LOYALTY URGED BY ARCHBISHOP HANNA
---
Before an audience composed of men and women of all creeds and all denominations, that filled the high school auditorium last evening, Archbishop E. J. Hanna of San Francisco delivered a patriotic address in which he declared that until all peoples proclaimed unto the world that the doctrine of the brotherhood of man must reign, and not the power of might, a just peace could not come inthe world war.

Mayor Samuel C. Irving presided over the meeting and about fifty prominent citizens of Berkeley and the bay district sat on the stage of the auditorium with the archbishoip in the capacity of vice-presidents of the meeting. Members of the Berkeley Council No. 1499, Knights of Columbus, arranged the archbishop's address for the general public, and a pleasing musical program was given.

"Joan of Arc" was sung by Mrs. William Gerritt Orton as an opening number, and Mrs. Orton as precentor lead the audience which stood and sang the "Star Spangled Banner" and "America" at the close of the meeting. Miss Margaret Cain was the accompanist for Mrs. Orton.

In dismissing the meeting, Mayor Irving said, "Friends--for we are all friends--I want to thank His Grace the Archbishop for his splendid patriotic address. I am sure we will all be better citizens and better Americans for having had the privilege of hearing Archbishop Hanna this evening."

BEGIN DRIVE FOR CATHOLIC WAR CAMP FUND HERE
---
With approximately $3000 raised by preliminary campaigning, the Catholic war camp fund drive for Berkeley and Richmond was gotten under way at a meeting held at the Knights of Columbus hall yesterday, which was attended by a hundred or more men and women, who are now actively campaigning for funds.

There are now being erected or already established at least three recreation centers and auditoriums at each of the army camps, which are conducted under the direction of the Knights of Columbus and are open to all men in uniform, regardless of religious belief. Contributions made on a like non-sectarian basis are expected to make up Berkeley's alltoment of $10,000 when the campaign closed a week from tomorrow.

One million dollars was originally voted by the Knights of Columbus to carry on this work, but so great is the need that the sum has been increased to five million dollars, and the campaign for funds consequently is receiving the support of all who wish to provide the atmosphere which President Wilson and the Commission on Training Camp Activites realized was needed, when the Y. M. C. A. and the Knights of Columbus were asked to take care of the religious training and the entertainment of the men of the army and navy.

Local Drive Organized.

Walter A. Chowen of the Claremont district is grand chairman of the drive, and he is assisted by Miss Florence Giblin of the Berkeley library staff as head of the women's work and H. O. Farrell as secretary. J. J. Morrin of the Berkeley branch of the Oakland Bank of Savings is treasurer of the fund. An executive committee of ten will direct the work of the men and women, who must raise $1000 daily form now until December 8th if the drive is to be successful. Mrs. B. Y. Bonson, president of the Catholic Ladies' Aid Society, which has been engaged in charitable work in the past, will lead the women, and has as her lieutenants Mrs. Helen Murphy, Mrs. William Hughes, Miss Louise Schustie and Miss May Farrell. The women will canvass for funds in the residence districts and the following committee of men will lead in soliciting the businesses and professions: Walter A. Chowen, Dr. Alva F. Maine, T. F. Leary, Arthur A. Wendering and P F Galligan.

Members of the Knights of Columbus, the Women's Catholic Order of Foresters, the Young Ladies' Institute and the Ladies' Aid Society will go forth in the campaign, and the leaders in the drive expect Berkeley to be "over the top" at the end of the week's work. Another meeting will be held at 8 o'clock this evening.

BIG RESPONSE TO APPEALS FOR CATHOLIC FUND
---
The Catholic war work drive, which opened Monday and will continue for a week or more, promises to bring a big response to the appeal for funds with which to provide an environment which will bring comfort and cheer to the nation's sailors and soldiers and protect them in the hours of temptation and loneliness. Workers in the Berkeley campaign are being met with generous response to their appeal for funds both in the residence and business sections of the city, and work among the manufacturing establishments and their employes which was started yesterday, is being carried forward with greatly increased interest today.

Philip M. Carey addressed the workers in the district in which the El Dorado Oil Works and the Tilden Lumber Company are located, at meetings today, and other factories are responding with a like reception to the workers who are securing funds towards the $5,000,000 required by the Knights of Columbus in their welfare work for the nation's fighting men.

A committee will inform school children of the patriotic work and contributions will be received. Mrs. J. Koughan, who has been in welfare work for the Red Cross and other noble causes, is looking after this section of the drive. This evening an entertainment will be given in the Knights of Columbus hall, 2073 Addison street, for the benefit of the drive, under the direction of R. B. Brown, who is one of the leading workers. A "Jazz" band has been rehearsing for the event under Harry F. Farrell and will provide lively music at the entertainment, and a big attendance is anticipated.

Berkeley's motion picture theaters have crontributed the use of advertising screens to the war fund drive committee and it was announced today that subscriptions will be received at all of the Berkeley banks.

CATHOLIC WORKERS TO HEAR REPORTS
---
A meeting of the workers in the Catholic war fund campaign will be held in Knights of Columbus hall, 2073 Addison street, at 8 oclock this evening. Full reports of the sum raised to date as the contribution of Berkeley in the $5,000,000 recreation center campaign which the Knights of Columbus are conducting throughout the country will be announced at the meeting and addresses made to the workers by Walter A. Chowen, manager of the drive; [Frank] V. Cornish, grand knight of the Knights of Columbus, and others.

"Here is an influence that is going to make large numbers of America's fighting men better soldiers and the recreation center fund of the Knights of Columbus should be supported by all regardless of creed," said Cornish today. "Forty per cent of the fighting forces of the nation are Catholics, and recreation which appeals to them and is open to all men in the cantonments must be supplied."

Meetings were held in the vicinity of Peet Brothers' soap factory and the Macaulay foundry this noon at which the factory workers were addressed by Nelson Welbourn, assistant United States internal revenue collector, who will speak in the interests of the soldiers each noon for the next few days. Men and women in most of Berkeley's industrial establishments have had the recreation work of the Knights of Columbus explained to them and have contributed liberally to the Catholic war work war fund. T. F. Leary is chairman of the committee which has in its care the solicitation of factory managements and reports generous contributions from those called upon, but states that many remain to be seen.

The campaign will be continued for the next few days in order that all establishments may be reached and a full house-to-house canvass of Berkeley made. Richmond will take up the work this week under the direction of members of Berkeley Council of the Knights of Columbus.

FINAL CANVASS FOR CATHOLIC WAR FUND
---
Money continues to come in to the headquarters of the Catholic war fund drive, and it is expected that when the final report from Richmond is received Berkeley's allotment of $10,000 will have been reached. This money will go to make up the $5,000,000 fund which the Knights of Columbus are spending for the recreation and comfort of the nation's soldiers and sailors in collaboration with the Y. M. C. A.

Final canvass of business houses is being made by volunteer women workers today, and the committee under T. F. Leary will close its campaign in the factory district. The teachers' committee, under D. L. Hennessey and Mrs. J. Koughan will finish ints work and report tomorrow, and funds secured in this city will probably total over $7500, to which will be added the result of the Richmond campaign which has just commenced.

LOCAL DRIVE FOR CATHOLIC FUND BRINGS IN $7,800
---
Contributions in Berkeley's Catholic war fund drive total about seventy-eight hundred dollars to date and the campaign just starting in Richmond is expected to raise the sum of money raised under Berkeley Council of the Knights of Columbus to the allotment of $10,000. Like the work of the Knights of Columbus in the army cantonments and navy training stations, subscriptions to the fund have been made on a non-sectarian basis, and the co-operation of the Knights of Columbus and the Young Men's Christian association in caring for the moral and spiritual welfare of the nation's fighters is receiving the generous approval of men and women throughout the nation.

The raising of a five million dollar K. of C. fund has the approval and appreciation of President Wilson and ex-Presidents Roosevelt and Taft, and other of the nation's leaders have given cordial endorsement of the work. Most of the training camps have six Y. M. C. A. buildings and at least three K. of C. buildings for the unrestricted use of all soldiers all of the time, and there is no duplication of welfare work or excess of comforts provided, as the buildings are constantly crowded. Most of the national Catholic war work fund has been expended in advance in order that there may be no delay in caring for the men, but much of the money just raised will go to fitting out the buildings and maintaining them. A liberty loan drive at which books and amagazines for the recreation centers were collected, has just been concluded and the dawn of the nation's war Christmas will find the men in the cantonments comfortable in the surroundings provided by a generous public.

Reports of Workers.

Reports of workers in the Berkeley-Richmond campaign received thus far are as follows: Mrs. Wade Williams, [St.] [Augustine's] parish, $728; Mrs. William Hughes, St. [Columba's] parish, $385.10; R. B. Brown, $226; Mrs. B. Y. Hobson, $222; T. F. Leary, $219.50; Dr. A. F. Maine, $214.50; Miss Josephine Raspiller, $198.80; George F. Gray, $166.20; Miss May Farrell, $108.80; I. W. Button, $88; Miss Catherine Flinn, $80.75; Chief G. Sydney Rose, $75; George F. Rose, $72.65; Miss Margaret Doolin, $55.75; Mrs. Scannell, $41.60; Miss Louise Shestek, $47.75; Miss Dorothy Leary, $25. Berkeley school teachers contributed one hundered dollars, $166 was raised in Point Richmond, $63.75 in [Albany], and the sum of $628.98 was secured through the efforts of banks and as a result of advertising, and unsolicited [contributions].

The drive was held under the general direction of Frank V. Cornish and an executive committee of ten who are poeased with the results of the work and express thanks to the public for proper appreciation of their efforts in behalf of the men.
