Germany, hemmed in on every side vet
victorious on land and sea. We can
not blame them if they glory in being
of the same blood. 1t is strange that
there is no denunciation of those
Americans who have for years past
boasted that they We're of the dubious
Anglo-SaXon race. No doubt in the
minds of these men it is crime for
the lrishman to wear the shamrock on
the seventeenth of March and it is a
treason for the children of sunny
France to celebrate the anniversary of
the fall of the Bastile.
The law under which the foreigner
has become a citizen of the United
States does not demand that all social
and family ties be broken by the
change of political allegiance. He
may have a father or mother, or BOTH
or perhaps sister or brother, living
in the foreign land. Neither the spir-
1t nor the letter of the law demands
that he forget these ties of blood that
bind him to those he has left behind
Some of the trainers of our natural
ization laws, themselves of foreign
birth, have experienced the longing
that exists to again see the country
they abandoned. We should not make
the man who chose our country as his
home feel ashamed to admit that he
was born abroad He had nothing
to say about what country he pre-
ferred to be born in but he did chose
our country for his future home Only
the renegade would say that all cit
liens of foreign birth are traitors.
The hysteria about hyphenated cit
liens smacks too much of a recrudes-
cence of Know-nothingism, our first
hyphenated organization. 1t is an I'M
wholesome indication Of an opinion in
the minds of many that they consti-
tute kind of aristocratic citizenry
There is danger that this stirring up
OF enmity among Americans of diverse
racial origin will not stop until there
is an attempt to couple religious with
racial divisions. The memory of such
action is still vivid and there is n
small element in American life who
even now impugn the loyalty of the
hyphenated Catholic-American. With.
out questioning the sincerity and pure
motive of the vast majority of those
who are just now pleading for un-
alleged Americanism we can not for
get the words of DR.. Johnson: "Pa-
triotism is the last resort of a scound-

whole, have a population considerably
larger than the sixty-nine which do
report. Philadelphia with a record of
1928 converts received last year, is
the only one Of the major cities to re-
spond. New York, Boston, Baltimore,
Chicago, st. Louis and San Francisco
have not yet made a return.
I'VE have the figures for the con-
verts received in siXty-nine dioceses
and we have the figures for the Cath
Ole population in each of the entire
1O1 dioceses; and putting these fig.
ures together certain deductions may
be made that are reasonably reliable.
1t is true, as these comparisons show,
that conversions have set a much
swifter pace in some localities than
i'll others, but there is no evidence
that the movement is less active in
the big cities taken as whole than
it is i'll the smaller places. In the
siXty-nine dioceses for which the facts
are published, the average is one con-
vert to every 425 of the Catholic popu.
latiOn.
Rate Well Sustained.
Philadelphia does not come up to
this average, the ratio being one con.
vert in every 53S Catholics. But other
good-sized cities are we'll ahead of the
average, as for example Columbus, o.,
where the ratio is one to 40; Indian.
apolis, one to 221; Louisville, one to
271; Omaha, one to $50, and Cincin.
natl. one to 313. Inasmuch as it is
the most populous communities that
do not report their converts, this ties,
timony is important because it indi.
Gates that the rate of conversions is
just as we'll sustained in the more pop.
ulous cites as it is in the sections
where Catholics are less numerous.
therefore we are led to the main
conclusion which is that it is fair to
presume that the ratio of one convert
to every 425 Catholics applies to the
thirty-two nonreporting dioceses quite
as we'll as to the sixty-nine which dc
report. The Catholic population in
the two groups is as follows:
1.-The sixty-nine reporting dioceses
S,Os2,90o.
1.-The thirty-two nonreporting do
ceses, S,4S1.5O.
THE total of converts-19, OOO-as
given for the siXty-nine dioceses mus,
on this showing be more than doubled
In arriving at the record for the cOun
try entire. To be exact the ratio OF
one convert to every 425 Catholics. il
applied to the whole number of do
ceses, would bring the convert total
up to approximately $4,000.
There are, however, two other fac
tors which must be considered before
the survey is complete. One is that a
great many converts are received an
nually in the converts and many oil
these converts. not being obliged to-
do not make their returns to the do
cesar authorities The other is that
among the Episcopalians of the High
Church Party, there are many whose
Protestant ceremony is conceded and
on becoming Catholics they are not
even conditionally baptized. Hence
their names do not go down in the
baptistry books at all. These High
Anglicans are just as much converts
as any others, but for the reason men
toned they do not get into the official
records.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS NEWS.

At the home and headquarters of
the Knights of Columbus in New
Haven, valuable residence property
has been purchased by the K. c. Club
consisting of 1000 members. The
house contains twenty rooms, which
will be used as the club proper. 1t
is the intention of the club to build in
the rear four bowling alleys and a
gymnasium. The latter, it is expected,
will cost $4,000. It will be a two
story brick building. The gymnasium
will be on the ground floor and on
the floor above will be an assembly
room, 50x90 feet, capable of seating
1900 people. The gymnasium will
contain a swimming pool, shower
baths, running tracks and all the mod
ern requisites. The erection of the
bowling alleys will cost about $4,000.
Generous responses are being re-
ceived by the supreme officers of the
X. c. to the appeal sent out on behalf
of the Holy Father. In his letter sent
to the LOO Councils, Archbishop
Bonzano, the Apostolic Delegate said:

charity of the Knights of Columbus,

years.
There is no building in ireland like
Madison Square Garden, and no such
vast asscmblage of people gathered
together. in the name of Ireland, has
been seen In the history of the AmcrI-
can republic. The art and beauty of
the decorations, the whole interior OF
the Garden being swathed in the Irish
colors, the bands of music. the singers,
the display of colored lights formed a
fitting border to the most generous
and enthusiastic audience that New
York has ever known.
Three stands had been erected out
side the Garden to hold the overflow
crowds, but these proved entirely in
adequate and speakers were sent in
automobiles to the crowd which
damned Union Square.
