ALCOHOL AND MEMORY.

Professor Vogt of the University of
Christiania made tests upon himself
to determine the effects of alcohol
upon memory. He daily committed to
memory twenty-five lines of Greek
poetry and recorded the number of
minutes required to learn them. On
the days when he took as much al
cohol as one would get in from one
and one-half to three glasses of beer,
it took him on the average eighteen
per cent longer to learn the lines than
when no alcohol was taken. Six
months later, when he reviewed and
relearned the same lines, he found
that the lines learned on the alcohol
days required more time for re-learn-
ing.

REMEMBER THOSE WHO ARE IN
BONDS.

The following paragraphs are taken
from two letters received from
prisoner in western state peniten-
tiary whose name and address are
withheld. The CHASTITY lesson of it all
is that there are not less than 100000
men and women in the prisons of the
United States today who if the truth
were known are there directly or in
directly through drink.
II am prisoner in the - State
Penitentiary, deprived of my liberty
because of the terrible liquor demon.

past, see myself on that Septem-

$4,000. And who we're the losers,
people whom I hated and wished to
injure? No! they were friends and

AT the present time there are
about 2,400 prisoners here. AS nearly
as can find out about 80 per cent of
the men have been addicted to the

EUROPEANS SETTLED IN AMERICA

When we take the German immigra-
ton to the United States between 1776
and 1890 and compare it with that
from other countries, a somewhat
startling result, and one usually I'M
suspected, is disclosed. The total ar
rivals of aliens in those la years ag-
gregated 15,689,000, of whom more
than 100000 we're Irish and British
and 5,125, 900 were Germans, which
shows that one alien out of every
three arriving in America during more
than century of our existence was
a German.
Since 1890 the trend has been very
different. With more than 1900, 900
immigrant arrivals since that date,
only 1,023,000 have been Germans. If
from this number proper deduction
is made for those who returned to
their homeland and those who have
| died since their arrival, it will be seen
that there are fewer than 100000
former subjects of the kaiser in this
country who have not been here more
than rs years. OF more than 5000 ,O0C
people Of German birth and immedi
ate ancestry among us, less than 1,
100000 fail to have the background OF
birth or long residence in America be
hind them.
Although the people of foreign
birth, the article adds, constitute
only one-seventh of the country's pop
ulation they contribute nearly one
fourth (22 per cent? of the arm-bear
ing strength of the nation. At thu
last census many of the states had /;
greater number of foreign-born mel
of arm-bearing age than they had O
native-ancestry citizens. We hav,
considerably over 2O,OOO,OOO men o
military age in the United States.
Another striking fact of our immi
grafton situation is the unusual pref
erence of the foreign born and thei
children for the cities. OF the $4,000
900 foreign stock whites living in tn
United States approximately $4,000
900 live in the cities. In only IA o
the so leading cities of the country d.
the whites of full native parentag
constitute as much as half of the tota
population. Only one-fifth of the POI
ulation of New York and Chicago i
of native white ancestry. Less thai
a third of the populations of Boston
Cleveland, Pittsburg, Detroit, Buffalo
San Francisco, Milwaukee, Newark
Minneapolis, Jersey City, Providence
st. Paul, Dorchester, Scranton, Patel
son, Fall River, Lowell, Cambridg
and Bridgeport are of native ancestry

shows that nearly nineteen-twentieth

Catholic Club in Rome
AN IMPORTANT WORK OF CHAR
ITY CONDUCTED BY THE CIR.
COLO 81 SAN PIETRO-HAS A
SPLENDID RECORD.

When some forty years ago, all
Christendom was busy celebrating the
Golden Jubilee of Plus TX in the
episcopacy, the Catholic club par ex-
cellence in Rome, the "Circolo di San
Pietro," observed the anniversary in a
manner which Providence visibly
blessed. 1t founded what the Italians
call IAN economic Kitchen" from
which the poor obtain meals. The
founding took place on June 8, 1877, on
the initiative of Mgr. Giovanni Patrizi,
Mgr. Domenico Jacobini, and four lay
men, all of whom are now dead with
the exception of two of the latter,
whom Benedict XIV received in audi
ence recently, in company with three
hundred patrons of the charitable
work
To mark the fortieth year of the ex-
istence of this branch of the charitable
undertakings conducted by the Circolo
di San Pietro, all those connected with
it asked to be received by the Holy
Father. The gathering was truly a

were Prince Colonna, assistant at the
5Papal Throne; Princess Antici-M attei,
and Comm. Ambrosini, one of the
surviving founders.
In replying to the address read to
him by the president of the Circolo
the Holy Father, speaking from the
throne, said they had come to him
that day for word of encouragement,
and he believed he could not give this
to them in more effectual manner
than by going over a page of the his

Colonel Percy A. Guthrie, of
the New Brunswick Kilties, who
has just returned from the
trenches in France, testifies to the
esteem in which the army Chap
lain is held at the front. When
a shell got me in the trenches
over there and | crawled away
into the grass to die, between the
French batteries and the enemy,
it was a man in the uniform of
France who risked his life to save
me. He knew not my tongue,
nor | his; but he came to me at
dusk, under the hail Of fire, wet
my lips with water and pressed a
crucifix to my lips. He cared not
whether | was Protestant Eng
lishman or one of his own faith.
For in this war the barriers be-
tween religions are burned away.
And with the crucifix of France
on my lips | breathed a prayer
for my wife and little ones, and
for France.

RECREATION CENTERS.

Tt has often been asserted that
the Catholic Church seeks no
special favors or prerogatives
from the temporal power. Her
nature and her power are such
that all she needs for their sue
cessful employment is a fair field
and equal opportunities. Through
Eout the history of the Church, in
whatever nation she has entered,
handicaps have been placed upon
her on her arrival. True, in the
course OF time, many of these
drawbacks have been removed
and the eyes Of wealth or of
power have been turned favorably
upon her. The history of the
Church in the United States is
proof evident Of the secret force
which ever guides her straight to
men s hearts. She has ever been
| quick to grasp the opportunities
which the Constitution or circum-
stances have placed within her
reach. In every national move
ment, from the day Columbus first
stepped upon these shores up to
the present moment, Catholics
have been active in promoting the
welfare of the country at large
and Of their fellow religionists.
The recent opening Of hostilities
between this country and other
nations has been a signal to Catho-
lies that another golden oppor-
tunity was at hand The govern
ment, realizing the necessity OF
moral and social welfare for the
soldier, entrusted this duty to a
great extent to the Y. M. C. A
Recognizing, however, that a large
percentage Of enlisted men would
| be Catholics, the administration
officials with generous fairness
agreed to turn over the moral
social and spiritual welfare OF
| Catholic soldiers to any central
agency that would best represent
Catholic interests. Among all ou1
organizations the Knights OF Co
lumbus stand forth, for many rea-
sons, as the most typically repre-
sentative. Proving their worth as
well as their generosity these noble
| Knights Of every state Of the
Union have come forward to
shoulder the burden, in the name
Of God and country, of providing
for the needs of the troops. Among
the very first to suggest the vast
fund for such purposes were some
Of the leading members OF the
Knights of Columbus in st. Paul
To some extent, in way, it may
be said that the idea itself or
iginated here. 1t is to be hoped
that every Catholic will not only
appreciate this great work under
taken by the Knights, but will
also help in practical way tc
further the success Of the enter
prise which means so much to the
welfare Of the nation, the condl
i ton of the soldier, and the worth
and honor of the Catholic church

An exchange remarks that some
times i'll private life our friends
are kindly disposed to regard our
faults as eccentricities. But in
business or professional life there
is no such distinction accorded
them. Your employer will not call
you eccentric" if you are always
behind time, if you lose your tenn
per, and become vexed and an
noyed over trifies. He will simply
regard you as inefficient.

In spite of all reports to the
contrary, it is gratifying to see
the broadminded policy Of the
government in matters effecting
Catholic interests in the war. The
assignment Of Catholic Chaplains
together with the official recogni.
tion of the Knights Of Columbus
for War Camp work, display q
spirit of impartiality and fair
mindedness for which Catholics
should be grateful.

sorship in withholding news that
might be of use to our antagon-
lists. If anything would tempt
them to disregard this loyalty it
would be the action of certain
censor who sent out the story
of a submarine battle, which was
widely printed, and who then adj
mitted that this was done simply
for effect. Such trifing with the
allegiance of the press is not
always the best policy even for a
