WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO PREPAREDNESS?

We ont hear a much about military preparedness as We did six months
or a year ago.
Yet thousands Of muiiamen are still on the Mexican border. doing the
work Of professional soldiers. and from the latest ley it seems possible
that they may do some real fighting before they return 20 their homes and
vocations.
A German submarine has been buy at its commerce destroying work
within a few miles 81 our shores. The conduct O. the U boats commander
strictly in accordance with Germanys promises to us-but suppose that
he had made a mistake and torpedoed an American coastng steamer?
American citizens died when the British steamer Marina was sunk by a
submarine off the Irish coast, and the severance OF or diplomatic relations
with Germany is a possible result.
Congress has authorized a large increase Of NJ naval power but no
adequate increase in u land fighting force has been made.
Some day W e will wake up o the necessity OF real preparedness and uni
versal military training and servfce-but It is likely to be the extremely IN
comfortable awakening OF the man who jumps out of his warm bed on a win
ter night because he smells smoke in the room, says a railroad magazine.

OBJECT TO DIVORCE
CATHOLIC PANAMA IN BIG PRO
TEST AGAINST NEW MAR
RAGE LAW.

On October l the new Civil Code OF
the Panama republic went into force
establishing the civil marriage as OBJ
ligatory to all, and legalizing divorce
Hundreds of kilograms and protesta-
tions, besides two memorials signed
by the most prominent citizens, had
been addressed to the National AS
sembly; the largest manifestation
ever witnessed in the capital counted
no less than 5000 people of all
classes of society To protest against
such arbitrary dispositions and to en-
tighten the consciences of the faith
full, the Bishop of Panama addressed
a pastoral to his flock, in which he
traces their line of conduct. He first
reminds them of the teachings of the
Church, that for loyal Catholics there
is no marriage where there is no sac
rament, and that ceremony purely
civil does not by any means unite in
matrimony, ETC.; then, after showing
the consequences of divorce, which
has never been countenanced by the
Church, the Bishop proclaims the fol
lowing penalties: Refusal to admit as
sponsors in baptism or confirmation
those united by civil marriage, and
declaration that the deputies who
voted or sanctioned these anti-Catho.
lie laws have incurred excommunica-
tion.

ONLY NATIVE PRIESTS
BRAZIL WANTS ONLY NATIVE
PRIESTS IN CHURCH PLACES.

According to a dispatch to the Phil
adelphia Public Ledger, the Brazilian
foreign Office declares for the neces-
sity of the appointment of Brazilian
priests exclusively for all ecclesiastic
positions in that country. The Apos-
tolic Nuncio has agreed and the Car
dinal has circulated pastoral letter
in which he recommends obedience to
the government and orders that the
circular be exhibited outside all the
churches. A telegram from the Pres
ident of the republic announcing a
state of war asks the Catholic schools
to give precedence in their curricula
to the Portuguese language, the ma
tional history and geography; to cele-
brate the national holidays in order
to inspire patriotism; to- close the
German colleges and schools and to
prohibit preaching in the German Ian
guage. It also assures the Catholics
that the property of the religious or
ders is in no danger of confscation,
and ends by recommending unity and
the reading of the Cardinals pastoral
in all the churches.

TO RAISE HALF MILLION
CLERGY AND LAlTY TO UNITE IN
WORK FOR DUBUQUE
COLLEGE.

The big drive for the one-half mil
lion endowment fund of Dubuque col
lege, Dubuque, Iowa, will be started
the first week of December.
Preparations for the campaign
proper have been completed. In a
few weeks 80 priests of the archdio-
cese of Dubuque will be actively en-
gagged in assisting Dubuque college to
financial independence. Their first
move will be to organize the parishes,
the system and the date having al
ready been arranged. Under the lead
ership of Archbishop Keane the big
drive will reach every part of the di-
ocese, and will be terminated, ac-
cording to present plans. by Easter.
The clergy are not the only ones
to signify their intention of boosting
in every possible way, the endowment
fund. Many prominent laymen will
also be actively assisting. To wage a
big campaign at the present time re-
quires big men. The prospects for the
successful termination of the cam
paign are, to say the least, promising.
Approximately 100000 has already
been subscribed.

GOODNESS IN DANGER
NUNS SAVE FOUR HUNDRED
WOUNDED IN HEAVY BoM-
BARDMENT.

A special cable from the London
Times to the Washington Post says:
"Galatz is frequently bombarded.
Since the occupation of the Dobrudja
by the Central Powers this open
town has received not less than 5000
shells. Last week the bombardment
was stronger than usual, especially
against hospitals. Last Friday an
aeroplane flew over the building of the
Catholic nuns hospital of Notre Dame
de Sion, which sheltered 400 wounded,
marking it as target. Soon after
the bombardment started thirty shells
of heavy caliber fell on the building.
The hospital nuns were able to move
in time all the wounded to the cellar
Thanks to the celerity of their work,
there were no casualties except two
nuns wounded while in the chapel
The building was hit by ten incen
diary shells but none burst. The
whole first floor was wrecked, and
it was almost a miracle that. the
building did not catch fire.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

the rights of free men throughout the
world, there has been vouchsafed us
in full and inspiring measure the reso-
luton and spirit of united action.
We have been brought to one mind
and purpose.
A new vigor of common counsel
and common action has been revealed
God that in such circumstances, in
the midst of the greatest enterprise
the spirits of men have ever entered
upon, we have, if we but observe a
reasonable and practicable economy,
abundance with which to supply the
needs of those associated with us as
well as our own. A new light shines
about us. The great duties of day
awaken a new and greater national
spirit in us. We shall never again
be divided or wonder what stuff we
are made of.
And while we render thanks for
these things let us pray Almighty God
that in all humbleness of spirit we
may look always to Him for guidance;
that we may be kept constant in the
spirit and purpose of service; that by
His grace our minds may be directed
and our hands strengthened, and that
in His good time liberty and security
and peace and the comradeship of a
common justice may be vouchsafed all
the nations of the earth.
Wherefore. l. Woodrow Wilson,
President of the United States of
America, do hereby designate Thurs
day, the 29th day of November, 1917,
as day of thanksgiving and prayer,
and invite the people throughout the
land to cease upon that day from
their ordinary occupations, and in
their several homes and places Of
worship to render thanks to God, the
great ruler of nations.

HIBERNIANS CONDEMN
DISLOYALTY
DEPLoRE AS UN-AMERlcAN AND
DiSLOYAL PUBLIC STATEMENTS
BY JERRY O'LEARY AND
OTHERS - APPROVE STRUGGLE
FOR LIBERTY.

The following resolutions were
adopted by Milwaukee Division of
the Ancient Order of Hibernians on
November s:
I'VE condemn as criminal any con-
duct on the part kof citizens or resi-
dents of America of the character
referred to in the messages of the
German embassy recently disclosed
by the Secretary of State, and
we deplore the fact that such mes
sages contain references to names of
Irish origin.
1--WE condemn as un-American and
disloyal the public statements made,
O'Leary, Judge Daniel F. Cohalan
and Joseph MacGarrity.
I'VE glory in the consciousness
that America is engaged in the great
est struggle for liberty in which the
world has yet engaged; that in that
struggle we recognize in England
one of Americas allies; that while
we fondly hope Ireland may yet
share in the fruits of this great strug
gle for liberty, yet we are ready and
eager to serve America, each in the
way it is given to him to serve, in
her fight shoulder to shoulder with
England, France and the other allies
whatever be the consequences to
Ireland.
I'VE condemn any effort, here OF
abroad, to attack or weaken England
an ally of America in this war"

New German Chancellor
THE MOST POWERFUL MAN IN
CATHOLIC PARTY.

OF Won Hertling's personality we
learn the following:
His is the most potent voice in
the Centrist, or Catholic Party
though he takes little active part in
the manipulation Of affairs in the
Reichstag.. As a Catholic, he enjoys
the supreme confidence of the
Church, even in Rome, or he did pre-.
vious to the war, and there is no
reason to think he, does not now. His
book, The Principles of Catholic
ism and Sciences treatise arguing
for the further spiritual dominion of
the Church of Rome as at present
constituted, has been translated, un-
der Church auspices, into 16 Ian
guages. 1t is said to enjoy an enor-
nous circulation in Germany"

Make Soldiers Comfortable
NEW YORK CATHOLICS PLAN
CLUB HOUSE FOR MEN ON
FURLouGH.

Not content to rest upon their fine
record of achievement in volunteer
war activities, the Catholic Club of the
city of New York met last week to
consider suggestions from Catholic
organizations for greater tasks. The
keynote of the meeting was struck by
Cardinal Farley, who urged that the
club give heed to the social welfare
of the nations soldiers and sailors.
A plan, by which men on furlough to
New York will be given companion
ship and help, and which may include
the establishment of a great central
club house for enlisted men, was in
dorsed and presented by the club to
its committee on war activities for
consideration.
