DISAPPEARING RED MEN.

According to the last census the red
man is disappearing from this coun-
try. This will not surprise many per-
sons, but it is curious to note that we
have only about a quarter of a million
of Indians left in a total population Of
about 100,000,0OO. The figures show
a percentage of increase, it is true, but
it is so relatively small that it is only
a question of time when full-blooded
Indian will be curiosity and a sub
ject for museums.
OF the few thousand Indians still
left, over $4,000 are in Oklahoma, and
it is the testimony of investigators
that those born of mixed marriages
are more numerous and more likely
to survive than those of full blood.
The largest proportion of full-blooded
Indians is in New Mexico, and the
smallest in North Carolina. We have
had some very bad Indians, and it
was probably his experience with this
class which caused Gen. Sherman to
say that the only good Indian was a
dead Indian.
In spite of this saying the great
majority were undoubtedly good In
dams, and most of us will hear of the
decline of the race with feeling of
sentimental pity. 49,"

CATHOLIC RELIGIOUS. IN. THE
GERMAN ARMY. 49,

The exact statistics of the members
of Catholic religious orders and con-
gregations engaged in the service Of
Germany have now been compiled; al
though they cover only the first half
year of the war, to Jan. l, says amer
ica." According to the carefully ar
ranged tables, the orders of men have
furnished during that time, 1868 SOL
diers, of whom 232 were wounded and
81 killed; 1907 hospital and Red Cross
workers, of whom 1856 were in the
field; 1877 chaplains at the front, 253
priests laboring in the hospitals and
20 in the prison camps. Thirty-eight
Of the members of religious orders
were decorated with the Iron Cross.
The sisterhoods have been at least
equally active; 1854 Sisters we're with
the army and in the hating places,
while 1882 Sisters were engaged in
hospital work at home, having had in
their care no fewer than 270,250
wounded before Jan. of last year. OF
18 Jesuits serving in the field and Is
in the capacity of chaplains, mentioned
in one Of the tables, nine received the
Iron Cross. Many others are various
ly employed. No account is taken in
these statistics of the great numbers
of priests and seminarians not con-
nected with religious orders and con-
gregations.

SMALL NATIONALITIES.

through the columns OF an i'll
fluential German Catholic paper,
The Koelmische Volkszeitung."
The suggestion is that Ger
many should restore complete i'll
dependence to Belgium on condi-
ton that England grant complete
independence to Ireland.
A member of parliament, Mr.
Ginell, put the question to the
British government in the same
terms that had been made i'll the

government as to whether or not
the question had been considered,
and If so, what was the answer
of the government.
The opportunity of making
good Britain's interest i'll the
"small nationalities," out OF
which England has made capital
and furthering her interests in the
war, were contained in the ques-
ton. ~.
But Premier Asquith evaded
the question. The parliamentary
report of his answer follows:
"'The answer to the first part
of the question is i'll the negative
the second part of the question
does not therefore arise. The
last part of the question I am

England has considered that
the suggestion of the organ OF the
German Catholics that Belgium
should be freed by Germany in re-

the ocean, Gustav c. Roder, a
newspaper correspondent, writing
on the situation in Germany,
makes the statement that Eng

portunity after years of abuse.
His article appeared i'll the Jour-
nal last Sunday and has been a
subject of much comment in all
circles, and has been of remark
able interest for those who have
followed the fortunes of Ireland
in the present war.
The political economic and So
cial Importance Of Ireland is CIV
EN- the Importance it deserves in
work from which Mr.. Roder
quotes. The work is entitled
Great Britain and Europe" In
I: this work the events leading up to
+ the present European conflict are
discussed. The author of the
/. book is Count Ernst Won Revent-
low. The following quotations
translated from the German, are
taken from the book:
Germany is fighting for her
own existence, is fighting also for
the liberation of the world. The
great day of liberation will sure
ly come, sooner or later. The con-
dition sine qua non of that liberia
..tio1r is the destruction of Britain's
maritime supremacy. For as long
as. Britain rules the waves hui
mainly must remain her slave.
This is fundamental truth. And
another fundamental truth is that
/ British maritime supremacy can
mot be destroyed until Ireland is
"a free country.
y $50 long as Ireland remains a
!, British: colony-or, rather, Brit
fish fortress-Britain can at any
time shut off the whole of north
sern and eastern Europe from all
access to the ocean; even as by
means of Gibraltar, Port Said and
Alden, she can close the Mediter-
ysranean. Ireland is the key to the
Atlantic. Release Ireland from
S5her bondage, and the Atlantic is
lat once opened up to Europe.
81 Therefore must Ireland be re-
STORED to Europe if Europe is to
gbe free. An independent, neutral
Irish nation would be the natural
