ings have all been well attended
Catholic educators have been brought
together from all parts of the country,
and an esprit de corps has resulted
from these conventions that has en-
abled Catholic educators to deal with
their problems in the spirit of unity
and cooperation.
'As new problems are continually
arising there is need of some means
of making our teachers cognizant of
them, and the Association is one of the
means of enabling the educator to
learn the things that are of immediate
and important interest in the educa-
tional field
1T is also the province of the Asso-
citation, through means of its conyen-
tions and the notable addresses deliv-
cred at them, to hold aloft the ideals
of religious education, and to en-
phasize the fundamental principles of
all sound education.
Many of our educators are COM
PEELED to make great sacrifices, and
the enormous outlay Of public expen-
ditures for educational purposes, some
times tends to discourage the teacher;

imperative for the development of our
educational activity, and our Catholic
men of wealth need to be instructed
in regard to the duties which the pos
session of wealth entails, neyerthe-
less, our teachers come to learn that
excellent work can be done by our
schools even though, in some cases,
they lack many material advantages" J"
Father Howard then briefly outlined
the work of the convention and men,
toned some of the problems that
would come up for discussion at the
st. Paul Convention. He made spe-
cial plea for the interest of the pastor
on whom so much of the welfare of
Catholic education in all it's depart
ments depends. He was greatly
pleased with the arrangements that
had been made, and gave his assur-
ance to the Archbishop and the clergy
that the convention would be all that
couldbe desired.
The convention will open with Sol
emn Pontifical Mass in the new Cathe-
dral of ST. Paul on Monday morning,
June %, at which the sermon will be
preached by the Most Reverend Arch
bishop Ireland. The sessions of the
convention will be held in the new
Cathedral school, which offers excep-
tional facilities in this regard in the
way of accommodations and quarters
for holding the meetings of the diff
ferent sections. The convention will
continue in session for four days and
will close with public meeting for
the benefit of the citizens at large and
of all who are interested in educa-
tional problems. Prominent speakers
will be secured to deliver addresses
on that occasion and special mu-
sical program will be rendered.

During the war with Morocco
French Catholics lamented the fact
that their sons had to die without the
consultations of religion. In this
gigantic struggle the Government has
not dared to refuse chaplains.
Besides the chaplains, there are
10000 priests in the French army.
Along with these we might mention
5000 Brothers. Altogether there are
$4,000 priests in this European war,
and seven bishops.
The fact of the matter is that Satan
has been beaten at his own game.
Whereas the enemies of religion
thought that universal military con-
scription would weaken and gradually
destroy the Church, the presence of so
many priests is a source of religious
revival.
Young priests write home and tell
how they lead in prayer, say the
rosary, and hear confessions in the
trenches. Clericalism is no longer the
enemy. Socialists and unbelievers
loose their foolish theories somewhere
between the whiz Of two bullets, and
find the faith of their childhood with
/ joy.
Death exacts heavy toll among the
officers. TO replace them the most
intelligent, the most daring, the most
seIf-sacrificing are chosen. This ex-
plains why SO many priests have adj
vanced i'm rank. One of the descend
ants of the so-calIed Italian patriot,
Garibaldi, has Jesuit as captain.
While on earth the Lord, arming
Himself with whip, chased some peo-
pie out of the temple. He seems to
have scourge in hand just now and
to be seriously bent on making Europe
remember that He is the Lord.
War is terrible thing. But suffer.
| ing brings humanity to its senses
Much good along religious lines has
been done already; and many there
are, who wish that Europe remain,
after the war, as deeply pious as it il
now.

YOUNG MEMS HOTEL
WILL OPEN SOON IN CINCINNATI
TO GIVE CATHOLIC YOUNG MEN
PROPER ENVIRONMENT AND
COMFORTABLE QUARTERS.

Representative Catholics of Cincin-
natl, Ohio, acting on an idea originat-
ed by Rev. Charles E. Baden, assist
ant pastor of Blessed Sacrament
Church, have set on foot movement
to establish a Catholic young mems
hotel or home, modelled after the l..
B, Harrison Hotel, an experimental
institution under non-sectarian man
agenlent now in existence for more
than a year in the Queen City. Three
hundred of the clergy and laity met
at the Hotel Sinton last week to dis
cuss the project, with the full approval
of Archbishop Moeller. 1t is planned
to. lease a building in the downtown
district, and fit out forty rooms as a
beginning, until a permanent structure
can be erected later. Father Baden
has offered to serve as chaplain of the
proposed institution, the aim of which
will be to give Catholic young men
proper environment and comfortable
quarters, at cost proportioned to in
dividual incomes. 1t is estimated that
from ten to fifteen thousand dollars
will equip the hotel, which will be
opened as soon as practicable, and a
fund will be started to meet the ex.
pense entailed. Archbishop MoelleT
will announce the directors of the pro
posed home shortly, and many contri
buttons were promised at the meeting
Father Baden will be treasurer of the
fund, and donors of $3.50 will have
their names inscribed on a coinmemo
rative tablet. Names of contributors
will be made public hereafter.

THE PRESENT WAR
AND RELIGION
THE EFFECTS OF A RELIGIOUS
REVIVAL ARE BEING FELT ON
THE BATTLEFIELD AND IN THE
TRENCHES.
written for The Catholic Bulletin b,
Paul Beaumont.)

All good people deplore the carnage
and bloodshed that now disgrace the
civilization of Europe; and, in disgust
at the sight of so much wanton
destruction, find consolation in the
faith and heroism of the men in the
trenches.
In our enlightened age war was i'm
possible. This was one of the illusions
put into song and sung by writer's as
they rocked humanity to sleep. The
official world had found the means of
an everlasting world-peace: the
tribunal of the Hague. But it
neglected one thing, and that an essen
tial thing. Italy and Holland did not
want the Pope represented at the
Hague Europe weakly acquiesced,
thinking that peace could exist with
out religion, and that the. national edi.
flee would stand, though Christ, the
cornerstone, were rejected.
In October, 1913, Pope Plus X made
this remark to the Superior General
|of religious order: The rulers OF
LuIOp6 udF6 oil SOAO NAu1S
Long ago pagans used to say that
Jupiter made crazy those whom he
wished to destroy Those who lose
themselves in the woods turn in a
circle. Is it. possible that humanity
with all its boasted wisdom, has
turned in circle for SO long time
and has now reached the point al
which nations of old found ruin?
The governments hold up theil
hands in horror at the sight of sc
much slaughter. Who started it.
They are all ashamed to assume tht
responsibility. The other side is the
cause of the war, and each side does
its utmost to persuade heaven OF twt
things: that the war was forced upoI
it, and that heavens advantage re
quires that it should come out vic
torious.

LATIoN OF $500.


There are 16,3O9,31O Catholics in the
United States according to the ad-
vance sheets of The Official Catholic
Directory published and copyrighted
by P. j. Kennedy & Sons of Barclay
Street, New York.
According to "The Official Catholic
Directory" the increase in the number
Of Catholics during the year 1914
amounts to 1926. Forty-four dioceses
report increases in the Catholic popu-
lation, forty archdioceses and dioceses
made no change in the population fig
ure and fifteen dioceses show de-
creases although three of the fifteen
showing decreases have given up ter
ritory for the establishment of the two
new dioceses of Eel Paso and Spokane.
Statisticians quoting Catholic statis-
tics usually deduct fifteen per cent for
children and infants, claiming that only
communicates should be counted. The
| impression is created, therefore, that
Catholic statistics are exaggerated.
| The editor of the Directory, Joseph I'll.
Meier, who has compiled the past ten
issues of .'The Official Catholic Direc-
tory claims that instead of being over
estimated the Catholic statistics are
underestimate and that the figure
| 16,309,310 is very conservative. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Meier at least ten per
cent ought to be added for floating"
Catholic population of which no record
can be kept.
The population statistics are always
the most important feature, showing as
they do the strides made by the Cath
olic Church in this country. Looking
back ten years it is found by compar-
ing the Directory of 1906 with the is
sue for 1915 that there has been an in
crease of 3,846,517 in the number Of
Catholics. Going back twenty years II
is seen that there has been an in
crease of 1921. .445 during the past two
decades.
The Official Catholic Directory bris-
ties with interesting facts and figures
| There are 1894 Catholic cIergymen
in the United States. OF these 14,0Os
are diocesan clergymen and 1886 are
lpriests of Religious Orders. The in
crease in the number of priests during
the past year is shown to be 426.

one finds that there have been 91(
Catholic churches established during
the past year. AT the present time

Last week the Rev. Francis w. How.
ard, LII. D., Columbus, Ohio, Secretary
General Of the Catholic Educational
Association, visited ST. Paul in the
interests of the National Convention
of the organization which is to be held
in this city the week of June %. He
held a conference with the members
of the Diocesan School Board, who
constitute the executive committee
in charge of the details of the coming
convention and outlined in a general
way what would be required of them.
On Wednesday afternoon, March 3,
a meeting of the pastors of the Twin
Cities and the Deans of the Diocese
was held in the st. Paul Seminary.
The Most Reverend Archbishop and
Bishop Lawler were present. The pur,
pose of the meeting was to learn
from DR., Howard what steps it was
necessary to take in order to insure
the success of the coming convention.
Before introducing Dr. Howard,
Rev. Thomas J. Gibbons, pastor of the
Church of st. Luke, st. Paul, and
Chairman of the Diocesan School
Board, spoke of the desire of the
Most Reverend Archbishop, the Rev,
erend Clergy, and the Catholic people
of the Diocese to make the national
meeting of the Catholic Association
to be held in st. Paul one of the most
important in the history of the or
ganization. st. Paul, he said, was
we'll equipped to receive the delegates
and would extend to them a royal well
come. AS an educational center the
Diocese of st. Paul is second to none
in the country and as the whole
Northwest is interested in the coming
convention, there is no doubt that it
will eclipse all previous meetings and
set standard for future conventions.
Father Gibbons introduced Rev. DR.
Howard, who stated that he felt con
fident that the meeting of the Catholic
Educational Association in St. Paul
would be a success that would be most
gratifying to everyone concerned with
the arrangements, and most encourag.
ing to every Catholic teacher and edu.
