PRAISES POPE'S APPEAL
ONE OF THE GRANDEsT FACTS
IN HISTORY-SWISS PRESIDENT
PAYS EULoGY TO HOLY FAITH
Err IN PEACE EFFORT.

Monsieur Motta, former President
of the Swiss Republic, in the course
of very eloquent address delivered
to a society of Catholic students in
Switzerland recently, referred to the
Holy Fathers peace note as follows:
Il have just quoted the words ad-
dressed by Benedict XIV in his letter
of August 1st to the heads of the
belligerent nations. 1t does not be-
long to me to give an appreciation
on the immediate result of this act
The problem of peace is the most
grave and delicate question of the
present day, and l know too well the
part from the reserve that my official
position imposes upon me. But that
cannot, nevertheless, prevent me stat
ing that the Papacy affirms itself once
again by this note as the highest
moral force in the world. 1t has no
particular political aim it accom-
plishes the international law of char
ity and it's mission of peacemaker. 1t
proclaims, the idea of disarmament
and that of obligatory arbitration. It.
declares that the fate of the States
must be ruled by keeping in mind the
aspirations of the people, by this it
fixes for humanity it's general orienta-
tion and traces out plans for the flu
ture. AS regards myself, l am persu-
AIDED that when the war will be over
and the eyes of men no longer blinded
by the smoke of battle, the Papal note
Of August 1, 1917, will become one of
the grandest facts of history. The
Swiss have, moreover, one reason the
more to be grateful to Benedict XIV,
because His Holiness has been, with
the Federal Council, the founder of
one of the most beneficial works which
flourish with us-the internment and
the exchange of prisoners of war

A Large Congregation
EIGHTEEN THOUSAND SOLDIERS
AT ONE MASS.

The most impressive scene, among
the many varied ones at Camp Devens,
in Aver, Mass, last Sunday, was the
military outdoor Mass celebrated by
Rev. Thomas P. McGinn, post chap
lain. The men marched onto the
field in military formation and took
up their places before the altar. BY
$3.50, the time for the Mass to start,
$4,000 had assembled, and the large
field adjoining the Knights of Column
bus Headquarters Building was pack
ed with a vast multitude of humanity.
The congregation, numbering $4,000,
is probably the largest which has ever
attended an open air, military field
Mass in this country.

TWO SISTERS WHO HAVE JUST
RETURNED FROM VISITING MIS-
SIONS TELL OF IMPRESSIONS
HISTORICAL DATA WITH RE-
GARD TO NORTHERN MISSIONS.

After a long journey. Of five months
to the Arctic Circle, Mother Superior
Piche and her equally intrepid com
panion, Sister ST. Jean Baptiste, We're
welcomed home at the Grey Nunnery
recently in Montreal, Canada. The
story of their journey to their five
northern missions is one of unusual
interest, for the nuns underwent all
manner of hardships, as well as inter-
esting experiences, as they travelled on
by boat and car till they reached their
destination.
Leaving Edmonton on May 29, they
reached Fort Chippewan on June /.
This part of the journey was made by
Il local train that was little better than
a baggage car. Rough wooden
benches were provided and an oil
stove, on which the passengers cooked
their meals. For long, weary day
they logged along in this primitive
conveyance, accomplishing the whole
of a hundred miles. However, Fort
Smith was reached, and the Sisters
here spent several days visiting the
second mission, the first on the route
being located at Fort Chippewan. Then
% miles up the river by scow to Nc
Murray, and a change was made to
gasoline launch, which proved very
exp itious mode of travelling.
r : scenery along the Mackenzie
River was wonderfully beautiful. The
very loneliness and echoing silence
was Impressive. The huge trees tow
ering Mndreds of feet high in the linn
itless forests were almost awe-inspir-
ing.
How the good God scatters His
beauty everywhere" said the little Sis
ter reminiscently, as she recounted
the details of her voyage to The Star.
Stops were made at the mission sta
tions of Fort Resolution and Fort
Providence, until finally their objec-
tive, Fort Simpson, was reached. After
visiting there for a while they re-
turned to Fort Providence, 100 miles
south, on Great Slave Lake, to attend
the fiftieth anniversary Of the opening
OF the school by the Grey Nuns.
For three days there were special
functions to commemorate the open
ing of fifty years ago, when five Sis
ters had gone to the far north hinter-
land and braved a canoe journey
through unknown rapids and treacher-
Gus streams in order to open school
where the Indians of that lone land
might get Christian instruction and
education. Mother Piche stated that
one, of the proudest moments of her
life was when rs little Indian children

PsEUDo-MEDicAL SOCIETY ADVo-
GATES KILLING THE "INCURA-
BLE"-RETURN TO AN OLD
PAGAN CUSToM-FALSE BASIS
OF THEORY SHOWN UP
CLEARLY.

Dr. Austin O'Malley, in the latest
issue of America, has the following
article on a subject which is again
before the public:
On September 25 the papers mad
report of a meeting in Chicago of the
American Association of Progressive
Medicine in which this association,
by vote of thirtyseven to thirty
four, passed a resolution recommend
ing that a law be enacted in every
State permitting euthanaSia. The
Association would have Federal or
State commissions established with
authority to kill off the aged when a
social burden, and those suffering
incurable diseases in any age. A
doctor of Iowa read a paper on the
subject, and as it sounded somewhat
progressive the Association passed a
resolution. Fortunately the American
Association of Progressive Medicine
is neither American nor progressive,
nor is it medical, but group of the
camp followers of medicine in the
class of an ethical culture society,
which on Sunday afternoon babbles
in a theater where the night before
somebody's Follies risked pneumonia;
the Follies of Saturday followed by
the Follies of Sunday. Agitators OF
this kind, however, too often can per
suade the politicians whom we send
to our legislatures to put any Legal

The discussion of euthanasif

of incurable diseases recurs periodic

Review of Reviews restarted thu

of noyelists, college professors, physi

were opposed to euthanasia, thu

"The inhabitants of the stations live

History Of Missions.
During the fifty years that the sta
e,sx,
visits have been paid to the mission
ary Sisters by the Superioress of the
Order Of these, two have been made
in person by Mother Piche, who has
been able to arrange her busy life,
directing between sixty and seventy
has been able to spare five months at
a time to make the journey.
The history of the missions is inter
esting.
On September II, 1866, five Sisters,
Sister Lapointe, Superior; Sister Mi
chon, Sister Brunelle, Sister st. Mi
chel and Sister Ward, left Montreal,
with Fort Providence as their objec-
tive. The Sisters spent the winter at
st. Boniface, which had been opened
in 1874, and in the spring of '67 they
started on the overland trail for the
far north. What hardships they suf-
fered cannot be told, for there is little
left in writing which would convey
any idea of what they had to endure.
The only survivor of the five Sisters is
Sister Ward, now provincial of the
Order for the United States. She re-
sides in Boston. The little party ar
rived at Fort Providence on August
%, 1867, and at once opened their little
school. By the first of November ten
pupils had enrolled and classes were
being held regularly
During the fifty years the Sisters
have labored at this point, 591 stu
dents have enrolled at the institution,
there being rs this year.

With reference to the introduction
of Christianity into America, B. J..
Musser gives the following data:
A. D. 935 Tor 986) Christianity
was this year introduced into America,
if we consider Greenland as an island
belonging to the North American Con-
tinent, for historians are generally
agreed as to the reliability of the
story of the discovery of that island in
9S5 or the following year by Eric the
Red, who named the icy coasts Green
land to induce his Icelandic country
men to colonize the land.
1oo0.-The son of Eric the Red,
called Left Ericsson, or Left Hepni,
probably a priest, made voyage south
from Norway, near Greenland (where
he had been commissioned by the
Christian King Olaf of Norway to
preach the Catholic Faith), and dis
covered Vinland the Good, called Vim
land because of the abundance of wild
grapes. He then returned to Green
land
0o-1001.-During the winter Chris
tianity was introduced into Greenland.
The same year Thorstein, Leif's elder
brother, with twenty companions, set
out to find the newly-discovered Vim
land, but failed to reach their goal and
returned to Greenland after roaming
over the sea for months.
1o03.-Thorstein widow, Gudrid
with her second husband, the rich
Icelandic merchant Thorfinn Karlsefni,
and about 150 Viking companions, un-
dertock a new expedition to find and
colonize Vinland. Several countries
were visited, Helluland, Markland and
third, sby some historians called
Hvitramamaland Gland of the White
Men,, by others Irland ed, Mikla (the
Greater Ireland said to have been
