Freedom of the Church i'm
Russia.
Russian Envoy to Vatican Submits
Text of Law Acknowledging Holy
Sees Right to, Appoint Bishops;
Government However Wants to Be
Informed; Full Freedom For Re
ligious Associations and For Con.
verts.

The Rome correspondent Of the
Catholic Press Association reports the
following:
NJ. Lissokovsky, the Russian min
lister to the Holy See, has communi-
Gated to the papal secretary Of state
the text Of the new Russian law re-
garding the Catholic Church. In refer
ence to ecclesiastical jurisdiction and
such affairs as the erection and d.
vision Of dioceses, appointment of bish-
ops. Of chapters, rectors, professors in
seminaries and other clerical officials,
and the building Of churches, the
Church authorities enjoy full liberty,
the only obligation resting upon them
being that Of informing the govern
ment representatives Of such transac-
lions. The Holy See is to appoint
archbishops and bishops by agreement
with the government. The Church en-
joys the right to establish its own
schools, to insure the teaching Of the
catechism, and to appoint teachers in
the civil schools. Full freedom is
granted to religious associations and
monastic orders, including the Jesuits.
The last two paragraphs Of the law
explicitly state that, liberty Of con-
science having been established by a
special law, no obstacle now exists to
conversions to the Roman Catholic
Church, and that all restrictive meas
ures enforced by the late government,
such as the prevention Of free COM
m~unication with Rome, the censuring
Of the 'Acta Apostolicae Sedis', and the
difficulties placed in the way Of re-
cruiting the clergy, are now definitely
abolished,

Amsterdam, Oct 29.-The 'Zeitung

former U. 8. Ambassador to Germany,
said in q recent address before the
University Club Of Los Angeles that,
If peace came through the democratiza-
ton Of Germany, 1t will be brought
about by the Catholic Party, which
holds the balance Of political power In
that country. He said that there was
no hope Of such a peace through the
Conservative Party, nor yet through
the Social Democrats, but that there Is
a slight chance that the Catholic, or

will solemnly bless st. Demands Home

Catholic laymen of the South Side

Gould Of Our Lady's Young
Priests"
&C. p A. correspondence

Iondon.-To meet the abnormal sit
uation which will arise in the. religious
world after the war, a new c~onfratern-
ity or league has been formed here
called the Guild Of Our Lady's Young
Priests. 1t is under the patronage Of
the Jesuits. The members will devote
themselves to assisting spiritually by
prayer and temporarily by offerings the
late vocations which come from the
trenches. With many priests killed or
incapacitated, and large numbers of
seminarists gone to the trenches and
sharing the same fate, a time may
come when there will be no priests
to take the mission, while older mes
are passing and leaving gaps to be
filled. Providence, however, is raising
up many young men at present In the
trenches who have the intention Of
adopting the priestly life when the war
is over. Many Of these men have not.
however, the means to cover the years
of study involved, and 1t Is to pro-
vide these means. and to pray that the
vocations may ripen, that the Guild
Of Our Lady's Young Priests" has
been formed.

LOAN FIGURES
STILL UNKNOWN.
Treasury Department Expects to Get
Tabulation of Total Amount Of Sub.
scriptions to Liberty Loan BY Nov.
LIST; Every District Seems to Have
Passed Minimum; Several Exceed
Maximum Sufficiently to Garry the
Weaker Districts to the High Mark.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-The Treasury
announced tonight that
the total amount subscribed to the
second liberty loan will not be known
for several days: The statement says
"On the face Of returns it cannot be
said whether the sale exceeded S., OOO,-
100000. Conviction is general. how
ever. that it probably Appropriated
the maximum total.
Banks, Of course, have made no
effort to tabulate all their returns, and
may not do so until the final day for
reporting, Nov. 1. Obviously, great
changes may be made in the total be-
tween now and Thursday.
1T seems certain that every dis
trict has gone well past its minimum
and that several will exceed their
maximums sufficiently to carry the
weaker districts to the high mark In
the general total.
New York, Chicago, Cleveland, and
San Francisco were showing especially
strong In the late returns. How far
New York will 60 over its maximum Is
a matter of conjecture. Some think
tina the excess may reach $4,000 900.
Chicago district chairmen have be-
gun to feel that their total may reach
the maximum Of $7OO,OO0,OOO. 80"
Every state In Jul district has
exceeded its minimum allotment the
Minneapolis district reported. Many
townships have sold bonds to every
family. Large manufacturing estab-
lishments have sold bonds to every en-
ployee. Some Of the former most
rabid German sympathizers, including
ministers, are now staunch supporters
Of the government and for the last
week have been soliciting sales
AT last reports virtually every part
Of the San Francisco district had
passed its mil and many had
gone beyond their maximum. ""ss
Indians have subscribed $780,
$50, according to the latest reports by
Cato Sells, Commissioner Of Indian Az
fairs" "
The army has subscribed $50, 600, 900.

Beware Of Fake Papal Interviews!

~sistories and to the Sacred College, let.
ters, epistles, and other official ways
which are all officially reproduced In
the 'Acta Apostolicae Sedis'. Beyond
this nothing Is absolutely Official. But
also the Cardinal Secretary Of State
will often issue a statement, while
the 'Osservatore Romano will publish
a notice, which the world knows Is au
thoritative and as reliable as il official.
Accounts given Of private
tons with His Holiness a never be
taken as authoritatively representing
the views Of the Holy See. In the
first place, even the most honest per-
son with the best memory in the world
cannot be sure of reproducing exactly
what His Holiness said, and, secondly,
even granting faithful reproduction,
what the Pope may have said would
depend on what had been said to him
and on the whole character and atnios-
phere Of the conversation. Moreover.
even then the nearer will very possibly
not have gained from the Holy Fa-
theirs words the exact impressions
that were intended to convey. All
this, too, presupposes good will in the
