THE SOUTHERN CROSS.

In a delightful article i'll u re-
cent number of America, Japhcth
s. Jollaln, $. j., gives an interest
ing picture of conditions i'll South
America. He shows us how the
Protestant missionaries have done
real harm to the United States by
the false and erroneous impress
sions they have left on the Amcri-
can mind through their Unloading
statements regarding conditions
in the Republics to the South. In
articles written from an unpreju-
diced viewpoint we behold the
South American peoples in an en-
tircly new light. AS Senator Root,
after Il tour in South America,
truthfully says: "Two-thirds Of
the suspicion, the dislike, the dis
trust with which our country was
regarded by the people OF South
America was the result OF the
arrogant bearing of Americans, OF
the people Of the United States,
for these gentle, polite, sensitive,
imaginative, delightful people. y
The Protestant missionaries, it
would seem, have suffered deep
and painful chagrin at the futile
efforts they have made to turn
these loyal people into the channels
of scctarianism. Abiding to the
work of the Protestant ministers,
a highly cultured lady of Brazil
writes: ''Thcre is nothing strange
i'll their way of speaking. The
popular opposition they have met
with has disgruntled them. SO
far they have succeeded in swell
ing their little flock only with the
most ignorant and the lowest ele-
ments Of this Catholic country.
Perhaps by these people, devoid of
education and good breeding, they
judge all Of us. " AS one minister
candidly admitted, his little
church was frequented only by
bare-footed negroes, hOboes, "
and worse.
The great harm done to the
United States by the false reports
of Protestant missionaries regard
ing conditions i'll South America is
seen i'll the aversion with which
the Southern Republics regard
"the Colossus of the North. .
The South American newspapers
keep their readers i'll touch with
all such statements given out by
returned missionaries, and the re-
suit is seen i'll the comparatively
small amount Of trade we receive
from these countries, and in the
number Of enemies we are making
among them. Referring to these
effects a Catholic Archbishop
in this South American coun-
try says: "The vile ISLANDERS
of the Panama Conference will fan
the fire Of Indignation which is
smouldering hotter and hotter
against your country and may
some day burst into flame. "

This year it happens that Good
Friday will fall Oh the first Fri
day of the month. Many persons
who are making the Nine Fridays
may be perplexed as to the proper
course to pursue. While we have
not been able to discover any
decree Of the Church on this point,
Catholic authorities seem to agree
that the devotion of the Nine Fri
days may be completed by simply
emitting Holy Communion on this
day and receiving during the fol-
lowing months; in other words,
prolonging the series to ten
months instead oil nine, thus

spirits. But 1 know that none of
these speak for the nation They do
not touch the heart of anything. They
may safely be left to strut their un-
easy hour and be forgotten.
But from another point of view l
believe that it is necessary to say
plainly that we here at this place of
action consider what part we mean to
play in the settlement of its search
ing issues. We are the Spokesman
of the American people and they have
a right to know whether their pur-
pose is ours. They desire peace by
the overcoming of evil, by the defeat
once for all the sinister forces that
interrupt peace and render it impos-
sible and they wish to know how close
ly our thought runs with theirs and
what action we propose. They are i'm
patient with those who desire peace
by any sort of comprOmise-deep and
Indignantly impatient-but they will
be equally impatient with us if we
do not make it plain to them what our
detectives are and what we are plan
ming for in seeking to make conquest
of peace by arms.
Il believe that 1 speak for them
when I say two things: First, that
this intolerable THING of which the
masters of Germany have shown us
the ugly face, this menace of combin-
ed intrigue and force which we now
see so clearly as the German power,
a THING without conscience or hum
our or capacity for cOvenated peace
must be crushed and, if it be not ut
terly brought to an end, at least shut
out from the friendly intercourses of

defeated and the time comes that we
can discuss peace-when the German
people have spokesman whose words
we can believe and when these spokes-

men are ready in the name of their
people to accept the common judg-
ment of the nations as to what shall
henceforth be the bases of law and
of covenant for the life of the world
we shall be willing and glad to pay
the full price for peace, and pay it I'M
grudging. We know what that price
will be. 1t will be full, impartial JUS
tice-justice done at every point and
to every nation that the final settle
ment must affect, our enemies as well

You catch, with me, the voices OF
humanity that are in the air. They
grow daily more audible, more ar
ticulate, more persuasive, and they
come from the hearts of men every
where. They insist that the war shall
not end in vindictive action of any
kind; that no nation or people shall
be robbed or punished because the
irresponsible rulers of a single coun-
try have themselves done deep and
abominable wrong. 1t is this thought
that has been expressed in the for
mula, no anneXations, no contribu-
tions, no punitive indemnities Just
because this crude formula expresses
the instructive judgment as to right of
plain men everywhere it has been
made diligent use of by the masters
of German intrigue to lead the people
of Russia astray-and the people of ev-
cry country their agents could reach
in order that premature peace might
be brought about before autocracy has
been taught its final and convincing
lesson, and the people of the world
put in control of their own destinies
But the fact that a wrong use has
been made of a just idea is no reason
why a right use should not be made
of it, 1t ought to be brought under
the patronage of its real friends. Let

HOW A BULLET FALLS

In order to solve the problem a
special stand was erected in Germany
and experiments were carried on along
the shores of a lake, the surface of
which was frozen. The ice was COW
cred with stronk planks. 1t was
shown that an infantry bullet shot
upward in a vertical direction passes
downward in the same position in
which it passed upward. In other
words, it came back to earth with it's
bottom first. Why was it not upset
at its eliminating point? The ans
wer is that the propelling force ceases
to act at the elimination point, but
the twist has as yet not stopped, and
therefore it starts its fall with a twist.
Even on impact the twist has not
stopped, as was indicated by the
warping of the wood fbres in the
planking on the ice.-Popular Science
Monthly.
