serving at present in the Service de
Sante," has had disastrous effect on
the parishes of France. Whole legions
are now deprived of their priests, and
the aged and infirm clergy, who alone
are left, cannot fulfill the places of all
the absent ones.
Cardinal Dubois has written letter
to the president of the council-gener-
al of the Seine, who has proved SYM
pathetic. He asks the president to
take up this serious matter with the
Chamber of Deputies, which refuses to
recognize the Bishops. He points out
that not all doctors, bakers or men of
other absolutely necessary trades or
professions are taken, and asks that
priests, who are as necessary, should
be treated in like manner. He says
the law of separation professed to
guarantee liberty of conscience and it
cannot ignore the exercises of reli-
gion.
In certain parishes even the Sunday
services have had to be abandoned,
the catechism cannot be taught reg
ularly, children die without baptism
and the sick without the sacraments.
The Cardinal says he appeals now for
the faithful, not for the priests, who
so willingly go, although he considers
that they should be appointed exclus-
lively to the services of charity for
the wounded, which are quite as dan
gerous, but more in keeping with their
sacred calling.
General Pau, of the French army,
has been paying a visit to Fribourg,
seat of the Swiss government. On his
way he visited the two sanctuaries of
Notre Dame de Lorette and Notre
Dame de Bourgillon. On Monday, after
visiting the universities, he called on
the venerable Able Nern, military
chaplain of 1870 and doyen of the
priests of the city. In the afternoon
he was received by the Bishop of Lau-
same and Geneva, Monsignor Col
lizard, who conducted him through the
head Offices of the Catholic Mission
for Prisoners of War and also the
seminary and the collegiate church of
st. Nicholas. The Catholic Bureau is

For a Jewish Kingdom
in Palestine.

The Jews of the United States have
begun new propaganda for the es-
tablishment of a Jewish kingdom in
Palestine. They believe that the time
is ripe towards the realization Of this
long cherished plan.
At recent meeting of prominent
Jews resolutions were adopted pledg-
ing it's realization. After setting out
in the preamble the fact of possible
cooperation with "a number of gov
ernmerts" and with the full coop
Grafton of the American government"
the resolutions declare:
"That the Jewish people require, for
the solution of the Jewish problem,
a publicly secured and legally recog-
nized home in PALESTINE We renew
our allegiance to this ideal, and in
view of the recent democratic devel-
opments in the world, Of which the
Russian revolution is the most signif-
cant, we express our confidence that
all the allies will be eager to recog-
nize the justice of the Zionist pro-
gram"
While events appear now to be shap-
ing themselves in ways to remove the
former objection urged against the
Zionist movement, that it would iso-
late people, leaving them without
any recognized national or information
al status, there are military problems
that will not be so easily overcome.
Palestine is the natural buffer of
Egypt. History shows that Egypt can
be safe from hostile attack only when
it is defended by Palestine. Presum.
ing the dismemberment of the Turk.
ish Empire, and that Jerusalem is to
fall before the advance of British arms
upon the Holy City, it must not be
too readily assumed that England
would willinly relinquish possession of
a territory so significantly important
to the future maintenance of their pro-
tectorate in Europe. In considering
the disposition of Palestine in the
event Of British victory it should be
taken into account that French and
Italian Catholics would naturally re.
sent the administration of the Holy
Land by a distinctly and rather hos.
tile Protestant country. It is is equal.
ly certain that both British and Amer.
lean Christians would not approve any
move that would place Palestine un.
der the dominion of the Greek or Ar.
menian churches.
Great Britain may believe that she
could protect her interests in Egypt
with Palestine as strong shield II
the Holy Land were converted into a
neutral State, whose integrity would
be guaranteed by all the powers. Such
buffer could be erected only by the
united sanction of civilization. In the
present state of international dishon
esty, by courtesy called diplomacy, the
movement will hardly pass the dream
stage.

To wear a robe decolletee in church

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
dilemma.

The Christian Scientists are up
against stir proposition. It may
mean a reputation of some of their
cherished theories or a new and seri-
GUS split in the denomination.
Some of their leaders are claiming
exemption from military service on
conscientious grounds as practitioners
and as readers, which is another name
for Christian Science preachers. The
Board Of Control in Boston, the birth
place and home of the Christian Sci
ence faith, states that such reasons
are not valid and that they do not
properly represent Christian Science.
The question is not only how can a
Christian Scientist on grounds of con-
science or consistency oppose war but
also by what authority does the Board
Of Control attempt to settle the ques.
ton when their church teaches that
the Spirit will direct each individual
and show him the path he should
follow. The Christian Scientist pro
fesses to be q believer of law. The
basis of his law is q belief in divine
law. out of which all other laws
spring. II civil authority be of God
and the Bible says it is. then the
Federal conscription act must be
obeyed. This is both Christian and
scientific. But If an individual mem
Der of the Christian Science cult finds
no such argument in the Bible but
on the contrary finds that war Is al
ways and essentially wrong, the con
sistent reader must admit that he IL
in conscience bound to act according
to his findings and refuse to go tt
war. Verify, 1t is a dilemma.
There Is another angle which ii
none the less embarrassing. It is the
natural side of the question. To re
fuse to go to the front would be al
admission that bullets kill. The goot
patriotic Scientist could not consist
emily allow the possibility that any
faithful follower of the cult coult
come to harm while battling for bill
country's nag.

NATIvIsM APPARENT IN THE
ANTl-ALIEN AGITATION IN
INDIA.
What the Logical Consequences O
Such Scheme Would Be.

A recent issue of the Bombay Elk
considerable light on tendency
which, though quite apparent, has
been generally overlooked. Speaking
of the continued agitation on the part
of certain elements in India against
Jesuits and missionaries of foreign
descent, particularly against those of
German nationality, writer in one of
the Bombay papers is quoted as CIV
ing some interesting data on the per-
sonnet of the Catholic clergy in India.
The hierarchy, according to this writer,
consisted at the outbreak of the war
of nine archbishops and IL bishops.
OF these two archbishops were Ger
man, and two bishops of the same
race. There were approximately 2,400
priests ministering to the vast popula-
ton of this great colony. About half
of these are natives, ESQ were Euro
pean Jesuits, of whom 60 were Ger
man. In all Of India there were only
60 British-born priests.
The agitation connected herewith is

quite prevalent idea that the nation
atty of the priests should coincide
with the nationality of the government
Of the country. That this idea, If it
were to gain acceptance, would work
great harm and seriously impair both
the Catholicity of the church's organ
ization and the efficacy of her mis-
sionary work is evident.
We need but concretely apply this
strange notion to our own country to
realize very clearly what a state of
affairs would obtain were this foolish
nativism to gain Roadway. Our own
country is vast conglomerate of al
most all Of the nations in the world
to which each nation and race, with
few exceptions has contributed effec-
tive and Jealous workers for this vast
vineyard of the faith. Were we to in
stitute anything like so-called Amer
icanism test, Rev. FIR. Gordon, the sole
Indian priest of the states would be
sole survivor.
1t behooves us to keep our heads
and not to let foolishly and wrongly
understood patriotism get the better
OF our common-sense, nor make us
lose sight of the higher interests of
our faith and its proper evangelical
ton.

London for the Victims of the Re-

London, July 21.-The city and the
nation have been mourning the dead
this week. In addition to solemn Re
QUEEN Masses in many parts of Lon
don for the Catholic victims of the re.
cent air raid, an important ceremony
took place at Westminster Cathedral
on Saturday morning last, when, in
presence of distinguished congrega.
ton, including Lord French, General
Sir Francis Lloyd and other military
men, was inaugurated the first of a
series of Requiem Masses for the dead
of the armies and navies in the war.
Cardinal Bourne, who preached, said
that it was desired to found daily
Mass for dead fighters, to be said in
perpetuity. Amongst distinguished
assembly were the Spanish Ambassa'
dor, the Belgian Minister, the Lord
Mayor of London and the leaders of
Catholic society. The music was rem.
dered by the choir, assisted by a regi.

the program was an impressive La

spent her leisure at Aylesbury Jail in

great deal about Ireland in their let
tiers home, under the name of Miss

puzzled the governor Of the prison

CARDINAL GIBBONS on
FOOD CONSERVATION

! W. y u UVUv
After careful survey of the field,
the Government of the United States
has appealed to its citizens to exer.
else the strictest economy in the use
of foodstuffs.
The immediate reasons for this ap-
peal are that the enforced entrance
of the nation into war contemplates
a definite end, and that, unless econ
omy be universally practiced, the re-
alization of that end becomes impos-
sible.
Forestalling the unworthy sugges-
ton that our action is prompted by
mercenary motives our civil rulers as
sure us that the government has en-
barked upon this enterprise for the
sole purpose Of insuring the recogni-
ton and the application of the princi-
pies of justice and of peace in all flu
ture relations of the nations of the
world among themselves.
We have ever been known as a
Christian Commonwealth. Were proof
of this proposition required, it is found
i'm the unalterable devotion of our peo-
pie to the exalted standard thus set
for them by our Chief Magistrate and
his able advisers. To act in a spirit
of justice and of charity towards all
men and thus to establish the reign
of that peace which is the sole guar.
anty of happiness in this world and
is of the very essence of Christianity.
Surely the cause is noble one. AS
such it should engage not only the
loyalty, but also the enthusiastic CO
operation of all who glory in the dou-
BILE title of American and Christian.
Now the officials of our government
seriously warn us that, unless self
restraint in the consumption of food
is to be generally exercised, this glo,
rious ideal must fail of accomplish
ment. The duty to which we must
at once address ourselves is set forth
in the following contentious language:
"To meet the needs of the war and
of the world, we must produce gener-
ously, give freely to our Allies, our
selves eat as much as we need, but
no more, and especially save the
waste"
The necessity of returning, as a ma.
ton, to frugal mode of living is not
less clearly expressed in the succeed
ing paragraph of this important com
munication. The text is as follows:
1.-THE. waste in food amounts to at
least fifty dollars year for every fam
lily in America. The waste of sin.
gle ounce of food each day in every
home means yearly waste of nearly
five hundred millions pounds of food,
The waste of single slice of bread
each day in every home means the
daily waste of a million loaves OF
of needless waste which thus takes
place yearly in the households OF
America can and should be stopped
These astonishing figures lend count
enance to the oft-repeated saying that
a French or a German family could
be supported upon the food which an
American family throws away.
Reason and Revelation supply the
presidents upon which the action OF
our government is based. In virtue OF
the law which God has stamped upon
the face of nature, matter may charge
it's condition and energy may be trans
formed, but we know that no particle
Of matter, as no unit of energy, is ever
lost. In the example of our Blessed
Lord, there is, for every one of US, a
peculiar appeal. Such was His power
that, at any time, He might have
changed stones into bread

SOME MORE FRENZIED FINANCE

Mr.. Lawson is getting. through

ment for which he had to pay years
ago, when he was publishing his
frenzied financial predictions as ad-
vertisements in the newspapers, ad-
vising the purchase and sale of diff
ferent stocks which he seemed to be
manipulating on the Stock Exchange
Now he comes forward with the
declaration that the recent decline
in stocks in New York was a DELHI
crate robbery, amounting to 60 mil
lions of the funds of the people
The robbery was promoted when
these prices were boosted, when the
public was invited to walk into the
Wall-street parlor and deposit its
lhard earnings in the hope of play
ling the game better than Lawson or
the other professional spectators.
The crime, If there has been a
crime, was in boosting the prices to
the present altitude, supported by
the modified earnings, by the mob
iilized reserves, by the modified
nancial power of the banks of the
country arbitrarily controlled by the
men who own no bank stock and
have no responsibility for dividends.
Nevertheless, it was fortunate that
Mr.. Henry's report that there is no
ground for an investigation was not
adopted. Let Congress broaden the
investigation. No man believes that
