REVELRIES ORDERED
STOPPED BY BISHOP
IN CHURCH MESSAGE

An unqualified condemnation Of New
Years eve revelries, prepared by Rt
Rev. Francis Silas Chatard. bishop OF
the indianapolis diocese, will be read
In St Marys and st. Andrews Catho
tic churches here Monday. The mes
sage Is contained in the Christmas pas
oral which the fathers will deliver. II
Is said to be the first message of its
kind ever received from the head OF
he diocese
The pastoral follows, in part:
There is growing disposition on
the part of the people to make the last
night Of the year one of dishonor to
God and one Of grave danger to souls.
People. and even otherwise good
people, imagine that all sorts of dis
sipations are allowed on that night
The modern growing custom Of max.
ing these last moments OF the old year
and the first moments of the new one
a scene of pagan orgies is a sin and a
scandal Catholics are forbidden, un.
der pain of mortal sin, to take part in
these wild extravagances, and parents
who permit their young people to at.
lend these scandalous celebrations are
guilty Of great sin. The end of the
year Is the time, not for revelry, but
for serious meditation on the end of
life. on mans final accountability to
Almighty God"

cate the possibility of our being fore.
ed into the war. That possibility
ought to serve as restraining and
SOLDERING force safeguarding American
rights. 1t may also serve to force an
earlier conclusion of the war.
Not Peace Note.
Neither the President nor myself
regard this note as peace note; 1t is
merely an effort to get the belliger
ents to define the end for which they
are fighting"
At the White House no effort was
made to lessen the Importance of Sec
rotary Lansings statement President
Wilson would make no comment.
President Wilson himself on sew
eral occasions has pointed out the
danger of the United States becoming
involved in the war. Because Of VIC
lations of American rights, he has felt
that the United States had very
difficult role to fill.
Last February while touring the
Middle West in favor of preparedness
and again during the last campaign the
President touched on that feature. In
a speech at Pittsburgh last January he
said:
when you know that there are com.
bustible materials in the life of the
world and in your own national life,
and that the sky is full Of floating
sparks from great complication are
you going to sit down and say it will
be time when the fire begins to do
something"

INTERNATIONAL LAW
SHAKEN TO ITS CORE

Washington, May 1.-The present
Titanic struggle of the great empires
of Europe has shaken international
law to its foundations" Secretary
Lansing declared here last night at the
dinner of the American Society of
International Law.
There is coming a time, which will
begin with the restoration of peace to
this suffering and war-sick world,
when we will have to readjust our
ideas as to the rules of international
law. | do not mean the principles of
that law, for they are immutable,
founded as they are on justice, right
eousness and humanity.
81 mean that the application of these
principles to new conditions will give
us new rules which have never before
the nations of the world and which
can not therefore be now invoked by
belligerent or neutral.
"If | were asked what was the chief
cause of the new conditions and the
changed methods of land and naval
warfare, | would unhesitatingly ans
wer, the invention of the internal COM
hnstion engine. 1t has made practic-
able the automobile, the submarine,
the aeroplane and the dirigible. 1t
has made surprise almost impossible.
on land and it has vastly increased the
possibility of surprise at sea. The
change of conditions which this inven-
tion, aided by the telephone, the wire
less and the camera, has brought
about, is comparable only with that
which was wrought by the invention
and use Of gunpowder"
In conclusion Secretary Lansing paid
tribute to former Secretary Root,
president of the society.
