CATHOLIC CONGRESS IN
ROME.

The Catholic Congress held in
Rome during last week was the
most important gathering of the
faithful that has been held there
for many years. 1t was attended
by leading laynen from all parts
of Italy. 1t was decided to take
steps to unite Italian Catholics
more closely than at present, so
that they may confront, as a
great compact body, the social,
economic, and political problems
which are certain to arise when
the war is over. In reply to an
address of homage and devotion
presented to him in behalf>o f the
congress, Pope Benedict sent
words of approval of it's work,
gave all engaged in it his apos-
tolic blessing, and concluded by
expressing a hope that a just and
lasting peace may soon come.

MISSOURI TO CURB HASTY
MARRIAGES.

1t would be an excellent thing
if all the states in the Union had
a law similar to that now before
the Missouri legislature. Pri-
marily it proposes to prevent
1asty marriages, commonly
termed runaway romances, by re-
quiring that all applications for
marriage licenses shall be filed
and published, and that no such
license shall be issued until ten
days after such application. The
requirement of publication gives
such publicity to the application
that those who have legal custody
of minors are most likely to learn
of the purpose Of the latter and
interpose their authority against
the issuance of the license when
that course is deemed advisable.

largest gain is credited to the Catho-

the roll. The Baptists added 365, the
Lutherans 159, while the rest was scat
tered among the many Protestant de-
nominations or sects. The census
shows an enormous loss to the Disci-
pies of Christ in both churches and
followers, but the Year Book publish

counting of previous years, an appar-
ent loss being shown of 709 churches

The gain of 47S priests and $4,000

to Catholics, showing 1916 to be one

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS TO ERECT
cAAPELs AND CLUB HOUSES
At MILITARY POSTS.

Mr.. w. J. Moriarity, the special
agent of the Knights of Columbus on
the Mexican border, who accomplished
untold good for the troops during the
recent mobilization, is anxious for the
organization to make a permanent fea-
ture of the erection of chapels and
club houses for the Catholic enlisted
men in the larger military posts
throughout the army.
Mr.. Moriarity has suggested that a
conference of Catholic chaplains be
held at an early date in Washington
to take up this subject, so that the
matter may be presented to the
knights of Columbus at their coming
national convention in August.
This matter has been brought fore.
IDLY to the attention of Catholics,
through the activities of the Y. M. C..
A. at military posts.

THE IRISH IN SPAIN.

A Spanish correspondent of the
Manchester Guardian" says that
no subject i'll British politics ap-
peals more to the Spanish public
than the Irish question. All the
phases of the Home Rule con-
troversy before the war, as we'll
as the dramatic events which oc-
Cured in Ireland during the last
two years, have been followed
with keen interest in Spain. This,
says the correspondent, applies
alike to the pro- German and the
pro-Ally papers and parties. The
reasons why Irish affairs continue
to interest the Spanish people
may be traced to the old and his
toric associations between the
two countries, the common faith
of both, and the considerable
number of Irish families settled
in Spain during the last three CEN
turtles. Besides the Irish soldiers
who entered the service of Spain
i'll the seventeenth century, there
was considerable immigration
of Irish about a hundred wears
ago, and the descendants of both
these groups occupy in many
cases important positions in the
Spain of today. Irish names
abound in the Spanish army list
where there are many O'Neills,
O'Sheas, O'Connors, O'Donnells,
Macdonalds, and Shaws. One
O'Neil became Spanish Field
Marshal, and in the Carlist wars
won the title of Marques del
Norte, while his son, also an Off
Ger, was distinguished poet.
Another poet of Irish descent,
Fernandez Shaw, died recently in
Madrid. The name of General
/ C'Doitnsh IS as fario;ss:: in Spain
as that Of wellington in England,
Another irnportapt :ihik: Between
Ireland ard Spain is to be found
in the schools. The Irish Col
lege for Catholic Priests at Sala-
manca still fourishes, and there
are in Spain a large number of
convent schools conducted by
Irish nuns. These help to keep
alive the ancient sympathies of
Spain for Ireland and largely &C
count for the interest which all
well-informed Spaniards take in
affairs of this country.

HENNEPIN COUNTY HIBER-
MANS AND LADIES'
AUXILIARY.

The Hennepin County Hiber-
MAN and the Ladies' Auxiliary
have started a campaign to in
crease their membership. This is
a most commendable step and
should be encouraged by every
Hibernian in the county, and
every effort should be made to
induce men and women of Irish
extraction to join the order, and a
thousand new members added as
a result of their campaign. Per-
haps one of the most striking in
cidents of the new campaign is
the interest being taken by former
Hibernians, who through negli-
gence have lost their membership
in the organization. Every day
the Irish Standard is. beseiged
with inquiries relative to their
standing in the order and what
they must do to be reinstated. 1t
is to be hoped that all the men,
bers can again be rounded up,
and induced to become true Hi
bernians, virtuous, wise and valo-
rous, like their ancestors who sac
rifced their time, talents and en-
ergies and vainly wasted their
lives resisting religious persecu-
tions and political oppression. 1t
is these brave and loyal Hiberni-
ans who years ago, sacrificed
everything dear to them in order
to preserve and protect their faith
and virtue, their courage and mo-
rality that they might hand them
down from generation to genera
ton and thus be perpetuated for
all time; but their labors and sac
rifces will all be in vain in the
very near future, unless every son
