Germans Asked to Do 50 Through

BERLIN. September 17.-Delegates to
the convention of the League of Ger

to German citizens to rebuke President
Wilson for attempted interference in
German domestic affairs by participat-
ing actively in the forthcoming war
loan.
IF money talks" says the manifesto
"the President may learn by October 1S
when the subscription lists close. that
the echo of the new war fund given by
the German people will have drowned
out completely the clamor Of unending
protests to which his reply to the Pope
has given stimulus"

In designing skirts for fall and win

are shown in far greater number than
are the draped skirts. Virtually the
only kind of drapery featured consists
of low placed loops on either side, with
the skirt proper narrowing to the hem.
odd girdles and belts are designed to
take the place OF draperies. and in ad-

of the dye situation that affects every
thing from shoe polish to house paint.
the new cretonneS, even of the ma
chine-stamped sort at 5 cents a yard,
are remarkably charming in color.
There are some attractive japanese
chintzes on the market. Some, with a
little gold worked in the pattern, are
not recommended for cushions or other
uses where they are constantly rubbed.
But they are quite satisfactory for
hangings of all sorts. where they do
not get the direct wear that they would
get as cushion covers.

spccIpl Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, September ia letter
from Paris says that the reopenfnS OF
Paul Poirets house on the Avenue
dAntin, which has been practicaiiy
closed since the beginning of the war
was greeted with enthusiasm by the
Americans who were in Paris
The writer goes on to say that the
costumes were better suited to Ameri-
can women than any fashions which
Poiret has projected SO far. 1t may
mean that this extraordinary artist has
banked his fires somewhat. and one Is
not quite sure whether that IS cheer
full Niece OF news or not.
Before the war Poiret was ent1reiv
careless of colors. materials and sill
houettes. and i'm that negligent, artistic
spirit he created clothes with certain
beauty. daring and inspiration that no
one else attempted.
It was argued that American women
could rarely wear Poirets clothes as
they stood. because he created out or
his own brain. regardless of the selling
qualities of what he made. The French
women. especially the actresses. wore
his gowns to their entire satisfaction
He was bit impatient, probably. over
thinking of costumes in terms of francs
and dollars and as to whether or not
they suited the women who walked the
main streets of American cities.

each one demands as condition

already responded in this sense.
1t is not to be expected, however,
that the conditions laid down by
every nation will coincide. They
will, nevertheless, furnish work
ing material for a new basis of ar
bitration, by taking up the differ

now separate the belligerent pow

both the Pope's appeal and to
Mr.. Wilson S answer. The Cath
Ollie leaders advise calm and
thoughtful examination Of both
documents.
In France the great Catholic
leader, Denys Cochin, said of the
Holy Fathers letter: "Did the
Pope speak in vain? No; because
his voice has been listened to.
Did he speak inopportunely? No;
the highest moral authority in the
world was obliged to speak. Did
he speak with partiality? No one
has been able to pretend so. He

JUBILEE MEMORIAL

Archdiocese of Saint Paul, together
with those Of the suffragan and ad-
jacent diOceses, must ever remain
your debtor. If, as Saint Gregory the
Great affirms: "Ars est artium regi-
men animarum," how measure the re-
sponsibility of him who is charged
with the training and grounding in
virtue of those into whose hands are
committed the future of diocese and
the welfare of the redeemed flock of
Christ! That weighty task, however.
you have discharged with honor to
yourself and daily increasing gain to
Mother Church.
We thank you, dear Father, for hav-
ing taught us to realize the moral
grandeur of our priesthood, for having
fixed our gaze in the days of our youth
on the BLESSED Vision of Peace"
You have been our exemplar, the liv-
ing embodiment of the principles you
so ardently inculcated. Modest and
humble withal, you have been content
to plow lonely furrow, and for the
most part to scatter the seeds of the
supernatural life along secret ways
and gardens dear to God. Now at last
that the burden is lifted and the
shades lengthen, look around you and
behold how the sheaves stand in good
ly rows ready to be garnered by the
divine Husbandman.
May He, the bountiful Giver of all
good gifts, increase your store, and
grant you length of peaceful years to
enable you still to follow that Divine
Master Whom you have served long
lifetime, and Whom to serve is to
reign.

DISRUPTION IN SIGHT
NEW DIVORCE LAW MAY DE-
STROY THE ANGLICAN
CHURCH.

There are signs of an immense
change in the Church of England.
The taking of ecclesiastical students
and the numbers of priests invalided,
wounded and killed mean dearth of
priests in a few years time, but it is
possible that that dearth may be sup
piled in an unexpected way. Dean
Inge has just declared that Christ
never founded Church at all, and
that Catholicity is the Oldest Chris
tian religion, but is based on the best
of paganism, etc. This shows the
disrupted condition of the Church of
England. But there is still more to
come. 1t is generally believed that
the bill providing for divorce after
five years separation will go through,
and many priests believe that it will
mean the influx into the Church of
all the really earnest ministers.
Protestant women seem to be jibing
at the idea of marriage at all. and
the wife of high New Zealand Off
cial has been openly advocating the
limitation of families. The new di-
vorce law will destroy all but Catho-
lie families. for women. who may be
deserted and divorced in five years
and who are already unscrupulously
selfish will not have families. Hence
it follows that England will again be
Catholic at some distant date even
without wholesale conversion, since
Catholics will provide the future Of
the race. 4

FREE POLAND
EUROPE CANNOT AFFORD TC
LOSE THIS ANCIENT AND
GALLANT PEOPLE.

We believe in liberty. 1t is an
American principle that every people
on this earth has right to self-gov-
ernment.
With our whole heart we stand
with the gallant and noble Poles in
their struggle for liberty; and we re-
joice that the day of their liberation
is dawning.
Three wrongs never made a right,
and three rulers never ensured con-
tentment. The time draws near when
the Poles of Russia, the Poles of
Austria and the Poles of Germany
will be united into one great free
Polish nation. Stranger things have
come from lesser wars. And in the
providence of God it seems as though
the mighty struggle now going on in
Europe will have as one of its results
the freedom of Poland.
The Poles are a wonderful people.
Their history teens with events that
prove their worth. They were once
the sole hulwark of Europe against
the Mohammedan hordes and they
still retain the strength and virility,
the fire and genius of a mighty nation.
Arthur Symons, the man Of letters,
wrote of them: ''The Polish race, to
those who are acquainted with it, is
the subtlest and most delicate, and
one of the noblest and most heroic
races of Europe. It's existence should
be as precious to Europe as that of a
priceless jewel"

In his letter to the new soldiers
President Wilson stated forcibIy
Let it be your pride, therefore
to show all men everywhere not
only what good soldiers you are,
but also what good men you are,
keeping yourselves fit and straight
in everything, and pure and clean
through and through. Let us set
for ourselves a standard so high
that it will be glory to live up
to it, and then let us live up to it,
and add a new laurel to the crown
OF America. My affectionate con.
fidence goes with you in every
battle and in every test. God keep
and guide you!'

CLUBS in CAMPS
X. OF c. ARE ONLY ORDER PER
MITTED IN cANTONMENTS.

In letter to Representative Howard
of Georgia, Secretary of War Baker
makes a ruling that Masons, Odd Eel
lows and other fraternal organizations
cannot erect clubhouses in army
camps. Previous orders, however,
will stand permitting buildings to be
erected by the Y. M. c. A., Knights of
Columbus and the Young Mems He
brew Association.
Secretary Baker says that owing to
the misinformation on the subject,
the Department has been flooded with
ganizations, athletic organizations and
fraternal bodies asking the right
to operate exclusively for their own
membership within the camps. Secre-
tary Baker points out that this could
not be done in the army and that the
three organizations named for years
have been operating with the army,
and that in general they cover the en-
tire religious makeup of any body of
men.
Provost Marshal General Crowder
announced last week that men en-
gagged in war work for the Y. M. G. A.
or kindred organizations will in no
case be exempted from actual military
service, if they are physically fit and
of age to serve. This decision was
rendered on account of requests that
have been made to discharge or ex-
empt such men, or to assign them as
soldiers to this duty.

NOT A FAILURE.

The proposals which Pope Ben
edict sent to the various warning
nations, calling upon them in the
name of humanity and of justice
to think over terms of peace, can
not by any means be called a
failure. Certain papers and
speakers Of exceedingly small
bore and shortsighted vision
seemed to he under the impress
sion that the Papal offering was
a complete failure inasmuch as
the nations did not Immediately
lay down their arms. The effect
upon all thinking men and
statesmen, especially, has been
deep and powerful. Various
journals In England, and a few
in America seem to resent what
they call the undue interference
of the Holy See in matters politi,
cal. Aside from their political
considerations, however, such
critics seem to ignore the fact
that there are millions of Catho
lies engaged in the great upheav-
al. While not the only reason fol
the Holy Fathers solicitude fol
peace, still it may be said that
this fact adds strength to the
force of his appeal.
Already indications are notice
able that the governments Of the
world have been deeply impress

ALWAYS IN DEBT.

There is certain class Of peo-
pie who seem never able to catch
up with their obligations. Many
persons, it is true, are from time
to time embarrassed financially,
and thus obliged to depend upon
the goodwill Of their creditors.
Such condition is liable to hap
pen to the best meaning person
in the world.
There is a class, however, and a
large class it is, composed of those
who forever live beyond their
means and their necessities. For
as rule, the ordinary necessities
Of life can easily be met by ordi-
nary means.
There is a man who has been
styled chronic credit seeker. He
indulges in luxuries not only be-
yond his requirements but also
beyond his hope of honestly pay
ing for. He does not often abuse
the credit Of large firms, at least
not for any great time, for the
simple reason that these firms
hold him to frequent accounting.
His ordinary prey is to be found
among those whose business is
small. Oblivious Of the fact that
justice is involved, he makes al
most continuously his ready vic
tim the parish church. Pew rent,
official collections, and other
dues, he looks upon in the light
Of charity, which may easily be
disregarded; whereas in reality
these things are so strictly mat
ter of justice that the Church has
formulated commandment for
their enforcement.
A writer in the New Century
points the matter very clearly
"What business have | to use
and enjoy that which belongs to
another? It isn't mine until it is
paid for. Why should | ask my
baker to loan me his bread to eat
until I am rich enough to pay for
it? That is the fallacy of going
into debt. People supply them
selves upon credit with what they
think they must have their whole
lives begin forthwith to be a con
stant using of things not paid for
their whole existence gets to be
a task Of standing off their butch
er, their baker and their candle
stick maker. No genuine self-re-
spect can be bred under such cir
cumstances; it is either a cease
less round of apologies or a braz
en- callousness to just obligations
Under what compliment, pray, is
the man who furnishes me with
goods at a price agreed upon
Why should / ask him to seno
around a collector and chase uI
my convenience before he gets
his money? Isn't it rather my
duty to go after him with the pay
for what he has furnished me
Does the business of the debt, OF
the propriety of paying i
promptly, depend upon being
dunned for it?'
