THE QUOTA OF CATHOLIC CHAP
LAINS TO BE LOWERED
IN THE ARMY.

On June 3rd, 1916, Hon. Newton d.
Baker, secretary of war, approved the
plan of distributing army chaplain
cies, according to the strength of the
various denominations, and the reason
for adopting this plan was the fact
that the chaplancies were very UNI
evenly divided among the denomina-
tons. Some had much more and
others much less than they were en-
titled to, and it was felt that this plan
would be just to all.
This distribution was to be based
on the statistics of DR.. H. K. Carroll,
a non-Catholic, and at one time spe-
cial agent of the United States census
office, but now in the employ of the
Federal Council of the Churches of
Christ in America
June s, 1917, Ca year later) the adj
jutant generals office of the war de-
partment issued an official table,
showing how the present chaplain va
cancies in the regular army, and the
new army to be formed shortly, will be
distributed. One paragraph of this
communication reads as follows:
"The Roman Catholic claim all bap.
tized in the Faith as members, where
as other denominations claim only
communicates. Therefore, it is not
possible to give them their ratio, SO
the old apportionment sixteen out OF
sixty-seven, in vogue prior to June 8
1916, is adhered to-"
In this arbitrary way the quota OF
Catholic chaplains is lowered from IS
per cent to % per cent. Instead OF
getting fifty-seven chaplains out of the
one hundred and forty-four to be ap
pointed in the regular army, the Cath
Ollie Church is offered only thirty-four
The same proportion is maintained
for the new army to be formed.

right; danger lies in parliament and
the control it exercises through bure-
aucracy over elections and such.
Against this is to be put the warning
of a thoughtful person here: 1T will
not then be parliament; it will be the
men back from the trenches who will
take charge" But in any case there
must be a government, and from any
government, certainly from one of the
nature of the present, which contains
elements avowedly hostile to religion,
Rome, though charitable and generous,
will be prudent in securing clear guar
antees for the good of the Church.
While it is too big to bargain, it is
at the same time too wise to give all
and get nothing-to allow France all
the advantages of relations without
the compromising guarantee of at least
Christian treatment for French Cath
olics. For from any such hurried and
insecurity founded arrangement, harm
to the Church, consequent on inevi-
table disagreement, would arise; Sc
cure foundations are Rome's first
thought.
France Always Catholic.
But also - however interesting
France may be, and the rediscovery
of the fact, always known to those to
whom France was known, that what
ever be it's government, France is and
always has been Catholic, is indeed
interesting-there is an even bigger
thing behind all this. It is the dis
covery-rediscovery one might again
say-that the Pope exists. Here is our
Republican politician shouting of the
political influence of the Papacy; and
at the same time we have millions of
people looking for changed political
and social conditions in the world after
the war is over. 1t is not a big jump
to put the two together and find in
the Holy Father the moral sanction
for the longed-for clean-living of the
civilized world. 1t is what more than
one person is saying just now.

Boston again takes the lead, says
the Pilot. One more lay activity has
been added to the many works en-
couraged by His Eminence, the Cardi-
nal.
Beginning on Boston Common the
afternoon of July 18th, David Cold
stein, the well-known Knights of Co
lumbus lecturer, and Arthur B. Cor
bett, sergeant of the Massachusetts
Ninth regiment, assisted by Paul Han
ley Furfey, A. M; George Collier Nc
Kinning, A. NJ, and other recent grad
yates of Boston college, will start an
outdoor campaign in the Diocese of
Boston Ito make the Church better
known and loved" They will visit
town after town speaking and distrib-
uting literature.
A special auto-van is being built for
the work, that in itself will be hand
some advertisement for the Catholic
cause. Besides speaking in the parks,
the squares, at street corners and sea.
shore resorts, addresses will be deliv.
cred from the auto-van at Catholic
field-day gatherings, picnics and on
church grounds.
The work will be under the direc.
ton of the Executive Committee OF
the Catholic Truth Guild, the officers
Of which are Martha Moore Avery
president; David Goldstein, secretary
and Arthur B. Corbett, assistant sec.
rotary.
The purpose of the Catholic Truth
Guild is to present the doctrines, his
tory and practices of the Catholic
church in a manner that shall leave
no reasonable ground for those OF
other religious belief to take offense
while showing forth the claims of the
Church as being the one our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ founded. His
Eminence, the Cardinal, will bless the
officers of the guild and the auto-van
after High Mass at the Cathedral on
July 1.
The main work of the campaign will
devolve upon Mr.. Goldstein. He has
just returned from his fourth annual
Knights of Columbus lecture tour, af
ter addressing hundred meetings in
as many cities in nine of the South.

WILL OF THE LATE DUKE OF
NORFOLK.

The will of the late Duke of Nor
folk has been proved in the English
courts. Out of an estate valued for
probate at $1,500,OG0 personal, he
leaves nearly 100000 to Catholic OBJ
jects. His estates and his five seats
with their contents go of course to his
son, the little Earl of Arundel, and
though the duchess is made executrix
of the will there is no provision for
her. as she is already we'll provided
for by marriage settlements and has
property of her own, being Baroness
Herries before she married. Legacies
are left to his brother, Lord Edmund
Talbot, and his daughter, also to other
relatives and to each servant on the
great estates in Sheffield, Derbyshire,
Sussex and elsewhere who had been
in the dukes employ six months. To
the Catholic Bishop of Southwark a
sum of $15O,OO0 is left for the endow-
ment of the splendid Catholic church
of st. Philip Neri, Arundel. This
church, built by the duke, was des.
tined by him to be the seat of a dio.
cese, hence the large provision for its
income. A sum of $15O,OOO is also left
to the Bishop of the diocese for the
building and endowment of Catholic
church in Norwich. A sum of $4,000
is placed in trust for the education
of students for the secular clergy OF
England. An amount of $4,000 is set
aside for the completion and endow'
ment of the noble Catholic church at
Ashby-de-la-Zouche, which he began
to build some years ago in memory OF
his first wife, and $4,000 is left for

NoTRE DAME SCHOOL OF
AGRICULTURE OPENS
IN SEPTEMBER.
Great Catholic University Has Pre-
pared Wonderful Course for ..

Great Catholic University Has. Pre-
pared Wonderful Course for .,
Aspiring Farmers.
The first school of agriculture lead
ing to the degree of B. S. A. (Bache-
lor of Science in Agriculture) in a
Catholic institution of learning will
be opened in the University of Notre
Dame next September.
Three reasons are given by the au-
thorities of this university for the
establishment of Department of Ag-
riculture; first, the pressing wide
spread need for scientific farming;
second, the frequent demands for this
work from young men, who prefer to
attend a Catholic university; and,
third, the rather exceptional facilities
for carrying out the prescribed sub
jects in Agriculture at Notre Dame.
These special facilities are the numer-
GUS existing scientific courses in the
university, and the three thousand
acre farm, which, under the manage
ment of Brother Leo, G. S. c., is con-
sidered the model farm of Northern
Indiana.
Instances are known at Notre
Dame. and probably at other Catholic
| universities, where Catholic young
men, failing to find Catholic school
for the study of agriculture, took up
| the work in a state school, and in
the religionless atmosphere of their
surroundings gave up the practice of
their faith.
w. A. Johns, M. S. A., formerly head
of the school of agriculture in the
University of Kentucky, is dean of
the new department. The full course
leading to a degree is of four years
duration. For the benefit of young
men whose previous schooling has
been insufficient or who cannot give
four years to study, a short course
of two years will be given.
The full course covers such subjects
as live stock Judging and selection
breeds and market classes, horticul
ture, forage crops, grain growing
farm mechanics, agricultural engi
neering, vegetable gardening, soils
soil fertility, entomology, feeding
farm animals, agricultural economics
rural sociology, agricultural educa
ton. stock breeding, farm poultry
farm operations, farm management
dairyfng and cooperative marketing
Under the head of Rural Sociology
alone will be studied such subjects
as rural vital statistics, the shifting
of the rural population, community
hygiene and sanitation, good roads
the rural Catholic church, the rura
school and community cooperation
for community betterment.
The Notre Dame farm with Its
ample acres for experimental work
is one of the noted farms in the
west. 1t Produces the largest crops
per acre in corn, wheat, potatoes and
alfalfa in Northern Indiana, and its
cattle have won prizes in every ma
tional cattle show in which they have
been exhibited. The farm is in two
sections, about twelve hundred acres
