 The turn of the navy came now. The men knew instinctively that the navy would turn up. It turned up. Destroyers and trawlers appeared like magic. There was . moderate sea, and the ship having been struck near the propeller began settling down by the stern,
 While waiting for the boats to be lowered some of the men sang, some settled down to play cards, and most s of them smoked. The nurses re- mained with the medical staf until all the patients had been provided for, and the whole medical staff remained with the patients until they were safely placed in boats.
 Every pet was saved, with the ex- ception of/some of the ships cats, and cats. as Kipling says, prefer to walk alone. Over the side went Bill Anxac. an Australian parrot in cage: a gray squirrel had the run of . raft; a fox, terrier and her puppies are now guests of the ohacers of . destroyer. And 1t was ell done decently and in order.
 The bandmaster who was wont to call upon his band to fall in by means of certain call on his cornet had saved that instrument and when the men were in the boats they heard from destroyer the old familiar cor net sing out ,and across the water came a great noise of laughter from all the boats because the little joke had struck home. The men had lost their ship, were miles from anywhere, in open boats. but they could see the humor of 1t.
 It wasn't exactly courage, because heaps of men were in a funk; and 1t wasn't exactly bluff, because you can't put up q bluff in a sinking ship. and the sea looks awfully big whom ono can't see any land. and there's just handful of officers running the job and enough boats, and . fearful ignor- ance of maritime geography.

WARNS BRITAIN ID
 WATCH HER MARINE
Fierce Competition After War Predicted by Sir Owen Phillips

Liverpool, May 25.--while loyalty accepting the governments action in taking over virtually all vessels for war purposes, Sir Owen Phillips, chairman of the Royal Mail and oth- CT steamship companies, in a speech at 8 meeting of tn Holt Line said the problems of the future must not be lost sight of if the British mercantile marine Is to hold its own hereafter.
 Bearing in mind the virtually es- sential character of the service of the British mercantile marine, whether in peace or war. and what the gov. ernment of other countries-friendly and the reverse-are doing or pro- pose to do to foster their respective merchant navies," he said, i've trust our government will be wide awake to the now conditions likely to arise. and will see to 1t that British ship ping shall not be~unfairly handicapped in the fierce competition which will ensue with tho stAte-Aided merchant fleets of our present enemies, of neu- trals. or even of our Allies.
 ''The intervention of state depart ments in shipping affairs may be desirable and necessary under the ab- normal stress of war conditions but in my opinion tho unique position ob- tained by British shipping which has been of such incalculable aid to the country throughout its course, was due to the individual and unfettered energy, enterprise and resourceful- ness of our shipowners.
 There has been some talk lately of the naturalization of British ship ping. If such policy were seriously to be entertained there would be grave danger of our losing our pre- mier position in the shipping world and trust therefor. the government will realize tho desirability, in the national interest, of reverting. as soon as circumstances permit to in- diyidual endeAvor and freedom from government interpretation except where

THE CARES OF A BISHOP
GLENNON OF ST.
LOUIS OUTLINES THE MANI
FOLD NATURE OF THE WORK,

There is, first of ALL the care of
all the churches. The smallest out
lying mission must have a place in
his mind. The parish church, the
parish school, the parish priest, the
congregation, every change that is
made, every building that is erected,
every mortgage that is recorded,
every lease that is made, every child
that is to be confirmed, every item
Of receipt and expenditure in the
diocese has to pass under his eye,
recognized, criticized, encouraged and
blessed by him.
Every priest that has the care of
souls, pastor or an assistant, must
be known to him, because of his
strength, his ability, his devotion and
his fitness. Every transfer, correc-
ton and promotion is part of his
duty. He must have in mind the well
fare, discipline and progress of every
religious community within his do
cese. He has to order Retreats, give
faculties, promulgate laws. Every
new parish created has by him to be
carefully considered. Every student
for the diocese ordained has to be by
him carefully prepared.
Interested in the welfare of every
church and of every soul in the do
cese, he has to look with particular
care, personal and immediate inter
est in his own, that is, his cathedral
church, wherein the liturgy of the
Church shall find it's fullest expires.
sion; and every feature thereof be at
once an inspiration and an example
to the entire diocese. And then OF
this, and of all these, accurate ac.
count must be placed in the archives
of the diocese, and duly reported
from time to time to the great shep
herd of Christendom, the Holy
Father, to whom, as the priests dc
to the Bishop of their diocese, sc
the Bishop shall turn with love, ven
Grafton and devotion, as the chief
pastor. the symbol Of the Church s
unity-the expression under heaven
of it's highest authority, the success
sor of st. Peter, to whom was given
for all the Church the duty of feed
| ing the lambs and of feeding the
sheep.
And even when this chapter Of &C
tivities and duties is recorded the
Bishop must remember that while he
is busy about others, he must MOI
forget himself; that even antedating
his mission to save others, is the
| more direct one, to save himself; as
st. Paul says, Lest preaching tt
others, I myself should become {
castaway."

AT DAILY SACRl.
FIcE Is URGED BY ENGLISH
BISHOP.

Rt. Rev. Bishop Amigo, of South
wick, England, has urged his people
to more frequent attendance at the
Holy Sacrifice. He says:
THE instinct of the faithful, with
the blessing of the Church to sane
ton it, has led them to go to the
priest in their troubles and needs,
temporal and spiritual, asking him to
offer the Mass for their special bene.
fit. Experience has shown them how
great are the benefits which flow from
the Holy Mass. Sinners are convert
ed. souls receive the gift of Faith, vo-
cations are given, sorrows assuaged,
enemies reconciled, quarrels averted,
worldly cares deprived of their sting,
and the wide gulf of death almost
bridged across-almost, for the Church
cannot exercise over the sad realms
of Purgatory that absolute authority
which is hers while we are still on
earth. She offers Masses for the holy
dead by way of suffrage as it is
called, beseeching our Lord mercifully
to apply some, at least, of the fruits to
those whom we loved on earth, and
with whom through Him we are still
united.

leased once for all from the disabili.
ties and penalties OF the past with
one or two exceptions that have re-
manned in abeyance), and untram-
melled by any new claim of the Gov
eminent to interfere in our affairs, we
have the results of nearly a century's
continuous progress to attest the in
exhaustible vitality of a Church that
is free.
Our nation struck this keynote in
the very first clause of the Great
Charter to which, seven hundred years
ago, it forced King John to set hand
and seal. THE Church shall be free
free, that is, from secular interior
ence, whether by way of royal patron
age or royal violence. In those days,
the Church was established" even
more firmly than the Crown itself, and
was endowed" with large proper
ton of the national wealth. Yet it
was realized then, as now, that self
government is of incomparably great
er value to her than any form of polit-
ical tutelage, sympathetic or unsympa-
thetic; and that no grants of money
or prestige can compensate her for
the loss Or diminution of her indepen-
dence.

THE CHURCH AND ART

ually stimulating in the entire history
OF the world, and he asserted in tones
measured, deliberate and resonant.
that sounded like the tolling bell of a
passing soul, that the greatest eco
nomic disaster in the history OF Eng
land was the suppression OF the mon
asteries.
The writer in "The observer" con-
tinued:
And yet this is the second time
within a few months that the self
styled culture" of Pittsburg has been
made to vince under such language,
and from unimpeachable authority.
Shortly before Christmas, Mr.. George
DeForest Brush, one of the leading
painters of modern times, in lecture
on painting, told his audience that
not until return to the unity OF faith
had been accomplished would there be
any modern painting worthy OF COM
parison with the masterpieces pro-
duced under Catholic auspices, GEN.
turtles before the religious revolution
in the 10Th century had shattered the
unity of faith.
1t is doubtful if these two lectures
will have much effect on the audi
ences that listened reluctantly to
them. But at least they will buttress
the faith of the many Catholics who
attended them. Many more of our
Catholic people should attend them,
instead of going to the movies every
night, or the cabaret, or to vaudeville.
Listening to such lectures will enable
Catholics to look squarely in the eye
any hereto in the world, and any
atheist in the land, and challenge
them to produce single masterpiece,
born in heresy or infidelity, in any of
the fine arts that will bear com
parison with the classic monuments
OF Catholic faith, that are still the
wonder and the admiration of the
modern world.

APPRECIATION OF MASS

The consoling practice of Masses
for the dead not only comforts the
bereaved, but through the mercy of
our Lord, most powerfully helps the
departed to pay that debt to God S
justice, which is delaying their eter-
nal recompense. At the present time
we witness touching desire among
our separated brethren to do some
thing for the brave dead, but they are
not able to come to their assistance
by the holy Sacrifice.
Monuments, street shrines, me-
mortal services, may, indeed, assuage
for while the grief of the living,
but, alas, they cannot reach the dead.
The Holy Sacrifice is ours and we
Catholics, as children of the Holy
Mass, must feel it our privileged task
to supply for those who have it not,
by redoubled zeal in attending that
divine Sacrifice
Let it be our endeavor to help
every soldier, sailor, and civilian
who has fallen, both by attending as
many Masses as possible, and by pro-
curing as far as our means allow,
Masses to be offered for the fallen
whose friends know nothing of the
Mass. 1t is holy and wholesome
thought to pray for the dead, that
they may be loosed from SINS"

PRINTING INVENTED
BY CISTERCIANS
THREE HUNDRED YEARS EAR
LIER THAN SUPPOSED.

Amid manuscripts done by crafts
men of the middle ages, in a gallery
in Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, lies a
manuscript of the Cistercian Order,
done in the early half of the 18th CEN
tury, which bears witness to the dis
covery of the principle of printing 800
years before the date generally recog-
nized for that discovery, notes the Chi
cago Tribune. The book belongs to
Wilfried M. Voynich, of London, Eng
land.
The manuscript in question deals
with the teachings of ST. Augustine.
The startling feature is in the deco
rative initials. These show the same
style for every use of the same letter,
and the raised impress or Offset on
the reverse of the page proves that,
instead of being drawn or colored in
dividually, they were made by the use
of large movable blocks of type.

of the world wherever the church is
established or is being established
We know of no order in this country
that is devoted exclusively to mission
airy work.
Is it wrong to read such magazines
as the "smart Set" "Snappy Stories"
"Live Stories" ETC.?
We are not personally acquainted
with the above mentioned literature
and we do not grieve over our loss.
From the information furnished by
the inquirer and from the titles of
the publications we would judge it to
be wrong to read such papers. God
intended that man should use his in
telligence to good purpose, that it
should be neither idle, dissipated, nor
occupied with vain, foolish, or sinful
subjects. Setting aside even the re-
sponsibility that we owe God for the
right use of our mind, it would seem
criminal waste and injury to oneself
to allow our brightest faculty to be
clOuded with the miasma that is ever
rising from stories that are criminally
suggestive. We are hidden to pray
that we may not be led into tempta-
ton. This means that we must
avoid temptation so far as it is pos
sible. He who loveth the danger shall
perish therein.

ALTAR WINE SHIPMENT
MATTER SHOULD BE TAKEN OUT
OF THE HANDS OF DIFFER
EMIT STATES.

The Pittsburgh Observer is of the
opinion that congress should legalize
the interstate shipment of altar wine.
The Observer says:
While the Anti-Saloon League, in
fighting the liquor evil, insists that
the churches be protected in their
inalienable right not to have their re.
ligious services molested by law, it is
beyond its power to control all the
"drys," and Kansas already has pro-
duced fanatic who wishes to take
advantage of the recent Webb-Ken-
yon decision to bar altar wines from
the State. This individual, Senator
Montee, author of a bone dry bill
utterly refuses to have the measure
amended to admit sacramento and
medicinal liquors. While he does not
tell where he secured the gift of in
fallibility, or just why he is qualified
to improve on Christ, he pronounces
the following decree:
IF wine and other liquors are a
bad thing for average humanity, they
are not necessity for religious wor.
ship. If they are a necessity for the
perfection of the Church, let's all have
little perfection. There is no reason
in the world why religious or
ganization should use intoxicating Ii
quor, even in the smallest amount
for religious worship"
Unless Congress acts, there will be
a constant fight all over America with
backwoods fanatics who are thor
oughly convinced that they must leg
islate the Catholic Church out of bust
ness if the nation is to be saved
While, as matters stand just at pres
ent, the Webb-Kenyon decision has
not affected the procuring of altar
wines, it has given the States the final
word in this matter.
The solution seems to be with Con
gress While perhaps a law compell
ing the States to admit medicinal Ii
quors might not stand the test of the
United States Supreme Court, it is
likely that one guarding religious lib
erty would.
Not only Catholics, but some of the
Protestant churches use real wine in
their communion service.

REMARKABLE TRIBUTE GIVEN TO
CATHOLIC ART BY Mr.. CRAM.

The well-known master of architec-
a n-Catholic in faith, recently gave
in Pittsburg lecture, listened to by
an audience of nearly 1000 invited
guests and leaders of the artistic, edu-
cational and social work of the city.
A summary of the lecture appears in
the Pittsburg Catholic.
Mr.. Cram develops the thesis that
the world owes much to Chris
tan civilization, and by Christian
civilization Mr.. Cram lost no time
in stating to his startled audi
ence that he meant the Catholic faith,
submission to the successor of st.
Peter, and society organized on the
basis of Catholic ideals. Architecture,
he maintained, is the index of peo-
pies civilization at any stage of it's
career, and Gothic architP lecture is the
most perfect form of construction de-
vised by the mind of man, and it is
the matured flower of Christian civ
ilization. He attributed the rise OF
Gothic architecture to five things,
Norman blood, Monasticism, Catho-
lie faith, Sacramento Theology, and
a Christian commonwealth. He talked
continually of the grace of God, the
sacraments, the Papacy, and the
saints, whom he mentioned in an al
most endless litany. He denounced
heresy as being the death-blow OF
genuine Christian architecture, and
he drew deadly parallel between the
constructive achievements of the
monks and the destructive activity OF
the heretics who fostered the relig'
ious revolution in the 18th century
He called the Middle Ages the most
wholesomely organized, the most
sanely balanced, and the most spirit
