CATHOLIC BOY SCOUTS IN
BOSTON.

His Eminence, Cardinal O'Con-
nell, has officially approved the
Boy Scout movement for Catholic
boys throughout his Archdiocese,
and troops will be formed in all
the larger parishes, with a Cath
Ollie schoolmaster and Catholic
priest for chaplain.
The Cardinal has appointed the
Reverend Michael Cuddihy, of St.
Margaret's Church, Dorchester
district, Boston, as cl,aplain-gen-
eral; and to him all matters per-
tanning to the Catholic Boy
Scouts should be referred.
At recent meeting of college
and university presidents in Bos-
ton the Boy Scout movement was
discussed; none being warmer in
praise of it than the Reverend c.
w. Lyons, ST., President of Bos-
ton College. Catholic Boy Scouts
are numerous and we'll organized
in the Archdiocese of New York
for three years past.

OUR TROUBLE WITH GER.
MANY.

1t is the belief of The Irish
Standard that every Irish-Ameri-
can citizen ardently hopes that
President Wilson will keep us
out of war; that he will not lis
ten too attentively to the hysteri-
cal English press of this country
and that the difficulties will be
settled amicably, even though Dip
lomatic relations have already
been severed. But we, too, re-
alize that this country can not
be dependent upon any nation
nor can we sit idle and see Our
commerce destroyed and the
rights of our citizens destroyed.
The United States is a great
nation, and its president has per-
llaps made mistakes which it is
too late to retrieve at this late
hour, when most any moment
war may be declared, and it is the
duty of every American citizen
to stand by the President, as we
believe, and know, that individual
rights and national honor will be
safeguarded in whatever action
he may take. The Catholic citi-
zen, of whatever nation he may
have sprung, will follow the flag
of freedom and history tells
where the Irish American stands
since the birth of this great
nation. But let us pray for peace
to the last minute and save our
sons from the scientific slaughter
of England's madness.

cussion later on. I believe that
if the scheme is rejected by either
of the parties concerned, Lloyd
George may possibly force it on
the country. At all events, every
thing points to the fact that with
in the next few months there will
be sensational developments in
the Irish question, and I should
not be surprised if we were Of
fered far better measure of
Home Rule than the Act on the
Statute Book"
Such are so many specimens of
the all-around guess work about
Home Rule. But, then, it is
merely guess work, and as such
deserves no special attention. All

THE PEACE SUGGESTION.

1t is not adverse criticism to
say that there is nothing original
in the peace suggestion of Presi-
dent Wilson. The fundamental
principles of which he bases his
plea are as old as Christianity and
the practical solution has been
proposed in many historical in
stances. This does not detract
from the value of the document
nor make it less worthy of serious
consideration.
Every earnest seeker after per-
manent peace will agree with Mr..
Wilson that just now it would
be impossible to conceive bet
ter thing than league of nations
of the world (which will make it
virtually impossible that any such
catastrophe should ever over
whelm us again" While the con-
cert of nations which he proposes
is departure from the tradition

not only warranted but compelled

VILLA AGAIN LOOMS.

The recent military successes
of Villa present a serious prob
lem to the United States. In the
event he comes into power the
disposition of Villa will be an en-
barrassing problem for our gov
eminent.
After the Columbus raid we
tried and convicted for murder
a number of the followers of
Pancho Villa. He was declared
a murderer and an outlaw. We
sent an army into Mexico with
the avowed purpose of getting
villa, dead or alive" In addi-
ton, we sent to the border as
much of the regular army as we

SPANISH QUEEN MAY 7
WIN GOLDEN ROSE
Queen Victoria Reported as
the Probable Recipient of
Vatican Honor.

OF the report that the Holy
Father will shortly confer. the
Golden Rose on Queen Victoria
of Spain no confirmation has yet
reached England, the Catholic
Times of London says, but the
news comes from Madrid, and a
notification that the honor is
about to be bestowed may have
arrived there. The Golden Rose
is precious and sacred orna-
ment made of pure gold by skilled
artifcers which the Popes have
been accustomed for centuries to
bless each year and occasionally
to confer upon illustrious
churches and sanctuaries as a
token of special reverence, and on
Catholic kings or queens, princes
or princesses, renowned generals
or other distinguished persons, or
upon governments or cities con-
spicuous for their Catholic spirit
and loyalty to the Holy See as a
mark of esteem and paternal af-
lection.
The significance of the rose
and Laetare Sunday Fourth of
Lent, the day on which the rose
is blessed, so blend that the Sun
day is often called Rose Sunday.
The exact date of the institution
of the Golden Rose is unknown.
According to some, it is anterior
to Charlemagne; others say it
had it's origin at the end of the
twelfth century. 1t is certain,
however, that it antedates the
year 1850, since Pope Leo TX
1O5D speaks OF it as an ancient
institution in his time. Amongst
those to whom the Golden Rose
has been given were Maria Chris
TIM when queen regent of Spain
1885,, Marie Amelie, queen of
Portugal 1892 and Marie Hen
riette, queen of the Belgians
1899. s

could spare and practically the
whole militia of the country to
protect our citizens from his
raids.
Just now it seems that he will
soon have military control of all
the border and become the chief
pillar of a new government. This
may transform Villa, the bandit
and outlaw, into savior and
patriot in the eyes of official Mex
leo. Will it work the same trans
formation in the eyes of official
America? Must we forget that
he is bandit and a murderer
Will we demand that the new
government surrender him to
United States authorities to be
tried according to the laws and
treaties of the two countries? The
question is imminent. The latest
report is that Villa has offered
to guard the Northern boundary
and protect foreigners in North
ern Mexico, which he will prob
ably control in a short time.
While he would be more likely
to keep the border quiet than
Carranza, it will be embarrassing
to give him that much recogni-
ton.
Our entire Mexican policy has
been one of opportunism. We
have tried to make the best out
of varying bad conditions. I'm
less we change that policy we
may be forced to accept Pancho
Villa as the l1onored head of a
new Mexican government.

THE DUBLIN REVIEW.

According to the Tablet, Lon
don, England, the Dublin Review
will hereafter be controlled by an
international editorial committee.
The English committee consists
of Shane Leslie, Canon Barry,
Father Martindale, Sir Bertram
Windle and Robert Wherefore.
In order that Catholic thought
and feeling in America may be
better represented the above COM
mittee will be assisted by the
work of Cardinal Gibbons, the
Very Reverend DR.. Fay and
Schuyler Warren.
According to the Review itself,
AN attempt will be made at this
crisis in Christendom, to mobilize
the fighting forces of Catholicism.
The union that is the strength of
great enterprises will be sought
and found in its pages" Accord
ing to recent word, Shane Leslie,
the noted writer on Irish affairs,
will reside in New York city. For
this reason the Dublin Review
will look for wider circulation
in America.

IRISH WRITER INTERNED.
SUES FOR DAMAGES

Darrell Figgis, now interned in
Reading Jail, has issued writs in
Ireland and England claiming
damages for false imprisonment
against Captain Bettes as being
the officer, as he alleges, respon-
sible for his transportation to
England after the rising. This
will be test case on the question
of the right to transport Irish
men arrested to England.

A telegram which announced
that Lee was about to surrender,
came to the White House in
Washington during the stormy
days of the Civil war. Abraham
Lincoln left Washington immedi-
ately to go to the front, and when
news finally had reached him that
Lee had surrendered and the Off
Gals began to make preparation
for the entry into Richmond, just
as Immediately Lincoln put his
foot down and said, "There shall
be no triumphant entry into Rich
mond. There shall be no demon
stration just now" He made his
way to Richmond and walked
through the city alone. There
never was such a triumphant ell
try as that in all the annals of his
tory. He walked with his head
down, with heavy step and sad
heart, and when he reached the
southern capitol and went to JEFF
ferson Davis room, he babe his
two officials step aside and leave
him alone After few minutes
had passed by, one of them, out of
curiosity, looked to see what had
taken place, and there sat Lincoln,
with his head bowed on Jefferson
Davis desk, his face in his hands
and his tears falling. And say
that the angels of God never
looked down from the battle
ments of heaven on holier scene
than that. His great, sympa-
thetic heart saved the republic.
That was the greatest victory in
the Civil war; that settled the
struggle; that bound the North
and South together, and Abra-
ham Lincoln, like his great Mas
ter, died of a broken heart. 1t
burst with sympathy. The great
est victory in those days of strug-
gle was that Christ like sympathy.
The greatest victory that is ever
won on any battlefield of human
life, in the hour when the strug-
gle goes on, is won through the
wonderful element that comes
down from the heart of Jesus
Christ-his own divine sympathy
for struggling humanity.

DORE DIVER.

The Rev. Isidore Dwyer, C.P.,
who has returned to Mount Ad-
ans, Cincinnati. after series of
missions in Colorado and New
Mexico, where he met number
of Mexican refugees, has given
another newspaper interview, in
addition to the one produced in

said Father Isidore, C.P. Senior
lberto Gomez, who accompanied
Father Isidore to Ohio, was ma
jordomo of large hacienda in
the state of Zelaya. He was
forced to flee to the United
States.
The tactics of all bandits are
the same, according to Father Isl
dore. When they enter town
they first deprive the people of all
arms. They then commander all
food and vehicles, loot churches
and homes, shoot some of the
most prominent citizens and drag
their bodies around the town as
an example to the already terri
fed populace. AS a general rule
they then seize clergymen, he de-
clared, and demand an exorbit-
ant sum as ransom, which the
poor people cannot obtain.
In the state of Zelaya the ban
dts held the bishop in the most
abject slavery until the people
raised 100000 as ransom, he
said.
Senior Gomez said that the ma
jority of the poems do not care
to better their condition, as shown
by the fact that the proprietor
of the hacienda of which he was
unajordomo offered his hundred
poems plot of ground, stock and
implements, so that they could be
self-supporting. Nearly all re-
fused the offer, he said, as they
would rather work under some
one and be assured of a good live
lihood than to assume the respon-
sibility of managing their own
land.
In comparing the governors Of
Mexican states, Father Isidore
said that Felix Diaz was the best.
He said that, although it was not
generally known, Diaz has con-
troll of large district around
Oaxaja. Zapata is not so harsh
as either Villa or Carranza. When

1t is not often that wide
awake man misses a chance of
having his name written large in
the book of fame, and of being
hailed for all time as a benefac-
tor of humanity and the foremost
champion of liberty, particularly
when such glory could be bought
by a few we'll chosen words of
sympathy with people strug-
Cling to be free. And yet this
is the very thing President Will
son missed when he failed to men
ton Ireland in his peace talk to
the Senate. For had the president
spoken Of Ireland as he spoke of
Poland, the British Government
would fall over itself in it's haste
to satisfy the demands of Irish
ntaionalists. England is already
on short rations, and if the Ger
mans press their submarine war
fare with their accustomed vigor
it is only a question of a few
weeks when England will be fac
ing famine. Americas good will
therefore is more necessary to her
now than at any other period of
her history, and if Irish Home
Rule would help towards winning
and retaining that good will,
Home Rule would become an &C
complished fact almost at once,
and the President would be hailed
as the deliverer of an ancient ma
ton, and his place in the temple
of liberty's immortals be secure
forever. 1t was a glorious chance
of an enviable immortality, but
the President threw it away, and
why? Who can tell?-Advocate.
Settlement of the Irish ques-
ton" still rests on rumor, and just
now rumor and rumor alone, is
exceedingly busy in this direc-
ton, says the Hibernian. Each
day produces its crop of forecasts,
and each succeeding day that
crop is destroyed and a new one
planted.
A Home Rule Parliament in
Dublin, in which Ulster is to have
representation equal to that of
the rest of Ireland, is the settle
ment of the Irish question to-
wards which new move is be-
ing made, says a writer in the
London Sunday Pictorial" But
this scheme does not suit the Bel
fast Northern Whig," the organ
of Orangeism in the North, which
insists that "Ulster will not con-
sent to be governed by a Dublin
Parliament. A scheme which
would give equal representation
to Unionists and Nationalist
could have no element of perman-
ence in it. Mr.. Redmond has
limited at special representation
for Unionists, but he has always
insisted that the majority must
rule" /

pendent" a we'll known Irish M.

BY the. constantly increasing re-
lationship Of the countries Of the
world. These relationships in
clude ourselves, and we are COM
PEELED to accept them. AS the
President says, "There is no en-
tangling alliance" in such a con-
cert of power, when all unite to
act in the same sense and with
the same purpose all act in the
common interest and are free to
live their own lives under a COM
mon protection"
The spiritualized Monroe Doc
trine which President Wilson
offers to Europe is the principle
that small nations shall have the
right of self-government and be
protected in it by the combined
power of all the nations. He
cites Poland as an illustration of
what he means. The spirit of the
Monroe Doctrine requires that a
plebiscite be taken in all disputed
lands and that the people be per-
mitted to say to what nation they
would prefer to belong or whether
they wanted all independent gov
eminent of their own. There are
illimitable difficulties and compli-
cations in such an effort, but the
principle involved is the only
foundation of permanent peace.
If some arrangement could be
made by which submerged people
might come out into the light and
have an individuality of their own
the United States would be JUST
fed in pledging herself to main
tain their rights.
There is one point that the
President seems to overlook in
commenting the Monroe Doc
trine to our European brethren
The Monroe Doctrine was found
ed on selfshness. 1t sought tc
protect the interests of the United
States and save us from future
war by excluding the government
al systems of the great European
nations from the Western Hem
isphere. 1t was not designed to
protect small nations against big
ones, except when those small
nations were in America and the
big ones in another continent.
Under the Monroe Doctrine it
would be perfectly proper for big
American nations to swallow
small ones without violating its
principles. This has been done
on several notable occasions since
the Monroe Doctrine saw the
light and we ourselves have not
been guiltless.
We are the object Of suspicion
and distrust precisely because OF
our Monroe Doctrine. The peo-
pie of the United States have as
sumed a superior, a holier-than-
thou, attitude and the press have
refused to concede that there is
any patriotism i'll the European
war. When nations cheerfully
send the flower of their manhood
to the cannon's mouth, when the
women and children smile brave
ly at their losses and are happy
even in their hunger, they resent
being treated as common brawl-
ers. We must realize that these
peoples are just as much in earl
est in defending the honor Of
their king. just as patriotic in
giving their lives to protect their
country as were our fathers III
the sacrifices they made to win the
liberty we now enjoy. If the
United States is to be a factor i'll
bringing peace to Eorope, it will
have to drop its arrogance and
show a decent respect for heroic
people .- who are surrendering
everything in a cause that to them
is sacred.
The American people will be in
harmony with all the principles
