to the west. The Germans are being
forced out Of this angle and are being
thrown back to the north toward the
Marn river. The German attempt to
turn their front and centre OF the al
LES from the east Is thus brought to
4 standstill. The allies are proving
their ability to hold the ground east
Of Paris and are demonstrating an
ability to take the offensive when at
tackled from the east instead Of the
north. Il is probable that for the first
time since the war broke out the
French are now working according to

HISTORIC TOWN DOOMED
CRUCES ON THE ISTHMUs OF
PANAMA WAS ONCE AN I'M
PoRTANT CENTER OF TRAFFIC
KNOWN AS VENTA CRUZ.

The Panama Canal Commission has
issued an order for the depopulation
of Cruces, one of the historic towns of
the Isthmus of Panama, and the aban-
donment of the little town, which in
the olden days was known as Venta
Cruz, has already begun. Cruces is
situated on the south bank of the Cha
gres river, little above the site where
will be located the official administra-
ton city of Gamboa. Most of the
buildings in Cruces are of the native
type, with bamboo walls and matched
roofs, the number of houses in the vii
lage numbering sixty, exclusive of the
church and the schoolhouse.
Cruces" the Bulletin of the Canal
Commission says, lis one of the Oldest
settlements on the isthmus and in
early times was known as Venta Cruz.
The origin of the town has been de-
scribed as follows:
1.-The first transit route across the
isthmus, for the transportation of gold,
silver and merchandise from the vari-
GUS Spanish colonies on the Pacific to
Spain, ran from the city of Panama
to Nombre de Dios, on the shores OF
the Caribbean. It was cut through the
forest and jungle, over mountain tops
and across mountain streams and was
roughly paved with stones. 1t ran
from Panama in a northeasterly direc-
ton for about twenty miles to point
on the Chagres river, which was given
the name of Venta Cruz, afterWard
changed to Cruces. Thence it extended
northward to Nombre de Dios.
"A line of posts was established
along the route. 1t was put in use in
1919 and was the sole route between
the two oceans until about 1885, when
the Chagres between Venta Cruz and

CATHOL|C UNIVERSITY
NOTABLE INCREASE IN ATTEND
ANCE-FoRTY STATES REPRE-
SENTED BY THE STUDENT
BoDY-RECENT ADDITIONS TO
THE LIBRARY WHICH NOW HAS
100000 VOLUMES.

The registration at the Catholic
University, Washington, shows nota-
BILE increase in the lay student body,
which has reached the figure of 80,
from nearly every State of the Union.
The ecclesiastics attending the Uni
versity number 240, making total of
$50 male students. Trinity College,
now affiliated to the University, has
10 students, and Teachers College
So, making in all a total of ITO stu
dents receiving instruction from the
professors of the University. The
Marist and Paulist preparatory schools
nearby have an attendance Of about
76. The Freshman registration has
reached 100, the largest class that has
yet entered the University. The stu
dents come quite equally from about
forty States, though there is a large
contingent from New England. A
good number come from Washington,
and among them a few non-Catholics,
including one Mormon student.
The University Library now holds
over one hundred thousand volumes,
among the new accessions being a
complete collection of works on Mary
land history and biography, given by
Michael Jenkins, Esq, of Baltimore,
and an exhaustive collection of books
and pamphlets on the Monumental
Brasses of England, fully illustrating
that beautiful chapter Of medieval
ecclesiastical art. The Library re-
ceives at present about $50 periodi-
Gals, most of which are complete,
forming a valuable nucleus of re-
search and investigation. From the
Rev. Father Hyvernat was received
recently the new edition of the Baby
lonian Talmud in two huge folios. The
University is grateful to DR.. Charles
P. Neill, ex-Commissioner of Labor,
former Professor of Political Econo-
my, for the gift of complete set of
the Reports of the immigration Com
mission in Al volumes, one of the
most important of our recent govern
ment publications.

the Atlantic, a distance of about thirty
six miles, was made navigable for
boats of light draft, and water route
was established between Venta Cruz
and Nombre de Dios. The land route
between these points was not aban-
'doned, however, but continued to be
used in connection with the water
route.
$50 we'll was the paving laid that
parts of it remain in position today,
and the entire trail from Panama city
to Cruces is open and is used by the
natives as highway for pack mules
and ponies"
The paving of the road referred to is
said to have been the work of Francis
co Pizzaro the conqueror of Peru. A
tollgate is said to have been set up in
the village in the latter half of the
eighteenth century, and all traffic be-
tween the two oceans passed through
and paid tribute to Cruces.
According to the report made by
Bancroft" the Panama Canal Record
states, con the fiscal regulations and
commercial decline of the Spanish
946 pesos de orc were registered as
passing through the Casa at Cruces,
while more than 100000 were Snug
gled across.

Morgan and his men assembled the
river to Cruces. Esquemeling speaks
of it as follows:
''Thus they proceeded on their jour-
ney till noon, at which. time they ar
rived at a village called Cruz. s. s. +"
This village is seated in the latitude
of 9 degrees and 2 minutes north,
being distant from the Fort of Chagre
twenty-six Spanish leagues and eight
from Panama Moreover, it is the last
place to which boats or canoes can
come, for which reason they built here
storehouses wherein to keep all kinds
of merchandise, which hence to and
from Panama are transported upon
the backs of mules.
"Messrs. Sosa and Arce, local his
torians, note that the Chagres river
was first explored from it's mouth to
the interior, probably to about where
Cruces now is, by Captain fernando
de la Serna and the pilot Pablo Corzo
between April and 10, 1927.
"Following the construction of the
Panama railroad Cruces entered upon
a period of decadence which has
existed until this day"

GREAT MEN AND THE ROSARY
DAILY RECITATION OF THIS
DEVOTION WAS HABIT
OF MANY.

1t is sometimes said that the beads
is a devotion only fit for women. You
are about to see how true that is:
The illustrious Bossuet, one of the
greatest geniuses of the time of Louis
XIV, not only recited the rosary as
siduously, but also had himself en-
rolled in the Confraternity of the Holy
Rosary, at the Dominican Convent, in
the Rue st. Jacques, in Paris, on the
10th of August, 1880.
In his train we range all the in
stitutors or reformers of modern con-
gregations; st. Francis de Sales, st.
Vincent de Paul, the Blessed Jean
Baptist de La Sale, the learned Car
dinal de Berulle, the pious Olier,
founder and first superior of the Sem
mary of St. Sulpice, with a crowd of
others. Better than that, the kings
and great ones of the world have imi-
tated these celebrated men. I can
England, the Emperor Charles the
Fifth, Sigismund and Cashier, Kings
of Poland, st. Louis, Francis the
First, Louis XIV, Louis XVI, and sew
eral other kings of France, who made
public professions of that devotion.
Father de la Rue, learned religi-
GUS of the Company of Jesus, relates
that one day, being admitted to an
audience by Louis XIV, he found him
saying his beads. The religious could
not helm showing his sI1rnriSa "VO1
appear surprised" said the King, ito
see me saying the rosary; glory in
saying it; it is pious custom which l
have from the Queen, my mother, and
should be sorry to miss a single day
without discharging that duty" How
beautiful is this! how admirable, dear
friends! Let us not be ashamed, then,
of a devotion which has been that of
so many great men.

NJ MEMORIALS OF CATHOuCITY
FOUND IN GREAT BOOK AM
CHURCH, IN SURREY, ENGLAND
date FROM THE TWELFTH
CENTURY,

During the course of some repairs
at Great Bookham Church, Surrey,
England, under the superintendent
of Mr.. Philip M. Johnston, an archi-
tect, two little windows dating from
the latter part of the eleventh CEN
fury were discovered and opened up.
They appear in the spandrels of the
north arcade of the nave, which arcade
was pierced through the original ex-
ternal north wall to form an aisle
about 1880. The windows were then
blocked up, and one of them, the east
ernmost, on being opened out, was
found to be completely covered with
elaborate coeval painting, in patterns
of box-pleating, zig-zags, and bands,
which, owing to it's having been walled
in for over 700 years, is almost as
fresh as when executed probably at
the close of the twelfth century.
1t is hoped that careful search will
bring to light more paintings, and,
perhaps, other blocked-up windows.
The little painted window is one of
the best and most perfect examples
of it's date and type that can be seen
anywhere. Great Bookham Church
was a possession of Chertsey Abbey,
whose great building abbot, John de
Rutherwyk, rebuilt the chancel in
1341, as it attested by the fine dedi-
catory inscription cut in a stone in
the east wall.

FIRST CHURCH IN CHICAGO
CATHOLIC CHURCH ESTABLISHED
IN 1888 BY FATHER ST. cYR.

In an article in the Record-Herald
on Chicago's First Christmas" the
writer says:
There were four church organiza-
tions here in 1888. Of these the
Roman Catholic was the first estab-
lished, the Presbyterian was second,
the Baptist third and the Methodist
fourth. By petition of the Catholic
citizens of the town, representing 12O
persons, Father st. Cyr was sent here
from st. Louis to establish church.
He arrived here on May 1, 1888, and
the first Mass was said on May 5 in
a log cabin twelve feet square near
the corner of Lake and State Streets.
This was the first church built in Chi
cago."

Reverend J. NJ. Reardon,

st. Paul, MINI.
Dear Reverend Father:
The Index of The Catholic Encyclo-
pedia is in process and it will be fin
ished in February.
1t is true that we had been working
on this Index for fully five years be-
fore the completion of the work itself
1t is also true that we expected that
we could finish it within six months
after the completion of the fifteen vol
umes. To do it properly, however, we
have had to take more time than we
could have foreseen. It is a painstak-
ing task; but / think the owners of
the Encyclopedia will be amply re-
warded for waiting patiently until it's
appearance.
With best wishes,
Sincerely yours,
CONDE B. PALLEN,
President.
