coNDE PALLEN DISCUSSES THE
GENEROUS RESPONSE MADE
BY CATHOLICS TO PRESIDENTS
APPEAL FOR VOLUNTEERS
CATHOLICS FORM FORTY PER
CENT OF THE FIGH TIN G
FORCES.

Conde Pallen, distinguished Catholic
writer and associate editor Of the
Catholic Encyclopedia, discusses the
subject of Catholics in Military Serv-
ice, in the New York Evening Mail Of
November L.. Mr.. Pallen goes back
to Revolutionary days to show that
even with the birth of the nation Cath
olics were ready to do their share in
full proportion to their strength. Nor
was the story different in Civil War
days. And regarding the present con-
fiict, Mr.. Pallen has gathered some
very interesting figures. The article
states:
The part played by Catholics in the
wars of the nation is difficult to esti-
mate numerically. What proportion
Of Catholics served in the continental
armies we have no means of know
ing. That Catholics contributed their
proper share to military service in the
cause Of independence is attested by
Gen. Washington words in reply tc

Catholic body:

CATHOLICS DOING THEIR SHARE

At the time of the revolution the
Catholic population of the country was
$4,000, according to the estimate of
Archbishop Carroll. This would allow,
taking one in every five as a basis for
military service, 5000 Catholics in the
ranks of the Monumental armies.
Washington's words clearly imply that
Catholics did their full share in the
struggle.
OF the services of individual Cath
olics in the cause of independence we
have ample records. Charles Carroll
was one of the signers of the Declara-
tion of independence, and, with Father
John Carroll, afterward archbishop,
together with Franklin and Chase,
constituted commission to Canada to
persuade the people there to espouse
the cause of the revolving colonies.
Daniel Carroll and Thomas Fitzsim-
mons were members of the Philadel-
,phia convention that drafted the con-
stitution of the United States.
Although the Catholic population
was small, it gave to the continental
armies a surprisingly large proper
tion of leaders. Pulaski was head OF
the commissary and was succeeded by
Stephen Moylan, who had previously
held the important commission Of
quartermaster.
The famous Kosciusko was the COM
mander of artillery, and the father of
the American navy was John Barry,
whose exploits are known to every
| school boy. Washington's favorite
aide was Col John Fitzgerald, and the
number of Catholic names on the mus.

Clergy Not Wanted
FOURTEEN FOREIGN PRIESTS
OUSTED BY MEXICO.

The arrest and expulsion of several
foreign clergymen was announced last
week in statement issued by the gov
ernor of the federal district of Mexico
The statement says the clergymen al
ready have been sent on their way
out of the country with other persons
classed as undesirables.
The expulsion Of the clergymen is
said to have resulted from their fail
ure to comply with the provisions Of
the new constitution, which permits
only Mexican-born priests to exercise
religious functions The clergymen
probably will be taken out of the coun-
try by way of Vera Cruz.

1t will be difficult in December to
keep up to these splendid figures. as
the workshop will close after Friday
evening, December FL, and will re-
open on Wednesday, December 26.
If the school girls over IA years of
age come to make Surgical Dressings
during their holidays, and all the other
members try to give little extra time
in the first three weeks of the month,
the result for December may prove q
big surprise. The aim is to make
100000 dressings a month chiefly be-
cause the soldiers will need them.

This week large number of teams
of solicitors from the local Council
of the Knights of Columbus are en-
gagged in drive to raise $4,000,
st. Pauls quota of the $3,000,000 War
Fund to be used by the Order in pro-
viding spiritual ministrations for the
Catholics in the American army and
navy, and recreational facilities for
all, irrespective of creed.
The campaign which began last
Tuesday will continue throughout the
week and be brought to close next
Sunday, when a War Badge sale will
be conducted by the Guild of Catholic
Women in the vicinity of all the
churches OF the city.
The committee in charge of the
campaign, of which Dr. E. w. Buck
ley, Supreme Physician of the Order,
is Chairman, .F. M. Van Valkenburg
is Secretary, and c. II. F. Smith is
Treasurer, has established headquar-
ters in a room on the first floor of the
Commerce Building, Fourth and Waba-
sha Streets, where the teams report
every day and all other business is
transacted.
The members of the Guild of
Catholic Women, who are assist
ing the Knights in the campaign,
held special meeting last Thurs,
day evening in the Knights OF
Columbus Building and perfected
plans for the War Badge sale next
Sunday. A group of women will have
charge of the work in each parish and
every Catholic will be given an op
portunity to contribute.
1t is expected by those in charge
that, as a result of the campaign, the
$25,0G0 will be over-subscribed The
solicitors are confning their efforts
largely to Catholics, although many
n-Catholic firms and individuals are
making generous contributions be-
cause of the worthy purpose for which
the money is to be expended AS we
go to press the indications are that
the campaign will be a notable sue
cess.
When the war broke out the
Knights of Columbus received official
recognition from the War Department
as one of the two organizations the
other being the Y. M. G. A.-to be
admitted to the militia camps, can
tonments and naval stations for the
purpose of ministering to the relig
| ious and social needs of the men as
signed to these posts. To do this eff
fective1y it was found necessary tC
erect buildings in the different camps
to serve as recreation centers and
places for holding religious services
The Knights also undertook to pay
the expenses of priests assigned to
army work in this country and il
France in addition to the regularly
commissioned Catholic chaplains.
| To enable them to carry out theil
project the Knights asked the modes
sum of $3,000,000 for this purpose,
and there is no doubt that this
amount will be forthcoming if tht
| Catholics of this country do their dut!
as we have every reason to believe
