great international movement for world peaco, and it is up to us as never before to look to other nations and peoples." The eighteenth amendment, the speaker pointed out, is the greatest document of influence ever drawn by j a selt governing people. He addPd, however, that its enemies are multifarious, and that the law of evil is that it will spend its last dollar to promote itself "Down in New York, you know, fhey didn't even know that a man could get drunk cn beer. Now we have It written Into the law that a beverage containing one half of one per cent by volume of alcohol is an Intoxicating liquor, and against the law for anybody to use outside the bonafide confines of his home, in any part of the United States." Tells of A. E. F. Work. As he explained it to thousands of soldiers in France, Edwood D. Perisho, a South Dakotian, told tho meeting about the "putting it over while the boys were In France" propaganda, spread, he alleged, by the wets. 1 lound the American soldier a most reasonable and broad minded person when he had the facts but until then it was not so well. I found over there in France, where I talked to 200,000 American lads that the opinion prevailed that something terrible had happened back in the states; that some people back home had gotten up, and taken advantage of his absence by "putting something over" in the form of pro!bifan amendment. As soon a3 they understood that it was two-thirds of the congressmen who had voted the United States dry, they took the right attitude immediately." The Rev. Andrew F. Mitchell read the report of the social service committee Wednesday night, illustrating by a chart, rural church attendance. "It is surprising how nearly alike all the quarterly meetings in Indiana Yearly Meeting are," said he. The reports show: Whitewater, 133 members and an average morning attendance cf one-third; Kast Main Street Friends, 437 members,. 10S average attendance; Westville, i9 members and about one half average attendance; Orange. 12 members, average attendance 18; Centprviilo, no members, 61 average attendance: South Eighth Street, 274 members. 90 average atendance; Greensfork, 21 members, average attendance of 3 ; Salem, SI members and 40 average attendance.
