COLLEGE OF ST. THOMAS
ANNUAL MILITARY INSPECTION
BY MAJOR MOSES SHOWS EFFl-
cIENcY or THE CADET CORPS
IN SCIENCE AND TACTICS -
SHAM BATTLE ON, MAY 21.

On Friday and Saturday, May 14th
and 18th, Major Andrew Moses of the
General Staff conducted the annual
military inspections of the College of
ST. Thomas. Friday morning was de-
voted to an examination of arms, ac-
coutrements and quarters. Owing to
inclement weather the corps formed in
the Armory, and there the inspector,
as he passed from rank to rank, inter-
rogated the cadets on military science
and tactics, showing by his close ques-
tioning the importance which he at
tached to their knowledge of actual
work in the field. The remainder of
the morning was consumed in an in
spection of the students rooms, the
arms-room, powder-house, etc.
In the afternoon the corps was
drawn up in the stadium. Besides the
nine companies, staff and band, it COM
prised the hospital corps, the engineer
corps, and the signal corps. The ma
noeuvers were those of close order
ef1y-regimental parade, battalion
etc. The hospital corps was examined
in first aid instruction, and the signal
corps was required to transmit and
receive messages. The various exer-
cises were followed with the keenest
interest by several hundred visitors,
who braved threatening skies to wit
ness the more spectacular portion of
the annual inspection. The occasion
was honored by the presence of Arch
bishop Ireland, who was accompanied
by Archbishop Redwood of New Zea-
land.
On Saturday morning the companies
marched a few miles south of the Col
lege and worked out two problems in
tactics set them by the inspecting
officer. In carrying out advance guard
and rear guard actions the officers of
the various companies were subjected
to severe test, being again interro-
gated on the manner of handling their
several organizatia.as in contingencies
outlined by the Inspector. A map OF
the country over which the operations
were conducted was made on the
ground by member of the topography
class. Major Moses brought the day s
exercises to a close by an inspection
of trench work completed by the com
panies during the present session.
On May 21st the College will fight
the University of Minnesota in a sham
battle. The College will take up a
position on the broken country south
of Fort Smelling, the task of the Uni
versity being to locate and dislodge
it. Major Moses and some of the off
GERS stationed at st. Paul will act az
Judges.

private property is valid. In this lat
ter respect he was a true successor
of the patriarchs, of Moses, and of the
personal property and furthermore
bought from Ephron for four hundred
sicles of silver "a field and the cave
that was in it for possession to bury
in" (Gen. XIII, 20). Isaac likewise
was rich in personal property and
furthermore from the children Of
Hemor bought for a hundred lambs
pitched his tents" (Gen. XXXIII, 19).
To Jacob was given by Pharao the
land of Gessen, as it is written; $50
Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, that
is, the land of Gessen, and possessed
it" (Gen. XLVII, 27). Moses began
and Gosue consummated the partition
of the promised land giving it mostly
by lot to tribes and families, but in
some cases directly to individuals.
That the great prophets, who invari-
ably arose in times of the worst COR
ruption, lashed with scathing invective
all kinds of oppression and extrava-
gance is true; that this fact does not
make them antagonists of the right of
private ownership, is clear from one ex-
ample. Elias, one of the most spiritual
of the prophets, is instructed by the
Lord to denounce Achab, not only for
numbering Naboth, but also for un-
justly seizing his vineyard. Thus
saith the Lord: Thou hast slain,
moreover also thou hast taken pos
session (Kings XXI, 19). In this re-
spect the underlying principles of the
New Testament are the same as those
of the Old. To the rich young man
Jesus did not say: IF thou will be
just, go abandon what thou hast; it
is theft" but He did say: IF thou
wilt be perfect, go sell what thou hast
and give to the poor, and come fol-
low me" Matt XIX, 21). These
divine words are invoked with all due
reverence, not to settle the question of
economics, but to show that the
words of st. Peter accord with the
words of Christ as well as with the
words and deeds of all his predeces-
lsOrs. The language, therefore, Of
fFIof. Graham ana OF all others, WHO
call the prophets and the first Chris
tians Socialists, with regard to the
right of private ownership is mislead-
ing. 1t is misleading also with regard
to perfect equality.

PLACE FOR RECREATION AND
STUDY UNDER THE DIRECTION
OF THREE PROFESSORS OF ST.
THOMAS COLLEGE PRoSPEc-
TUS ON APPLICATION.
(Communicated.)

The Lake Johanna Summer Camp,
during the summer of 1914, passed
successfully through the tentative
stage of it's existence. The Camp was
in operation for period of six weeks
and during that comparatively short
span of time it registered seventy
boys. It's patrons were naturally much
gratified as they observed from day to
day the rapid growth of its popularity
Many noted persons honored the
Camp with visit and were unani-
nous in their approval and loud in
their praises of its early success.
Encouraged by these circumstances
and thoroughly convinced that such
an institution is an absolute necessity,
the directors of the Lake Johanna
Summer Camp have decided to intro
duce some practical improvements,
A commodious dining-hall will be
erected Immediately. The plans al
ready decided upon call for build
ing thirty by forty feet, to which q
kitchen of ordinary size will be at
taehed The tents will be supplied
with the additional security of flies
which render them waterproof
against the heaviest transforms, and
the board flooring will be rendered
more substantial than it was last year
In regard to the cuisine, care viii
be taken to ensure entire satisfaction
An experienced army-cook will be in
constant attendance, and owing to the
close proximity of the Camp to the
Cities, groceries, ETC., will be deliver
ed daily.
The directors have just issued thu
first prospectus of the Lake Johanni
Summer Camp. 1t contains views o
the Camp-grounds and the surround
ing scenery. 1t likewise furnishes al
necessary information regarding dali
routine, equipment, and charges.

LAY ORDER IN IRELAND
KNIGHTS OF coLUMRANUS WILL
BE MODELLED AFTER KNIGHTS
OF COLUMBUS.

A movement is on foot in Ireland to
organize a fraternal society modelled
after the Knights of Columbus as they
exist in America. The new order will
be known as the Knights of st. Column
banus, named after the great Irish
saint who evangelical Switzerland and
northern Italy in the sixth century.
The new organization will be based
on the lines of the we'll known society
of American Catholics known as the
knights of Columbus, and the primary
qualification is that every member
must be practicing Catholic. A pre-
liminary council meeting was held in
Belfast recently at which it was stated
that several branches were in course
of formation, and that facilities would
be given to the members to study So
cial questions and to carry on the
Apostolate of the laity recommended
SO strongly by the present Holy Fa-
ther.
This year occurs the thirteenth cen
Itenary of st. Columbanus, the great
Irish saint who has such magnificent
shrine at Bobbio in Italy. 1t, there.
fore, seems fitting occasion to revive
in Ireland the memory of his merits
and his devotion to the Holy See, al
ways such a characteristic of his fel
low countrymen It is hoped by
November of this year to hold a gen
eral meeting of the Knights of st
lColumbanus, which will develop into
an annual reunion, and after the wal
lis over to organize a great nationa
pilgrimage led by the knights for 9
visit to his tomb and shrine in the
picturesque little bill city of Italy.

The Sisters of the Visitation Con.
vent, st. Paul, have lately come into
possession of Monstrance which is
the only one of it's kind in America.
1t is an exact reproduction in size,
material and finish of the famous
Cross of Cong made for the Cathedral
of Tuam in Ireland in 1923, except
that, at the center of the cross, a
circular space for the insertion of the
lunette containing the Sacred Host,
replaces the convex crystal of quartz
which, in the original, probably COW
cred the relic of the True Cross which
it enshrined.
This beautiful Monstrance, the man.
ufacture of which required more than
six months of labor on the part of
a skilled workman, James G. Wallace
of the firm of Edmund Johnson, "a
Grafton Street, Dublin, Ireland, was
presented to the Sisters of the Vista
tion Convent by the father of men,
Der of the Community.
The story of the Cross of Cong,
of which this Monstrance is fac
a most interesting one and may be
summarized as follows:
When st. Patrick on his missionary
tour through Connaught, in A. D.
434 or 435, entered the territory of Cor
coghlan, the chief, noble Druid
named Ono gave him land, and later
on, his castle and fort to found a
church and monastery. This place,
called from it's owner Emlagh-Ono,
is now known as Elphin, which signi-
fies rock of clear springs" so called
because st. Patrick, like Moses of old,
caused a copious spring of crystal
water to flow. He built church
ricks Church, and established an epis-
copal see and monastery, placing st.
Assicus over both.
In the Book of Armagh" we learn
that the first Bishop of Elphin was a
''cerd," that is, a goldsmith, who made
chalices and patens for st. Patrick
and metal book covers for the newly.
founded churches. The successors
and spiritual children of st. Assicus
founded a school of art, and produced
beautiful objects of Celtic workman
ship in the Diocese of Elphin, particu
larly in Roscommon, a monastery
founded in the first half of the eighth
century by st. Conan. 1t became a
seat of learning, and about the middle
of the tenth century was united with
and shared the fame of, the great
school of Clonmacnoise.
In this school of Roscommon the
famous Bachal Buidhe, now called the
Cross of Cong, was made. 1t is pro
cessional cross made to enshrine a

portion of the True Cross. The in
scription on it's side, and the annals
of Innisfallen,' testify that it is the
work of Maelisu Mac Bratdan O'Echan
Cor Egan), successor of ST. Finian of
Clooncraff near Elphin in the County
of Roscommon. The work was done
at RoScommon and was superintended
by Domhnall, son of Flanagan O'Duf-
| fly, successor of Conan and Ciaran,
Abbots of Roscommon and Clonmac-
noise, and Bishop of Elphin.
The Cross of Cong was made for
the Cathedral of Tuam and for Mure-
dach U Dubthaig, Archbishop of Con-
naught, in the year 1923, the
year in which the first General Coun-
Gil of Lateran was held, during the
Pontificate of Pope CaliXtus II. The
Annalist states: "a portion of the
True Cross came into Ireland and was
enshrined at Roscommon by Turlough
U Conchobair, King of Connaught and
Ireland" This statement is support
ed by inscriptions along the sides of
the Cross which are as follows:

suffered.

senior of Ireland
A prayer for Turlough u Concho-
bair, King of Ireland, by whom this

and successor of Conan and Ciaran,
under whose superintendent this
shrine was made.
A prayer for Maol-Iosa, son of Bra

The cross measures feet 6 inches

is 1 foot Ga inches; it is formed of
oak encased with copper plates, en-
riched with interlaced ornaments of
gilt bronze; the sides are framed in
silver, the whole being held together
by nails ornamented with little heads
of animals.
On the front, the shaft and arms
are divided into a number of small
panels of silver strap-work decorated
at their intersections with settings
alternated with fiat silver discs, in

relic. The enrichment of filigree
