 The assembling of so large a force of marines in China, 1t was pointed out by an officer of the corps today, was in acordance with the unbroken prac- tice of the marine corps of having suf- ficIent force on hand to serve as an advance guard to seize and hold land ing places for the army in any foreign operat tions. In Cuba it was the marines who seized and held Guantanamo and gave the navy a base on shore, before fhe first soldier was landed on the beach In the famous boxer campaign in China. it was marines, led by the late Admiral dhen Captain) McCalla, who first got within the legation com mound and enabled the little garrison to hold out until the interna tional army arrived
 Again at Panama the marines were to the fore in promptly seizing the line of the Panama railway and preventing the clash between the Colombians and Panamaians that might have made the Panama canal nothing more than an engineers dream during this century.

Republicans Confident

The republicans confidently claim that the provinces of Shan Tung and Chi Li will join in the movement when required.
 Notwithstanding reports to the con trary. the republicans assert finances are not giving them anxiety because all the southern provinces and the Chinese in the Straights settlements are supporting them. Republican notes are current ev- eIywhere and an issue of 100,000,000 taels Approximately $70,00O,000 of domestic bonds will be readily subscribed.
 The republicans argue that they have conceded everything possible to the Man chus and tl.at responsibility for the re- newal of hostiilties must rest on Premier Yuan Shi Kai. This is more especially so they declare, as today the republicans consented to hold the national convention to decide on the future form of govern ment for China at Wei Hei Wei, Chi Flu or any other neutral point.
 The only difference other than now ap- pears to concern to regulations govern ing the election of delegates to the na- tional convention and the procedure at it's sessions. If Premier Yuan insists on conditions being accepted in their entirety peace will be impossible.

Another Crisis

Ranking, China, January 13.-The close of the fourth month since it's outberalS brings the Chinese revolution to another turning point. The coming week proba- bly, will decide whether order is to be restored or hostilities are to reopen after a six weeks armistice. Tn the latter event the bloodshed and reign of terror probably will far exceed any previous record.
 A review of the situation to the south of the river Yang Tse shows that the republican position has been materially strengthened
 Dr. Sun Yat Sen is rapidly completing his provisional government and the or ganzation of different departments The departments of war and finance have been completely established with a general appointments show that ;he factions which existed before pr. Suns arrival at Shanghai have been pacated and satis- faction with the republican regime is general.
 Since the organization of the republican government War Minister Huang Sing has been extremely busy. Orders he has Just issued show that preparations are completed for an advance of republican troops to lhe north if the arnistice Is not renewed. They will move forward along the entire front from Hu Nan to Shang- hai, using five routes. One column will go by sea to Chi Flu, another from Pukow through Shang Tung, third through Us Man. fourth from Wuchang through Hu Peh. and fifth from Shen Shi and Shan Si, all converging on Picking.

President Taft has appointed Rev.
William II. Ketcham, director of the

missioners in succession to His
Eminence Cardinal Gibbons, who
resigns from the board owing to his

splendid fitness for the office, and rem
der him eminently qualified for the
post to which the Chief Executive has

IN CATHOLIC BAVARIA
Picturesque Professions That origi-
mated in Cattle Plague.

There is hardly another part of Ger
many where old manners and customs
have been preserved SO unchanged
through centuries as is the case in
that Eastern corner of Bavaria bor-
dering upon Bohemia and geographic
cally called the ''Bavarian Forest" The
population there is strictly Catholic.
About Pentecost time the "Pfngstritt'
or "Pentecost-Ride" is a religious pro-
cession on horseback, and it takes
place every year on Whit Monday in
the village of Koetzting.
According to documents still in ex-
istence this custom dates back to the
year 1412 when the region was afflicted
by cattle plague causing the perish
ing of innumerable cows and horses.
The people then vowed to hold a year.
ly procession to nearby chapel where
they would beseech the Lord to save
them from similar calamity in fu-
ture. The procession is still held to-
day, and not year was missed ever
since it was originated.
The procession's line of march ends
at a small chapel about eight miles
away, where services are held, and
after these are over, the cavalcade,
which usually numbers hundreds of
horses, return to the starting place,
where the rest of the day is spent in
social gatherings.

new LONDON HOSPITAL
Catholic Woman Gives $3.50, ,000-Pre-
4 ference Given to Middle Class
CathoIics-cathoIic Staff.

The new and magnificent hospital
which lis being built at DOLLS Hill, a
Northern height above London, is the
gift of an anonymous Catholic bene-
factress to the city. The lady in
question placed a sum of $250,000 in
the hands of Cardinal Bourne for the
purpose of a hospital, and though at
first it was intended to enlarge suit
ably the existing hospital of SS. John
and Elizabeth, it was finally decided
to open a new institution. The build
ing is an imposing one, erected ac-
cording to the very latest hygienic
principles, and constructed of red
brick, faced with Portland stone.
i On the facade of the central block
is life-size figure of st. Andrew, to
whom the hospital is dedicated. There
is noble chapel large enough to
accommodate patients and staff. The
hospital contains some hundred beds
divided between medical and surgical
wards, and these will be open to Cath
olics and French-speaking persons in
preference to others; but none Catholics
will be admitted when there is no
Catholic applicant. The intention of
the new foundation is to meet long
felt want, so small fee will be
charged and the patients will be those
who, too we'll off to trespass on the
charity of the general hospitals of
London, are yet not in such affuent
circumstances as to be able to afford
a nursing home or the services of
eminent medical men in their own
homes In short, the hospital will be
a boon to the much-neglected middle
classes. AS regards nursing and
housekeeping, the hospital is in the
care of the Poor Servants of the
Mother of God and the administration
is under the capable direction of Mon
signor Carton di Wharf, Chancellor of
Westminster Archdiocese and brother
of the well known Belgian Minister,
Who will reside at the hospital \, in
future and act as it's chaplain. The
medical staff will also be Catholic as
far as possible, though many eminent
non-Catholic medicoes will give their
services and are taking a great inter
est in the work. 1t is hoped the hos
pital will be opened and the wards
blessed early in the new year, by
Cardinal Bourne.

NEW YORK CEMETERY SOLD
First Opened in 1917-Not Used for
Burial Purposes Since 1851
Sold for 1857 900.

At the request of the trustees of
st. Patrick's Cathedral, New York,
Justice Newburger of the Supreme
Court signed an order allowing the
old Catholic cemetery on East
Eleventh Street to be sold to Francis
Schlitt of Jersey City, for $357, 900.
The cemetery was first opened in
1917, and the last burial was made in
it in 1851. Since then efforts have
been made to dispose of the property
but the opposition of the descendants
of those buried there prevented it's
sale. In 1909 five thousand graves
were opened and the remains together
with the tombstones were transferred
to Calvary cemetery in Queens
County. For the past three years the
cemetery has been used as a play
ground.
Among those who were buried in
the cemetery were Hendrix Smets,
once Burgomaster OF Amsterdam.
Holland; Countess de Baldi Of Santo
Domingo, and Capt. John Mcmahon
of the Eighteenth Company OF the
Montgomery Guards.
