CATHOLIC WOMEN WILL SAFE
GUARD THEM AT PANAMA Elk.
POSITION.

The women delegates present at
the National Conference of Catholic
Charities in Washington, held four
special meetings to consider problems
in connection with the Protection of
Young Girls, especially from white
slavers. The work of organizing a
national committee was entrusted to
Mrs. l.. 2. Meder of Chicago.
On the motion of Mrs. T. J. Meder,
commissioner of public welfare, pro-
lection of girls from this and other
dangers at the Panama Exposition in
San Francisco next year will be as
sured by the woman's section of the
National Conference of Catholic Char.
tiles. A committee will have charge
of this work, to be composed of a
woman from each state, to be appoint
ed by Mrs. Meder, who is chairman of
the relief committee on the work of
safeguarding the girls.
The five existing sections of the st.
Vincent de Paul Society recommended
that headquarters for the society be
established in Washington under the
direction of an administrative body to
be known as the superior council of
the United States. From the Wash
ington Office it is proposed to direct
the work of this Catholic charity in
behalf of the poor of the whole coun-
try.

REVIVAL IN FRANCE
WAR CAUSED PERSECUTION OF
THE CHURCH TO CAUSE.-THE
PRIESTS IN THE RANkS-SPE-
cIAL MASSES FOR CHILDREN.

In France the war has worked won
ders From the day of it's outbreak
the persecution of the Church ceased.
Hundreds of French priests have re-
turned from exile to join the colors,
and each is vested with special facul-
ties by his spiritual superior so that
he can, as need arises, exercise his
ranks. The Jesuits are under the flag
and also the Franciscans, while more
than sixty Capuchins are amongst the
troops Of the Army of the East. All
the monks of the Grand Chartreuse
have Joined the colors and many 9th
er religious over and above the chap
lains who are serving with the army.
Already several priests have been
mentioned in dispatches.
Another beautiful custom which
France has started since the war is
the Mass of the children. This is said
every Thursday morning throughout
the Archdiocese of Cardinal Andrieu,
who recommends the devotion to the
priests. Hundreds of children come
and unite in supplication for France
during the Holy Sacrifice. Several
French Bishops, including those of
Mans, Montauban and Poictiers, have
organized special Red Cross commit
tees and have made point Of being
present to bless the local battalions
when they leave to join the main
army.

Stewart.
The rose windows in the transepts
are of commanding proportions and
in them the artist has combined the
cross, nails, crown of thorns, sun
rays, plain band, and floral wreath to
form an original design of great
beauty. Both windows are the gifts
of the Knights of Columbus and the
Catholic Order of Foresters belonging
to the parish.
The ten large nave windows are the
munificent donation of the Culshaw
family to the beloved memory of their
parents, Robert and Helen Culshaw
They are original in design and treat
ment They are a pictured story of
the progress of the Church from it's
institution by Christ to the arrival of
the first Catholic missionary in Min
nesota in A. d. $780, The epochs of
the Church history depicted are as
follows: /, Christs commission to
st. Peter; 2, The martyrdom of St.
Stephen; 3, The conversion of Con-
stantine the Great; 4, st. Patrick bap-
Using King Aengus on the Rock of
Cashel; 5, The coronation of Charlie
magne by Pope Leo III; 6, st. Edward
the COnfessor overseeing the building
of Westminster Abbey; Z, st. Bernard
preaching to the Crusaders; s, Column
bus planting the Cross on the shores
of America; 8, Mass in penal times;
10, Father Hennepin blessing the
Falls of st. Anthony, Minnesota.
AS the nave windows tell the story
of the progress of the Church through
the ages, so the three windows in the
facade tell the progress of the Church
in the parish of Minneota. In artistic
medallions you behold perfect pic
lures of: !, the log house in which
Mass was first said; 2, the old frame
church, and 3, the new Church of st.
Edward the Confessor. These are the
gift of the pastor to the memory Of
his parents. The window leading to
the organ gallery contains a bust fig
ure of st. Cecilia, and was donated by
the choir. The windows of the bap-
Jl0JL Will ulOudllAOHS vi ZIG I1OlJ
Spirit in the form of a dove were
given by Miss Mary Mcmahon in
memory of her deceased parents.
The windows of the entire church
were made at the studios of the Pitts
burg Plate Glass Company, Mime
apolis, and the praise of priest and
people is due to their artists, Messrs
Carlson and Larscheid, for the deco
rative manner in which they have
made them a concordant part of har-
monious whole.
The church was built by S. w.
Jonason & Co., of Aberdeen, South
Dakota. 1t will comfortably seat six
hundred people, and represents an out
lay of thirty-five thousand dollars.

THE IRON CROSS
HISTORY OF GERMAN DIsTINc.
TON FOR VALOR ON THE
BATTLEFIELD.

Shortly after the opening of hostil-
tiles the German Kaiser following
the precedent established by William
!, Reconstructed the famous Order of
the Iron Cross. The New Yorker
Staats-Zeitung furnishes an interest
ing history of this coveted mark of
distinction which is awarded solely
for the performance of deeds of the
highest valor on the field of battle.
King Frederick William III Of
Prussia founded the order on March
10, 1913, as reward for services rem
dered to the Fatherland in the Ma
poleOnic wars. The plainness of the
iron insignia was intended to remind
its wearers Of the hard times that had
brought it into being. 1t was a small
iron maltese cross inlaid with a mar
row silver band just inside the bev-
eled edge. The only other marks
upon it were three oak leaves in the
center, the royal initials F. w. sur
mounted by a small crown, and the
date 1913. AS is customary in the
case of royal orders, there were two
classes and a grand cross, the latter
twice the regular size. In 1841 per-
manent endowment was added paying
fixed annual sums to the Wearers Of
the decoration.
On July 10, 1870, the day that
France again declared war on Prus-
STA, the order was revived by King
William on the same conditions as
instituted. At that time the
three oak leaves were dropped, and
the letter w, the crown, and the date
1870 were substituted for the original
marks, but the three leaves were re-
stored by an order of the Imperial
Council in 1895. The decoration as
revised in 1870 has been bestowed on
48,574 German warriors of all classes,
including those coming from German
states outside of Prussia.
The Grand Cross is conferred only
on commanding officers who have
won a decisive battle followed by the
forced retirement of an enemy, for
the capture of an important fort, or
for successfully defending a fort
against the enemy's capture. In addi-
ton to the soldiers who have won the
cross for individual acts of distin.
guished valor, it has been granted to
all the members of regiments that
have performed especially meritorious
service. There is no decoration for a
German military man that carries
with it greater glory than the Iron
Cross, and it is significant that the
thousands of veterans who possess
this priceless decoration have always
been looked upon with the most pro-
found respect by the entire German
public.

DUBUQUE GAIHEDRAL
$25, 900 TO BE SPENT IN IMPROVE.
MENTs AND DECORATION.

The sum of $4,000 is to be spent in
improving and redecorating st. Ra-
phael's Cathedral, Dubuque, under
the direction of the pastor, Rev. T. G..
Brady. Among the improvements con-
templated are new slate roof, a
coat of paint on the exterior, the COM
plete renovation of the interior, a
new heating plant, new pipe organ,
and new carpet for the sanctuary.
The Cathedral is large and spacious
building and the proposed repairs will
put it in good condition to serve the
needs of the parish until new Cathe-
dral is built.

of the southern O'Neill and successor
of Butte, the son of Bronach, head of
the council of all the men of Bregia,
was "likely to have been the erector of
the crosses of Monasterboice and their
contemporaneous Round Tower" This
opinion is founded on the circum-
stance of two Muiredachs being men
toned in the Annals of Ulster as hav-
ing been abbots of Monasterboice, one
having died in S44 A. D.. the other
in 923 or 924 A. D.
To the second of these DR.. Petrie
ascribes the erection of the crosses
and tower, because" as he says, 'he
was a man of much greater distinc-
ton and probably wealth." than the
other.
The cross is described by Wakeman
in his Handbook of Irish Antiquities,
as the finest example of this class of
Celtic sculpture now remaining. The
shaft diminishes slightly in it's ascent,
and is divided upon it's various sides
by twisted bands into compartments,
each of which contains either sculp-
tured figures or tracery of very intri-
cate design, or animals, probably SYM
bolical.
The figures and other carvings on
the cross are of great interest, the
former as affording an excellent idea
of the dress, both ecclesiastical and
military of the Irish during the ninth
and early tenth centuries. The bot
tom panel of the front of the cross is
one of two contemporary representa-
tions of persons wearing a penannular
brooch. Many reproductions of these
interesting brooches are to be found
in gallery 8, Of the Metropolitan Mu-
scum of Art. The cast has been set
up in the Hall of Casts on the first
floor.
AS Muiredach is not an unusual
name in Ireland, there seems to be
no reason for assuming that the
crosses were erected by abbots of
Monasterboice, and that the same per-
son erected all of the crosses and the
Pillar Tower also.

irish NE MORIALS
MANY IN COLOGNE, SEE CITY OF
LARGEST DIOCESE IN WORLD.

The See of Cologne numbers 3,873,-
ISL souls having more Catholics than
all Ireland, with its four Archdiocese
and twenty-four dioceses, even add
ing in the Archdiocese of Westmin-
ster in London, which contains 250, 1000
Catholics. Apart from its numerical
strength, however, Cologne has his
torical connections with the early
Irish missionaries which must make
the honor paid to its Archbishop of
more than passing interest to Irish
men the world over.
Among the statues which are stu
ated around the magnificent Cathedral
of Cologne City there may be seen
one of st. Columbian, the abbot, in
monks habit, seated on throne. st.
Patrick, also seated, wearing episco-
pal robes, a mitre on his head, and
grasping pastoral staff in his right
hand, is represented as Archbishop
of Armagh and Apostle of Ireland.
At his feet two serpents are raising
their heads toward him. There is
also statue of st. Bridget Of Kildare
as abbess, while on the portal arches
of the Cathedral she is seen with a
COW lying at her feet. Again In the
Walraf-Richardtz Gallery there is a
fine picture of her with this same
symbol; and chapel is dedicated
to her name in the Church Of Gross
st. Martin, founded by an Irish hermit
named Tilmot in the year $50.
1t is further recorded that in the
tenth century Cologne possessed an
important Irish colony.

which are flush with the transept
walls, and sanctuary benches are quar-
ter-sawed oak of a lighter finish.
Exteriorly the building presents a
striking and very beautiful embodi-
ment of the classic Renaissance style
of architecture. 1t is executed in
Menomonie hydraulic-sand mould
press brick with Bedford stone trim
mings. The shingles of the roof and
tower are stained moss green and
form a pleasing contrast with the
brick and stone superstructure. The
main entrance is of carved Bedford
stone, and is reached by an approach
of thirteen steps with brick and stone
balustrades. In the facade above the
main entrance are three windows en-
panelled in brick mosaic, and in
both transepts large rose window
The facade is surmounted by Celtic
cross sixty feet above the grade, and
flanked by a tower one hundred feet
high.
The confessionals are built on to the
transepts and are in miniature a re-
production of the transept gables. The
basement which is large and commo-
dious affords ample space for Sun
day school hall, an assembly room for
the business and social events of the
church societies and gymnasium for
the junior members of ST. Edward 8
parish.

The Affairs.

The three affairs donated by John
O'Connor, the generous donor of the
block of ground on a portion of which
the church is now erected, were spe-
cially designed by the Dubuque Altar
Company and are in perfect harmony
with the architecture of the church.
The main altar stands eighteen feet
high by twelve feet wide, and is fin
ished in pure white enamel. 1t has
real onyx columns with hand-carved
caps tastefully trimmed in FURNISHED
gold. The altar piece is a beautiful
relief reproduction of Leonardo Da
Vinci's Last Supper" On either side
of the reredos are relief panels of the
sacrifices of Abraham and Mel
chisedech. In the niche over the tab
ernacle is solid brass Crucifix with
silver corpus, the gift of Mr.. and Mrs.
James Barden, Chicago. Three Rem
aissance domes and two graceful ped
estals supporting adoring angels with
electric candelabra complete and
make this altar the central point of
attraction in the church. The side
affairs, built into inches in the tran
septs on either side of the sanctuary
arch are surmounted by statues of the
Queen of the Most Holy Rosary"
and of ''St. Joseph" In the front
panel of each altar is an art relief of
st Ann teaching the Blessed Vir-
gin" and the Death of st. Joseph"
respectively.
