-FOUR PRIESTS ON THE TITANIC
A Father Sullivan and a Father Mant-
villa Said to Have Perished Along
With Fathers ByIes and Peruschitz.

1t now appears that there were four
priests on the ill-fated Titanic, and
that all met death in the icy waters.
Rev. Thomas r. d. Byles, of Ongar,
Essex, England, and Father Peru
chitz have already been counted
among the lost.
The Catholic News" of New York,
which sent representative to inter
view the survivors of the disaster
under treatments in st. Vincent's Hos
pital, says there was a third priest
among the passengers, Father Sulli-
van, who embarked at Queenstown,
and who, as soon as the ship struck,
went into the steerage to hear confes-
sions and give absolution.
The Catholic Times" of London,
England, says that Rev. Joseph Mant.
villa was on board. He had been for
some weeks at the Lithuanian Church,
Hackney, where he endeared himself
to many. He was coming to America
to engage in missionary work. His
age was thirty-two. He was a native
of South Russia. Father Mantvilla
had been studying English in London
under the instruction of Mr.. J. J.
Moores.

PAPAL DELEGATE ARRIVES
The Most Reverend Archbishop Bon
zano the Guest of Cardinal Farley
Honor.

His Excellency the Most Reverend
Giovanni Bonzano, D. D., the new
Apostolic Delegate to the United
States, reached New York on Fri
day, May 8. On the arrival of the
steamer Koenig Albert at the Hobok-
en- pier, Mgr. Bonzano was welcomed
by notable delegation of clergy and
laity who accompanied him to the
residence of His Eminence Cardi-
nal Farley, where he remained for
a few days before going to Wash
ington. Immediately on his arrival
at ST. Patrick's Cathedral he was re-
ceived by Cardinal Farley and Mgr
Lavelle who escorted him to a throne
in the sanctuary. Mgr. Lavelle read
an address of welcome to which the
Apostolic Delegate replied. The cere-
mony was brought to a close with the
Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament
at which Cardinal Farley oficiated.
Last Monday the Bishops of the
Province of New York were the
guests of Cardinal Farley at a dinner
rendered to His Excellency the Apos-
tolic Delegate. In the evening a re-
ception was given him by the laity
at the Catholic Club During the
week Mgr. Bonzano went to Wash
ington and took up his residence at
the Apostolic Delegation, which has
been in charge of Mgr. Cerretti since
His Eminence Cardinal Falconio
departed for Rome in November.

N0TRE DAME
JOURNALISTIC Sch OIL
NEW DEPARTMENT ENDOWED BY
MAX PAM.
Program of Studies Has Been
Mapped Out for Four Years
Course Leading to the Degree Of
Bachelor of Philosophy in Journal
ism.

Beginning next September the Uni
versity of Notre Dame will have de-
partment of practical journalism.
The department has been put on a
firm basis through an endowment by
Max Pam, a corporation attorney,
with Offices in Chicago and New York.
Though the amount of the benefac-
tion has not been announced, it is
understood to be of such proportions
as to make possible the engagement
of an expert journalist as resident
professor and a trained specialist in
journalism as special lecturer.
A complete program of studies has
been outlined extending over four
years and leading to the degree of
Bachelor of Philosophy in journalism.
In addition to the technical study of
journalistic work, students will be re-
quired to take courses in political
economy, sociology, politics, history,
English literature, logic and ethics.
Special attention will be given to
world politics as well as to the par
ticular currents in the national life of
our country.
Practical experience in newspaper
work will be demanded by the course
and will be partly learned in the
offices of the University Press, from
which student daily will be issued
in addition to the present college
weekly, The Scholastic, and also by
summer work in metropolitan news
paper offices. The Scholastic will
afford opportunity for careful editorial
writing and department work. Sum-
mer work on newspapers will be an
essential requisite for degree.
Plans have so far progressed that
Father Cavanaugh, President of the
University, is seeking the services
of an experienced journalist to fill the
principal chair in the new department.
The university printing Office is now
supplied with three large presses and
a. smaller one, with four linotype ma
chimes of the latest make, and this
equipment will be added to when the
new department shows increase in
attendance. New editorial rooms will
also be opened.

BENEDICT|NE PRIEST
TITANIC VICTIM
Rev. J. Peruschitz, o. S. B., Swiss
Benedictine, Was On His Way to
North Dakota.

Amongst the passengers drowned
by the foundering of the Titanic was
the Rev. Joseph Peruschitz, o. s. B., a
Bavarian monk from the Abbey of
Sheiern, who was on his way TO Min
nesota, where he had been appointed
to an important position in the college
conducted by Fathers of the Swiss
Benedictine Congregation. He passed
Holy Week at st. Augustine's Monas-
terry, Ramsgate, edifying everybody by
his sanity piety. Happily he was
able to say Mass in London the morn
ing Of the day the Titanic sailed. He
was seen off from Waterloo on the
boat train by Father Paul Janicot, who
had accompanied him from Ramsgate" /"
The foregoing paragraph is clipped
from the current issue of the Liver
pool Catholic Times. There is no
Swiss Benedictine Congregation in
Minnesota. The only foundation be-
longing to that congregation In the
Province of st. Paul is st. Mary's
Abbey at Richardton, N. D., under the
jurisdiction of the Right Reverend
Vincent Wehrle, o. S. B., of Bismarck.
It is not improbable, therefore, that
Father Peruschitz who lost his life
when the Titanic foundered was on
his way to North Dakota to accept
a position on the teaching staff of the
college conducted by the Benedictine
Fathers of st. Mary's Abbey, Richard
ton.

4 MAY WREATH FOR OUR LADY

written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Mary A. Bishop.
In the croWn-room of Our Lady,
Heavens fair and gracious queen,
Many garlands of rare beauty
Hung on every side are seen.
One from Galilean meadows,
Dewey lilies, fresh as when
They were plucked in holy ardor,
By the hands of fishermen.
One of blossoms from the Rhineland,
One of fleur-de-lis from France,
One of Shamrock from old Ireland
Where the fairies love to dance.
And, tear-dimmed. from "Mary's
Dowry"
Where true souls once loved her
we'll,
Was wreath of English roses,
Maiden-hair and asphodel.
But Our Lady's eyes were shining
Meath a garland wondrous fair,
Which the hands of happy angels
Had but placed upon her hair
Flowers from woodland and from
prairie,
Shone like stars among the leaves
Of Magnolia from the Southland,
And the gold of Northern sheaves
Poppies, red as blood, were glowing
On the grey of Spanish moss,
And the Indian-pipe, and corn-fower
Met in symbol of a cross.
While twining all about them
Were flowers from many a cline;
The Shamrock and the Heather,
The Olive and the Vine.
Yes, one from every other
Of all the garlands fair,
Had found place of welcome
And nestled closely there.
And as / gaZed In wonder
Our Lady said to me,
"Tis the crown of all my children
In America, the free'
"And the name these children give me
Who there have ceased to roam,
Is the name love most dearly
Our Lady of the Home.'"

FIRST AMERICAN NEWSPAPER
Published at Lima In South America
Had Also the Second Printing
Press on the Continent.

Lima was the first city in the west
ern hemisphere to have a newspaper,
and the first, after Mexico, to possess
a printing press. More remarkable
still, this famed City of the Kings
sent printing press to the little town
of Juli, in the heart of the Andes,
several years before the first press was
introduced into the United States.
In this unknown place in the far
off Sierras y as early as 1912,
the jealous and learned old mission
ary, Padre Ludovic Bertonis, pub
lished his great dictionary, of more
than nine hundred pages, of the
Aymara language. Here, too, he
printed life of Christ, i'm Spanish and
Aymara, containing nearly six hun
dred pages.

five hundred pupils. The school Sis
ters of Notre Dame are in charge of
it. In 1906 the Sisters residence was
enlarged at cost of seven thousand
five hundred dollars; and two years
later an addition was made to the
church and it was completely reno

PRIEST INVENTS
SWI N NJ ING Shoe
Father kIaphecke Perfects Device to
Assist Swimmers and Prevent
Drowning.

A swimming shoe which, it is ex-
pected by the inventor, will be the
means of saving many persons from
drowning, has been invented by Rev.
Paul W. Klaphecke, professor of Ian
guages at st. Charles College, Cations
vile, Md. The invention has already
been tested by number of persons,
including expert swimmers in this
country, and pronounced success.
Those who have seen them believe
eventually they will be widely adopted
and that many of the ocean-going lin
ers of the future will be equipped
with them.
The advantages of the shoe are that
it enables an ordinary swimmer to re-
main afloat in the water and helps
him to make progress much more
rapidly than with the natural means
of locomotion.
The sole of the swimming shoe is
patterned on the same order as the
sole OF the walking shoe and is strap
ped to the foot. Down the middle of
the sole runs rod, which forms a
pivot for wings on either side Of 1t.
As the swimmer moves his feet these
wings flap backward and forward,
following the movements used by
the swimmer in propelling his feet.
There is small device attached to
the sole which prevents the wings
from coming together. The scheme
carried out is that OF resistance to
and the displacement of water.
