DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
ALCOHOLISM IN FRANCE.

ut is impossible for me to close this
report writes NJ Mirman, Director Of
the Bureau of Public Hygiene, French
Ministry of the Interior, in his Official
Report for 1911, without calling your
attention anew to the nefarious in
fluence of alcoholism. In perusing a
report of sanitation, a reader not adj
vised might imagine that this evil is
negligible, since it's harmful results
are not classed under any one head
That is just one of the essential rea-
sons which make this peril one OF the
most threatening which menace a ma
ton. To measure it, it would be
necessary to take each cause Of de-
cease, and search out in what proper
ton alcoholism facilitating the Or
ganism, weakening its possibilities Of
natural defense, has aggravated the
malady and assumed a heavy part OF
the responsibility for the death. Such
an immense search, of purely medl-
cal order, is impossible for the statis-
tician. But we must call attention to
the similarity existing between the
departments where most deaths occur,
and where the most alcohol is con-
sumed. How ignore the fact that, in
consistently in large number Of
cases, alcoholism is the forerunner of
tuberculosis? How can we help being
struck by the large number of violent
deaths (29,163 in 1919 where alcohol
n1oUc CO V1rnYr0innnf ort0
we escape being moved, to read that
24,245 children died of "congenitaI
debility" and rejecting that the very
large majority of this number is COM
posed of victims of alcohol? How can
we think without sadness Of all those
immense number of those whom the
development of the public service and
private means of assistance as well
as the general progress of instruction
and of science might have saved, had
not all their means of protection and
of defense been checked by the evil
influences which the inveterate alco-
holism of the father, and sometimes,
alas! of the mother, has inflicted
upon them?
''The public services of hygiene,
limited as they are, would without
doubt have produced better results
had not France found herself in a.
situation, unknown in such gravity
among neighboring nations, of having
to. fight against perfidious and pow
erful enemy which nourishes all the
germs of death in fruitful soil. May
the efforts put forth lately to fight
against alcoholism be courageously
pursued, for it is a question of the
public health"
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1914-08-15

virulence. The leading nations of
Europe have long been jealous of
one another. They have been
quietly adding to their war equip
ment, strengthening their fortifi-
cations, increasing their armies
and navies, and under these cir
cumstances, a decisive conflict
could not long be deferred. The
alleged cause of the war is moth
ing more than a pretext, a spark
thrown into the fuel already pre-
pared in anticipation Of such a
psychological moment.
The people of America are
keenly interested in the struggle
and its outcome. They will, how
ever, take no part in it as a ma
ton. The United States has no
grievance against any Of the pow
ers now at war and it will main
tain strict neutrality. This is
the only logical position for it to
take, and meets with the entire
approval of the American people,
made up, as they are, Of repre-
sentatives of all the nations.
While the sympathies of each ma
tionality will naturally be with
the country to which it is al
lied by ties of kindred, there
should be no overt expression of
national feeling such as would
give rise to local feuds and jeo-
pardize the amicable relations ex-
listing between the different ma
tionalities in this country. All
should endeavor to live together
in peace, manifesting towards one
another the same kindly feeling
that characterized their relations
prior to the outbreak of hostili-
ties. This is the only reasonable
course to take. Any other will
be productive of discord and mis-
understanding, if not actual ha-
tired and, perhaps, bloodshed.
The duty of Catholics, espe-
cially, no matter how diverse their
national sympathy may be, is to
heed the solemn words of the Holy
Father who exhorts them to pray
for peace and concord among
nations and for the cessation Of
the terrible scourge of war which
threatens to devastate Christian
lands, and which must of necessi-
ty result in a great loss of human
lives. They should petition the
Prince Of Peace to touch the
hearts Of the opposing leaders and
arouse them to a realization of the
fact that it is more in keeping
with their Christian professions
to seek peace with honor than to
Stay ten thousand foes.

CATHOLIC TEMPERANCE SENTI.
MENT SPREADING.

Madaline Donnellon, of Cincinnati,
is the founder and national organizer
of the Catholic Women's Auxiliary of
the Anti-Saloon League of America.
Miss Donnellon is giving largely of
her time and money to arousing the
Catholic Church to action against the
saloon, and her slogan, mo saloon
within the shadow of the Cross" APP
peals strongly to devout Catholics.
Miss Donnellon made trip through
the East recently and tells of the in
creased temperance sentiment among
the Catholics in a letter of which the
following is an extract:
"In a tour of the Eastern states
was gratified to find large per-
centage of Catholics are supporting
the anti-liquor movement. In every
walk of life the sentiment against the
saloon is sweeping unchecked. In
New Haven, Connecticut, we organ
lied a society of Jealous Catholic men
and women and valuable assistance
was given us by Protestant friends
working in unison with the Catholic
clergy.
I'm New York went to st. Michael's
Church on 34th Street, and while
waiting for one of the Fathers, uni
formed policeman came in, saying the
captain gave him the alternative of
resigning from the force or severing
his connection with the saloon /
used my persuasive power to good
effect, for he took the pledge for life.
went through the factory districts
where the saloon was plying it's trade
of robbing the wage-earner of the
support due his helpless children.
Managers of plants are realizing they
must assume the role of sentinels for
the protection of the workingman and
his family from the snares of the
saloon"
With Catholic reinforcements loom
ing in sight, we are on the eve of
laying the cornerstone of a dry Re-
public. = -A,,o,,co, Lssyo

pathy in its zeal for outsiders.
But this lack Of definite teaching
is the very thing that is thinning
their depleted ranks, and causing
the decay of the last remnants of
Christianity in large sections of
this country. Intelligent men
who come to Church to worship
God and hear His word, are only
distressed and repealed by the
cloudy or the sensational rhetoric
that they have to listen to. And
the constant stream of abuse,
levelled at the only Church that
holds her own by fearless preach
ing of a definite message from
God to man, reacts against the
very men and bodies that make
that abuse their stock-in-trade.
1t wounds and kills all religion.
The sects are never definite and
specific, in pulpit or in press, ex-
cept when they SANDER the Cath
Ollie Church, her priests and nuns,
and then they take good care to
steer clear of the very lax law
of libel. And this conduct they
call religious. No wonder Ameri-
cans, with their instincts of fair
play, courtesy and broad-minded-
ness, do not want that sort of re-
ligion. And the Evangelical gen.
tlemen may as well make up their
minds that it is not wanted in
Europe or in Mexico either.
Real religion is needed here and
everywhere. Let the jealous folk
who want to evangelize the
heather abroad, see that there be
few heathens at home, before they
start out on their travels. Let
them try to exercise a little COM
mon sense, a little clear thinking,
little humble prayer that they
may have some real religion them
selves before they proceed to pry
into the affairs of anybody else, at
home Or abroad. That is where
they ought to begin their cam
paign and their crusade.

EDUCATION IN ST. PIERRE
PUPILS OF CATHOLIC SCHOOLS
SHOW GREATER PROFICIENCY
THAN THOSE OF PUBLIC
SCHOOLS-LEAD IN GOVERN
MENT EXAMINATION

In the Islands of st. Pierre and Mi
queen off the southern coast of New
foundland, the only French posses
sions in Canada, the Catholic Church
is doing the work the Master gave to
her when He said: Going therefore
teach all nations" The work is two
fold-the knowledge of God first of all
then the knowledge required by man
to use the things of this world and to
perfect himself in them SO that he
may turn them to Gods glory and to
the salvation of his soul. There are in
all SIS pupils attending the schools in
Saint Pierre. They are divided as
follows-in the public schools 1875
boys and IS girls. For these are IL
teachers. In the Catholic or parochial
schools there are 10 boys under the
direction of three Sisters and three
lay teachers. The girls in the Catho-
lie schools are divided as follows, 80
in the Academy, taught by Sisters, 125
in the graded school, also taught by
the Sisters, who have charge of 30
children, also, in the kindergarten.
This gives the number of 245 girls in
the Catholic schools. There are there
fore in the public school 135 boys, and
10 in the Catholic school, giving a
majority of % to the public school.
With the girls the case is different.
Under the Sisters there are in all 245,
in the public school IS, giving a
majority of $50 to the parochial school.
Taking the whole numbers, we find
345 pupils in the parochial schools, and
220 in the public or 135 more in the
Catholic schools. Similar conditions
exist in Miqueton.
How do these schools succeed in
the examination? In 1918, 4 boys
from the parichial school received the
Government School Certificate as
against from the public school-two
girls from the Catholic school re-
ceived the French Government license
to teach and one only from the public
school. All these examinations were
presided over by the Government
School Board. This is good show.
ing for the Catholic school supported
by the faithful as are our schools In
the United States. The public schools
are of course maintained by the
taxes.

THE WAR OF WARS.

The whole of Europe is afame
with war The great powers are
actually engaged In the conflict
and the lesser ones which have so
far kept aloof are eagerly watch
ing the progress Of the fray. The
whole civilized world looks on
aghast at the scene and wonders
what the final outcome will be.
From present indications the
war will be the most momentous
and terrible in the annals of the
world. When we take into con-
sideration the number and stand
ing of the nations participating
In the struggle, the vast armies

consequences that are likely to
ensue, we dare not doubt that the
war is the most important ever
staged in the theatre of Europe.
No matter which side wins, great
changes geographical, CONNER
cial, economic and political must
follow. The war will not only
change the map of Europe but
will establish entirely new rela-
lions between the great powers of
the Old World.
Those who have kept In touch

in recent years are not surprised
at the war fever that has broken

it was established. At the time of
its suppression it had about $4,000
members priests, ecclesiastics,
and lay brothers-scattered all
over the world in colleges, semi
naries and mission stations. The
decree which put it out of exist
ence remained in force for forty
one years, or until 1914. Since
that time the Society has been
very active and has gained in
numbers and in influence. To
commemorate the centenary of its
restoration the Holy Father sent
a commendatory letter to the Gen
eral of the Order.
