| The Kid has gone to the Colors
And we don't know what to say;
The Kid we have loved and cuddled
Stepped out for the Flag to-day.
We thought him child, a baby
With never care at all,
But his country called him man-size
And the Kid has heard the call
He pauses to watch the recruiting,
Where, fred by the fife and drum,
He bowed his head to Old Glory
And thought that it whispered:
Gomez
The Kid not being Stacker,
Stood forth with patriot-joy
To add his name to the roster
And God, we're proud of the boy
The Kid has gone to the Colors
1t seems but little while
Since he drilled schoolboy army
In a truly martial style.
But now he's man, a soldier,
And we lend him listening ear
For his heart is heart all loyal,
Unscourged by the curse of fear
His dad, when he told him, shuddered,
His MOTHERHOOD bless her!-cried;
Yet, blest with a mother-nature,
She wept with mother-pride
But he whose old shoulders Strengthened
Was Granddad-for memory ran
| To years when he, too, youngster,
Was changed by the Flag to man!
This may not be great" poem, but
if any parent can read it without it'll,
thrill, without little surge of emotion
then he or she isn't worthy of having 6

NEED OF A FRIEND
ENGLISH PRoTESTANTS WOULD
ASK HIS HOLINESS TO CON-
DENIM SlNN FEM.

After abusing the Pope and attack
ing him for his peace proposals, we
now find English Protestants prepared
to run to him to save Ireland from
Sim Fein, and incidentally allay Eng
lands anxiety. E1Asor HEint, a-Bnion-
list member, asked the house recently
whether in view of the fact that the
late Duke of Norfolk had appealed to
the Pope against the Fenians, His
Holiness could not be asked at the
present time to forbid his priests to
join Sim Fein or support it from the
pulpit.
The chancellor said that such a pro-
posed act on the part of the British
government aroused many questions,
and in any event needed much think
ing out before the principle involved
was adopted. OF course, such an ap-
peal to the Pope would be an admis-
sion of his supreme right to control
his clergy, and would also reinstate
the old Catholic principle of benefit of
clergy whereby ecclesiastics could not
be treated under the civil law.

PUBLIC ACKNOWLEDGES cATHo-
Lie CHURCH TlTLE-lN A CIVIL
SUIT BISHOP HoBAN PROVES
SOLE RIGHT OF CHURCH TO USE
OF NAME.

The court of common pleas of
Scranton, Pa, in an opinion written
by Judge Edwards, went on record as
refusing a charter to "The Lithuanian
National Catholic Congregation I'm
der the Name of the Providence of
God," because the use of the word
Catholic" would tend to mislead fol-
lowers of the Roman Catholic Church
The Right Rev. M. J. Hoban, Bishop
of Scranton, Pa, was the chief ex-
ceptant to the petition asking for the
charter. He protested that the men
behind the new church were members
of schismatic body who broke
away from St. Josephs Lithuanian
Catholic Church several years ago,
after bitter legal battle, which ended
in victory for the pastor, Rev. John
Kuras, and his followers who remain
ed faithful to the bishop.
There was verbal tilt over the
word Catholic between Bishop Ho-
ban and Attorney w. J. Hand, counsel
for the people who wanted the char
ter, when the bishop was on the stand
testifying before commissioner.
"You know as fact, bishop, that
none of the Protestant churches con-
cede that the Roman Catholic Church
has the exclusive right to the use of
the word 'Catholic'?' Mr.. Hand asked.
Il concede this-your own good min
lister, DR.. Briggs, whom you excom-
municated from your church (Hand is
a Presbyterian and who went to the
Episcopal church, wrote an article in
which he claims the term Roman
Catholic and Catholic are synony-

The general superior of the Order

CATHOLIC AND ROMAN

m not asking you about any one
man. AS d matter of fact, theological
ly and historically, isn't it true the
Protestant and a great many other
churches that are not in communion
with the Pope of Rome, do not con-
cede that the Roman Catholic Church
is entitled to the exclusive use of the
word 'Catholic'?' Attorney Hand per-
sisted.
Practically every man in this town
you among them" the bishop said,
''if you were asked by some man
where the Catholic Church was would
point for him to go down Linden
Street and Wyoming Avenue"
Bishop Hoban said he was familiar
with the movement to change the
name of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in this country to the Ameri-
can Catholic Church, but he added
that the suggestion has been turned
down every year for many years.
I'm not familiar with the beliefs of
the 369 varieties of Professionalism in
this country, but know this as mat
ter of fact: In some creeds the Pro-
testant denominations have dropped
the word Catholic and put in the
word Universal thus admitting spe-
cifcally and plainly the term 'Catho-
lie is applied to the Church in COM
munion with the Bishop of Rome, .
Bishop Hoban answered.
Mr. Hand wished to know if Bishop
Hoban knew anything about the "Old
Catholic Church. The bishop said:
''The government of Germany was
back of that movement and the Swiss
government. You heard of the default
clause?'
The attorney asked the bishop if
there is not an "Old Catholic Church"
not in communion with the Bishop of
Rome.
81 think there is such church on
it's last legs in Switzerland" the
bishop replied.

SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL

the slow restoration to health of a
father grievously stricken. The city
missionary, answering appeals day in
and day out from many sources, has
not had to fear bankrupt treasury.
So, too, our conference visitors. They
know that if particular case threat
ems to be too costly for parish re-
sources, the fund created by your gen
erosity is to be drawn upon.
The work of this society is one of
the most praiseworthy that could be
imagined. The members, at great per-
sonal sacrifice expend time, labor and
resources to minister to the needs of
their unfortunate fellow men. The
object of this work should appeal to
the generous cooperation of every
Catholic in the city.
The Society of ST. Vincent de Paul
not only furnishes food, fuel, house
rent and other living expenses, but
readily assumes medical, hospital and
other needs of the sick, and it buries
the dead. During the past year lodg-
ings were provided for 1875 homeless
men; also many meals were given.
The society aids in the support and
board of infants and in furnishing
warm clothing for victims of tuber-
culosis at the sanitariums-its aid
reaches to many places through many
channels. It's work continues to grow,
and as no work of charity is foreign
to it's purposes, it will continue to
grow and develop in such measure as
your generosity makes possible. Dur
ing the past year the society gave re-
lief to 311 families, embracing 1,139
persons, at cost of $3,919.19.

Branding as utterly absurd charges
that the Vatican was in some mys-
terious manner responsible for the re-
cent Italian reverses, a statement of
the Vaticans peace position has just
been issued by Cardinal Gasparri, ac-
cording to late dispatches from Rome.
The criticism of the Vatican, it ap-
pears, was not originated in Italy,
where the causes of the military dis
aster were known, but it appears to
have been freely circulated among 9TH
er allied nations. 1t is declared to have
been part of an organized propaganda
directed against the Vatican. Cardinal
Gasparri's authorized statement fol-
lows:
The Pope is not preparing any new
appeal looking toward peace. His
earnest desire, many times manifested,
for just, Christian and durable peace,
is unchanged and cannot change. Who
can crave anything else and call him.
self Christian?
ITO say that His Holiness favors or
has favored or will favor an unjust,
un-Christian and uncomfortable peace is
not only false, but also absurd. Any
propaganda for such peace, alleged
to be conducted at the Vatican's in.
spiration, especially in certain nations,
is the product of pure maliciousness.
The Catholic Church has always re-
garded true patriotism as Christian
duty and a Christian virtue, and still
SO teaches. The fact that the Italian
parliament has had warm eulogy for
the clergy should be sufficient to re
fute the calumnies which irresponsible
persons have circulated and are circu-
1ating in the foreign world. Malicious
insinuations propagated in America,
and the tendency to attribute in great
part to the Italian clergy responsible
ty for the recent situation, must be
denounced. In Italy no fair-rninded
person is attributing the situation to-
the clergy.
When the disruptive propaganda
began to affect the morale of the Ital-
ian army, the clergy in general and
also army chaplains, following the in
structions and the example of the
chaplain-in-chief, labored to counter
act it and elevate the morale of the
troops
