LLOYD GEORGE TO coNGRATU.
LATE RUSSIAN REBELS.

London, March 19.-Premier Lloyd
George today announced in the House
of Commons that on Thursday he
would move motion Of congratulation
to the Russian Duma.
The Premier told the House that so
far as the governments information
showed the new government had re-
ceived the support of the army, the
navy and the country as whole. His
information, however, did not enable
him to say that all danger was passed.
The Premier continued:
II have only to add on behalf Of the
government that they are confident the
Russian people will find that liberty
is compatible with order, even in q
revolutionary time, and that free peo-
pies are the best defenders Of their
own honor"
At this point the Premier was inter
rupted by ironical cheers from the
Irish members and cries Of "Why
don't you practice what you preach? p

LIQUID THREE HUNDRED YEARS
OLD.
Ancient Relic Found Near Rochester,
New York, Contained Quantity Of
Holy Water.

Archaeologists who examined the
liquid found in a Theoretically sealed,
much corroded metal box which was
uncovered in an Indian burial ground
near Rochester, New York, believe it
to be holy water blessed by Jesuit
priest about 300 years ago and given
to an Indian convert in the ancient
Seneca village of Totiaction.
State Archaeological A. c. Parker,
himself a Seneca Indian, said that
never before had such a relic been
found. It was imbedded in a solid
sand and clay soil, which probably &C.
counts for it's preservation, and that

which clasped the box to the chest.
The box was below the frost line, so

Admirable piano playing distin-

of an indisputably musical nature and
a student who has grown in her art
to a remarkable degree. Miss Lacy's

WASHINGTON and
OREGON HOLD REAL
PATRIOTIC MEETING
Members Of the Fourth Degree Adopt
Strong Constructive Program-Asl<
All Catholic Schools Provide FLAG
Drill and Patriotic Exercises.

The members of the Fourth Degree,
knights of Columbus, district of Ore.
gon and Washington, held an assem-
bly, last Saturday at their club rooms.
The principal feature of their meeting
was the adoption of a strong con-
structive program, including the in
struction of foreigners of Catholic
faith In the duties of American citi.
zenship.
The instilling of a deep sense Of
patriotism in the youth is contem-
plated in the educational movement
recommended. 1t also would give
older people an opportunity for fur
ther education and help those young
men who would otherwise be finan-
cially unable to secure an education.
Reading courses would be provided in
order to promote the reading of the
best literature.
The recommendations as adopted
provide for the proposed movement
being carried forward under the aus
pices of the fourth degree.
The gathering adopted a recommen-
dation that all Catholic schools pro-
vide flag drills and patriotic exercises.
1t was also recommended that Colum-
bus day be observed not so much ais
Catholic day, but rather as a day
in which to honor that great discov-
erer. 1t was also urged that the
knights of Columbus cooperate with
the clergy in furthering the laymen's
retreat movement, and that they. en-
deavor to provide places for the execu-
tion of this plan.

General Herman Heads
Army in Philippines

President Wilson has nominated
Colonel Francis ]. Herman, U. S. A., a
brigadier-general and successor to
General Liggett, in command of the
army in the Philippines. (This posi-
tion was formerly held by General
Barry.)
General Herman, who comes of old
Irish-American Catholic stock, is the
man who put the machine guns in the
army. When a member of the general
staff, General Herman worked out the
details of the scheme for equipping
each unit of the fighting force with
a machine-gun platoon. Previous to
that time the machine guns were
stored in arsenals and no plan had
been made for their distribution.
General Herman was born in Jack
sonville, Fla, October 10, 1859, and
entered West Point in 1877, being
graduated in 1881 and assigned as a
second lieutenant to the Twenty-first
Infantry. He is considered an officer
of high ability, and ia recognized
throughout the army as an authority
on military law in which he special
lied during his long service.
He was in that regiment until April,
1898, when he received his captaincy
in the Second Infantry. At the begin
ming Of the war with Spain he was on
recruiting duty in Brooklyn and was
sent with the Philippine expedition as
an acting assistant adjutant-general
on the staff of General Arthur Mac
Arthur. He returned to the United
States in November of that year, and
the following February was sent to
Cuba as judge-advocate for General
John c. Bates, but was transferred to
the staff of General James H. Wilson.
In September, 1900, he returned to
the Philippines with his regiment, and
when the second Intervention in Cuba
occurred in 1906, General Herman was
sent there, while member of the
general staff, and was appointed pres
ident of the commission for the ad-
justment of claims resulting from the
overthrow of the Palma government.
During the time he was president
of the commission there were 10000
claims settled in less than two years.
Upon his return to the Philippines in
1909, he was assigned to General VIII
liam P. Duvalrs staff and was a men,
ber of the board that adjusted the
matter of military and civil lands.
General Herman has also served on a
number of other important boards, in
cluding the commission which was ap.
pointed to hear the claims arising
from the Madero revolution and the
battle of JuareZ. He became colonel
of infantry in November, 1918, and
was graduated from the Army War
College the following year. His pro-
motion is a well-deserved honor.

Rev. Edw. F. Casey delivered a very
stirring address before the Hennepin-
Minneapolis council at the last meet
ing, on Inside Facts Pertaining to
Mexico" The campaign now being
conducted by parties, whose leader ap-
pears to be certain Yucatan attor-
ney named "Mena," is misleading and
extremely malicious.
1t is not only anti-Catholic but also
anti-Christian. These pamphlets are
sent out to all the leading newspapers,
magazines, and to the heads of COL
leges and universities throughout the
country.
Father Casey very sensibly suggests
that we become acquainted with the
real truth by securing a copy of the
April issue of "The Extension Maga-
zine''
This will be special Mexican edi-
tion and should be read by everyone.
In addition to the many excellent

WORLD OWES A \
GREAT DEBT TO The
CATHOLIC CHURCH
Universalist Minister Indicates Nature
Of the obligation-For Fifteen Hun
dred Years cathoIieity and Chris
tianity Were Synonymous Terms.
One Parson Who Does Not, See Red
When He Sees Rome.

cat the mere mention of the Ro-
man Catholic church today some peo-
pie see red," says Rev. N. E. Nc
Laughlin, Universalist minister.
"The most stupendous fact in his
tory is Christianity and for fifteen
hundred years the Catholic church and
Christianity were practically synony-
nous. We owe:
II. Historical Debt. This church
made Christianity a world religion. It
carried the cross of Christ around
the world. It took the tender plant
which grew in the rocky soil of Israel,
nurtured it, transplanted it in Rome,
the chief city of the world, and made
Christianity a power in the world.
Jupiter, Zeus, Thor and heather gods
were supplanted by Jesus Christ. Some
prejudiced minds think that all the
Popes were imposters, grafters and
immoral, but history does not SUBJ
stantiate the prejudice. The Borgias
are not the typical representatives of
the Papacy by any means. Many of
them were great men, most of them
scholars and as true ambassadors of
Christ as any age has produced. This
church developed Christianity until it
became spiritual and temporal
power.
g. Aesthetic Debt. Has any church
fostered the arts like the Roman Cath.
olic? The most beautiful buildings in
the world are Catholic churches-Mi-
Ian, Cologne, etc. The three greatest
painters in the world-Angelo, Ra-
phael, Da Vinci, pursued their art un-
der the encouragement of this church.
The modern drama had it's birth in
this church. Palestrina, the father of
modern music, wrote for the church.
The Ambrosian and Gregorian chants
were of fnestimable value in the for
nation of the musical scale as we now
have it. The Crusades were Catholic
military pilgrimages to the Holy Land.
They were directly responsible for the
Renaissance-the enlightenment of
Europe.
"3. Religious Debt. The consecra-'
tion, loyalty and fervor of the Roman
Catholic may be eQualed, but not sur
passed. Says Parkman, the historian
of America: Not river was dis
covered, a cape turned, nor promon-
tory sighted in. French America but
