RAIDERS AIDED
FROM MEXICO?
Information Reaches NAVY
of Suspicious Clear
ance Of Ships.

Reports that the German raiders in
the Pacific are being supplied from
Mexico have reached the ears of
the government. One report dealt
specifically with the clearance of an
auxiliary schooner from a port on
the west coast of Mexico by Ger
mans known to be active ii the
anti-American propa ganda being
spread I'm the neighbor republic.
The schooner In question is declared
TO have carried a cargo of oil and
canned goods. 1t has been pretty
definitely ascertatned by the Navy De-
partment, according to the statement
of Secretary Daniels today, that the
two raiding vessels are sailing ships
with auxiliary engines.
The navy has been securing the
Pacific for two weeks to locate trace
OF the raiders. The fact that the Ger
mans were active in the Pacirc has
been known in Washington for that
length of time. immediately upon
receipt Of the information the Navy
Department made il known to all
newspapers with the admonition that
no word even limiting at the presence
OF German vessels in the Pacific
should be made public. This action
was to guard against any stories
which might be published upon the ar
rival of trans-Pacifc steamships at
Pacific ports.
Search Is Begun.
A search for the raiders was begun
at that time 1t has been in progress
ever since and no trace Of them has
been found. Information which has
reached the navy has made il plain,
however, that the vessels, while hight
and slow, are well armed and stand
good chance to capture one of the
unarmed steamers which are on trans
Pacific runs. The German crew.
should it capture a steamer. would
be in a position to do great damage.
The Germans, of course. have the
objective of waylaying vessels trans
porting supplies to Russia by way of
Vladivostock. They also could work
serious. havoc with trade from the
Far East to British and French ports
through the Panama Canal. This
route has become very popular since
the submarine activities in the Medi-
terraneon have made the Suez route
perilous.
All Pacific Hunts.
The entire Pacific feet is searching
for the Germans and Japan is CO.
operating, as are British vessels from
the China station. II Is likewise
limited that American ships are keep
ing a cautious eye on vessels sailing
from Mexican ports to see that no
more supplies are allowed to slip
through the blockade.
Oncials regard II as certain that
the Germans will remain wen out at
sea and derend for supplies from the
ships they capture or from what
sources In American neutral nations
their agents can SECURE and clear food

InduIqenced Crucifixes.

Those persons who are physically
or morally prevented from making the
Stations in church through illness, or
any other serious Inconvenience, for
instance, on account of living too
great distance from church, because
of bad weather, travelling, ETC., may
gain the indulgences of the Stations
by reciting 20 times the Our Father,
Hail Mary, and Gloria, provided they
hold in their hands a crucifix indul-
genced for the Way of the Cross and
recite the above mentioned prayers.

light in the mind, and fills it with a
steady and perpetual serenity We
quite agree with The Echo, that
looking on the brighter side is a
good asset:
There is no quality so beneficial
both in our relations with our fellow
men and in all our daily activities, as
cheerfulness. 1t is not so difficult to
acquire as some of us imagine. In
deed there is no possession so valu-
able which can be secured at SO little
cost. We can all be cheerfully good
natured if we try; it is only necessary
to train our habitual thoughts and
actions.
A loving Heavenly Father has Gre
ated us and checrfulness is our nor
NAL disposition in harmony with Him;
but we often make ourselves over
again, and the dark, gloomy DISPOSE
ton we acquire is certainly not in
harmony with or pleasing to God.
No one is inclined to think of a low
ing, tender father after looking at a
self-created dark and gloomy face.
To be cheerful means to give little
thought to the hardships, difficulties
and trials we encounter daily; to look
on the brighter side of our surround
ings, to dwell both in memory and
speech on pleasant and encouraging
happenings and on the amiable char,
acteriSticS Of every acquaintance.
Difficulty and trials cause no despair
to the cheerful person, for they are
encountered with hope and the mind
acquires that happy disposition to
improve opportunities which rarely
fail of success. The cheerful spirit is
as a raw of sunshine, yea golden sun
shine of God. How pleasant it is TO
meet such a one in the daily walks
of life. They are good to look upon,
they make us forget lifes burdens,
and we go on our way better for haV-
inc met them. They inspire us with
confidence and are truly benefactOrS
of the human race.
CARLYLE, who touched human life at
so many points, might be cited here:
Give us, he says, "Oh, give us the
man who sings at his work! Be his
occupation what it may, he is equal to
any of those who follow the same pur-
suit in silent sullenness. He will do
more in the same time-he will do it
better he will persevere longer.
One is scarcely sensible of fatigue
,,.I,ilat no n,orchpc In music Tho very
stars arc said to make harmony while
they revolye in their spheres. Won
drous is the strength Of cheerfulness,
altogether past calculation its powers
OF endurance. Efforts, to be perma-
nently useful, must be uniformly joy
ous-a spirit all sunshine-graceful
from very gladness-bcautiful because
bright!'

HE NEVER FORGETS.

Do you think because your heart
aches with a bitter, cruel pain,
And your life's sweet happy sun
shine
Is Swallowed by storm and rain,
And the music is hushed and silenced
Till you hear but the undertone,
That the dear Lord Jesus forgets
you?
He never forgets His own.
Do you think that because the sor-
row
All human hearts must know
Has come to you or the darling
You loved and cherished so,
And things you want had vanished,
The things you would call your
own,
That the dear Lord Jesus forgets
you?
He never forgets His own.
And we're all His own dear children
And He holds us all as dead
AS you do your own dear wee ones
Who creep to your heart SO near;
And if we only listen
We can hear His tender tone:
ooh, rest in peace, my children,
l never forget my own"

VALUE OF MASS.

How strange it is, believing as we
very deed the sacrifice of Calvary
offered again for our salvation, that
we do not crowd the churches every
morning and come again and again to
Holy Mass! One would think, says
the Queens Work, that even the most
busy and distracted men, if they
even family realized the wonder and
price of a single hearing Of the
Mass, would manage somehow, even
at the cost of the greatest sacrifice,
to get to Mass every morning, so
that the churches scarcely could con
tain them. How more than strange
TO see, even in good and fcryont
parishes, a scanty sprinkling Of Wor-
shippers assisting at this tremendous
sacrifce-not so many as one would
find at even the dullest political
meeting, or in the stuffy atmosphere
OF a movie show!
Clearly we do not appreciate
enough the splendid gift Of God
"IeIcDy ne reviews 50 many times
for us the sacrifice of Calvary. Con
slider what it has cost the most gen
erous Heart of Christ to prepare for
us this morning Offering. The rite
itself is obscure; the whispered
words of the priest, full of tremend-
GUS import though they are, fall only
as murmur on the ear; the church
may be but a poor place, and none
too comfortable or clean, but the deed
done there every morning passes all
words in precious grandeur, in heay-
emily efficacy, because it is a Gods Of
fering of His life and blood to God!

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. ELPHEGE, ARCHBISHOP.

st. Elphege was born in the year
954 of noble Saxon family. He
first became monk in the monastery
of Deerhurst, near Tewkesbury, and
afterwards lived as hermit near
Bath, where he founded a COM
munity under the rule of st. Bene-
dict, and became it's first abbot At
thirty years of age he was chosen
Bishop of Winchester, and twenty-five
years later he became Archbishop of,
Canterbury. In 1011, when the Danes
landed in Kent and took the CITY of
Canterbury, putting all to fire and
sword, St. Elphege was captured and
carried off in the expectation of
large ransom. He was unwilling that
his ruined church and people should
be put to such expense, and was kept
in a loathsome prison at Greenwich
for seven months. AS he still refused
to give ransom, the enraged Danes
fei. u1on him in fury, beat him with
the blunt sides of their weapons, and
bruised him with stones, until one
whom the Saint had baptized shortly
before, put an end to his sufferings
by the blow of an ak. He died on
Easter Saturday, April 10, 1912, his
last words being a prayer for his MUIR
derers. His body was first buried in
st. Paul's, London, but was after
wards transferred to Canterbury by
King Canute. A church dedicated to
ST. Elphege still stands upon the place
of his martyrdom at Greenwich.
When st. Elphege was in prison,
some friends came and urged him to
lay a tax upon his tenants to raise
the sum demanded for his ransom.
What reward can | hope for" said
he, eff | spend upon myself what be-
longs to the poor? Better give up to
the poor what is ours, than take from
them the little which is their own"

WHY WE GO TO CONFESSION.

PenanCe is the sacrament in which
the sins committed after baptism are
forgiven. Penance consists of contri-
ton, confession and satisfaction. Con-
triton is sorrow for sin and a firm
resolve to sin no more; confession is
telling our sins to a duly authorized
priest for the purpose of obtaining
forgiveness; and satisfaction is salts
flying the divine Justice for sins COM
mltted. The one, therefore, who re-
ceiyes this sacrament worthily must
make an earnest effort to find out his
sins; must be sorry for them, and
make up his mind not to commit them
again; must confess them to the
priest, and perform the penance
which he imposes. This penance
should be performed faithfully, and
as soon as possible.
The power of forgiving sins was
given by Our Lord to the priests of
His Church when He spoke these
memorable words: Receive We the
Holy Ghost, whose sins you shall for
give, they are forgiven them: and
whose sins you shall retain, they are
retained" 1t is evident that Our
Lord here instituted penance on the
form of judicial tribunal. The
priest is a judge who hears the
offense (for this reason he must
know the sin, hence the necessity of
confessing it,, passes judgment by
forgiving or not, imposes a punish
ment and prescribes a remedy. The
penitent is the accuser of self, and
the advocate Of his own cause. He
should abide by the sentence, as all
Catholics do.

As many persons who are thus pre-
vented can join in the devotion and
gain the indulgences, provided that
one of them holds the Cross in his
hands. Persons who are extremely i'll
and cannot recite the, above prayers

CAN CATHOLICS LIE?

Can Catholics lie? Rather! | sup
pose you mean may they? It is
quite false to suppose that Catholics
are taught that they may be careless
about lies because they are "only
venial sins" Here is the Church s
doctrine in the forcible words of Car
dinal Newman: "The Catholic Church
holds it better for the sun and moon
to drop from heaven, for the earth to
fail, and for all the many millions on
it to die of starvation in EXTREMIST
