to affairs of Maryland and Baltimore
during the past 300 years. These are
now being indexed, that historians
may more quickly find documents out
of which to write the history of the
Church in this country. The olden
records vary in value, but one of the
veriest treasures is found missing.
1t is the letter of General Wash
ington to Bishop Carroll, congratulate
ing him on the part which Catholics
took in the American Revolutionary
War. The envelope which contained
the letter is there-but empty. Two
letters from John Culinary Shea to
Archbishop Spalding, dated New
York, Dec. % and Dec. 81, 1865, re-
spectively, acknowledge the Archbish-
ops permission to use the letter and
its safe arrival in New York. It is
thought that Mr.. Shea returned it,
along with one of the 100 copies he
printed. Distinctly there are no sus-
picions of its having been lost on its
New York trip.
1t is a document so dear to Ameri-
can Catholics, that it is earnestly
hoped it will soon be located.

are brazenly put forth by lad
vanced" uplifters. Just now, the
birth control" movement is pop
ular. A few years ago it was eu-
genics and sex hygiene. Next
year probably it will be some new
immortality advocated under the
guise of "uplift." We must be
prepared to combat these mons
trosities as we'll to give our CO.
operation to what is OF value in
new movements.
We do not care to frame ex-
cuses for Catholics in their back
wardness and their apparent sus-
.picion of social "uplift" move
A great deal of it is prob
ably due to indifference or to un-
warranted timidity. But good
share of it is due to well-founded
suspicion of the motives and pur-
poses of these later movements.
We can scarcely blame Catholics
for their slowness in taking up
with new movements. They are
not experts in judging of them
at first glance and distinguish
ing the good from the bad. Of
course, we have only ourselves to
blame if we do not perform our
share of the constructive work
that is needed to make society
better. But our leaders have not
been overanxious to point the
way for us to go.

FRANCE AND GERMANY
AND HUMANITY

The feeling between France
and Germany has never been as
bitter as the feeling between Eng
land and Germany and vice versa.
: There are numerous instances
that might be cited to bear out
this statement. Though fight
ing each other constantly and
flercely, the French and Germans
have shown respect and esteem
for each other and have treated
the prisoners and the people of
the conquered places along the
lines with every consideration.
The most remarkable instance
of this mutual respect and es-
TEEN is to be found in the fol-
lowing cablegram in the daily
press of Monday last:

Is it not true that Catholics

doom declares that his experience
has led him to this conclusion.
For instance: But two Catholics

but it was not the fault of the
committee. Many Catholics were
invited to join.

SENATOR JONES CHAMPIONS
ALIEN BORN CITIZENS.

Senator Jones of Washington at
tackled the administration, in the Sen
ate last week, for the discharge of
certain American citizens from the
employ of the United States War De-
partment, because they were not ma
tive-born Americans. These foreign
born citizens so discharged were en-
ployed on the United States army
mine planter, Major Samuel Ringgold,
and were six in number.
More than month ago Senator
Jones introduced a resolution in the
Senate and had it passed, calling upon
the Secretary OF War to inform the
Senate what orders had been issued
by the War Department during the
last three years, directing the non
employment OF or discriminating be-
tween citizens of the United States
in connection with the work of his
department.
There has never been any reply to
this resolution, as far as I know"
said Senator Jones. while we have
the right to insist, upon an undivided
allegiance and undiluted Americanism
on the part Of those who have had
American citizenship conferred upon
them. do they not have the right to
be treated by the government as
American citizens in the fullest sense
of the word?

Secretary of War issued an order di.

gold. They were American citizens.
Why were they discharged? Solely
because they were not native-born.
1t is interesting to note that none of
these discharged American citizens
were born in any of the nations now
at war"
Senator Jones read letter signed
by Capt. H. D. Colby, commanding
the Ringgold, in which the captain
stated the only reason for the dis.
charge was that the War Department
has just decided that foreign:born
citizens of the United States shall no
longer be employed as civilian EN-.
ployes on army mine planters"

By raising more than $1,000
from Tag Day on August 10Th,
the Worcester, Mass, Irish Relief
Fund Committee showed what
can be accomplished in a short
time by enthusiastic and ener-
getic effort. The Worcester or
ganization comprised all of the
leading clergymen and most of
the prominent laymen of the city.
The committee appealed for funds
through the mail and through the
newspapers which were very gen.
erous with their space. More
than $1,000 was collected before
Tag Day. Four hundred young
women, carefully chaperoned who
volunteered to collect funds,
turned in $3,O87, while the circu-
lar appeal resulted in ST, 961, with

both gentlemen were somewhat

NoTRE DAME ALUMNAE TO FORM
FEDERATION.

The Fifth Annual Convention of
the Ohio Federation of Notre Dame
Alumnae was held at Trinity College,
Washington, last week. Delegations
from other sections of the West, and
from Philadelphia and Boston were
represented.
The purpose of the convention was
to form a national federation of No
tire Dame Alumnae, and to build
church at the north end of the cam
pus of the college, for which the
school children of the academies in
the West have been collecting funds
for the past year.
The delegates were extensively en-
tertained and saw all the sights of
the national capital during their stay.

IS IRELAND DOOMED?

Years ago, when Ireland was

famous, we asked a priest who
had spent some time on the Eng

ical answer was ireland is once
more on the dissecting table and
the universal verdict is Sold

We trust we are not necessar-
lily pessimistic when we say that
we are apprehensive that the OPP
Grafton is to be repeated, and that
the verdict is to be the same with
pathetic emphasis this time on
the word "again." In spite of the
apparent magnanimity Of David
