31ill Young Cop in Twenty
first Congress District
Has Day of Surprises.
One more cherished tradition about
woman went by the board yesterday,
when for the first time in the history
of New York women went to the polling
tooths to register for a regular polttl
CM election, Jut like men.
So far as known, not one woman who
registered in the four districts where
cpeclal Congressional elections arc to
lie held March 5 refused to tell her
use. Mon, they Insisted on putting the
number of years down In black and
white. Tolite election Inspectors sought
to protect the ladles, telling them that,
"Oh, well, now, you only have to say
that you're over 21."
But no thank you ! No mistaken
chivalry for the woman voter. I'vcn
g Mrs. James Um Laidlaw of the
New York State Womun Suffrage party
rebuked St natnr Won 1!, nrown for
trying to slip Into the elections bill at
Albany a gallantry clause permitting
women to htdo their ages when at the
polls, so did more than one earnest
registrant yesterday stand up and In
form the Inspectors that the funny
columnist's old reliable about a woman
never passing SO had no foundation In
fact.
Mild You lis; Cop Astantaaaeal.
The mild young policeman who stood
gi:ard at 3155 Hroadway. a barber shop
where the women of the Thirteenth. Elec
tion district of the Thirteenth Assembly
district In the Twenty-first Congressional
came to register, dropped his Jaw when
Mx In rapid succession firmly and with
unfaltering fingers wrote down bow long
they had lived on this earth. He was a
conservative minded cop and he smiled
knowingly when Mrs. Mary J. Dempsey,
who was there on the stroke of f when
tho polls iened, revealed her age. For
she was but 30.
"Walt till the old ones come," ho mut
tered. "And sure Mrs. Pempsey has to
tell her age anyway, for her husband
is standing by "
Mr Pempsey, by th? way. was not
only standing by, but he brought Mi wife
there. He's the Tammany ward captain
In that district and T. J. Dempsey Is his
name, but be Insisted on referring to his
wlfo as Mr. Mary Pempsey now she's
a voter and a politician. Mr. Demp
iy remained through the evening watch
ing with considerable interest how the
women turned out. For the Woman's
vole In the Twenty-nrst Congressional is
what lends an element of uncertainty to
the result.
Formerly the district was Democratic,
nnd Murray Hulburt, now Dock Commis
sioner in the Hylan Administration, was
the Congressman whose seat Is to be
tilled. Hut tha Democrats claim Capt.
Pemvscy referred to It yesterday with
nnslderable pain that the O O. P.
has reapportioned tho Twecty-flrst In
Mich a way that tho Republican candi
date, John A. Bowles, will have a walk
over, and the Democratic man, J. F.
Donovan, vrlll be snowed under com

Well, to return to the age question;
the conservative cop had to reverse Ma
estimate. As the amiable Pemocratlc
Inspector Informed reporters at the closo
cf the evening:
"They've been here, all ages, from
twenty-one to sixty, and I told 'em they
needn't, but they would tell how old they
were."
Mrs. Kstelle Colt, a teacher at Bar
nard College, was the second woman to
register. Her husband made a little
family party vi-lth her. Ho Is an actor,
and objects to publicity to that extent
that ho placed himself between his wife
and the camera when photographers
tried to immortalize the woman voter.
The third registrant waa a teacher also.
Miss Helen Ivlng of the Eastern District
High School.
Then came Miss Adeline Stirling, the
corresponding secretary of the New York
City Woman Suffrage party and an ar
dent Tammany Democrat. The Inspec
I tor- and the cop hailed the suffragist
with Joy, and Inquired anxiously when
Mrs. Keen, a suff who watched at tho
polls In that district last fall, was com
ing around. Mrs. Keen, It appeared,
had brought them pie.
"Pie like my mother used to make."
Slid tha fattest Inspector, smacking his
llpa. "And .doughnuts. Yesslr, who did
bring us fellows a dandy little lunch

and she can have any political pie she.
wants that wc can give."
Woman Inspector.
To-day will see a woman Inspector
sworn In at this place. One of the males
appointed for the year Is unable to be
on hand to-day. and the men arc seiz
ing with Joy the chance to have the
llrt woman inspector of elections.
The Republicans may win In the
Twenty-first, but tho Democrats were
mccedlng better at getting their women
out last night Over In tho Eighteenth
Election district of the Twenty-first As
sembly District, for Instance, the Re
publican captain. Walter Williams, ar
rived at the polling place at 62 West
138th street, completely exhausted by
his unsuccessful attempt to get his wife
to come and register. Williams Is a
colored man and the neighborhood
around there Is thickly settled with tho
people of that race.
"Rut the women won't come out,"
mourned Cap Williams. "Over at the
Manhattan Republican Club. In the next
street, wc had a meetln' last night to
try to organize tho women. We wanted
them to take offices in the club, but they
wouldn't. There was about thirty white
women there and two colored, and we
couldn't get one of them to take an of
fice, not one."
Women registrants were scarce at this
Place. Only one appeared In tho first
. hour, and she couldn't be accommodated,
becaiifo one Inspector was missing. Some
of the negroes have a bitter feeling
'ward the sulfs, resenting the fact that

declined to espouse any causo that war

The colling Places will be open all to

the women will make up for the light at
tendance last night. "They 11 be coming
out marketing, you know," as one Inspec
tor explained In a place where oniy nve
women appeared during the evening, and
the four Inspectors and the cop were
looking dreadfully lonely over the Im
posing array of books and blanks.
They'll be coming out to buy their
Sunday dinner and give their babies an

the polls. "And tho fact 'Is there Isn't
much Interest over this special election.
Why, t didn't even know till yesterday
that there was to be an election, and
I'm a policeman here. If the men don't

women to be Interested either."
The polling places are in all kinds of
shops. Mlsa Rose Fay, suit leader In
the Twenty-first Assembly district, reg
istered In a stationery store, but Miss
Annie Mathews. leader In the Nineteenth,
had to go to a cold, damp fish shop, to
qualify as a voter. Mrs. Charles Horn,
leader In the Twenty-second, registered
in an umbrella njender's place. The ma
jority of the1 places selected Were candy
stores, possibly out of deference to wom
an's (supposed) (sweet tooth.
Brooklyn rfrglstratltfn.
In tho Brownsville and Williamsburg
districts, Brooklyn, a. heavy registration
is expected to-night after sundown. The
beginning of the registration hour yes
terday, 5 o'clock, coincided with the be
ginning of the Jewish Sabbath, and- that
region being thickly settled with Jews
there was n very light turnout of women.
The Sabbath end to-night when the sun
sets .uul then the women will surely
register. There arti many Socialists
among tho Jews of Rrowtuvlllo and
Williamsburg, and the women have been
taught by tho hlg.i c;st of food and the
shortage of coal to take a. keen ' In
terest lu public affairs.
Yesterday the registration In the ex
cluslvo residential sections on tho
Heights was fairly heavy, quite eclipsing
thnSTn the paits1 Where the poor llvo.
Brooklyn women appeared' to bo a
trifle more coy about revealing their
age than did those In Manhattan. At
tho registration place at 111 Montague
place, on the Height, four women from
Die same family confessed blushlngly to
the Interesting age of 21. They didn't
say whether they were quadruplets. But
at the samo places another registrant
declared that yho sjfas 70 years young,
"and proud of It," flhe said.
The Mothers' Unity Club of Columbia
House Settlement marched Into "$ Mon
taguo place In a body, and every one
put her ago down unfalteringly when
she registered.
John 11. McCooey, the Democratic
leader of Kings county, said that, al
though the registration of women was
comparatively light yesterday, It was
because of the weather nnd the holi
day. He predicted that It would be
much heavier to-day.
PAYS HIS GAMBLING
DEBTS WITH. SUICIDE
John Junjr Giicncr Settles
Thehi According to Chi
nese Custom.
In the unwritten law of tho Chinese
handed down elnce Confucius founds
a philosophy which tcok no account of
the hereafter, but was particular about
earthly righteousness, when a Celestial
son cannot face his creditors with ma
terial payment he cancels his disgraceful
debt with death.
Thus It came about that Sun Wah
set abput last night making preparations
for a funeral "one block long" for his
cousin. John Jung Oueng. Queng had
seei) Ilftfcur winters, Hslf of them
had beeirpasBcd In New York and he
was famous In tho Chatham Square
neighborhood where the Fell street of
the Hip Sings and the ACott street of
the On Iveong Tongs rnuggte neighborly
fashion In the old dingy settlement of
Chinatown, as a gambler who wooed
fanitan and pi gow with assiduous. seal.
Of late the fan tan game failed to
produce, and pi gow brought no solace.
Cueng found himself $8,000 behind the
game, with no money to pay. Oueng
went over to 'Newark, where the gam-
j bllng Chinese flocked after the Mike
fialvln reign put an end to open gam
I bllng In the old Chatham Square haunts.
In the meantime ho lived with his
cousin, Sun Wah, at the laundry In tho
rear of 674 East 138th street, making
nightly pilgrimages to Newark to woo
back the goddess that had turned her
back on him on this lde of the Hudson.
"Him win $600 and him pay some
debts," said Sun Wall, reflectively, as he
explained the situation. "Rut him not
pay all."
Sun Wah was discouraged. Cousin
Gueng could not resist the temptation to
gamble. He had no liking for the Iron
and the counting frame of commercial
cleanliness. Six weeks ago Queng made
his last winning, and his mind seemed
to be affected.
"Me take much long time Journey," he
said to Sun Wah.
Then Clueng was not so certain about
"long time Journey" and rather thought
he would go to work In the laundry and
begin all over again. When Gueng got
up at 3 o'clock yesterday morning
Cousin Wah bethought him that business
life had paled upon tho sporting soul of
the relative. Ho heard Oueng go Into
the washroom behind the laundry.
An hour later when Sun Wah went to
the washroom he saw the body of his
kinsman hanging from a hook on tho
wall. A bit of heavy cord was about his
neck and Gueng had taken the "much
long time Journey."

Two Arrest Next Week,
So much already has been gleaned
from the amusing reminiscences of the
Partridge brethren as to pave tho wav
for warrants for two leading brethren.
James E. Smith, Assistant District At
torney, said yesterday that these men
will be arrested early next week for
maintaining a gambling room, and their
case will bo the test for future opera
tions against clubs that find hldyholes In
the big hotels against the clubs and
the leasees of the hotels.
"It Is not necessary under the law to
prove that certain individuals actually
gambled," said Smith last night. "All
that we have to do under the law is to
show that certain persons maintained a
room or rooms for tho purpose of gam
bling. "1 expect bitter opposition," continued
the Assistant District Attorney. "I am
now stepping upon some very prominent
corns. Names of persons with influence
In politics have been made public al
ready and many more names will be
given out as the hearing progresses.
"The vice trust has warned me to uult.
Already efforts have be"n made to dis
credit me to make tlie District Attorney
and the Mayor lielleve that I am 'dan
gerous,' whatever that means. Hut I
shall continue to n'now up this hidden
evil which lures men to the clutches of
professional gamblers and which, I
firmly believe, caused men to steal large
sums. The case of this George It. Low
den is In point. Apparently he fell Into
crooked ways so as to get large sums to
gamble away at the Partridge Club.
That sort of thing has got to be broken
up.
"Tho big hotel? have seen fit to lease
npartnients to gambling clubs conducted
as social organizations, but which are
literally gambling hells. Professional
gamblers, posing as gentlemen of means
and leasure, attend thfse clubs and are
permitted to fleece foolish members. Our
business Is to put the officers of these
clubs In Jail and to prosecute hotel
owners or lessees who permit the clubs
to use their quarters. For the members
publicity Is an excellent corrective."
Membership List Out Soon.
There are about 100 members of the
Partridge Club. The list of membership
is known tonleorgo Young Bauchle, the
president, whose law ofljee Is at 51
Chambers utreet. Thomas J, Canty,
Bauchle's partner, has been ordered to
produce this list In court when the John
Doe hearing Is lesumed next Monday.
District Attorney Swann expects to make
the list public from A to Z, so that every
one may know the business and home ad
dress of the men that have attended
tho poker Thursday and the monthly
settos at chemin de fer.
Word came to the District Attorney
yesterday that the uptown gambling
clubs which have been running upon
about tho same pretentious scale as tho
1'artrldge have got panicky In the past
few days and have suspended their meet
ings until the storm blows over. When
the John Doe Inquiry began by hectoring
the little fellows, the tl and $2 limit
poker players of the East Side ; the stuss
devotees and a few odd crapshootera, the
big uptown gamblers, feeling safe In
their Incorporated social clubs and pro
tected by high priced lawyers, laughed
at the whole business.
But they quit laughing when George
Young Bauchlo and his friends of the
Partridge Club were brought to the
Criminal Courts Building. At the lat,
they are In for the kind of publicity
which simply sears the gambling Indus
tryA, and if the District Attorney's In
tel pretatlon of the law Is accurate their
officers may bo prosecuted for maintain
ing under any name quarters In which
private gambling Is permitted.
Men who hiive lost large sums In these
clubs nnd who have been hounded for
payment by tho professional gamblers
put their casss In the hands of lawyers
and these lawyers are furnishing a great
deal of valuable information to the DU
triet Attorney, These men do not re

NEGRO SOLDIER IS
HELD FOR MURDER
Johnson Said to Have Ad

I'ATClltsiUK, L. I Feb. 22. Private
Alex Johnson, 24 years old, of Company
K, 307th Infantry, a negro regiment, in
under military arrest at Camp I'pton,
charged with the murder i'ere early to
day of Mary Brown, a twonty-four-year-old
negio woman, who lived with her
three-year-old child on the first floor of
a house on First street, Wost Patehogue.
Johnson, so the police assert, has ad
mitted that he stabled the woman to
death with his pocket knife. Tho county
authorities havo asked that the prisoner
be turned over to them to f.ico trial In
the civil courts, but he Is being held
under guard by the provost marshal nt
the camp, Col, John Howard, awaiting
orders from Washington.
Johnson and .sis; comrades from his
regiment visited the Brown house, early
this morning. When the crime became
known the police at Patehogue tele
phoned Provost Marshal Howard at
Camp Upton, eighteen miles away, and
the military police were ordered to ar
rest all negro soldiers who were absent
from tamp. About 200 of them were
held up and searched as they returned
on pass.
In the meantime, Constable John Glo
ver and John Conklin, a boy who lived
in thn home whom the stabbing oc
curred, started for the camp In an auto
mobile. At Camp I'pton they Inspected
the prisoners who had been gathered In
up to that time. Young Conklin could
identify none of them as being among
the seven he had seen at tha Brown
home.
Tho lad was then taken to th bar
racks of 'the negro troops, who were
turned cut and stood at attention is be
passed before them. Again ha failed
to find the men who were being sought.
About 6 a. in. a Jitney containing tin
missing seven arrived at the camp en
trance. The Conklin boy promptly Iden
tified them an. the noldlers who hud been
at the houtfe, Johnson nt first stoutlj
denied all knowledge of the killing, but
when Ii i IK'i'kd knife w.n opened and
the Nt.iitm on Its blade called to hv
Mtcnron, he broke down and admitted
the slaying, It Is asserted by the Pat
ehogue police.

"Now If you know any other boya
whoso clothes need mending," said tho
woman, "bring them In."
"Do 1 know any others?" asked the
boy. "Walt until I get tho company

Tho woman passed along the Idea to

of the six utory tenement at 314 East
12Id street was ilisoivcred yesterday
through the deaths of two men. Tho
discovery was largely by chance. Had
It been postponed death might have
taken heavy toll last night among tho
hundred or more who live In tho build
ing. Most of the tenants have been sub
jected to headaches, dizziness and cough
ing spells Blnce Tuesday, but no ono sus
pected the cau.e.

Physicians fiom the hospltsl treated
thirty others in tho building for gas
poisoning.
A woman neighbor of the Greenblatts,
alarmed by tholr failure to make a cus
tomary morning visit, entered' the apart
ment across a fire cscapn at 1 o'clock
yesterdav afternoon. She found Morris

the floor. Mrs. Grcnblatt was In bed,

nesa again, and u r.cu- nmbulancn call
brought Dr. Glic',:, who fuuud Gteen-
blatt dead.
Policeman James Kennedy lives on the
sixth tlonr of the building with his
mother, Margaret, and sister Anna. He
camo home after being on duly sll night
and found his mother and sister ill. It
was not until tho death of Grocnblatt
that Kennedy or the physician Mispeeted
that tho women might have gas poison
ing. Several physicians with pulmotors
were summoned from Harlem Hospital.
They went through the building, discov
ering patients on every floor Seiners,
who lived alone In a flat on the third
rloor, had been dead for three days
when found He had asked Mrs. Barnet
Schulrnan, who lives In the flat In front
of the one he occupied, to send for a phy

overcome by dizziness and fell in the
street. An arm was broken. She was
taken to the Harlem Hospital. Her hus

UNHERALDED SNOW
FALLS ALONG COAST
Traffic Men Encouraged by
Hope of Fair Skies.
A low pressure that played It very low
on tho national spirit of prophecy
sneaked in on the Florida const yiwter
day mornliiR and created a snowstorm
that for a few hours made the heads of
nil transportation boards fearful of a
wholesale tleup of trafllc. They had
been happy the night before In the hope
that the Washington forecast of fair and
warmer would be fulfilled. The Florida
storm changed things, but not so seri
ously as the philanthropic "high" drove
the "low" out to sea and It was reported
somewhere off llatteras last night.
Tho snowstorm deposited slightly more
than two Inches along the coastal re
gion and did not ause any trafllc block
ade. The wind shifted to northwest last
night and the sky cleared. Thf chief
dlsagreenhle rollcs of the stotm were

NEWSBOYS DINED BY
MRS. GUGOENHEIMER
1,200 Presont nt Annual Holi
day Feast in Brace Me
morial Home.
NKW CAP FOR EACH GUEST
Collejro Ciirls Volunteer as
Waitresses Orchestra
Furnishes Music.
A self-reliant newsboy stood at the
entrance of the Brooklyn Bridge about
noon yesterday plying his trade with the
crisp businesslike manner of probably
three years experience. Buslnesa was
good. There waa a steady stream of
Brooklynltes bound for 'Manhattan to
see the Upton boys parndo or for other
holiday reasons and papers sold rapidly.
Not far away another and smaller boy
stood in tho scant shelter offered by one
of the steel pillars supporting tho upper
decks of the bridge terminal. He waa
not warmly dressed nnd when ho sharp
wind drove In a stinging sheet of snow
he pressed In closer to the column and
hunched his shoulders together. He
looked miserable, lie was miserable.
And when the first boy bold out his stock
of papers ho noticed the Feeond,
"H'lo kid," he offered. "Ilow'a lrle;7"
"Aw. rotten."
"What's the mattir'.'"
"Aw, gee. Jlmmie, I lost me ticket to
the big feed," and while ho tried to look
brave about It there waa a suspicious
tremblo about his Hps.
"Dat's raw. Whereja lose It?"
"Dunno. I had It las' ntght an' now
I ain't got It an' good-by feed. Eat a
whole lot, Jlmmie, fer me," and turning
he started away.
A Ites'lar Feller.
"Hey, wait a second, can't y."" Jlm
mie caught the smaller boy by the arm.
"Whatcha hurry? The guy who gIVes
this feed Is a reg'lar feller. You come
on over to the home an' tell him you lost
It an' he'll let you In. Sen 't he don't."
"(Jce. do you mean it, Jlmmie?" was
the anxious query and hope shone out of
the little bos eyes.
"Sure. C'mon."
At a dog trot tho two boys ran up
Park row to Chambers street, nnd turn
ing east were soon standing with about
1,200 others in an orderly line nt the en
trance to the Brace Memorial Newsboys'
Home at 244 William street. Other hoys
also Joined the line In twos and threes,
for yesterday was the date of the an
nual dinner for newsies given i memory
of Randolph (Juggenhelmer, who before
his death ten years ago had for many
years provided a Washington's Birthday
dinner for the newsboys of New York.
Since the death of her husband Mr..
Kllza Gurgenhelmer, his widow, and
their two sons, H. Randolph ond Charles
S.. have continued the practlte.
"Gee. Jimmy," the original youngster
spoke, "I'm awful hungry. Do you think
he'll let me In?"
"There's no'.hln' BKc tryin'," was the
Oil vice.
"CJee, I could eat three slacks o"
wheats an "
X Cheap Feed,
"Wheats," Interiuptcd tiie other,
scornfully. "This ain't no cheap feed.
There's turkey an' cranborrles, nn' pie,
an' ice cream, an' "
"Come on. boys," the vol-e of Supt.
William L. Butcher cut .Hmmle's word
picture short. "Havo your tickets ready.
Bed tickets first."
JlmniW and his friend weie In front
of Mr. Butcher.
The kinnller boy came flirt.
"Gee. Mf Butcher, I o.t me ticket
lis' night nn tho subway an' I had a
led one. Kin I go In?"
"Whetc did you lose 11.''' as':;o,l Mr.
Butcher.
"I dui.no, but 1 think on the sub
way "
"Fine," smiled the superintendent.
"A young lady found your ticket and
sent it to me In a letter. Here It is.
Now walk. Dun't inn up Mair to the
dining room on the third floor."
"Whnt'd I tell ya." wlil.pered Jlm
mie triumphantly as the two boys, with
forty or fifty others, walked as f.ir as
the stairs and then ran up them as fast
as they could go.
There in the big dining room they
found their seats at long tables, with
pretty young ladles from Teachers' Col
lege, who had volunteered to wait upon
them and a real orchestra to play their
favorite .songs as they filled them
selves at first comfortably and then
uncomfortably with a well cooked tur
key dinner, with all the trimming.
Cheers for rntrnnras.
They stood up and fang "America"
and then cheered Mr. Guggenheimer
nnd her two sons and then well, as Mr.
Butcher put it ;
"As a rule, when you get 400 boys to
gether there is liable to be a lot of
noise, but these boys are too busy eat
ing to talk much."
Three relays of boys, each relay 400
stiong. scampered up the three flights
t.r utalrs to be feii. and cheered at first
I loudly and then not so loudlv and finally
I quite feebly ns the Ue crtam dlsap
j peared. and then walked slowly nnd
thoughtfully down nialrs. some even
walked painfully down htalr.s when It
was aP over.
Jlmtnle and h's pal were red of face,
happy of expression and suspiciously
rotund of body as they made their way
back to the bridge, late yesterday after
noon. "Some feed." said Jlmmie.
"Somo feed Is right," nareed the
bmaller boy, and then he -added, "An"
somo hat."
"Yeh," ugreed Jlmmie.
And he wa.i right, for along with the
dinner the Guggenheimer family pro
vldcd every boy n brand new cloth cap
which could be pulled down over the
eats when It was cold.
Air 4IOO Pounds of Turkey.
Altogether the 1.200 boys who ate their
Washington's Birthday dinner In the
Braco Memorial Newsboys' Home yes.
terday played havoc with 900 pounds of
roast turkey, ten bags of big Umg Isl
and potatoes, five bags of golden tur
nlp.s. more than 100 pounds of coffee
and better than 2D0 pounds of sugar,
rolls by the thousand, cakes In the as, "o
amount and more than 200 quarts or Ico
cre.im.
Altogether It was a large affair, and
meant a lot to the boys If the transfor
niatlnn of Jlmmlc's friend Indicated
anything. Lato je.iterd.iy afternoon the
latter was selling papers at the entrance
to the bridge ns happy as n lark, and
with his new rap pulled down over his
ears, oblivious to the snowstorm.

CARDINAL FARLEY
ASKS FOR WAR DATA
Requests Tastors to Furnish
Records of Parishes on
Catholic Service.
ANNUAL REPORTS SOUGHT
. .
Names oM omen Nurses Also
to Re Placed on Honor
Roll.
Cardinal Farley has given his fullest
and cordial approval to a suggestion
made by the National Catholic 'War
Council In a circular addressed to the
American hierarchy urging the Impor
tance of collecting and preserving ac
curate and comploto statistics of Catholic
participation In the war. He has ad
dressed a circular letter to the pastors
of tho churches In the archdiocese re
questing their cooperation In the com
pilation of tho stattbtlcH.
In his letter tho Cardinal lays stress
upon the value which such Information,
when carefully prepared, will havo for
tho Catholic historian of the. future.
Moreover, ho makes a direct appeal to
each pastor, not only to his pride as a
priest but also as a member of the
nrchdlor.esan clergy, to Interest himself
In the cillection of tlie war statistics for
the iirchdiocos' of iNow York.
Hach pastor has been ntked to file In
tho chancery ofllce, 2a East Fifty-first
street, by March lu a parish war record
for 1917, which request will be re
peated annually until tho closo of hos
tilities. The record will be typewritten
In duplicate, one copy to be preserved In
the parish records and the other sent to
the chancery office, on legal cap, bound
and properly inscribed in the manner
legal documents are prepared.
Grouping- ot Information.
To facilitate tho "gathering of the
necessary Information, to Insure order
and uniformity In the matter and to
obvlato unnectrsaiy labor the Ciidlnal
has al ranged a set of general heading
and sub-tliles under which the informa
tion can be grouped.
Of first Importance Is the honor roll
of the parish, containing the names and
addresses of all the younf: pian of the
parish In tho army and navy. Further
more, It will show their rank, branch oC
service and tho unit to which they navo
bueu assigned.
Besides containing the naineei ot the
young men in the service the Cardinal
wishes the H,t to include the nams
of the Catholic young women serving
as nurses in military hospitals. Thnlr
names, too, will go on the honor roll, the
most important data. The list will be
arranged alphabotlcally. ,
Second In Importance Is: "Coopera
tion with Federal. State and municipal
war measures. This will Include a .state
ment of what the clergy nnd the people
of the parish did to assist th New York
Stato military census, the Federal draft
census, the food -onsrv.itlon campaign,
trie liberty I.o.ui and the war tavlnas i
campaigns '."ucn information as can
be gathered regarding membership of
parishioners on campaign committee
and the purchase of bonds and savlnr
certificates and stamps by the members
of th parish), recruiting campaigns
(meetings held in parish halls, ad
dresses by clergy and members of tho
palish) and patriotic church services ;
(special reference to the announcement!
or tlie iieciar.it ion of war and to the ob
scrvution of I'rayer Sunday).
To learn to what extent the Catholics
of the archdiocese have i operated with
the American Red Crow information will
bo sought along tlie following lines . The
amount.-! contributed ; the names of Cath
olic workers on the local committees,
and the names of Catholics contributing
large amounts to the l'.e.i cross cam
paign for funds; parish branches of the
Red Cross, their meetings their service
and branches n which Catholic, men or
women are prominent workers, ottlclalu,
etc. j uctlvlty of clergy and Catholics In

iMinoiign the. Cardinal believes that
tho nctHItles of the various parishes will
be comprehensively covered In the Hfore
mentioned set or Iiejdlngs, he has fori
tho purposo of making the records posl-
tlielv complete mado tho final heading

Thn Cardinal snyn that while It Is
unnecessary for htm to expatiate on lbs
value otbuch information, the Impor
tance of the subject Justifies his request.
Ho admits, the gathering of It requires
considerable labor, but fools that lite
