AFTER THE SUGAR TRUST

A dispatch from Ottawa states that the attor- ney general of Alberta has granted permission to the Cost of Living Commissioner to criminaIy prosecute the British Columbia Sug ar Refinerfes Company. The charge 1t is said. will be conspiracy with iobbers to regulate the price of sugar on bonus basis.
 Let us wait and see whether it will be merely a make-believe prosecution like We generally have in the United States or whether some good for the mass will come of it. Should it result contrary to the generally accepted custom, 1t may be that we could borrow that prosecutor and turn him loose after the democrats who have the monopoly of federal offices; and who don't know the first thing about office.

WHERE THE RAINBOW LASTS.

It cannot be that the earth is mans only abiding place. it cannot be that life is bubble up be eternity to float moment it's waves and then sink into nothingness. Else why is it that the glorious prations which leap like angels from the temple of hearts forever wandering unsatisfed? Why is it that all the that hold their festival around the mid night throne set above the grasp of limited fac uues, forever mockng with their unapproachabe glory? And finally why is it that bright forms man beauty presented to view taken from us, leaving the thousand streams of affections to flow back in Alpine torrents upon hearts? There is a realm where the rainbow fades, where the will be spread before like islands that sumber in the and where the beautiful beings which now pass before like shadows will stay in presence for ever-George D.

WAS SHE BLUFFING ?

When Germany issued the order to her sub- marines to spare none within certain radius on the high seas, was she butfing?
 The order is supposed to have been in full force and effect for twenty days or more yet their ac- tivity seems to have undergone change not in ferocity but good feeling. Less damage is be ing done than ever before The Kaiser may have stumbled on @ second thought~which is helping some It may be that he merely wanted to ere ate a scare that would lead the enemy to sue for peace. If that was his intention, he was doomed to disappointment. In so far as the scare was concerned, he succeeded admirably, but failed miserably in the move for peace. However it's his move.

To Augment the Clergy
"GUILD OF OUR LADY'S YOUNG
PRIESTS" is ESTABLISHED
IN ENGLAND.

To meet the abnormal situation
which will arise in the religious world
after the war, new confraternity OF
league has been formed in London,
England, called the Guild of Our
Lady's Young Priests The members
will devote themselves to assisting
spiritually by prayer and temporarily
by encouraging the late vocations
which come from the trenches. With
many priests killed or incapacitated,
and large numbers of seminarists
gone to the trenches and sharing the
same fate, a time may come when
there will be no priests ready to take
the mission, while older ones are
passing and leaving gaps to be filled.
Providence, however, is raising up
many young men at present in the
trenches who have the intention of
adopting the priestly life when the
war is over Many of these men have
not, however, the means to cover the
years of study involved, and it is to
provide these means, and to pray that
the vocations may ripen to maturity,
that the Guild of Our Lady's Young
Priests has been formed.

ALL SOULS DAY
PRIESTS ENJOY PRIVILEGE OF
SAYING THREE MASSES ON
THAT DAY. -

All priests have the privilege of
celebrating. three Masses on Novem-
ber 2, All Souls Day, of each year.
This privilege was granted to all
priests in the Spanish and Portuguese
dominions by Pope Benedict XIV in
1748. 1t was extended in 1915 to the
entire world. The Pope was moved
to grant this privilege, by the fact
that many pious foundations of
Masses for the faithful departed have
been abolished. Thousands have died
on the battlefields of Europe for whose
souls little has been done. His desire
was to provide for these souls.
Priests are allowed to apply the first
Mass according to their own intention
and to receive an offering for it. For
the second and third Masses no offer
ing is permitted; the second must be
for all the faithful departed and the
third for the Pope's intentions. Be
sides urging all priests to make use
of this privilege, the. Holy Father ex
horted all Catholics to hear Mass on
that day for the benefit of the Poor
Souls in Purgatory.

BELGIUM AND AUSTRIA
AUSTRIAN EMPEROR AND THE
POPE'S NoTE-PoPE'S IDEAS
MAY YET BE ACCEPTED.

The great Centrum organ of Ber-
lin, the ''Germania," while admitting
the possible surrender, of Belgium,
says it will never be yielded as terri
tory given up in retreat, but will be
given voluntarily as the result of
negotiations, insuring full guarantees
in regard to the future attitude of
Belgium. The "Tyd" of Amsterdam,
one of the best-informed Catholic
papers of Europe, says that the cor
respondence between the two courts
shows that the Emperor Charles is
using every effort to persuade Ger
many to go the whole length of the
requirements outlined by the Papal
note. In the Hungarian Upper House,
the Primate, Cardinal Czernoch, made
an interesting speech, in which he de-
clared that the fundamental principles
of the Papal note were identical
with the peace speech of Count
Czernin, and he believes the Papal
note would yet serve as a basis for
peace negotiations.

Admission and Protest
PRAYING FOR THE SOULS OF
SLAIN SOLDlERs-AN.A ANGLi-
CAN PROTEST.

A British general on the western
front finds his men so imbued by the
Catholic tradition which is all around
them that those in charge of the GEN.
etery have been carving "R. l. p"
on all the wooden crosses of the mill
tary cemeteries in the vicinity, re-
gardless of the religion of the soldier
who rests beneath. The general,
thinking this might shock the feelings
of Protestant relatives, has issued an
order that R. l. P. is to be put on the
crosses of Catholic soldiers only.
The Anglican Church Times" is so
angry over this order that it gives
itself away unwittingly. First, it
launches out against the deprivation
of an appeal for eternal rest suffered
by Anglican dead, and then it RACES
that Anglicans and Non-conformists
should be grouped in the same cate
CORY. Abandoning all pretense, it
says THE Church of England re-
fuses to be Protestant" If this is
the case the sooner she makes her
submission to the Holy See the better.

BOTH PETITION ON. ROME
VATICAN RECEIVES TWO PRO-
TEsTsfFRoM BELGIUM.


Two protests have been received in
the Vatican from Belgium. One Is
against some members of the German
hierarchy, and was written by Cardi-
nal .Mercier. Giving dates, names of
places, etc., he complains that sew
eral bishops from the Fatherland, in
Guiding Cardinal Won Hartmann, have
infringed ecclesiastical laws by offici-
ating in-various parts of Belgium with
out having received the necessary
authorization of the bishop of the dio-
cese. The second is from the German
government, and protests against the
attitude of Cardinal Mercier, who, it is
declared, in the course of an address
delivered in the Religious Institute,
Brussels, expressed himself in violent
terms against the Germans.

FOR POLISH ARMY
RECRUITS LEAVE FOR GENERAL
CAMP IN CANADA.

Monday morning, October Is, Mass
was celebrated at Holy Trinity
(Polish) Church, in Chicago, for the
intention of the new Polish army
recruits who left that same day for the
concentration camp in Canada. Some
200 recruits attended the services, to-
gether with many of the Polish lead
ers, including the famed pianist,
Ignace Paderewski and Madame Pade-
rewski.
This is the second time within four
months that Polish volunteers have
attended special services for their in
tention at Holy Trinity Church before
leaving for camp. The two hundred
who left for Canada last Monday were
recruited within week and, together
with hundreds of other Poles from
other large cities in the United
States, whom they will meet in the
concentration camp, they form the
vanguard Of the new Polish Army.

The SISTERS IN The CIVIL WAR.

The fact is that the Emmitsburg
Sisters very soon occupied the post
of honor mentioned by the Archbishop
of New York, for we find them in
Richmond in the early part of June,
1851, answering the call of DR.. Gibson
who was in charge of the Military
Hospital in the Confederate capital.
This hospital afterwards became
known as st. Anne's Military Hospital,
and received the first wounded of the
early battles or skirmishes, notably
the wounded from Phillippi, Big
Bethel, Romney, Rich Mountain, Car
rick's Ford and Manassas The last
engagement is known as the first bat
tie of Bull Run, and took place on
July 81, 1861. The Emmitsburg COM
munity besides serving in ST. Anne's,
gave over their infirmary in Richmond
for the use of wounded soldiers.
Other hospitals in and around Rich
mond were made ready and as soon as
they were opened the surgeons APP
piled for Sisters to take charge of
them. AS schools and academies had
been closed for some time, hospital
work was the general occupation. In
the summer of 1861 the community at
Emmitsburg was depleted It's few

MANY ORDERS WERE REPRE-

THEIR HEROIC SACRIFICES.

ReyaGerald G. Treacy,sS. j.; writing
in America, describes the work of our
Catholic Nuns in the Civil War.
From the imperfect records obtain
able, dealing with the activities of the
different Sisterhoods during the six
ties. it would seem that besides the
Sisters of Mercy, the Sisters of St.
Joseph, of the Holy Cross, and of
Charity did relief work for the wound
ed, on battlefield and in hospitals.
Archbishop Hughes, writing to Arch
bishop Kenrick in May, 1861, said:
"The Superior of the Jesuits here
called upon me to state that their
society would be prepared to furnish
for the spiritual necessities of the
army, North and South, as many as
ten chaplains speaking all the civilized
Languages of Europe and America.
!. .. For myself have sent one
chaplain with the Sixty-ninth Regi-
ment. -. There is another
question; about nurses for the sick
and wounded. Our Sisters of Mercy
have volunteered after the example
of their sisters toiling in the Crimean
war. am now informed
that the Sisters Of Charity in the dio
cese would be willing to volunteer q

A CUSTOM RESTORED
PROTESTANTS ARE ANXIOUS TO
PROMOTE THE CUSTOM OF
REclTlNG THE ANGELUS.

Not only Benediction services, but
copied from the Catholic Church, are
now fairly common in the Church of
England. Certain Anglicans are at
present engaged in propagating the
pious practice of saying the Angelus,
which, according to some authors, can
be traced to Pope Urban H. A CORE
spondent of the Church Times" Mr..
X. Stannett, tells how earnestly the
work is carried on. For some years
now,' he says, 1--WE have been send
world: Angelus cards, leaflets, medi-
tations on the Angelus, small posters
for church pcrches, begging the clergy
to use their church bells, not merely
for the purpose of playing tunes and
sounding pleasant chimes at we'd
dings, but for the far higher purpose
of bringing before people the Eaily
of the Incarnation, remind
ing them of Gods presence in daily
life, setting them praying in the field
and in the market The Protestant
population of England have grown so
much into the habit of leading their
lives without having recourse to any
pious practices that not many are
likely to recite the Angelus daily.
But to those Anglicans who do recite
the Angelic Salutation regularly spir-
itual benefits must come, and they
will, we feel sure, be drawn nearer to
the Catholic Church, the true center
