your organization to tho American
Expeditionary Forces. Tho active
work of your organization in

scope oer since. Before the cessa
tion of hostilities Its workers wero
attached- to many of tho combat
divisions and recreation huts had
born opened in the principal Ameri
can concentration centers. Numer
ous commanding officers havo com
mended the devotion to duty of your
personnel and liavo testified to their
popularity and helpfulness among
tho troops whom they served. Dur
ing the armistice It has been par
ticularly actlvo in tho nromotlon of

health and contentment. It has also
contributed to tho success of tho
army entertainment programmo by
numerous appropriations for musi
cal Instruments 'and equipment of

eral lecreational activities, helnlng
materially to maintain tho morale
of tho army during tho Inevitablo
period of waiting to go home. I
thank you, and each Individual

Tho second pilgrimage of tho
American doughboys to the shrlno
or Our Lady at Lourdea, France,
took iplaco on Thursday. Mtfv 29.
under tho direction of the Knights
of Columbus. Tho first pllgrimago
of the American doughboy to the
Orotto at Lourdes was on the occa
sion of the feast of tho Annuncia
tion, and to uso the word of an aged
French woman, "Thero was never
anything so wonderful as that."
Endless lines of khaki-clad boys
filed toward tho shrlno of Our iLady
and on their arrival attended mass,
visited tho Grotto and Shrine and
at twilight, when tho stars shone
In all their splendor, chanted a sol
emn Vespers and tho Rosary. On
their departuro they suggested that
each would give a "Doughboy's
mite" ana the proceeds will bo used
toward placing a statue of Joan of
Arc above tho Rosary church. Thia
will mark tho day of tho first Amer
ican military pilgrimage to tho
shrine of Our Lady at Lourdes.
Hundreds of doughboys expected to
leave Paris oinder the direction, of
tho Knights of Columbus, and at
tend the second American military
pilgrimage to that shrine. Catholic
travelers from every part Of tho
world havo visited Lourdes. .for
they know that there the Blessed
Virgin appeared to the littlo Shep
herdess, Dornadetto Soubrlous, and
told hor such things as have mado
Lourdes ono of tho holy places of
Christendom.

MKDALS FROM STATUE.
Thero are 17,549,324 Catholics in
the forty-eight States of tho Union,
according to tho 1919 edition of the
Official Catholic Directory, publish
ed and copyrighted by P. J. Kenedy
& Sons, Barclay street, Now York.
With fifty-four archdioceses and dio
ceses making no changes In their
population statistics, with nino dio
ceses snowing decreases and with
thirty-nine archdioceses and dlo
cesea showing Increases, the net in
crease in tho number or Catholics
over tho preceding year amounts to
133,021. Although this Is tho
smallest Increase shown in many a
year, thero is no cause for alarm,
for, according to tho tables of tho
1919 Issue, flftyrfour important
archdioceses and dioceses made no
changes whatever In their popula
tion figures. This does not mean
that tho archdioceses and dioceses
In question havo beon at a standstill,
uui simpiy indicates that no now
census was taken during tho unset
tled conditions brought about by the
great world war. In fact, it is
that will pointed out that some of tho most
Important archdioceses havo not
changed their figures in quite a
number of years.
The Catholic -population figures
are not therefore, as Protestant
a new census, tho Catholic popula
tion flguro would ho over 19,500,
000. During tho last twenty-five
years the church In this country has
mado giant strides as is evidenced
by comparing the figures In former
directories. Tracing back tho pop
ulation figure twenty-five years it Is
shown that tho Increase In tho num
ber of Catholics in tho United States
during tho past quarter of a cen
tury has amounted to 8,471,459.
Adding to the figure 17,549,324,
which is tho Catholic population of
the United States proper, tho num
ber of Catholics in Alaska, the
Canal Zone, tho Virgin Islands,
Guam, tho United States possessions
In Samoa, tho Hawaiian Islanda,
Porto Illco and In the Philippines,
It develops that there are 26,332,
C50 Catholics undor the protection
or the United States flag. Tho usual
table of statistics appears in the
Kenedy publication, and according
to tho general summary of the 1919
Issue there aro now 20,588 Catholic
priests In tho United States. Of
these, 15,052 aro secular clergymen
and 5,536 aro priests of religious
orders. Other figures taken rrom
tho copyrighted summary aro as
follows Archbishops, 14; bishops,
97; churches with resident prie3ts,
10.460; missions with churches, 5,
537; seminaries, 110; seminarians,
7,865; parishes with schools, 5,788;

orphans, 46,069; homes for aged,
116; eolleges for boys, 216; acade

Special attention is called to tho
pictorial section in tho 1919 Issue.
Tho compilers have secured and
published likenesses of all the arch
bishops xand 'bishops who were ap
pointed to American Sees up to a few
weeks ago. The pictorial section
consists ot thirty-two pages, an un
usually large number. Another tea
ture of the 1919 edition Is the com
plete list of army and navy chap
lains, which takes up six pages in
the Kenedy publication. Tho 762
secular clergy and tho 264 members
of religious orders who were serv
ing under the stars and stripes, are
listed In tho army and navy sec
tion. According to tho new issue of
"Konedy'a Official Directory" twen

ulation of 100,000 or over, tho
