French Priests Decorated
WAR CROSS AWARDED TO -FOUR
THOUSAND PRIESTS SINCE
THE WAR BEGAN.

M. Marcel Knecht, of the University
of Nancy, France, a member of the
French National Committee, in an
address at the Catholic Summer
School, Plattsburgh, N. Y, recently
recalled the fact that there are TWEEN
ty-five thousand Catholic priests in
the French army, of whom three
hundred are regular chaplains with
the title of captain; every colonel
chooses a soldier-priest as assistant
chaplain in each battalion. All the
other priests modified are serving as
fighting officers or privates. The
courage. the devotion to the wounded
and the wonderful patriotism shown
by the young priests in the trenches
are evidenced by the fact that three
thousand seven hundred French
priests have received the War Cross.

THE BUGLE CALL

Who built his monument upon the
tide,
And brave Paul Jones whose name
was as host,
When death upon the winds and
waves did ride.
Sons of strong heroes, much on you
depends,
God did not call your fathers to this
land,
Nor drill them in stern duty but for
ends,
That show the guidance of His low
ing hands.
Far from the tyrant's smile or frown
were you
Upraised with honest pride in hon.
est toll,
While all around you was the sweet
and new
Lord of your soul and of the fruit.
full soil;
Men, free to turn your faces to your
God,
To call the land you titled your own;
to weave
High dreams unborn within the stupid
clod
Who calls man, master, and bends
to receive
AS gift what he has won in toll and
Now, chosen people, Gods clear call
is blown,
Return once more across the ocean
main
To burst the chain that shackles to
a throne.
Lift up the fallen, and let every soul
That sits in shadow of a brothers
might,
Know only God their freedom can con-
troll,
And justice waits on Him with
truth and right.

DIOCESE OF SIOUX FALLS

Bridgewater: st. Stephens Church,
with fifty-four Catholic families, has
surely done it's "bit" towards the Red
Cross and Knights of Columbus organ
izations. Rev. M. J. Burkel, the pastor,
is also the president of the local Red
Cross organization. The branch which
was organized only last week now has
membership of 215. Out of this num-
Der 125 are Catholics. Last Sunday
the Knights of Columbus raised
$4,000 from their own members and
other members of the parish, making a
total of $4,000 in one week towards
the two above named organizations.

ayers. If play otherwise satisfac.
tory contains few Objectionable lines
or scenes, a letter is promptly written
to its producers requesting a with
drawal of the Objectionable features.
Requests such as this have met with
favorable response in many instances,
and have brought about immediate I'M
provements.
The movement works in co-opera-
ton with the Commissioner of Lii
censes of the City of New York, and
its members are even detailed by the
latter to inspect and report upon ques-
tionable films. Through the aid thus
given to the Commissioner many films
condemned as unfit have been refused
licenses, and hence barred from the
moving picture theatres of the city.
The Catholic Theatre Movement is
frequently consulted with regard to
Catholic benefits and dramatic per-
formances. 1t has reused our people
to a sense of their obligation in Sc
lecting clean plays when attending
the theatres. 1t has championed pub
lie standards which eventually mean
a great betterment in the American
drama. The work is very detailed and
extensive. The success achieved, the
good done, augur for further success,
and more effective results. While the
officials of the organization work with
out salary, the assistants and clerks
are paid workers.
The classes of membership are
three: list, subscribers, who pay $1O0
a year for the Bulletin" End, con-
tributors, who give $500 a year to
help the extension of the movement
3rd, patrons, who donate $500 year
to strengthen and universalize the
work. LIZ

INTERESTING DISCOVERY
PICTURE OF RUBENS FOUND IN
SWEDEN.

A picture of Christ and His Dis
ciples at Emmaus,' discovered in a
little antiquities shop in Malmo,
Sweden, is said by some Swedish art
critics who have examined it to be a
work by Rubens. Even if the picture
is not by Rubens, they declare, it
was certainly painted in his studio
and under his supervision. The pic
ture is in general grouping like
Rubens' large Emmaus picture in the
Prado Museum of Madrid. The face
of John bears strong resemblance
to Rubens' second wife, who posed for
figures in so many of his works.

Rise sons of liberty, the bugle calls !;
Freedom lies fainting on a bloody
field,
Downward her fair white standard
droops and falls,
And law and justice can no longer
shield.
The cry of little children lifts to God,
The prayers, the tears of old and
palsied men,
The young red blood pleads upward
from the sod,
And mothers suffering all the throes
again
That gave men birth, now give them
unto death.
Oh you, that never count your foes!
Arise,
Flame forth as did your sires on
Bunkers heath,
And lift up Freedoms form, that
trampled lies.
Oh. Souls of men with unclipt wings
burst forth,
Oh! children Graded in young free
dom's arms
You of these larger times, noble
growth,
Shame not the blood that your
young bosom warns.
Whose hearts have throbbed at Wash
ington's proud name,
Whose tears were shed for Lincoln S
piteous fate,
Who generous yield to Lee his we'll
earned fame,
And Grants escutechon hang among
the great:
Whose hearts to Barry turn, the
navy's boast,

The Catholic Theatre
Movement.
AN ASSOCIATION IN NEW YORK
CITY THAT DOES GOOD WORK
IN THE THEATRICAL WORLD
NOTES GOOD AND BAD PLAYS.

The Catholic Theatre Movement
takes pleasure in submitting herewith
to it's members and friends its first re-
port 1t is rendered with the feeling
of confidence that it will serve to
prove and illustrate two very impor-
tant facts. First, that the work which
it has already accomplished has more
than justified it's existence, and sec
ondly, that a still larger field of USE
fulness awaits it's endeavors and rem
ders necessary the continuation of the
work on a scale broader. and more ex-
tended than ever before.
The Catholic Theatre Movement
was inaugurated in 1914 by Cardinal
Farley and small group of Catholic
clergy and Catholic laity. They felt
that the condition of the New York
stage was rapidly approaching or,
rather, had already reached condi-
ton that bordered on the intolerable.
1t was felt that a mere denunciation
of the evil would not suffice to check
it. Active steps and active work, were
necessary.
The movement was inaugurated
therefore, dedicated to the betterment
of the stage and to the eradication of
the evils that enveloped it and to the
suppression of the sex play, the socio-
logical drama, the domestic triangle
play, and all other plays or theatrical
productions calculated to disgust and
to deprave From its inception the
work has met with great success.
Chief among it's activities is the pub
LEGATION of it's Bulletin and it's White
List The Bulletin is published
monthly, except July and August, and
contains reviews of all the current
plays appearing on the New York
stage. and all plays against which nc
grave moral objection can be found
are placed on the White List" The
white List" as its name implies, is a
list of those plays which, in the opin
ion of the Executive Committee OF
The Catholic Theatre Movement, are
in the main, free from Objectionable
features. The list is designed to meet
a need on the part of those who are
already play-goers, and who have diff
Guilty in selecting plays which are
wholesome and free from moral faint
The white List is the result OF care
full investigation and is presented in
good faith. 1t is not expected, mol
desirable, that the list be accepted un
reseryedly. The Catholic Theatre
Movement seeks tn co-0naratp with
all lovers of wholesome plays by max
ing the best possible selection, taking
into account present conditions in the
theatre and the prevailing standards
of public taste.
The White List is, of course, con
stantly revised and added to and is
sued from time to time. 1t is dis
tributed not only in New York City
but throughout the country.
The Executive Committee is in close
touch with the various theatrical man

Monday evening, August 6. The pro-
gram was opened by Mrs. McBreen
with medley of Irish airs on the
piano. Mrs. Anna Bryant, Mrs. Kate
O'Brien and Mrs, Margaret Lee then
gave an exhibition of the Irish Jig The
feature of the program was the paper
on the Colleges and Universities Of
Ireland, by Mrs. T. M. Connolly. She
gave an historic review of education in
Ireland, dividing the account into three
epochs or cycles. The first dealt with
the schools of the Druids and their
successors, the bardic schools, followed
IN turn by the glorious era of Christian
schools, when Ireland became the far
famed isle of saints and scholars.
The second epoch of education, as
treated by Mrs. Connolly extends from
the eleventh century to the treaty of
Limerick in 1851. The third, begins
with the year 1890, when Catholics
were admitted to Trinity College, Dub
lin, and continues to the present time.
The paper called forth enthusiastic ap-
plause and warm commentator from
the members of the club. A whistling
solo, Come Back to Erin,' by Mrs.
Blankenhorn, accompanied by Miss
Eliza McGrath, was followed by sew
eral piano solos, also by Miss McGrath.
The club will hold it's next meeting
with Division No. 6 on September 20,

be The Land Question of Ireland"
