SEVEN NATIONS INVOLVED IN
WAR-ALL EUROPEAN NATIONS
EXPECTED TO BE DRAGGED In
PROPHESIES AND REFLEC-
TIONS.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Cecil UnderWood.)

The great guns are booming from
Moscow to Madrid, and in Homer's
elegant turn Of phrase, "the nations
rush to arms" Five of the great pow
ers are now at war-Russia, Germany
France, Austria Hungary and Eng
land. Belgium and SerYia have also
joined the fray. When these lines are
in cold type, most likely all Europe
will be drawn into the maelstrom. At
the lowest calculation twelve millions
of men are now pledged for the firing
line; the number may be increased to
twenty millions.
If we take into account the deadly
weapons employed in modern war
fare, this struggle promises to be the
most bloody in the history of the
world. On account of it's stupendous
character, both the German Emperor
their respective countries, made earn
est and praiseWorthy efforts to secure
a peaceful settlement. For whatever
be the outcome, the loss of lives and
property will be so large that Europe
cannot recover within a period Of half
century. 1t may be nearer the
truth to say that full century must
elapse before all the damage can be
repaired.
1t is, as Lord Morley remarked in
a recent speech, sad commentary on
our modern civilization when "the
common sense Of most cannot hold
fretful realms in ave-" For an appeal
to the sword is an appeal to barbar-
ism. 1t is step backward, no mat
ter how plausible the reasons vouch-
safed. 1t makes for the triumph of
the brute; it dethrones reason and en-
thrones the savage.
Christianity might have averted this
war, if it could present a united front.
But the divided household of Faith
was poWerless because of division and
discussion. The best attitude any
earnest Christian could assume was
to pray in silence that an All-Wise
Providence might protect His world
from such a terrible catastrophe.
Prayer has been offered to that end in
every church in Europe. But the
mysterious dispensations of the Crea-
tor often challenge our poor finite in
telligence by their apparent paradox.
We may ask the reason why-We
search in vain for a solution Of the
riddle.
Take a concrete example, pure
hypothesis. Suppose in the present

BISHOP FALLON HAS SECURED
SUBSCRIPTIONS AMOUNTING TO
NEARLY $25o,ooo FOR HIS SEM
INARY-$s5 900 PAID IN CASH.

The campaign for st. Peters Sem
ihary, London, Ont, which the Right
Reverend Bishop Fallon of that dio-
cese inaugurated two years ago, has
been most remarkable success. The
general summary shows that total
of $244 ,29006 has been subscribed by
the forty-seven parishes SO far visit
ed. This sum is to be paid in five
years, and though the second years
subscription has not yet expired, more
than $4,000 has been paid in cash,
which is more than is actually due.
This is accounted for by the fact that
a number of subscriptions have been
paid in full. Twelve parishes have
not yet been visited; of these three
are exempted because of works in
process of construction. Nine remain
to be visited, and each will be given
an opportunity to join in support of
the diocesan project.

God is our refuge,
Our shelter when trials
Exceedingly find us,
And pour out their walls.
Why should ] fear
When the earth shall be troubled,
And the tall mountain tops
To the sea shall be doubled?
The streams of the river,
Make joyful the dwelling
OF Gods tabernacle,
In beauty eXcelling.
God sits in the midst,
Almighty, supernal,
The Helper and Shielder
Unmoved, the Eternal.
The nations are troubled,
The kingdoms are shaken,
He utters His voice,
Hills and valleys awaken.
God Of our armies
In battle and plunder,
God Of our fathers,
Behold ye this wonder.
Wars cease on the earth,
The bow shall be broken,
The shield He shall burn
In the fire as a token.
Behold! | am God,
Bow in low alteration,
Am | not ruler
OF army and nation?

WITH HIGH OR NATURAL WAIST LINE,
 Two and three-piece skirts appear to share fashionable favor just now and here IS one that can be made in either way. When it is cut in two pieces, it means side seams only and these seams can be closed for the entire length or they can be closed with buttons and button holes for a part of the way and one or two buttons left open or not as liked. The three piece skirt is closed right down the center front and the side edges can be slightly curved if that effect is wanted. The front closing means that the skirt can be opened out flat and, consequently, 1t is especially to be desired for washable materials but, from the standpoint of fashion, the two and three-piece models are equally correct. A pretty feature is found in the strap arranged over the back when the skirt is cut to the high waist line.
 For the I6 year size, the two-piece skirt will require 2A yards of material P, 36 or A inches wide; the three piece fEirt 33s yards 27 or 2H yards 36 enlk.s inches wide. The width at the Ii edge is 15s yards.

ORGAN INSTALLED
 AT FOX'S THEATER

New Britain theatergOers will well come the announcement of the com pletion of the mammoth $1O,OOO Moeller orchestral organ which has been in course of construction for the pa st six weeks, at F'ox's theater. Mon day will inaugurate the use of the organ in conjunction with the excel lent array of photo-play productions which have made the theater as popu- lar as it is now. It will also please the New Britainites that there will be no advance in prices with the use Of the organ, the same popular prices of a seats, five cents in the afternoons and ten cents at the evening perform ances, prevailing. Realizing the dull business conditions all over the country, due to the European war, Mr. Fox advised not to raise the admission scale, and while a program both musi- cal and for the calibre of productions offered, much larger prices are charged elsewhere, New Britain will enjoy these added features at the same prices charged prior to the installa- ton of the mammoth organ The management is not just ready to an- nounce the musical program which will be an added attraction, as the in tentions are to devote fifteen minutes of the daily program for organ re- citals, having some of the leading or ganists render both the classics as well as the popular melodies. A beautiful stage setting has been specially built running along similar lines to the much spoken of Strand theater' in New York and New Britain can we'll boast of having one of the best motion pie ture theaters throughout New Eng land.
 For Monday and Tuesday MT. Fox offers Edmund Breese, the eminent American actor and an all star cast of film favorites in "The Walls of Jericho" as the big stellar attraction besides other singe reel comedies and dramas.
