tution of a state of Armenia on a tree
and independent basis.
As to what state wodld be willing
to accept a mandate of Armenia would
depend, according Io the opinion of

the military measures necessary to
liberate the soil from the enemy, the
financial considerations and tno main

Announcement of a voluntary move
ment in the parish of St. Joseph's
Catholic church having for its imme
diate object the erection of a parochial
school to take the place of the pres
ent school on Twenty-sixth street, was
made yesterday by Mgr. P. M. Cushna
han, V. G.
A tract for building has been secur
ed at a stated consideration of ?10,000t
on which tho school and ultimately an
other Catholic church will be erected.
The site selected is at the corner of
Twenty-eighth street and Lincoln ave
nue. Under the plan outlined, Liberty
bonds bought to assist tho United
States during the war, many of which
are tucked away and now almost for
gotten, will be used to aid the cause
of education.
Committees were also appointed to
take up with individual members next
Sunday pledges for future payments.
Anticipations are held that the tract
will bo paid for immediately and that
a fund will be ready with which to
start building work next September.
The proposal for a new school has
been under consideration for several
years, Monslgnor Cushnahan said, as
the present school is altogether inade
quate to care for the growing attend
ance. The announcement was receiv
ed with approbation by members at all
three services yesterday and support
to carry through the project was promised.

Gymnasium's Completion
By Beginning of School
Year Hope of Authorities
Following a meeting of the
members of the Weber stake,
North Weber stake and Ogden
slake presidencies, the following
announcement on the Weber gym
nasium was made:
"It is just a year since the au
thorities of the Weber, North
Weber and Ogden stakes decided
to provide a gymnasium for the
Weber college and incidentally for
Ogden city and Weber county. The
time since then has been spent in
securing sites for the structure,
originally purchased on Twenty
fourth street but later on Twenty
fifth street; in perfecting the title
and connecting the sites with the
present college property and pay
ing for them; in the preparation
of plans, altering and re-alterlng
them until at a recent meeting of
the three slake presidencies the
plans were finally approved and
arrangements made to begin ac
tual construction.
"Consideration of the building
problems caused a portion of.the
delay. The great increase in the
cost of mtaerial and labor: the un
certainty. of advantageously secur
ing either, or of obtaining faxor-
able ontiaag-rW)lfiln.h'ejrnlRg -'
:nJ5enTlTEufe fixed Jo r the struc
ture and binding contractors to
either time or expense limits all
of these, with the extremely cold
weather and the backward spring
caused the presidencies to hesi
tate and to take tho necessary
time for a careful weighing of the
problems before them. The gen
eral sentiment, however, was that
the need of tho gymnasium was al
most imperative and that the sit
uation had to he met. hence, the
final vote, to begin construction.
"The delay has been of one ad- .
vantage. It has given' the people
a year longer in which to recovor
from the drives of various kinds
made necessary by the war and
they are now in better shape to
meet the obligation Incurred at
the first meeting held a year ago.
The drive for the funds will now
begin In earnest and the various
wards of the three stakes will
doubtless vie with each other as
to which shall be the fii'st to lift
the load so genorously assumed by
them.
