Of these examinations, it is easy to see

cions disappear in such contingencies.
The Know Nothing movement melted
away in the great crisis of our Civil
war; the A. P. A. movement limped
away and died when the Spanish
American war began; even the little
furry on our Mexican border last
year brought a lull in the anti-Catholic
campaign and somewhat softened the
intense hardness of the feeling here
and there engendered among men.
And such has proved the case in
Catholic France, where the other day,
for the first time perhaps in genera
ton, French minister was heard in
full parliament assembled to eulogize
the conduct of the clergy. In report
ing the success of the latest war loan,
M. Ribot announced that all had con-
tributed their full share-"deputies,
senators, chambers of commerce, bish-
ops and archbishops." At the men,
ton of bishops" some Kisses were
heard from the Socialist benches, and,
turning toward them with an indignant
fire in his eyes, the minister drove
home his point. ION the occasion of
this loan," he said, "and when the
previous one was negotiated, the
French clergy honored themselves by
spontaneously Offering the government
their most valuable cooperation
This recalls that some months ago
the daily papers reported the French
governments "honor rolf as contain
ing the names of the priests of France
who had been killed in action at Yer
dun. Some of these, too old for the
ranks, had enlisted as chaplains, but
later had been impressed into regi-
mental service during that terrible
ordeal which called for the assistance
Of all hands. Others, younger, had !
been drafted at the beginning of the |
war, pursuant to law which the ene-
mics of the church had succeeded in |
having passed in dfsrespect of priests,
and to reduce them to ranks like other
citizens, in the hope, it was said, that |
they would show such reluctance to
comply with this law as to make them
lose the respect of the French people.
The opposite effect has been produced.
The priests COMPOUNDED all prophecies
as to their service and efficiency and
defeated the prime object of those
wishing to accomplish their downfall.
This statement recently appeared in
the London Tablet: 1T was also

peace, when war was unthought of by
the men who placed the burden Of
arms upon the clergy. But the semi
narists have shown their spirit and
merits in war and wars winnowings
have brought them to the eyes of all
as magnificent body devoted to duty,
self-sacrifice and patriotism.
Far from sealing the source of cler-
ical vocations or exposing the clergy
as incapables or unpatriotic, as they
had been represented, the test of war
has shown them to be heroes, both on
the field and in the hospital, wherever,
in fact, there was danger to be en-
countered, or devotion called for in
the service of their country and their
fellow men,"
General Humbei pays the priests
this tribute: "They have shown them
selves, by turns and at once, valiant
soldiers, ready to die because they had
no fear of death, and sublime priests
because courageous in action and duty,
and after that at the disposal of their
comrades at arms to give to them the
means of removing fear.'
Which goes to show that of all the
needless, foolish things, which are put
away when men face the realities of
life, none goes more quickly, because
none is less worthy or less excusable,
than religious prejudice"

In Hartford.
The first teacher to appear in New
England records was John Higginson,
who set up school at Hartford, Conn,
in 1887. He was native of England,
yet his name suggests probable Irish
origin, for there were many Higgin-
sons in New England descended from
Irish people named Higgins, whose an
cestors first settled in England from
where members of the family emigrat-
ed to the colonies. Indeed, Higgins
is but a modern form of literal transla-
ton Of MacHiggin, a name derived
from the Irish word Ulgin, meaning
Knowledge"
Several of the MAC" families in
Ireland translated their names, in the
same manner, such as the MacDonnells
who became Donnelson, the MacNeills
who became Nelson, and so on. We
find an example of the change from
Higgins to Higginson in the genealogy
of the descendants /of Richard Higgins,
who came to Eastman, Mass, in 1914,
where he became prominent man
and was the ancestor of numerous
families named Higginson scattered
through the eastern states. The local
town historian informs us that he
found the name on the town records
as "Higginson" and that the original
ancestor of the people of that name
was Richard Higgins, of Celtic orr
gin" Another of the family, Fergus
Higgins, came direct from Ireland to
ScarborO, Me. Some of his New Eng
land descendants claim their ancestors
"came from England" but Maine his
torian asks: did they come from
Belfast, Dublin or Cork, via Liverpool,
and is this the way they came from
England?"
William Collins, who came to New
Haven in the year 1910 with number
of Irish refugees from Barbados, is
referred to in the Journal of John
Winthrop, colonial governor Of Con-
nectic,tt, as "a young scholar full of
ZEAL" He established and taught
school at Hartford, as can be seen
from sketch of the pioneer in Felt's
Ecclesiastical History of New Eng
land. The period of his service as
teacher is unknown, but it could not
have been very long, for we are told
that he and his wife, Bridget Collins,
were murdered by Indians in the year
1643 in the vicinity of what is now
New Rochelle, N. Y, and it is said that
some of those who accompanied Col
Inns from Barbados returned to Ire
land. This is the only authority for
including his name in this list of
early Irish schoolmasters in New Eng

GERMANY AND AUSTRIA
KNOW THEY'RE BEATEN

Washington, May 29.-Francisco Sa
verio Nitti, former minister of agricul-
ture and industry and commerce and
economic head of the Italian war mis-
sion said today that the mission had
come, not to seek anything for Italy
specifically, but to draw more closely
together the two great nations and as
sure an allied victory.
"There is only one great question
today and that is whether German mil
itarism or allied democracy shall sur
vive,' he said. elf Germany wins
this war her oligarchy will destroy the
world. This does not mean the crush
ing of the German nation, but rather
such a military defeat as to discredit
absolutely Germany's military caste.
"Italy did not enter this war for any
particular interest. She could easily
have stayed out on the basis of hcc
treaty with Germany. The threat of
world combination under the menace of
the mailed fist made such course i'm.
possible. This is Italy's last war OF
independence. 1t gives her opportuni-
ty to rectify her boundaries and to win
back her lost provinces.
Germany and Austria know they
are beaten. The last hope is in the
submarine or i'll dissensions among the
allies. She is using both to the full
limit. 1t is essential for us all to hold
together in the common cause
Mr.. Nitti declared Italy's general
economic situation splendid and that he
expected her to emerge from the war
one of the strongest industrial nations
of the world.

Save the Savings Banks

While the nation is building the
machinery to do the big special job
on hand it must keep the. old balance
wheels running. Among the great
stabilizers of national life are the
savings institutions. They are bound
to suffer by the withdrawal of actual
deposits or by the withholding of de-
posts that would normally go to-
them. Part of this loss they will
have to meet as other losses are be-
ing met.
But we urge those who now are
depositors to consider carefully be-
fore touching their little stores. 1t
may be that they will count it best
to do so. Each one must decide for
himself. But let it result from no
yielding to momentary impulse. So
far as possible the extra gifts and
investments of this year should come
from reasonable economies and read
justments.
Certainly there can be no doubt
about one thing. Those who have
formed the habit of steady saving
must not give it up now with any
wild notion of making a quick profit
by some lucky turn on the market.
Much money is being lost as well as
made today.
The war will not be over tomor-
row. The nation will need to call on
many a prudent soul for the great
sums required to do our part in the
war. Miserliness is never a virtue
But rashness in money matters is
about as bad-sometimes worse. For
the sake of the individual depositor
and his family, and in justice to the
savings banks, as much money as
possible should be left as long as
possible in these institutions.
