THE POPE AND THE ARMY
ITALIAN SOLDIERS ERECT STA.
TUE ON HIGH PEAK.

Several months ago one of the
Alpine regiments of the Italian Army
erected on one of the almost mac
cessible heights which they had just
occupied, bronze statue to Our
Lady. Cardinal Gasparri sent the
regiment a telegram in homage to
their religious feeling, and convey
ing the Holy Fathers blessing The
chaplain of the regiment forwarded
a copy of the telegram and photo
graph of the statue to the general
in command, and received from him
a letter of warm thanks and deep
appreciation of the Holy Fathers
action in thus blessing an Italian
regiment. This makes me hope" he

WIDOW OF NAPOLEON III LIVES
A PIous LIFE.

1t is nearly half century since the
fall of Paris before, the hosts OF Ger
many, and the Punishment of Napoleon
III and Empress Eugene. The En-
peror died many years ago; but his
consort has lived to see her country
involved in another death struggle
Ninety years of age, she is still COM
paratively active, and has had a share
in the past two years in taking care
of those who have been wounded in
fighting for the country from which
she was banished. Most of her time
is spent now as it has been spent for
more than forty years at Chisiehurst
and Marlborough Hill, in England.
1t was at Chislehurst that the EN-
peror died; and it was from there that
her son Louis, Prince Imperial, went
with the British army to Zululand,
where he met his death at the hands
of the savages. The Empress made
periodical journeys to France up to
the time of the present war, and
spent many of her summers at Cap
Martin. The yellow press of the Unit
ed States has furnished its readers
many accounts of the career OF this
famous woman-fabulous stories,
chiefly, according to Edward Legge,
who, in 'The Empress Eugene and
Her Son" (Dodd, Mead & Coz, gives
first hand impressions of his subjects
and of the events that brought trag
edy into their lives.
The little old lady-so very Old
swathed in black of questionable cut

perhaps, but she is original in all sh'

for itself. 1t has fallen to my lot t

APPEAL FOR THE
CHILDREN OF BELGIUM
LETTER OF THE MOST REVEREND
ARCHBISHOP.

To the Clergy and the Laity of the
Diocese of st. Paul:
Beloved Brethren:
The letter of the Holy Father
Benedict XIV, making appeal to the
Catholics of the United States, in
favor of the children of Belgium, as
reprinted in the columns of THE
Catholic Bulletin" in its issue of last
week, cannot but be honored with
filial respect and whole-hearted ad-
hesion.
1t is the Supreme Head of the
Church, the Father of all Christen-
dom who is speaking to us. His
words are commands which we must
not pass over in silence.
Of the dreadful war, now devastat-
ing the lands of Europe, of the varied
contentious set forth by one belli-
gerent or the other, the letter of the
Holy Father makes no mention.
Charity solely is his purpose: charity
solely will be ours.
The cause set before us to-day is
that of the tens of thousands of chill
dren in woe-stricken Belgium, whose
very existence is in peril from starva-
tion. A well-meaning and entirely
reliable organization is at work to
provide them with one nutritious
meal each day-the cost of this meal
being as low as ingenuity may make
it while it remains sufficient to safe
guard life and health. This worthy
organization is born of American
benevolence and does its work
through American hands. This, of it.
self, commends it, in very particu-
lar manner, to American generosity.
When, as now, it's pleading is en-
hanced by the blessing of the Holy
Father and commended with the full
strength of his paternal love, we shall
joyfully become its supporters and CO.
workers, and by the readiness of aid,
be saviors of the little ones, against
whom, assuredly, no fault of war may
be laid, to whose cries none may re-
sist where hearts are used to soften
before the voice of humanity and of
religion.
/ beg leave to advise pastors of
parishes within the Diocese Q St.
paul to announce a collection In be-
half of the starving children of Bel
gium-the collection to be taken up
at the several masses on the Sunday
within the Octave of Christmas Day,
the thirty.first day of December-the
amount received to be forwarded
without needless delay to the Diocesan
Chancery.

THE LEoPoLDlNE SOCIETY or
VIENNA HAS HELPED cATHo-
LIcs IN THIS COUNTRY FOR
ALMOST A CENTURY.

| One wonders why so little is known
in American Catholic circles about
the generosity of the German and
Austrian Catholics to the struggling
| Church here during the nineteenth
century, writes Flanders" in the
Catholic Standard and Times. The
poverty of our early Catholic congre-
cations appealed strongly to the Cath
olics of Germany and Austria. For
almost century the dioceses Of Ger
many and Austria, through the Leo
poldine Association of Vienna, have
been sending to the Church in Amer
lea, irrespective of race, hundreds of
thousands of dollars, vestments,
chalices and church furniture Year
after year, from it's foundation in
1929, the Leopoldine Association pub
lished a report containing valuable
pen-pictures from Bishops and priests
in America on the conditions of the
Church here, and at the end of each
report there is statement contain
ing a tabulated list of all the con-
tributions received and of the dis
bursements during the year. In the
report of 1888, for example, from 49
dioceses of Austria, Germany and
Italy, the amount received was about
sc, 900, forms. The list includes many
names which have become familiar to
us during the present war, such as
Trieste, Lemberg, Tarnow, Przemysl,
Cattaro and Spalato. The sum dis
bursed during this year (1835) among
the American missions was $4,000
forms. Cincinnati received 100000;
5000 more were spent for the voyage
of the Redemptorist Fathers who left
in 1882 for America; about 300 forms
were given for chalices. and church
yestments, etc., and 10000 forms
were sent to the Archbishop of Balti-
more.

The establishment of the Leopold
inc Association was hailed with JOY
by the priests and the people of this
country but it was looked upon with
suspicion by many Protestants. The
ifgeact' tlrati the highest poIfticar 0facials
of powerful Catholic nation of
Europe, supposedly antagonistic to
our republican form Of government.
we're so intimately connected with the
association, led to misgivings in nom
Catholic circles. A series of letters,
in fact, denouncing the association
were printed in the New York OBJ
server in 1884, and no less a promi-
nent American than Morse, the in.
ventor of the telegraph system, wrote
a pamphlet calling attention to the
association as one of the imminent
dangers to the free institutions of the
United States
Donated Hundreds of Thousands of
Dollars.
During the past two years one of
the young students of the Catholic
university, Rev. Raymond Payne, of
the Louisville diocese, has been study
ing the history and activity of the
Leopoldine Association, and the result
of his Investigations will bring many
surprise to his readers. There is
hardly a diocese in the East which
has not profted abundantly from this
source of German and Austrian Cath
olic charity, and the sum total of the
contributions to the archdiocese of
Philadelphia alone amounts to hun
dreds of thousands of dollars.

WILLIAM A. MILAN
IS CALLED BY DEATH
PROMINENT CITIZEN PASSES TO
HIS REWARD AFTER AN
EVENTFUL LIFE.

Mr.. William A. McLain died at his
home on Stonewall street Tuesday
night from the effects of stroke of
apoplexy.
Mr.. McLain had been in declining
health for two or more years, and
during the past year had spent much
of his time, in some of the foremost
sanitariums and resorts Of the coun-
try hoping to recuperate, but he fail
to respond to the best medical treat
ment that could be had.
On Thursday night about eight
o'clock he suffered a stroke of apo
plexy and death came at 10:45. The
announcement of his passing brought
sincere sorrow to hundreds of friends
throughout this section.
Mr.. McLain was born in Henry
county, Alabama, in 1859, and was
81 years of age at the time of his
death. He moved to Terrell county
with his father, the late Duncan F.
McLain, in 1872, when he was a
youth, and settled near where the
town of Herod is located. He came
to Dawson in early manhood as a
salesman in one of the stores of the
city, and in 1887 organized the mer-
camille establishment of McLain
Bros. & Co., which he successfully
managed until 1911, when he sold
his store and retired from that bust
ness to devote all of his time to the
City National Bank, of which he was
management and direction this insti-
tuition became one of the strongest
and most successful banks in the
state. His remarkable business sue
cess was largely due to his conserva-
tism and the fair business methods
which characterized his dealings with
his fellowmen. His integrity and up
right life made for him a place in
the affairs of this county and city
that will cause his memory to be
cherished for years to come.
The deceased's business success
was not all that distinguished his
career. In early life he united
with the Methodist church, and al
ways proved himself to be a consist
ent and loyal member, giving freely
of his time and means to the support
of the church and its institutions. He
was a valuable member of the board
of stewards. He was uncompromising
in his stand for what he conceived to
be right, and as a citizen his inf1u-
ence was always on the side of those
things that tended to the moral and
civic uplift of the community.
The funeral services were conduct
ed in the Methodist church Saturday
morning by Rev. J. H. Scruggs of
Cuthbert. former pastor, assisted
by Rev. T. NJ. Galloway of the Bap-
fist church of Dawson, in the pres
ence of large gathering of sorrow
ing relatives and friends, after which
the remains were inferred in Cedar
Hill cemetery.
Mr.. McLain is survived by his wife
and two children, Mr.. Kenneth Nc
Lain and Miss Sarah McLain. and two
brothers, Messrs. D. F. and R. B. Nc
Lain of Dawson.
