National Registry Day Sees UK Census of Able-bodied Men
Across Britain on August 15 the national registry called all persons aged 15 to 65 to declare age occupation and ability to work for the state. Crowds surged at offices as many feared conscription while Irish workers abroad returned home amid jeers. Many men rushed to marriage to be counted as fit. A National Service League campaign followed urging volunteers to offer service and press for government control. Chilean railways meanwhile seek bids for 700 cars.

Leper Grable Found in Pittsburgh Under Guard

Irremovable Rectors Questioned by Sacred Congregation
The Sacred Consistorial Congregation in Rome rules that removable rectors may still be removed by bishops and urges bishops to use their powers only for very grave reasons, conforming to the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore. The decision references Maxima cura of 1911 and notes bishops should exercise restraint in transferring priests.
