JULY FOURTH.

Throughout the length and breadth
of the land, July Fourth will be cele
brated as independence Day in the
cities and country with more patriotic
fervor this year than for many years
nast. owing to the tenseness with which
the citizens of every country look upon
their particular form of government
with feelings of pride mingled with
feelings of sadness and hoping and
praying, no matter what be their race
or religion, that the land of their birth
or their ancestors be spared. The
particular spirit of Independence Day
this year will bring home to the citi-
zens of the country the unusual posi-.
ton which America occupies in being
free from external enemies, prosper
Ing in a marked degree and entertain.
ing no thoughts of hatred or national
design against any country in tn,
world. No class or creed of American
citizens will appreciate the blessings
OF Independence Day more thoroughly
than those Of the Catholic faith, Irish
Catholics in particular. They realize
the boon and the blessing of peace and
prosperity which was denied them in

POPE BENEDIcT'S DlsAPPojNT.
MENT,

The entrance of Italy into the war
was keen and bitter disappointment
for His Holiness, Pope Benedict. The
Holy Father had planned on holding a
consistory during the month of June,
but war made it impossible. In q
letter to Cardinal Vannutelli, the
Holy Father expresses his grief over
the condition of affairs In Europe
and urges three day fast in the spirit
of repentance and duplication with
the desire that the suffering may be
brought to a close. Reviewing the eff.
forts which the Holy Father has made
to bring about peace, he announces
his chief concern is for the welfare
of the souls Of those that die in battle,
and to this end he has granted the
priests and chaplains the fullest facul.
ties, authorizing them to avail them.
selves of the privileges which can be
granted only under exceptional cir.
cumstances. The saddened spirit of
Pope Benedict is we'll reflected in the
following lines in his letter to the
CARDINAL: MAY the echo of our
voices reach all our children afflicted
by the cruel scourge of war and show
them how to share their troubles and
afflictions for there is no grief of
the child that has not its repurcus.

MAL,eNINe THE HOLY FATHER.

MALlGNING THE HOLY FATHER.
The enemies of the Holy Father in
particular, and the enemies Of the
Catholic church in general are VIC
iously at work attempting to discredit
he Holy Father and deride his posi-
ton as the great representative of
neutrality. The systematic manner in
hitch the Catholic church and the
Holy Father have been maligned in
an attempt to bluff the Catholic church
to come to the assistance of the Allies
is painful indeed to those who really
appreciate the efforts the Holy Father
has made to restore peace to the
world. An organization in Belgium
honored the memory of the arch
enemy of Christianity, Francisco Fer
rer. Previous to the war, France
would have naught to do with priests
or nuns, they were simply tolerated,
that was all. The crowd that now
seeks to malign the Holy Father are
at their wits end to know what they
shall do because of the patriotism
exhibited by the priests in the
trenches and the nuns on the field of
battle. How happy would they be If
they could only record an instance of
desertion among the clergy or among
the nuns! Unable to do this, they go
beyond the confines of France and
seek to malign the Holy Father.
Now that the world knows that the
Holy Father is misquoted in Paris
publication, "Liberte," that paper will
be denied the privilege of an inter-
view at the Vatican as Pope Benedict
was misquoted deliberately and ma
ligned by design.

The Knights of Columbus of Long
Island have planned one of the largest
public demonstrations that will be
held on Independence Day in New
York. The celebration will be held
on July 9Th. The nature of the pro-
gram Is of the highest patriotic order
and recognizes the fitness of the cele
bration as an act of patriotism and q
public profession of loyalty. The
knights of Columbus of Minnesota will
be interested in knowing that Hon
Charles O. Towne, former United
States senator for Minnesota, will be
one of the speakers.

THE CATHOLIC EDUCATION
ASSOCIATION,

The national convention of the Cath.
olic Education association has been
in progress this week in st. Paul. Rep.
resentatives were present from all
sections Of the country, representing
every department of every Catholic
educational endeavor. Excellent pa.
ners have been presented by able
Catholic educators who are directing
the influences at work in the great
field of co-relating the intellectual pur.
suit of the true and the religious pur.
suit of the good. Bishop Shahan, rec.
tor Of the Catholic university at Wash.
tngton, has been presiding over the
deliberations of the convention which
have attracted the attention of laymen
as we'll as the priests and the members
of the teaching orders.
That we better realize the impor.
lance of the great field of Catholic
education, glance at the report OF
the United States Commissioner OF
Education shows that for the ednca
ton of one million six hundred thou
sand Catholic children the Catholics
pay eighteen million dollars, or eleven
dollars and twenty-five cents per cap.
ita for each child. At the same time
1t costs the state thirty-six dollars and
thirty cents for each child. Taking
the report of the United States Com.
missioner of Education as a basis and
figuring the average cost per capita
for education in the public schools the
government saves the enormous sum
of fifty-eight million dollars yearly in
educational outlay. This great saving
is made possible by the sacrifice of
earnest Catholics who voluntarily as.
sumo their own school burdens in or.
der to promote the interest of Cath.
Ollie children and assist the Catholic
youth of the country in obtaining that
combined moral, religious and intellec.
tual training which is at the basis OF
Christian education.

wife were shot and killed in the little
Bosnian town of Serajevo by Garvio
Prinzip. 1t was the act of Prinzip,
a poor student, which ultimately re.
suited in eleven nations going to war.
These nations are, on one hand, Great
Britain, France, Russia, Serbia, Japan,
Belgium, Italy and Montenegro, and,
on the other, Germany, Austria and
Turkey. The war to date, according
to conservative estimates compiled
from the best available reports, has
caused loss to the various belliger.
ents of more than 10000 men, dead,
wounded and prisoners, and more than
500 ships. OF these about 100 were
war vessels.
The outstanding results on land are
these:
The greater portion of Belgium is un
der the control of. Germany. =
Germany has been driven from the
Far East.
A part of the Dardanelles is in the
possession of the Allied troops.
Portions of France and Russia are
in the possession of German troops.
A strip of Alsace has been taken
from Germany.
On the continent of Africa parts of
territorial possessions have been lost
by both sides.
Various island possessions of Ger.
many have been taken by the forces
of the Allies.
Italian troops are in possession of a
strip of Austrian territory.
Outstanding Features at Sea.
The outstanding results at sea are
these:
German and Austrian mercantile
shipping has been driven from all the
open seas.
German and Austrian war vessels
having total displacement of approx
mately $4,000 tons have been de-
stroyed.
War vessels of the Allied nations
having total displacement of approx
mately $4,000 tons have been sent tc
the bottom.
The greater portions of the German
and Allied fleets in the North Sea re
main intact.
Except for communication through
Holland and the Scandinavian nations
Germany is cut off from the rest of the
world.
Efforts on the part of the Germans
to place the British isles in a similar
predicament have resulted in the sink
ing by submarines of hundreds of yes
sells flying the flags of the Allied and
neutral nations.
The sinking in this manner of the
Cunard liner Lusitania, with the loss
OF more than 100 American lives, pre-
cipitated a request on the part of the
United States that such practices, in
solar as they might menace Ameri
cans, be stopped.
