CATHOLICISM IN ENGLAND.
The Church Demands Freedom From
Royal Patronage and
Violence


Violence.
The Bishop of Northampton, Eng
land, in a recent pastoral, had this
to say of the status of the church in
the British realm:
The efficacy of legislation can east
ly be exaggerated. 1t can be as. east
ly moderated. The Catholic Emanci-
patton Act of 1889 is a striking in
stance of remedial measure which
was really demedy. The second
spring of Catholicism in the British
Empire dates from it's passing. Re-
leased once for all from the disabili-
ties and penalties of the past with
one or two exceptions that have re-
manned in abeyance), and untram-
melled by any new claim of the gov
eminent to interfere in our affairs, we
have the results of nearly century's
continuous progress to attest the in
haustible vitality of a church that is
free.
Our nation struck this keynote in
the very first clause of the Great
Charter to which, seven hundred years
ago, it forced King John to set hand
and seal, "The Church shall be Free
free, that is, from, secular interfer-
ence, whether by way of royal patron
age or royal violence. In those days,
the church was Established" even
more firmly than the Crown itself, and
was endowed" with "a large proper
ton of the national wealth. Yet it
was realized then, as now, that self
government is of incomparably great
er value to her than any form Of po'
litical tutelage, sympathetic or unsym-
pathetic; and that no grants Of money
or prestige can compensate her for
the loss or diminution of her indepen-
dence.

PICNIC FOR SAMMIES
Swap Cooks With Poilus and Drinl,
Wine and Champagne.

American Field Headquarters, Aug
10.-The Star Spangled Banner end
the Marseillaise reverberated thru
verdant valleys today as American
Sammies and French poilus raised
their voices in song.
The Sammies and poilus picnicked
together on an ancient battlefield. Re-
nowned French and American soldier
bands crashed out the national airs
of the two countries, accompanying
the men as they sang democracy's
defiance to the enemy, in what was
one of the most unique celebrations
that has occurred since the Sammies
landed.
American "chow wagons cooked
for the poilus, while French field
kitchens cooked for the Sammies.
In Difference to the French custom,
the Americans dipped their field cups
into barrels of red wine, furnished
| by the French, and drank to democ-
racy's victory.
Champagne for Toasts.
American and French officers toast
ed each other with champagne.
Tho it was a picnic of F'renchrnen
and Americans, the British were re-
membered. The bands played Tip

( the chorus of the Tommies first battle
song.
Sweeping over this scene of good

! sounds, followed by sharp clatters and
| explosions. Beyond a neighboring

! throwing and machine gun work. The
| SOUNDS came as reminders that war is
far from being a picnic.
