JUDGE NOT.

1t is considerable time since
General Funston occupied the
limelight spot on the public stage.
1t was somewhat of a relief, after
the Aguinaldo capture feat, and
the suspense was of kind that
could be borne without much dis
tress. Now we find him in a tan
gle with the Baptist state boards
in Texas and Alabama. The cause
of the disagreement is theological,
partly, and partly military. The
general thinks that it does not
serve to hearten the soldiers
whom he leads to cause them to
regard themselves as 'lost souls. ~
1t would appear from this that the
privilege of sitting in judgment
on others is one of those claimed
by the Baptist ministry. Those
journals which represent their in
terests, we know from occasion
ally looking over some of them,

those Catholic populations among
whom they obtrude themselves as
dear sinful people" Our Divine
Lord did not adopt such an atti-
tude. He came to save sinners;
He told all whom He spoke to
not to condemn them. He adopt
ed another course, however, with
the Pharisees, the class who were
in the habit of telling Almighty
God what very good people they
were, and how often they prayed
and gave aims to the poor. "Ye
hypocrites!" He said when ad-
dressing these paragons of self

of preaching requires much more
than mere volubility and force in
apprehension. 1t needs tact and
delicacy, along with an evident
love for the weak and unfortunate
whom Christ died to save. In es-
pecial the horrible doctrine of Cal
vim needs to be excluded at the
front. The soldiers who profess
the Catholic faith are always
cheered by the ministrations Of
their clergy. They are consoled
by the thought that if they should
fall in defense of their country's
flag they are doing a duty that is
pleasing to God and honorable to
themselves. General Funston
threatens libel suits against such
as criticize his interference in the

suffered. Nations, like individ-
uals, often suffer for their sins.
Belgium, though known as Gath
olic Belgium" committed one not
able offense against Christianity
which will not soon be forgotten.
In her great city of Brussels
she permitted to be erected, in
1910, a public statue to Francisco
Ferrer, the Spanish anarchist and
anti Christian conspirator, whose
motto in Spain was Away with
God from the schools"
In the capital of a Catholic
country this monument to infamy
was set up. The bishops, the cler-
gy, the faithful Catholic laity,
cried out against it and protested,
but Mr.. Van der Velve, the So
cialist premier, and the weak king,
young Albert, said it was none of
the governments affair. 1t was a
matter for the city of Brussels.
And the council of Brussels, con-
trolled by the followers of Van
der Velve, as it was, defed public
opinion and kept the statue there
staring in the face the works of
Christian art. 1t would be there
yet, only the Bavarian cannon
knocked it to pieces when the
Germans went into Brussels.
Such a statue, an insult to all
Christianity, would not be per-
mitted to stand twenty-four hours
in Catholic Ireland. All the troops
Of King George could not protect

to stand and flourish until the
arms of victorious Catholic Ba-
varians put an end to it.
The Catholics of Brussels, or
the majority of them, have not
been very robust for their relie-

the able-bodied men who refused
to work and who are now being

IN MEMORY OF THE BRAVE.


The erection of street shrines in
memory of officers and soldiers who
have given their lives for their coun-
try's cause is becoming a general prac-
tice, says the London Catholic Times.
Soon there will be scarcely one of
our towns where these shrines will
not be found. They afford consolation
to the relatives and friends of the de-
parted. The French government has
passed through parliament a measure
under which diploma of honor is sent
to the family of every soldier who has
died for the fatherland. This diploma
bears words somewhat like those In
scribed on the Paris Pantheon: aux
morris de la grande guerre la patrie
reconnaissance" It has been sug-
gested that the British government
should adopt the idea. Certain it -is
that the custom of honoring the dead
is observed more and more widely
and not only of honoring them, but of
Offering up prayers for them. Protes-
tants of various denominations are fer
vently appealing to God day after day
that their deceased may obtain eternal
rest. The Catholic doctrine, which is
SO much in accord with the instincts
OF the heart. is spreading. and many
opportunities of making 1t more def
n1tely known present themselves to
the faithful. /

BELGIUM AND IRELAND
A COMPARISON.

The daily papers for the past
few weeks have given much space
to articles from Washington and
elsewhere about the deportation.
of Belgian workingmen from
Brussels and other Belgian cities
by the German military author
tiles.
OF course, the sympathy OF all
lovers of liberty is with the Bel
gian people in what they have suf-
fered, and, of course, all that is
possible to be done should be
done to prevent the heavy and
stern hand of the conqueror from
falling any heavier on the Bel
CLANS.
We were told first few days
ago that the United States had
protested to Germany against
the deportation OF large bodies OF
Belgians into Germany" This
created somewhat of a sensation
and Secretary of State Lansing
fastened to explain: mo protest
has been made to Germany by
the United States. We received
complaint from a Belgian work
ingmen's organization that certain
harsh measures were being taken.
We did not protest to Germany !;
we simply forwarded to the Ger
man government the complaint
that had been sent to the United
States"
This is a very different thing
from the protest" the pro-ally
press told us about in big head
lines. Since the Lansing state
nent was made public Germany
has made an explanation. 1t says
it has deported between 5000 and
1900 able-bodied Belgians and
sent them into Germany, to work
as agricultural laborers. The
Germans claim that these men
thronged the Belgian cities, prin-
cipally Brussels, and refused to
work at anything and constituted
a menace to the public peace and
a burden to the communities.
Hence the Germans deported
them into Germany to till the
fields and will pay them for their
work.
Prior to the uprising in Dublin
over $500 men had been "deport-
ed" out of Ireland into England
and held in English prisons with
out trial. Since the Dublin upris-
ing, according to the English fig
ures, over 1000 Irishmen and 400
Irish women have been deported
to England and Scotland and held
in vile dungeons because they
would not enlist or fight for Eng.
land. Their families in ireland
H.
are in want and facing starvation.
These men get no pay from Eng.
land, though they have to work in
English prisons, making certain
articles for warfare.
If the United States were to
protest to Germany against the
deportation of Belgians, the same
government should certainly pro-
test to England against the depor-
fation of the Irish.
Belgium is suffering no doubt,

PETERS PENCE.

by refer S renee is Speclhcally
meant the contributions made
every year towards the financial
support of the government of the
Catholic church. The government
of the church is carried on at
Rome in the vatican by the Pope
and his numerous assistants
cardinals, prelates, and other frnc-
tionaries, who as individuals or as
members of the various congrega-
tons, attend to all the business
of governing the universal church.
When the states of the church
were taken away from the Pope
by Italy the revenues derived
therefrom ceased for the Holy See
Of Peter and it became necessary
to get funds from Catholic people
everywhere. At that time the
contributions known as "Peter's
Pence were started around the
world. The wants of the Holy
See were provided for, Catholic
countries like Belgium, France,
Ireland and Austria being among
the foremost in generously giving
every year. America has not been
ungenerous, but i'll proportion to
our means perhaps Our generosity
has not been as great as other
lands.
Since the present war began,
the countries mentioned have not
been able to give abundantly, as
may be easily understood. They
have been impoverished and the
people in most of them have suf-
fcrcd want and acute privation
themselves. The United States
has remained at peace and has
prospered beyond all dreams dur
ing these years of desolation in
Europe.
1t is not without reason, there
fore. that we are reminded that
increased generosity is in order

orcd and happy country when the
day comes for the collection OF

DEATH IN THE PALACE.

The aged and unfortunate
Francis Joseph, Emperor of Aus
tria and King of Hungary, died
last Tuesday a week ago at his
palace of Schoenbrunn, after a
couple of days illness. He had
reigncd as Austrian Emperor
since lS4S, and as King of Hun
gary, associated with Austria
since 1S65-the longest reign
known i'll history. But the an
cient aphorism that all that gilt
tiers is not gold was most wildly
verified in the fortunes of Emper-
or Francis Joseph. No more ILL
starred fate than his was ever
experienced by any head that
wore the burden of an imperial
diadem. The shadow of the as
sassin logged his; footsteps al
most from the beginning of his
career as ruler and statesman.
Four times he was the victim
of terrible catastrophes, his wife,
brother. only son and heir-appar-
ent all having met sudden and
violent deaths. His wife, Eliza
beth, daughter of Duke Maxi
milan Joseph, bf Bavaria, was
assassinated by AIN Italian Anar-
chist at Geneva. The only son Of
this marriage, Gown Prince Ru-
dolph, was a man OF much prom
Use, being a linguist, writer and
student OF natural history. In
1881 he married Stephanie. a
daughter of the King of the Bel
gians, and eight years later COM
mitted suicide at Mayerling, a
country house near Vienna. The
Empress, his mother, was Sim
gu!arly beautiful lady. She was
no less beautiful in person than
beautiful in her life of piety and
domestic fidelity. She was pas
sionately devoted to her husband
and son; hence the tragedy that
closed the latter's career came as
crushing blow to her in the
closing days of her life. Previous
to its occurrence she used to visit
Ireland annually, to enjoy her
favorite sport of horse riding
along with the Kildare and Meath
huntsmen and their ladies, and
was greatly beloved by the people
among whom she sojourned i'll
those happy days. The assassina-
ton of the Archduke Charles,
heir to the Crown, and his wife,
in Bosnia. which took place nigh
two years and a half ago, was the
browning calamity which befell
his household. and it brought
about the present horrible war,
through the ultimatum which the
enraged Emperor caused to be
sent to Servia-a document so
severe in its demands that no self
respecting Government could
comply with it.
Francis Joespl, was ardently
beloved by his people of Austria,
and he gained the attachment of
the Hungarians as soon as he was
proclaimed King'pf Hungary. He
was devout in the pious practices
of his religion, such as the wash
