WHAT ASToNIsHED HIM.

An Italian prince, who spent
some time in America, is writing
his impressions of the country.
In his preface the prince says:
"What is the explanation of SO
many divorces among you? I
have met many women in New
York and Newport fashionable
society divorced not only once
but twice and often three times.
You know | come from country
where there is no divorce"
The prince is not the first STU
dent in things American who has
been shocked by our divorce laws.
Many visitors from Pagan coun-
tries, to which we are sending
missionaries, are equally aston
ished. 1t is hard for them to un-
derstand that we pride ourselves
on Our Christianity and are
spending millions on our Foreign
Missions.

A COURTEOUS STATEMENT

All the papers, daily and week
ly, are sending up distress signals
over the increased cost of produc-
ton, and especially the increased
price of print paper. Many peri
odicals are raising their prices.
We hope to avoid doing this
until the last moment. But we
do propose to make more prompt
collections. Our subscription
rate is still s. year if paid in adj
vance. Our more appreciative
friends usually remit without the
need OF our billing them. This
is time when prompt payment
meets a general emergency. Look
at the date opposite your name OH
this paper, and help us to keep
the Catholic press popular in its
price by RENTING whatever you
lowe.

BEWARE OF MISSTATE-
MENTS.

Hardly a week passes that we
do not read something about the
Pope's attitude towards one or
other of the belligerents. AS was
to be expected considering the
tainted sources of such news, the
Pope is invariably represented as
favoring the Allies. Now we
must impress on our readers the
fact that the Pope is interested
only in peace and that all reports
of his favoring any one set of
belligerents are false. The Lon
don liars have a purpose in thus
disappearing the August head
of The Church. For one thing it
will help to give the Irish all over
the world better opinion of Eng
land and her Allies. For another,
it will help to reconcile the popu-
lations of France, and of Italy
herself, with their reawakened
faith to their unChristian govern
ments.

OVERWHELMING
SYMPATHY.

In the course of a letter to the
New York World concerning the
numerous appeals appearing in
that and other journals for Bel
GUM, Mr.. Charles c. Barclay
says i'll part: While Belgium has
done a good deal toward protect
ing England, | fail to find a rea-
son for the overwhelming sympa-
thy Americans are supposed to
feel towards the Belgians. What
has Belgium ever done for the
United States that could possibly
merit Our taking her part to such
an extent? The Belgian whose
letters Struggled out of Germany
you printed yesterday says him
self that good soup was served at
the station, but that he would
have none of it, having been &C
customed to better things at
home. In view of that, | wonder
why we were asked to succor sup
poscdly starving Belgium while
our own poor were in want. On
the other hand. we are told that
we ought to have sympathy with
poor Belgium out of regard for
the ri ghts of small nationalitics.
In that case is it not to Ireland,
more than to any other, oppressed
for centuries, to which our hearts
should go out? Ireland has sent
her sons to us, who helped to
make this country what it is to-
day, yet what have we ever done
in return to help her?

A PUBLIC NUISANCE.

We trust that it will be possible
for a New York court to find
some good reason for putting
Harry Thaw out of the public
mind. His presence in America
is not only menace but what is
worse it is a nuisance.
Ever since the public was nau-
seated with the filthy story of the
debauchery of his life the stencil
of moral turpitude has been often
sive ITO the public nostrils. AS
the boosted avenger of an afro
cious wrong he was shown to be
utterly shorn of every right emo
ton of the heart. When he was
committed to the asylum the de-
cent public hoped that he was per-
manently retired from public
gaze. His unnatural cunning and
the money spent in his behalf
have kept his notoriety alive. The
chain OF crime and scandal con-
nected with this degenerate again
threatens to lengthen. In his case
the only reparation that can now
be made to an offended public
decency is to force the unfortu-
nate creature to permanently dis
appear from the haunts of men.
The whole trouble is Thaw and
the judges who once allowed him
to go free. We hope that the
elder Thaws will divert his for
tune into other and worthier
channels than those through
which it has been allowed to flow.

WHAT THE ALLIES WANT

The answer of the Allies to the
Presidents peace note is quite
plain. There is no vagueness in
it's terms.
The principles enunciated
sound we'll. They read like the
Declaration of independence.
Put into execution they would
change the whole face of Europe.
The principal point i'll the answer
calls for "the reorganization of
Europe, guaranteed by suitable
regime and founded as much
upon the respect lof nationalities
and full security and liberty of
economic development which all
nations, great or small, possess,
as upon territorial conventions
and international agreements
suitable to guarantee territorial
frontiers against unjustitied at
tack"
An ideal condition would result
from the program. 1t means that
Germany and her Allies must re-
store all territory acquired by
conquest. Presenting on the sim
cerity of the Entente, it would
mean that Russia will restore
Poland, England will grant lib
erty to Ireland and the Dutch Re-
publics OF South Africa, and Italy
! will restore the papal States to
the Holy Father. The picture is
ideal and will probably long re-
main in the state of ideal.
There is no serious thought
even in the English mind that
Germany will accept the offer OF
her enemies. The only hope is
that it may clear the air and serve
as basis for further negotia-
tons.

PORTRAITS OF CHRIST
FOUND.

Portraits of Christ and the
apostles which, it is believed, may
be authentic, are on an old chal-
ice dug up from the ruins of An
tioch and now in the possession
of a firm OF art dealers located in
New York City. The chalice
came directly to them from the
hands OF the excavators in 1910.
1t can be dated with certainty to
the second half of the first cen
fury, A. D., says DR.. Gustavus A.
Eisen, the archelogist, who is
now in this country, and who has
made a preliminary report upon
it in the American Journal of
Archelogy., 1t was found by
Arabs digging a we'll in Antioch
on the Arontes, Syria. 1t is prob
able, say experts, that the chalice
is a relic of the cathedral erected
in Antioch by Constantine the
Great after his removal of the
capital of his empire to Constan-
tinople. In the year 526, during
an assemblage of 100000 Chris
tians the city was leveled by an
earthquake so disastrous that
one building could not be distin-
guished from another among the
ruins.

FOR SMALL NATIONS.

You are both fighting for the
same ends. President Wilson tells
the belligcrcnts. TO the world
and to your own peoples you have
declared that your aim is that
weak nations may be as secure
in their rights and their privileges
as the great nations. The nett
trails, great and small, have not
been called on to declare them
selves, but which of them, from
little Switzerland up to these
United States. would confess to
unwillingness to accord small ma
lions full rights and privileges?
So we may say the world de-
sires this equality. The world de-
string, the world working for it,
the world making it secure-who
shall feel the war to have been
in vain!

we have heard much these two
years. Uninterrupted has been
the outpouring OF words from one
side. From the other side? A

ment of Poland.

exhausts herself in blowing out

own selfish ends! But England

THREE FACTS SHOW GER.
MANY HAS FOOD.

Eminent journalists who are
agitating themselves, as we'll as
the surrounding atmosphere, with
weird tales of national starvation
in Germany, would do we'll to
ponder upon a fact or two.
One of these is that there are
over million and a half prison.
ers of war in Germany and Aus
tria and as long as these prison.
ers continue to be fed it may be
assumed that the German people
are not dying for lack of food. No
people would ever go to the fool
ish limit of feeding their enemies
while they themselves starved to
death. They would be more apt
in such desperate circumstances
to eat their captives than to feed
them.
Another fact is that the Ger
man authorities have been trans
porting Belgians to Germany to
work. If-thc German people were
starving or i'll any danger OF star
walton only an idiotic government
would deliberately import thou
sands of persons to feed. And we
believe that even the British-con-
trolled New York papers have
not included among the abusive
epithets they daily apply to the
German government, the word
"idiotic."
a third fact is that there is
nothing to hinder travel from
Germany into Holland, Switzer-
land, Denmark. Sweden and Nor
way, and if Germany was i'll star
walton straits we would surely
see tens Of thousands of German
women and children being sent
out of Germany into these neutral
countries.
The tales OF German starvation
are exaggerated or wholly manu-
featured in order to keep up the
expectation OF victory among the
peoples Of the allied countries and
to affect neutral opinion.
The most sensible thing that
the Allies can do is to listen to
the American President and to
make peace before they ruin
themselves in the false hope that
they can starvr the Central EN-
pircs into submission to any

carranza Wore Enemy
Of Faith Than Villa
Father Dryer, c. P, Declared That
carranza Is Greater scoundreI and
More To Be Feared Than Is the
Outlaw Chief-Passionist Describes
What Father Martinez of La Junta
Told Him.

Rev. Isidore Dwyer, C.P., has re-
turned to Holy Cross monastery, Mt.
Adams, Ohio, after several months
SPENT on missions, the greater number
of which were conducted in Colorado
and New Mexico, close to the Mexican
border, where the missionary fire.
quently came in contact with fugitives
from the wrath of both the present
Mexian de factor president, Carranza,
and the outlaw leader, Pancho Villa.
Father Isidore declared that Carranza
is even greater scoundrel and more
to be feared than is the outlaw chief,
for, he says, Carranza has great
hatred for Catholics, while, in his
opinion, Villa persecutes them, not be-
cause they are Catholics, but because
he desires their property. In support
of this view he told the following
incident related to him by Rev. Juan
Martinez, a Catholic priest, fugitive
from Mexico, who assisted him in con-
Quoting a mission in La Junta, Col.
Father Martinez is pastor of the La
Junta Mexican parish:
While Carranza and Villa were CO.
operating in OPPOSITION to the Huerta
government, Father Martinez and nine
teen other priests were made captive
by the revolutionary forces, and
brought before Carranza, who turned
them over to Villa with orders for
their execution. Instead of obeying,
Villa offered the clergymen their liber-
ty and demanded that they raise one
million dollars for him. The raising
of such a sum was, of course, impos-
sible. Villa then had five of the priests
shot, and packing the others into a
cattle-car, he shipped them to the
States.
Despite the fact that he is living,
Villa has some fear of the Lord, Faith
er 1sidore declares, citing, in proof of
this, the statement of one of the refu-
gee priests, who showed documents to
the effect that, when, during the re-
gime of Diaz, he had been ordered
shot, Villa called for the ministra-
ton of Catholic priest.

Bishop Bowling ExtoIs
Missionary Priest
The Generous and Catholic Spirit of
American Hierarchy Was Finely Ex-
emplfied by the Des Moines Bishop
at Ordination of New Missionary
Priest.

The generous and Catholic spirit of
the American Hierarchy was finely ex-
emplified recently at Maryknoll by the
Rt. Rev. Austin Bowling of Des
Moines. Bishop Bowling, after ordain-
ing one of his men for the foreign mis-
sions, said:
"This young priest represents the
first-fruits of. our little diocese. We
have many things to do in our part of
the country. We have great needs and
much anxiety as to the future. We
are but $4,000 Catholics in the midst
of $4,000 Professionals, and our posi-
ton calls for sacrifice, courage, pa
thence, and, above all, the grace of
God. We need especially young priests,
and as yet there are not many voca-
tions that have originated in our do
cese. 1t is sacrifice, then, for us to
give up this worthy young man, that
he may go abroad to fulfil his voca-
ton to the foreign missions. Yet T
have most cheerfully and most willing
ly given him up and today I complete.
the sacrifice by assisting at his ordi-
nation.
81 send him to be Precipitation for
the struggles of his own diocese, that
God may bless his sacrifice and bless
us. And l tell him this morning that
wherever he goes. he shall not be out
of our sight. We will follow him and
we will help him. 1t will be part of
our pride and obligation to see that he:
shall not suffer, as so many mission
ers do, for the means necessary to his
work. At least, he shall have the
promise of many prayers, and our eyes
and hearts shall be focused on him.
"The beginning of the foreign mis-
sion movement should be sacrifice
from the whole American church, The
work is not diocesan, it is not provin-
cial. Great and glorious, it concerns
all the dioceses of the country, and it
is witness and challenge to the
spirit of sacrifice in our young men.
This new priest shall be prayer for
us. May God bless his life and the
lives of his companions!"
