 CHINA 4 MONARCHY

Chira is still a monarchy q far as government goes. although republican i'll form, according to Harry Edsell, for mer Assistant Commissioner of Immi- grafton, who has just returned from the Far East. During his stay in Chi na, Edsell interviewed Dr. Sun Yet Sen. former president, and Wu Ting Fang. minister of foreign affairs and former ambassador to this country.
 While China is formally repub- lie. it is still in the hands of the mon arehists" said EdseIl. The forces that ruled during the monarchy are still behind the government. and the repub- licans get only what the invisible rul- CTS say they can have.
 China is torn over the question of war with Germany. and if war is de clared will be in a precarious state. Few persons outside of China realize that there is d large Mohammedan pop ulation in the Chinese republic. Such is the fact, and if war is declared, these millions of Mohammedans will revolt and fight the government. for they take the stand that war against Germany is war against Turkey and so against their church"

Bryan Answers Critics
GLAD THAT He CONTRIBUTED TO
X. OF c.. FUND DEVOTED
TO A NOBLE PURPOSE.

The Christian Science Monitor OF
Boston, which has been very bitterly
opposed to the privilege granted the
Knights of Columbus by the Govern
ment to erect recreation halls in the
army camps and environments. was
disturbed recently, over the fact that
William Jennings Bryan, a Mason, had
signed the Knights of Columbus War
Camp Fund appeal advertised through
out the country. Inquiries directed
to it's Western Bureau brought two
replies from Mr.. Bryan, one of which
was a dictated statement as follows:
"Mr. Bryan reiterated what he said
to the newspapermen at Lincoln.
He is perfectly willing that any of
these organizations Cred Cross, Y.
M. c. A., Y. w. G. A., Knights of
Columbus) shall make known the fact
that he contributed to them. He be-
lieves that the soldier needs spiritual
nourishment no less than food for his
body. The Roman Catholics are put
ting their lives at the service of their
country just the same as the Protes-
tants, and there is as much reason
why the Roman Catholics should
raise money for the moral welfare of
the Roman Catholics as that Protes-
tants should for the Protestant boys.
The Knights Of Columbus organization
is a great religious society and it is
to its credit that it has undertaken
the work"

THE VINCENTIANS.

Last Sunday afternoon the Par
ticular Council of the ST. Vincent
de Paul Society of ST. Paul met in
this city. The reports presented
by the various secretaries showed
a notable gain in practically every
department Of activity. The in
crease in the number of members
amounted to sixty-six per cent
over last years report. More per-
sons were assisted, more money
expended in relief, and a larger
number Of families reported as re-
ceiying help at present than dur
ing the year 1916. All told, the
work of the society shows encour-
aging progress. Commendable
praise and credit should be ex-
tended to the officers who have
manifested such practical zeal in
reaching out helping hand to
their unfortunate, fellow-men.
Catholics should be reminded
that in cooperating with this So
ciety they are performing one OF
the greatest works of mercy pos
sible, for all donations Of any kind
to this truly Christian work are
applied in such a way as to ac-
complish maximum of good with
the minimum of expense. Money,
clothing and useful articles Of
every kind can be given with the
certainty that they will produce
untold blessings for both donor
and receiver.
The councils of ST. Paul and
Minneapolis are making their
Christmas appeal for help. 1t is
well, in dispensing charity, to re-
member those in foreign lands; it
is equally as important to care for
the suffering and the outcast with
in our own gates.

THE SOUND OF REvELRY.

1t is remarkable how much the
various societies Of the country are
exerting themselves to provide rec
reatlOn and amusement for the sol
diers in training. AS is usual in
extraordinary circumstances, zeal
is not always tempered with judg-
ment, nor is discretion at all times
the better part of valor.
A press dispatch informs us that
three thousand girls will be en-
listed by a well-known organiza-
ton of women, and will be chap
eroned by members Of the Minis
terial Federation. These girls will
live in special hotel at the gates
Of a western camp, said to be
Americas biggest army canton
ment. The object of enlisting these
girls is said to be that they may
act as dancing partners for sol
diers. 1t is also stated that the
girls will be recompensed finan-
cially for their heroic and patri-
otto efforts in so nobly sacrificing
themselves for the good of the re-
public.

THE DEATH OF A FRIEND
SHIP.

/ heard someone bewailing the
death Of a friend the other day,
muses. a writer. The staff on
which he had leaned, the bread
which had ministered to his needs,
the very light that had filled his
eyes seemed caught away, and he
mourned as one for whom there
was no comfort possible.
I saw a mother leaning above an
empty crib, whose daily pillow no
nesting head should ever press
again. marked the terrible yet
voiceless grief that ate at be-
reaved fathers self-control, until
no wind-blown reed was ever so
shorn Of self-reliant strength. [
saw a wife whose love had sunk
within the grave where her young
husband was laid, as the sun sets
within a cloud of stormy night.
| saw an old man bow his snowy
head because the faithful one
whose hand had lain in his for
more than fifty years had vanish
ed from his sight forever. / heard
a little child lamenting at bed
time the lullaby song which it's
dead mothers tender lips should
never sing again.
But sadder than all these things,
more tragical than any death
which merely picks the blossom Of
life and bears it onward to heaven,
as the gardener plucks the choicest
rose to grace some festival Of joy,
is the scene when trusted friend
ship dies; when faith which has
endured the test of years gives up
the breath Of loyal life and sinks
to hopeless unawakened death.
Never think that you have shed
your bitterest tears until you have
stood at such a death-bed. Think
not the measurement Of any NOR
tai grief has been found until you
have sunk the plummet-line of
such sorrow. That grave shall
never burst it's sheath to let the
soul of friendships betrayal free,
like lily on the Easter air. That
l'door shall never swing like the
bars of a cage to let murdered
faith flash forth like the plume of
singing bird to seek the stars.
Over the grave Of a dead and
buried trust NO resurrection-note
can ever sound like bugle call
across the dewy hills to rouse the
sleeper from his couch. God pity
all who linger by the heaped-up
mound where loves forgotten
dreams lie buried, and grant obliv-
ion as the only surcease for their
bitter sorrow.

SECRET DIPLOMACY.

The Bolsheviki statesmen OF
Russia are giving to the world
some state secrets found in the
archives at Petrograd. Among
them are secret treaties and un-
derstandings entered into by the
Cars government with the en-
tente allies, observes the True
Voice. Some of these are interest
ing to outsiders notably the rev.
Citations that were made public the
other day concerning the exclusion
of the Pope from any peace con
ference. There were rumors last
summer that influences were at
work in England, France and
Italy to bring this about. 1t seems
that it had already been accom-
plished through a secret under
standing months before.
According to press reports
which have reached this country,
the Bolsheviki have made public
the secret understanding between
Italy, France, England and Russia
to keep the Pope out OF any peace
conference. We do not doubt that
the understanding existed. It
would be entirely in keeping with
the attitude of the powers which
excluded representative of Pope
Leo XIII from the first Hague con-
ference. One might think that
from the disastrous aftermath of
that conference they would have
learned lesson. But the old IN
fiuences were at work to secure
1.-THE secret understanding. Those
| are well known, even though they
do not appear in the pages OF the
morning papers. Now that the Sc
cret has been let out, our govern
ment may want to know what 9TH
Ter secrets there are which have
been kept from it's knowledge.
Here we have the nations send
| ing diplomatic representatives to
| the Vatican while they secretly
agree to exclude the Pope s repre-
Isentatives from their conferences.
They wish to have all the advan-
| tage Of the Vatican in securing its
diplomatic aid during the war.
But when peace again comes they
want to make il, in their own way.
That was the way that led In the
past to the great world war. We
may talk about wanting to make
war impossible for the future. But
lif secret understandings and sci
lcret treaties are to continue we
are only paving the way for tn:

the parent who by divorce has
cast out from life the, other par
ent.
The child Of the divorced can
never have pure conception OF
the love that marriage sanctions
between man and woman. Love
and marriage are degraded to a
pagan idea. All confidence in hui
man nature, all belief in honor is
lost when the child of divorced
parents must believe that his IA
Their is a scoundrel or his mother
is wanton. Nature cries aloud
in defense of the parent and the
child must conclude that there is
neither honor nor purity. The
angelic purity Of the mind Of the
child is tainted because he hears
things that other children do not
hear. He sees that his parents
are living unnatural lives and
he is on the alert to know the
reason. Relatives of one parent
will see to it that the child learn
all the delinquencies Of the other.
While divorce is unfortunately
frequent in this country, there is
still a social stigma attached to
it which the child is made to feel.
1t is well known that children
have been tainted with the charge
that their parents were divorced.
Though one, or even both, par
ents may be guilty of the charges
made in divorce proceedings, the
child is innocent and yet is the
chief sufferer of the evil of di-
vorce. A court of justice metes
injustice to a child when it
divorces the parents. The court
may decree a severance of the
bond Of those who are unhappily
welded, but it heaps up a measure
of unhappiness for the innocent
children of the marriage.
