GERMANY'S PEACE
PROPOSAL.

The news of Germany's peace
proposal is hailed with real salts
faction and it is hoped that it is
a step nearer towards solving the
most perp1exing question Of hu-
mainly that the world has ever
had to deal with. The text of
the proposed parley has not as yet
been received in this country and
it is not known whether the allies
will accede to parley or not, but
from the press reports it is evil
dent that it is the sincere wish
of the German allies to avoid fur
Their bloodshed and make an end
of the atrocities of war. TO this
end, His Holiness, Pope Benedict
has worked theoretically since
the beginning Of the war, and it
is gratifying to the Church to
know that the Pope has been
designated as one to whom the
proposal was first referred, and he
will do all in his power to bring
on peace amongst his beloved
children, for whom his heart has
bled with sorrow since the begin
ming of the war. 1t is hoped that
the United States will do every
thing in it's power to further the
proposed peace conference for the
good of all mankind.

MONSIGNOR RUSSELL IS
CREATED BISHOP

Rt. Rev. Mgr. VIM. T. Russell,
for more than nine years pastor
of St. Patrick's Church, Washing
ton, has been named by Pope
Benedict XIV, as Bishop of
Charleston, S. C.
Monsignor Russell occupies a
place in the national capital all
his own, and at the news of his
approaching departure from the
city, general regret was expressed
on all sides, and plans were at
once set on foot for big celebra-
ton and testimonial to him.
Monsignor Russell is native
of Baltimore. At the age of eight
he was an altar boy lat fourteen he
was studying for the priesthood
at nineteen he was in the Ameri-
can College in Rome. For four
teen years he was executive sec
rotary to Cardinal Gibbons, before
coming to Washington, and since
his pastorate at St. Patrick's, he
has done many notable things
conspicuous among them has been
the annual Pan American Mass
of Thanksgiving. The New Year
reception to Cardinal Gibbons has
been another institution of his
Soon after coming to Washing

de Paul Society the expenses
amount to so little they count for
nothing in the great total of mon
ey expended in relief of the poor.
The whole cost of maintaining
the Society does not amount to
one per cent of the receipts. 1t
is money we'll spent and the de-
serving poor are the benefciaries.
1t means that relief is given more
promptly and effectively. That
there are abuses is recognized,
but the best gifts of God can be
abused. The good accomplished
by organized charity is so far in
excess of the evils that may be
associated with it that adverse
criticism is not warranted in the
DRY or in fact.
At the same time organized
charity will never fully take the
place of individual charity. The
sending of check to an organ
lied charity does not make the
same appeal to the heart of the
giver as the personal contact
with need and suffering. Therein
lies the chief appeal Of the Saint
Vincent de Paul Society. 1t COM
bines the good of organization
with personal effort. The Vim
centian is not distributing money
in a cold and impersonal business
way. He puts the personal note
in his work. The poor WHO re-
ceive an aims from him are not
made to feel that they are being
helped by a soulless machine.
The work of the Saint Vincent
de Paul Society is great, but even
greater still is the manner Of
working. Whatever objection
may be raised against certain or
ganized charity they do not tell
against this greatest and most
Christlike lay organization in the
world.

A CHAMBER OF HORRORS

The eugenists and sexologists
are holding high carnival in ST.
Louis. Among other things they
are devising ways and means to
make boys and girls clean hearted
and moral without the grace OF
God. To accomplish it they are
planning a campaign of education
among women and girls i'll SEX
hygiene and the prevention of dis
ease. This educational work is
to be done by means of lectures
circulars and exhibits and will be
carried on in cooperation with
the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union and the National AS
ISOLATION of Women's Clubs.
They have fixed up an exhibi-
ton portraying by charts and
models the terrible effects of sins
against the holy virtue. 1t is a
disgusting exhibition. One of the
delegates to the convention thus
sizes up the degrading spectacle;
II disapprove of this whole ex-
hibition. 1t is a perfect chamber
of horrors. Do you suppose for
one instant that it has a moral
and reforming. or even an educa-
tional effect? What good will it
do anyway to exhibit the terrible
ravages wrought by the social dis
ease? Why put this vital and
wholesome movement for sex ed
ucation upon the low plane of fear
for the consequences if one trans
crosses? Why show the you'll,
of the country loathsome speci-
mems of humanity in the effort of
terrifying them into doing right ?
I do not believe fear is a high
ethical concept to which to ap-
peal. For single type fear may
be an efficient correctional Unfit
ence but for the generality of
mankind never. Our efforts must
be turned not toward dragooning
youth to do right but toward the
inculcation of that right thinking
which leads to right doing.

women have no right to run
around the country exhibiting

A WORTHY HIBERNIAN
MOVEMENT

We congratulate the Denver
Ilibernians upon a movement
started by that progressive divi-
sion which seeks national aid for
the purchase of army chapel cars.
Recently when Father Joyce,
chaplain of the Seventh United
States Artillery, was Denver
visitor, he told the editor of the
Denver Register of great need
OF motor chapels for army chap
lains, explaining how he had to
celebrate Mass, when with PERISH
ing's expedition into Mexico after
Villa, on the rear of an old wagon.
AS a result the Denver division
will see that Father Joyce will
have an automobile chapel and are
now making a strenuous effort
to get the National order to sup
ply all army chaplains with autos.
The Denver movement should re-
ceive the encouragement of all
llibernians in the United States,
as it is a movement which will
command love and respect for the
order from every patriotic citizen
of the Union and show to the
world the STAMP of Hibernian-
ism" its love for the Mother
Church, America and Ireland. 1t
is true that our army chaplains
are furnished with horses, but
they are not fit saddle horses, and
in most cases are man-killers, and

priests and sisters from the ter
rible disgrace that blackens old

ORGANIZED CHARITY.

The call for aid from the Saint
Vincent de Paul Society will bring
out the familiar objections to or
ganized charity. In most cases
the objector is one who gives
nothing to charity, organized or
otherwise. There are others who
are sincere in their protest.
Their objection to giving to or
ganized charities is based on the
impression that there is more sci
ence than heart in their ministra-
tons and that too large a proper
ton of their receipts is absorbed
in the expenses OF management.
While in some instances the OBJ
lection is we'll founded it would
not be logical or fair to condemn
all because of the faults of a few.
These people must not lose sight
of the fact that the object of or
gained charity is to help where
help is generally needed. 1t is
only by investigation that correct
information can be obtained and
such investigation necessitates
some expense. 1t is important
that the worthy poor be found
and assisted and that fraud be pre-
vented. The individual in the city
has little opportunity to find out
where assistance is needed and
still less to know where the need
is genuine. Many with strong
desire to give would go their way
without the slightestk knowledge of
the want and suffering that always
exist in large city because it
does not come under their notice.
EIt is the business of organized
charity, such as the Saint Vincent
de Paul Society, to search for
;trouble and to relieve it in prac-
|tical way.

AMERICAS CHARITY.

Recently the Irish Standard
published letter of thanks from
the Bishop of Dublin to the Irish
American Relief Committee for
the large sums sent to Ireland for
the relief of distress of the poor
victims of British cruelty. The
Irish of America should be proud
of this work, as Ireland has no
government to look to for aid, and
this assistance is the means of
forestalling the designed destruc-
ton of the Irish race by England's
despots. The American spirit of
charity is the greatest of any ma
ton on earth, every day this spir-
it is evidenced in the columns of
Our daily press. Recently an
American ship was chartered and
in few days it will be sent to
the Servians and Armenians laden
with foodstuffs, medicine and
clothing for the relief of the suf-
ferers there. 1t is good work. We
are all proud of what has been
done, for even the poorest of Am
erica's poor contributed his
mite. But while the people of
this blessed country are so full
of charity for all who are suffer-
ing, we would like to ask, what
people in all of Europe deserve
better aid from the United States
than the Irish?
What have the Servians, Arme-
nians or Belgians done for the
United States in time of need
compared with what the Irish
have done? 1t is unnecessary for
| the Irish Standard to answer this.
For the answer is on the tongue
of everyone who knows the his
tory of the United States from
Valley Forge down to the present
day. 1t was the adopted son of
George Washington, George
Washington Park Curtis. who
wrote in his memoirs of Washing
ton. Eternal gratitude to the
Irish," referring to their great
part in the Revolution. They
gave not only men. but money,
money from Ireland to aid the
cause of the young republic, as

Today the last of the Irish race,

true of the manhood of the Faith
erland of the Gael. They are
facing the terrors of a famine. 1t
lis true many of the Irish race of
America have helped through the
tsplendid work of the Friends of
Irish Freedom. which calls for
admiration. But it is nothing
what might be done if there was
the proper response from all the
men and women of the race in
America. America ought to help
all the stricken ones in Europe,
but to no call should she respond
more generously than to the call
that comes across the Atlantic
