the Woodworking president of the big
Catholic society, the "Unione Popo-
lare," was confirmed in his charge by
the Holy Father, receiving fiattering
letter from Cardinal Gasparri
His Holiness has received lively
comfort from the message of filial
generation and devoted obedience
with which Italian Catholics have
initiated the work of their Social
Days He expresses his paternal
gratitude and, with the hope that the
present meeting, starting from the
supreme principles of Catholic doc
trine and looking always towards
Pontifical directions, may be of prac-
teal use for the solution of the ardu-
Gus problems of this troubled time
and may give strength to the long ex-
pected works of fruitful and lasting
peace, he imparts from his heart to
you and to all present the Apostolic
Benediction."
The viewpoint of Catholics and that
of the enemies of the Church are en-
tirely opposed In the old days of Clio
litti. and Nathan it was straight
fight 1t had to be, because the
Church was attacked-with what
enormous malice all remember But
of late, since Salandra succeeded
| Giolitti, and especially since Nathan
fell, the atmosphere has changed. Is
It changing again, and round to the
old ideas and old methodist? Catholic
papers in Rome point to signs that
it is. The people are all right, and
indeed the sense and the exhibition
of religious feeling are more strong
more evident. But there are the
politicians, certain classes of them
and of course freemasonry behind
While more harm than good is done
by exaggerating, Catholics do well tc
be on their guard.

Scene of Passion Play
oRERAMMERGAU PRESENTS A
DESoLATE APPEARANCE - AN.
TON LANG, THE cHRIsTUS IN
THE PLAY, CALLED TO coLoRS

Anton Lang, the Christus of the Pas
sion Play at Oberammergau, has fin
ally been drafted for war purposes
Nearly all the famous players, includ.
ing the musicians, are at the front
The little village is impoverished and
on the verge of starvation. How Ma.
deleine 2. Doty found the village on
her last visit just before Lang was
drafted is told in The Atlantic Month
ly. Excerpts from her story follow:
''The little train chugged it's way up
the valley. There was but one pas
senger car. Half of it, upholstered in
red velvet, served as first-class, the
other half, with wooden benches, as
third. Few people go to Oberammer-
gau in wartime. In the car was a sol
der bound for home on a three weeks
leave, and several women. They were
silent. Outside the valley shone in
the warm sunshine. The hills were
velvety green. The so@t, cool air came
in at all the windows. Little birds
perched on branches and sang Justify.
Bright patches of flowers still bios
somed by the cottage doorsteps. Old
earth did it's best to be beautiful. 1t
blossomed, sang and tried to Offset
mans destruction. But the earth's
cheer was not contagious. The people
in the train were grimly still. A dark
monster had laid it's hand upon their
hearts.
Silently we got down at the small
station. There were no waiting car
riages or push carts; no smiling peo-
pie, no eager hotel porters to carry the
luggage. A boy on bicycle slipped
my bag over the handlebars of his
wheel and sped off to a nearby hotel
The soldier from the train walked
slowly ahead of us. A weary woman
standing in a doorway greeted him
with a wan smile. The news Of his
return spread. A few women and chill
dren gathered to bid the warrior well
come, but there was no laughter-no
gay words. One sleeve of the mans
coat was pinned up and tapped idly.
The eyes of the women were hard and
dry.
Anton Lang was too old. for mill
tary service. did not find him at
home. Each day he journeys to the
neighboring town and works as a car
penter for his country"

AFTER WAR PROBLEMS
ITALIAN CATHOLICS ARE PRE-
PAIRING FOR CHANGED coNDI-
TloNs - EXAMINATIONS ARE
UNITED.

NO alarums and excursions of any
sort in the meetings in Rome called
the Social Days" of the Directors of
Catholic Action" These meetings
are called Social Days. of the
Directors of Catholic Action" and
held regularly in Rome since Catholic
Action" was officially established on
its existing bases by the late Pontiff
ard strengthened on them by Bene-
dict XIV. In ordinary times they
treat OF ordinary things, and no more
than ordinary notice is taken of them.
Five years ago the meeting at Milan
discussed the Roman Question: and
much more than ordinary notice was
taken, the London Times joining in
and drawing an erroneous conclusion
from what had been said, which gave
the "Osservatore Romano" the oppor-
tunity of publishing an obviously in
splred article which remains the
standard guide for Catholics on the
old Question This years meet
ing was important in that i'm it the
leaders mapped out for Catholics the
rules for their guidance on the prob
lens which are going to face Italy,
In common with other nations, in
the period of after-war reconstruction.
Many subjects were discussed: the.
land problem, the school question,
ETC., on which it would be premature
to dwell at length. Later on it will
become evident exactly how far the
elements opposed to the Church are
going to endeayor to squash the Cath
Ole viewpoint in these things, and
that has been the object Of the recent
meeting: to organize that all may be
able to work that the Catholic view
