Father Morrissey congratulated the graduating class upon the special op- portunjties which they had enjoyed at the academy. He told them how much the world expected, and had a.right to expect, from young women sent forth so well equipped to meet the serious duties life would hold for them; that the world, sorrowing in the throes of this awful war, needed them to help to bring back to a right un- derstanding of life’s best aims, the pedple, gone so far astray in their lusts for conquest and dominion, though these latter were won over the shattered homes and desolated lands of brave men who might oppose such aggression. Types of Noble Women. The preacher dwelt upon the great women who had figured so brilliantly as the mothers of great Cathelic men and saints; on the great work of the sisterhoods in training the youth, ani how loyally they, the class of ‘1918, must stand for the high principles of right and justice, for which all true Americans are ready to fight, and, if need: be, to die. g They must hold it as a duty to do all in_their power to promote the wel- fare of their church and country.

No domestic work has been done in the class rooms that did mot bear di- rectly or indirectly upon the patriotic duty of standing strong behind the country’s brave boys at the front.

Motorization of field artiilery will be carried to a greater extent in the American Army than in _any other army engaged in the war. Not only will a far greater amount of motor equipment be provided in proportion to_the strength of the Army, but it will be used for work where armies now in the field depend solely upon horse power and man power. The Ordnance Department has suc- ceeded . in developing such types of tractots that, exclusive of the heaviest field artillery mounted .on raiiroad car- riages, all. American artillery will' be motorized, with the, exception. of. some of the 3-inch gun batteries. The problem. of otorization: of -fleld ar- tillery is a difficult one, which explains why it has mot been carried :to- a greater extent than has been: the case With the armies. that have been fight- ing in Europe for the last three years. The - possible outpnt of tractors for the transport of - field artiilery in the TUnited -States is practicaily unlimited, whereas the Supply of horses is at present Jimited and is, becoming more so each month.
