Officials Say Immediate Ap plications For Reservations on Special Train Necessary (Special to The Bulletin) Savannah, Ga.—There has been a gratifying interest displayed in the Eucharistic Congress pilgrimage to be conducted from the Diocese of Savannah under the auspices of the Knights of Columbus, and there is every indication that the state will be represented at the Congress by a delegation which will reflect credit both by its size and its quality on the Diocese. The Congress is from June 20 to June 24. The pilgrimage, which has the hearty approval of Rt. Rev. Michael J. Keyes, Bishop of Savnnaha, will leave Savannah on a special train the evening of June 17, will pick up the Augusta delegation at Mitten, the Macon pilgrims at that city, the Brunswick, Waycross, Albany and Columbus delegation at Columbus and the Atlanta, Home, Athens and Griffin members at Birmingham.

It will bring to Chicago Catholics from every corner of the globe; even now they are sailing the seven seas, from Asia Africa, Austrailia, from the cold climes of the distant north and from the heat of the South Sea Isles, in order to be in Chicago next month. The officials of the Georgia pilgrimage feel that if the Eucharis tic Congress, organized to honor our Divine Lord, is important enough to bring Catholics half way around tlie globe to attend it, no Georgia Catholic worthy of the name who can possibly arrange to make the trip to Chicago, even at a great sac rifice, will absent himself, Fifteen Cardinals, including the legate, the personal representative of the Holy F’ather himself, and more than 350 Archbishops and Bishops from practically every country in the world have expressed their inten tion of being present at the Con gress. The Cardinal Primates of France, of Spain, of Hungary, of Austria, of Ireland, tlie great Cardinal O’Donnell of Armagh, the See of St. Patrick, will be there. It may be the greatest gathering of prelates, priests and people the world has ever seen outside Rome itself and one perhaps those now living will not have an opportunity to see again. There are plenty of accomodations in Chicago, the officials there say, but it is important, that reserva tions be made at once, and applica tion should be made lo Mr.-Kenny, W. J. Kenny. Jr., Cotton Exchange Building, Savannah, Ga., today. A story about the Congress on the front page of this issue gives such details as hotel rates. The Knights of Columbus committee is prepared to arrange hotel reservations as well as transportation if applications arc sent in at once.
