Pastor Russell, of New York City,

Pastor Russell, of New York City,
in sermon last Sunday, made heavy
charge against the preachers whom
he accused of being responsible for
the. war. He indicted the Gear Of
Russia, King George of England and
Kaiser Wilhelm, representing the
Greek, the English, and the Lutheran
churches, respectively, for fomenting
trouble in their respective domains,
because each believed that he was
possessed of the divine right to de-
stroy every other nation not conform
ing with his own religious views. The
neglect, he says, of the ministers of
the religions mentioned to foster
Christian brotherhood and to preach
nothing but narrow, bigoted Chris
tianity has much to do with the racial
hatred of Europe. Pastor Russell is
the exponent of syndicated religion.
BY no means can he be accused of
harboring Catholic tendencies. We
allow the words of his indictment to
pass current among those who believe
as he believes, but 1t is plain from
all the facts that, in the anti-Catholic
world, there is strange dissention and
in the modern dark ages which relig-
ious prejudice has brought upon itself
those who are not really searching for
right are advertising their "holier than
thou" claims.

POLES IN AMERICA.

Like the Dutch under Spanish rule,
and the Irish under British. the Poles
may be said to have looked towards
the United States ever since Russia,
Prussia and Austria began to conspire
towards making the tripartite division
of their country. That Poles were
firmly settled in America as early as
1913 is certain, and the famous family
Of Zborowskf was q prominent owner
of land in Hackensack as early as
1862. It was, however. during the at
tempt Of European autocrats in 1880
to bring about return to the feudal-
istic conditions which had prevailed
before the French Revolution and
Napoleon's day, that the first great
movement of the Poles towards the

LABOR BUREAUS AND AGENCIES

With the social conditions IN an un-
satisfactory state and winter near at
hand the labor problem threatens to
be one of the most pressing problems
confronting the nation at the present
time. Every center of population,
large or small, will have to deal with
the problem and the greater the CEN
ter of population the more difficult
the problem. The United States Com
mission on Industrial Relation is pro-
posing the plan of national labor ex-
change and requires every member of
an employment agency to file their
schedule of fees and bring private
labor agencies more under the con-
troll of the state and city bureaus.
Those who are engaged in placing
laborers in positions hold very re-
sponsible place in the social welfare
of the community and there is every
reason for making them responsible
to the community for their transac-
lions. The labor bureaus should re.
ceive much attention at the present
time when such abnormal conditions
prevail as at present. The respon-
sibility of labor bureaus is greater
now than it has been in years and
every care should be taken that those
seeking employment should be pro-
tected because of the great demand
for positions and the scarcity of en-
ployment. Loan agencies and labor
agencies generally reap their harvest
when social conditions are abnormal,
when work is scarce and laborers are
plentiful. In the interest of those
who are so unfortunate as to be with
out positions with winter close at
hand, every effort should be bent
toward safeguarding their interests
and insuring them protection wherever
possible.

REDMOND AND THE WAR OFFICE.

REDMOND AND THE WAR OFFICE.
Information from many sources had
reached America regarding the activ-
ity of the leader of the Nationalist
party in recruiting volunteers for the
English army. The attempt to raise
Irish brigades has not been entirely
successful. The Irish papers, which
appear among our exchanges, contain
numerous accounts of arrests made
because of the part taken by those
who were attempting to discourage
the enlistment of the young men of
Ireland in the English army. Numer-
GUS incidents are cited where the
hand of the law has severely dealt
with those who have attempted to in
fluence the young men OF Ireland
against accepting the Kings shilling"
Now comes the information from a
correspondent of the London Chron-
icle that Mr.. Redmond is encouraging
the enlistment of the young men of
Ireland with some opposition from the
war office. Analysing the opposition
of the war office, the correspondent
explained that it is for political rea-
sons and explains that If Sir Edward
Carson can get his army trained for
him while Mr.. Redmond is unable to
get an army among the Nationalist,
that when the war is over Carson will
be master of the situation and Ulster
will be in position to dictate Its
terms more effectively. The state
ments made in the Daily Chronicle,
however, grave the political reasons,
are not entirely borne out by the facts.
England wants the Irish to go to war
and this new information, which seems
to emanate from the war Office may
be simply taken as another movement
ON the part of the British government
to arouse the patriotism of the Irish
to gain moral victory over Carson
by saving their country, as 1t would be
explained to them, in the time OF
need. ireland has already paid the
debt and even this new movement
should not cause any anxiety among
the Nationalists, II the national volun-
teers remain at home, perfect their
organisation, and defend themselves,
not against Germany or Austria, but
against their ancient enemy, they will
have less to fear.

ENGLAND AND ATROCITIES.

Just now England is In mOurnful
state of mind If the British press Is to
be believed because of the alleged
cruelties practiced by the German SOL
diers, the manner In which England
has espoused the cause of the Belgians
after the Belgian people have sacri-
feed their country to save England
and France arouses suspicion. Recall
ing the atrocious acts of England
against the Irish people and comparing
them with the libels which are being
perpetrated against Germany by the
British Press the Newark, N. j., Mont
tor says:
We had just read the horror of the
English press and people over the a.
trocities of the Germans in Belgium.
We confess that the sacking and de-
struction of Louvain gave us thrill
of-anger and horror. We imagine that
the Emperor of Germany has regretted
the event more than anyone else. But
we cannot believe that the soldiers Of
Germany, nor the Allies, INDUCED in
the atrocities with which each charges
the other, though we may be certain
that individual and monstrous inhu-
mainly may have happened. Putting
aside our paper, we opened volume,
bound to have a wide reading, "The
Happy Irish," by Harold Begbie, an
Englishman and a non-Catholic. In
that volume we read this passage
and it transferred our horror to the
very nation now sitting so critically
on it's adversary:
"Not only did the English destroy
crops and drive cattle into their own
camps, that the Irish might be starved.
but they deliberately and with cunning
purpose, made great slaughter of in
fants. The terrible phrase, almost the
most terrible phrase in human records.
'Nits will be lice,' was the laughing.
murderous and devilish justification
for this slaughter of babes. The steel
of England's might ran red with the
blood of Irish infancy. Lips that had
not learned to speak human word,
lips that knew nothing more than to
hang contented at the circle Of the
mothers breast, were twiched with
agony, uttered screams of desperate
pain and grew purple in the wrench
of violent death. Little feet that had
but lately got the trick Of balance ran.
stumbled, and fell before the smoking
swords OF most inhuman murderers.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Comment On Father Judges Article
On Cause Of European War.

Editor of the Standards:
Father Judge, s. j., after quoting
the expressions Of the statesmen of
the nations now at war, all declaiming
for peace, asks, who is responsible?
because the trained Jesuit knows that
this war is as surely the result of
cause, as ever effect was of cause.
l will answer then: England. Find
ing that Germany, by her great genius
in the arts of war, as we'll as of peace,
was fast outstripping her on land and
sea.
England organized Europe and a
part of Asia for her destruction; pre-
cisely as she organized Europe against
Napolean just a hundred years ago,
and strangely the present struggle
centers around the spot where Ma
poleon was conquered.
I need not recite England's treaties
with France, Russia and Japan. Did
she not show a master-stroke of diplo-
macy when she sent James Bryce, an
Irishman and home ruler, to entice
the United States into a treaty, vir-
tually against Germany?
II Father Judge should ask what
will be the outcome of this war? Will
Germany be, conquered or will Eng
lands supremacy be destroyed; or,
yet, will the war open Europe's gates
to the hordes of Asia, I cannot an
swer, but as to the cause of the war it
is so clear that any close student of
English history and English diplomacy
can make no mistake about it.

mon, as they have been doing every
Sunday afternoon during the last sum-
mer.
"The society is founded upon the
teachings of the church as set forth
in the encyclical of Leo XIII. When
meeting the enemy face to face, on
the soap box or on Pemberton Square
or on Boston Common or in our indoor
forums, we give the public chance
to see that our principles are based
upon right reason and that we are able
to back up the faith that is in u.s.
The Denver Catholic Record says Of
street preaching:
IF number of our young laymen
would band together and spend short
time in studying and rehearsing, and
then 60 out periodically and occupy
corners in various parts of the town,
just like Socialists and other labor
agitators, they might accomplish an
infinite amount of good. Their audi
ences would be limited, but the public
would be convinced that the church
was the most wide-awake institution
on earth, and a few might be led to
investigate it further"
The October number of the Mission.
airy in commenting on street preach
ing says:
But quite different from this un-
available method for fulfilling our Sa-
vior's command, Go out into the high
ways and hedges and compel them to
come in, that my house may be filed
Nuke xiv. 23), is the use of street
signs, wagons with big streamers, even
with brass bands, rallying the street
people to attend church services. Such
expedients as these are we'll known
to missionaries and often used by
them, the great wagons principally for
recruiting attendance at Catholic mis-.
sions, and the big signs and trans
parencies for winning attention to
both kinds Of missions.
There is an open.air apostolate.
however, which is not exactly street
preaching. 1t is the use of some
chosen spot in city park, or field
in the country, into which people may
be readily drawn from the neighbor-
ing highways and hedges This has
long been the custom in England fully
described by Mr.. Gerard A. Reynolds
in recent issue of the Ave Maria, who
explains that many social and religious
Tor irreligious) movements make use
of this kind of propaganda. The like
of this has been done in America be-
fore now, and with good results for
both Catholics and mono Catholics, but
not systematically and as regular
feature of the church's work. Every
city in the land has parks and squares
and wharves admirably fitted for sum-
mer afternoon meetings. The audi
ence is to be had for the asking, and
excellent preachers, both clerical and
lay, will not be wanting, though it may
be said in conclusion that among our
English brethren, laymen are exclu-
sively engaged in this attractive and
fruitful work.

AMERICA AND FOREIGN MISSIONS.

N"6otNA ANU eOneI6N MISSIONS.
The United States can now boast
OF an American seminary, whose in.
terests and energies are devoted to
the work of foreign missions. The
first priest to be ordained from this
new seminary was the Rev. Daniel
Leo McShane. His ordination took
place in the Cathedral in New York
on November 10th. The ordination of
this young man for work in the for
eign mission field marks a new devel-
opment of Catholic life in the United
States. Heretofore nearly all the
missionaries for foreign mission work
have been from France or Belgium
and, in more recent years, from Ger
many, Holland and the British Isles,
while the Catholics in the United
States had practically no representa-
ton in the foreign mission fields. The
new American seminary was estab.
lished by the Hierarchy to meet this
need. It is a significant coincidence
that the first ordination should take
place while the nations of Europe are
engaged in war. France has given
special attention to the foreign mis-.
sion field and the French missionaries
are renowned the world over for their
zeal and devotion. Here in the North
west we have every evidence on every
hand of the zeal and devotion of the
French missionary priests. But the
government of France has summoned
back to their native country for war
several hundred of French missionar-
les. Many of these will give up their
lives on the fields of battle while the
colleges in which they were educated
are being destroyed or turned into
barracks and hospitals. Thus it will
easily be seen that the mission field
for America is very important one.
The interest in the new American
seminary for foreign missionaries will
go far to prove that the Catholic young
men of America who are willing to
devote their lives to the service of
God are capable of making as great
sacrifices for the cause of God and
His church as their brothers from
the seminaries of Europe.
