WAR IN EUROPE Theme
OF CHRISTMAS sermon
Rev. G. J. Mullaly Gives "Hate and
Kill" az Watchword of
Angry World.

Because the spirit Of Christ grew
cold in Europe the spirit of the world
grew warm, and the spirit of the
| world means selfishness in place of
charity, hatred in place of love. dis
cord in place of peace. Europe sowed
and nurtured religious Indifference and
is now reaping its harvest. God grant
that we may learn the lesson of what
religious Indifference means before we
drift too far from the Rock of Ages
to our ruin"
Such was the statement made by
Rev. Charles J. Mullaly. s. J., prefect
Of discipline at Foriham University,
New York, in his sermon at high mass
yesterday at st. Aloysius Catholic
Church.
The papal delegate to the United
States, Mgr. John Bonzano. was to
i1a nave delivered the sermon. but was
Ill yesterday and could not attend the
service. He sent his blessing and
Christmas greetings to the clergy and
parishioners Of st. Aloysius Church.
Extract From the Sermon.
Referring in the conclusion of his
sermon to the absence of the Christ
mas spirit in Europe, Father Mullaly
said, in part:
There is another peace that the
Babe Of Bethlehem would bring to-
day-the peace of the love Of brother
for brother Amid the Joy of this bless
ed day there is found a deep note Of
sorrow and regret. The manger teaches
peace, the cross teaches love, but the
angry world has set aside His message
Of peace and of love and is engaged In
the work of death.
Love one another was His heritage
to this world which He redeemed with
His blood. and love is forgotten. Hate
and kill Is the watchword of an angry
world. His temples are in ruins and
the art of centuries, which has handed
down loves concept of His beauty, has
been swept away by the blasts of war.
Blood for blood has become the gospel
Of the world, and ten thousand times a
thousand orphans weep for those who
will return no more"

Carothers May Be Retained.

George c. Carothers' commission as
consular agent expires December 81.
but it is thought likely it may be de-
cided to retain him because of the ap-
parent determination of Gen. Villa not
to eliminate himself from the Mexican
situation. Carothers is the only agent
through whom the State Department
has been able to deal successfully with
Villa.
If the Rockefeller Foundation and
the American Red Cross wish to assist
in the fight against typhus fever In
Mexico City, as recently indicated,
thew must deal directly with Gen Car
ranza. Ambassador Arredondo SAID last
night that even If asked to do SO he
could not make representations 10 nio
government on the subject, since the
foreign office had not consulted MN,
and he did not regard II as a matter
of an international character.
