HEROIC NUN DECORATED
MOTHER STE. LUcIE DECORATED
BY KING FOR SERVICES
IN INDIA.

On his last birthday, George ", King
of England, conferred on Mother Ste.
Lucie, Provincial of the Sisters of
Jesus and Mary, Agra, India, the
medal Kaiser | Hind for services
rendered in India.
This great honor is highly deserved
by the humble religious who has de-
voted sixty years of her life to the
noble cause of education in India.
She left the Motherhouse of the Con-
gregation in Lyons, France, in 1854.
Such voyage to India at that time
was very perilous and the route eX-
tremely long, for Mr.. Ferdinand de
Lesseps, who travelled with them as
far as Alexandria, had not as yet be-
gun to dig the Suez Canal.
When the nuns reached Bombay
their sufferings were not ended. The
voyage to Agra required six more
weeks and the only vehicles then in
use were carts drawn by oxen. The
route was dangerous, but Mother Ste.
Lucie and her companions were brave
and cheerfully endured the numerous
| inconveniences and inevitable priva-
lions of the long journey until at last
| they reached Agra, where their Sisters
we're awaiting them in their convent
founded in 1841.
About three years after their ar
| rival the instruction of the natives
with all it's horrors broke out, oblig.
| ing the Sisters and their pupils to
seek shelter in the fortress of Agra,
where they spent six weary months
During the following years Mother
Ste. Lucie witnessed the terrific raw.
ages caused by the famine and the
cholera and attended the poor victims
of the disease with untiring attention
The cholera over, she worked for
years, first in the Irish military
orphanage and later in the native or.
phanage, then in the boarding school
| for European young ladies, until she
was named Reverend Mother Provin
cial Thus she extended her kind in
f1uence over all the houses of India
where the Congregation now counts
fourteen institutions. Her long years
of interchangeable labor, her utter for
getfulness of self, her cheerfulness
and courage and her fearless attitude
in danger have won for her not only
the confidence of the natives of differ
ent casts, but the esteem and affection
of all the Europeans with whom she
had to deal. Numerous are the wives
and mothers and grandmothers in far
off India who owe their present happi
ness to the counsels received from
Mother Ste Lucie during the years
spent under her guidance and today
they rejoice with the whole Congrega
ton of Jesus and Mary for the honor
bestowed on one who has done sc
much to raise the standard of true
womanhood in India.

The COUNTRY PARISH PRIEST
WHAT THE CATHOLIC PASTOR IS
AMONG HIS PEOPLE.


The following words were written
years ago by French poet. They
are an admirable pen-picture of Catho-
lie pastors the world over
There is man in every parish who,
having no family, belongs to family
that is worldwide; who is called in as
a witness, a counsellor and an actor in
all the most important affairs of civil
life. No one comes into the world or
goes hence without his ministrations
He takes the child from the arms of
his mother and parts with him only

crates the cradle, the bridal chamber,

The CHURCH IN GEYL8A
CATHOLIC POPULATION is PAP, 176
SO MISSIONS, 2,o4e PUPILS
IN CATHOLIC SCHOOLS.

The total Catholic population of the
Archdiocese of Colombo, Ceylon, is
242,176, divided into fifty-nine mis-
sions. The largest of these is the
Cathedral parish, where five Oblate
Fathers minister to the spiritual wants
of 1851 Catholics. This great Catho-
lie center has nine schools, two Eng
lish, one Anglo-yernacular school for
girls and three boys and three girls
vernacular schools. Six Catholic YER
nacular schools in one parish in Co
lombo.
The two English schools, colleges in
local parlance, st. Benedict's, conduct
ed by the Christian Brothers, for boys,
and the Convent of the Sacred Heart
conducted by Irish nuns of the Good
Shepherd order are among the fore
most educational institutions of Cey-
lon. The total number of pupils in
Catholic schools in the parish is 2,O49,
of whom 1,773 are Catholics, a very
satisfactory figure, showing a proper
ton of one to nine of the entire Cath
Ollie population.

the present world, he will assuredly
do much to bring before the modern
mind vision of Catholic life in such
way that many will most readily
appreciate it.
But If the study of Mediaevalism by
Catholics is a duty they owe the non.
Catholic world, it will be equally bene-
fetal to Catholic like itself. What
the Catholic body of the present day
has lost in the neglect of the Middle
Ages is but little understood except
by those who know the wealth OF
thought, the beauteous idealism and
the liberty of soul which are found in
Medieval religious literature, and
so much of Medieval literature is
religious.

Catholics from marrying non-Catho-

the Catholic who marries non-Cath-

this, but he is living in concubinage.
He is not married. AS one who was

VANDERBILT GAVE LIFE
IN PROTECTING WOMAN

London.-Thomas Slidell, of
New York, who was interviewed in
London, said he saw Alfred
Gwynne Vanderbilt on the deck of
the Lusitania as the vessel was
going down.
Mr.. Vanderbilt, who could not
swim, was equipped with a life
belt, but he gallantly took it off,
Mr.. Slidell said, and placed it
around the body of a young wom-
an. Then he went off to seek an
other life belt. The ship sank
few seconds later. Mr.. Slidell said
that he and Herbert Stone, of New
York, We're sitting in the smoking
room by themselves when the first
torpedo struck the ship. Both
men intuitively knew what had
happened and they simultaneously
uttered the word torpedo"
Together they left the room and
went on deck, which already had
acutely tilted. Mr.. Stone made for
the upper side of the deck, while
Mr.. Slidell moved downward.
This was the last that Mr.. Slidell
saw of Mr.. Stone.
Subsequently he asked a num-
ber of survivors, but could not find
any one who had seen Mr.. Stone
thereafter.

HAD DEADLY GAS ON BOARD

Pittsburg, Penn.-Dr. John Braun,
a chemist and a graduate of the Uni
versity of Berlin, is authority for the
statement that the Lusitania carried
a large quantity of gas made in Pitts
burg, which caused the apparent suf
location of the passengers and crew,
which was supposed to have come
from the torpedo which sunk the
steamer. DR.. Braun said:
Material made in the Pittsburg dis
trict figured in the destruction of the
Lusitania. There was no conspiracy
here for that purpose, as has been
limited, but the shipment of certain
deadly war materials to the French
army from a Pittsburg district plant
made the blowing up of the vessel al
most a foregone conclusion, as l pre-
dicted four days before the event"
According to DR.. Braun, there were
250,G00 pounds of tetrachloride of tin
on board the Lusitania. 1t was con-
signed to the French Government for
the making Of gas bombs.

ON JOHN BULLS VESSELS
Former German Official Declares
"Americans Should Travel on
Ships Flying Their Flag"

New York.-Dr. Bernhard Dern-
burg, former Colonial Secretary Of the
German Empire, in talk with repre-
sentatives of the press here, reiterated
and emphasized statements he made
in Cleveland, holding that the German
government was justified in its action
of sinking the Cunard liner Lusitania.
DR.. Dernburg said that the act merely
showed the determination of Germany
in carrying out it's announced policy
Of preventing any ships carrying mu-
nitions of war and supplies from
reaching British ports.
"The desire of the German govern
ment is to keep peace and continue
her friendly relations with America, "
said DR.. Dernburg.
II am sure that Germany regrets
the loss of life of Americans through
the sinking of the Lusitania, but suti-
cient warning was given.
Submarine Can Not Give Warning.
"In any incident such as the Lusi-
tania affair, submarine can not give
the necessary warning. The Lusitania
is a fast boat. 1t could speed out of
range of submarine in a short time.
For this reason the German govern
ment through it's embassy in Wash
ington gave the warning to Americans
before the ship sailed That was the
next best thing that could be done.
Every person seeking passage on
a vessel crossing the Atlantic can OBJ
! tain the information whether that yes.
sci is carrying munitions of war, and
, stands the chance of meeting the fate
the Lusitania met"
DR.. Dernburg indicated that Ger

ures by the embargo upon foodstuffs

with the officials of the Cunard line.

BREAKING OFF
WITH THE KAISER
PRESIDENT DEALING SINGLE.
HANDED WITH THIS MoMEN-
ToUs QUESTION.
ATTITUDE OF UNITED STATES
Collector Claims Lusitania Was Not
Armed-No Warrant for De-
struction Under Law.

Washington.-The Washington gov
ernment remained outwardly impas-
sive, "a hours of silence being the
only result on the destruction of the
Lusitania. President Wilson main
tanned his solitary study of the prob
lem presented to this government,
holding no conferences and making no
statement. The president went to
church, as usual, during the morning,
and then retired to his study. The
iron-bound solitude of the president
and his determination to deal single
handedly with momentous question,
the most sensible feature of official
conduct in Washington was further
emphasized
With quick appreciation of the fact
that the president at this moment is
commander in chief OF the destiny of
the United States, officials refrained
from comment. There is equally sharp
appreciation of the fact that the
silence which envelops the white
house covers a period of acute mental
stress on the part of the president.
President is Deeply Moved.
The president was deeply moved
by news of the disaster and is credited
with keen sense of it's grave posi-
bilities and heavy demands for action.
1t is probable that his purposes and
conclusions will not be made known
before the usual cabinet meeting. In
the absence of official information
speculation has turned upon possible
courses of action. On the assumption
that the presidents conclusions are
not unlike those of peace-loving public
men generally, it is indicated that the
Lusitania disaster will not be disposed
Of by mere interchange of diplomatic
notes. Action appears to be demanded
The most extreme action, war, is not
regarded as probability. Between
the two, the president, moving calmly,
but with an earnest purpose, indicated
by his single-handed devotion to the
problem, is expected to map out a
course of action no less significant be-

ture of diplomatic relations with Ger

BRAVE LITTLE MISS
SAVES A BOATLOAD
OF WEAK HUMANITY

Queenstown.-The brief time
elapsing between the torpedoing
and sinking of the Lusitania was
long enough to develop a heroine
in the person of Miss Kathleen
Kaye, fourteen years old, returning
from New York, where she had
been visiting relatives. With smil-
ing words and reinsurance she
aided stewards in filing a boat
with women and children. When
all were in she climbed aboard the
lifeboat as cool as any able sea-
man. One sailor tainted at his
oar, as the result of a hard race
to escape swamping. The girl took
his place and rowed until the beat
was out of danger. None among
the survivors bears as little sign
of her terrible experiences as Miss
Kaye, who spends most of her time
comforting and assisting her sis
ters in misfortune.

HUBBARD'SLAST LECTURE
Seemed To Tell own Fate-Spoke in
Lexington.

Lexington, Ky.-Lexington was the
last city in America in which Ebert
Hubabrd was heard on the lecture
platform before he sailed on the Lusi-
tania. He left Lexington for Cincin-
natl, where he spent several hours,
taking a train from there to New
York, where he caught the ship now
sunk. Hubbard's auditors recall the
story he told that night here in his
lecture, in which he seemed to proph-
esy his fate indirectly. He stopped in
the midst of his talk and told in hush
ed tones of the disaster to the Titanic,
describing her rushing along in igno-
rance of her impending fate, and re-
counting the death of his friends, Isl
dor Strauss and wife, and closed by
saying: "Isidor Strauss and his de-
voted wife not only learned the lesson
of life together, but they learned how
to die together-the crowning climax
of their happiness in married life. 1t
was a heroic DEATH
