The Emperor William at Berlin.
March 20, 1901:
I'VE will be everywhere victorious

powerful ally is God. who. since the

ing of all creeds and nationalities, in
times of war and pestilence? The
first commandment does not forbid
the making of images, it only forbids
us to adore them, and any Catholic
school child knows that We neither
pray to statues nor adore them.
"Also the Catholic church, in teach
ing her children how to keep the ten
Commandments of God, teaches that
the first comand nent forbids all su-
perstitions and superstitious practis
es, as any one can verify by examin
ing the catechism taught to Catholics
And, by the way, this little book costs
only five cents, and cne would thinf
that writers could afford to inform
themselves of what the Catholic
church really teaches. before they
rush blindly to insult large and law
abiding body of fellow Christians.
And finally the Catholic doctrine
taught in Cuba, as I know from per
sonal experience, having lived there
many years, is exactly the same doc
trine that the Catholic church has
taught from the times of the apostal
es, and is now teaching in all parts
of the world. For it is the glory OF
the Catholic church that she has pre-
served intact the deposit of faith left
to the apostles, neither adding to it,
nor taking away from it.
I'm the interest of Christian justice
and charity we should remember the
commandment: Thou shalt not bear
false witness against thy neighbor, -
which forbids, not alone prejury, but
also slander, calumny and all false
statements. A Catholic.

MILLIONS OF SOLDIERS ON THE
BATTLE LINE

The conditions under which the
great battle between the Germans and
the allied forces probably will be
fought are made the subject of an Of
fetal communication issued by the
French Minister of War this after
noon. By it's development and the
nature of the ground over which the
battle will be waged, the communica-
tion says, this vast engagement will
differ profoundly from the battles of
other times.
"By reason of the abandonment of
the attack which the Germans planned
against Nancy says the communica-
tion, "our concentration has been car
ried out with regularity and in its
entirety, and thus the whole of the
German forces with the exception of
those German troops concentrated on
the eastern frontier of the Empire.
"The violation of the neutrality of
Belgium has extended the Belgian and
French lines to the frontier of Hol
land. The. next battle, therefore will
be from Basle to Maastricht, with
several million of men on each side.

The foe like one vast living sea

He dreamed that none his tide would

But when he bade her to make way

Nay. NO' J."

She held the pass, she barred the

Are sung mid joy and tears and

Her glory shall to the ends of earth
Resound.

Lonely she stood. but undismayed.
Resplendent was the part she played
And pure.
Praise be her heroes. proud her sons:
She threw her souls into the gunsi
Her name shall with the loveliest
