BREAD RATION IN BRITAIN
Necessary to Keep Munition Workers
Properly Fed.

London, April 24.-England will
soon be placed on bread rations, it is
understood.
1t is generally conceded that the
bread problem is the crux of the whole
food situation, for it is upon bread
that the working classes depend. 1t
is maintained that the middle class
and the rich can easily find substitutes
but that the munitions employees,
whose labor is so necessary to the
conduct of the war, must be provided
with bread, and, in order to accom-
plish this, restrictions must be placed
upon its use.

Ananias.

The name Ananias is in disrepute be-
cause of the liar of that name men-
toned in the fifth chapter of the Acts
of the Apostles. Two others of the
name are mentioned in the Scriptures.
One of these was high priest in \. ID.
4S who was afterward assassinated;
the other was Jewish disciple at
Damascus. Tradition makes him to
have been bishop of Damascus and to
have died by martyrdom.

lished Berlin press dispatch to the
effect that at q reception to foreign
journalists in Berlin the most reas-

concerning the democratic character
of the new orientation as evidenced
by the proposed legislation. In fact,
it was said, democracy is on the
march" Nothing was said about
Germany's war aims except the gen.

be astonished by the moderation of
the German peace terms" So far as
can be learned, this information ap-

MORE ABOUT MEXICO
REPORTS STILL SHOW DEATHS
THROUGH PERSECUTION.

1t has been given out, through the
American press, that there is no long
er any religious persecution in Mex
leo, but two priests have arrived from
Saltillo who have a different story to
tell. Both were seized one day at five
o'clock in the morning, taken to the
cemetery where executions are held,
and then put aboard a train under
guard and brought through Eagle Pass
into the United States. The governor
informed them that he had received
his orders from Mexico City. The two
priests were not allowed to go home
even for clothing or their breviaries.
Word has been received at the Of
fee of the Catholic Church Extension
Society that the priest of the parish
of San Francisco fAngamacutiro} was
called to attend a sick person at ten
in the morning. On his way he was
taken by armed men into cornfield
and shot to death. The name of the
martyred priest was the Rev. Fran
cisco de p Martinez. The names of
the exiled priests are the Rev. +. Cha
yez and Rev. Fidel Dominguez. Both
were of the Diocese of Saltillo.

Two big campaigns are before Brit
ish Catholics, the preservation of
Catholic schools and the safeguarding
of the sanctity Of marriage for the
nation. The campaign against the new
Education bill is in active preparation;
the campaign to support the invio-

Manchester this week, under the pres
idency of the Mayor-elect, at which
divorce after three years separation
was loudly aduoeaEed The present
mayor of Manchester is a Catholic

wishes. The Catholic Federation,
which recently rose in it's might and
prevented some impressario gang
from opening atheatre next door to a
Catholic Church, has received permis-
sion from Cardinal Bourne to start an
anti-divorce campaign. Twelve of
the most representative Catholic soci-
eties have been called to conference
by the Federation, and by the end Of
the month a program of public meet
ings by various Catholic bodies will
be fairly launched.

437, 900 Catholics in Army
FIFTY PER CENT OF MARINES
ARE OF OLD FAITH.

Rev. Louis ]. O'Hern, C. s.. p, re-
Gently gave some striking figures re-
garding the number of Catholic young
men in the service of the country.
There are, he declared, at the present
time, more than 100000 Catholics un-
der arms in the United States, and
out of the draft probably $4,000 will
be Catholics. Among the Marines,
who are called the most efficient
fighting force in the world more than
fifty per cent of the entire army are
Catholics, and the navy has slight
ly higher percentage. Hence there
will be 437 1000 Catholics in the first
national army. The government will
provide only a part of the priests
needed to minister to this vast num-
Der of Catholics.

y ~ ~
large number of former students
of st. Thomas have already applied
through the College for admission to
the third camp. Blanks furnished by
the War Department are sent, on re-
quest, by the College to young men
who desire to secure places in this

The privilege which the War De-.

the school unusual opportunities of
entering the various branches of the
service under the most favorable con-
ditions. AS the lists will be closed on
December l., former students who in
tend to avail themselves of the oppor-.
tunity which now presents itself,
should do so without loss of time.

CATHOLICS IN SERVICE

that the United States government
was so grossly unfair in its method of
drafting. How then explain this singu-
lar fact? If we examine the lists of
those who were originally drawn by
lot we do not find this extraordinary
disproportion. We are forced then to
have. recourse to the physical exam
nations to discover an explanation.
Again we cannot suppose that the
physicians could be partial to such an
extent even if they wished to be SO.
What then? The conclusion that
seems to force itself upon us is that
our Catholic men were freer than 9TH
ers from those diseases that disqual-
ify men for military service. 1t is no
secret what these diseases are, which,
in greatest measure, make men unfit
for virile occupations. Shall We con-
clude that Catholics are more patriotic
because they lead cleaner lives!"

oNE-THIRD OF OUR ARMY ARE
CATHOLICS - PHYSICAL EXAM
NATION EXPLAINS THIS LARGE
PROPORTION - DO CATHOLICS
LEAD CLEANER LIVES?

In an address which he delivered
recently to the students of the Du-
auesne University, Pittsburgh, Right
Reverend William Russell, D. D., LII.
d., Bishop of Charleston, S. c., brought
out very interesting and illuminat-
ing point in connection with the army:
"The secretary of war has officially
stated that perhaps 35 per cent OF the
soldiers in the American army are
Catholics. Some have claimed that
90 per cent are Catholics. 1t is safe
at any rate to assert that at least one
third of the men in the army at the
present time are Catholics. In view
of the fact that Catholics are about
one-sixth of the whole population of
the United States, the question arises.
How is it that the proportion OF Cath
olics in the army is twice as large as
we would expect from their proportion
to the whole population? Are we to
suppose that Catholics have volun-
teered to. this extent more readily
than others? Is the, patriotism Of
Catholics so much more enthusiastic;
than that of others? We believe not,
The explanation must come from an,
other cause. Shall we suppose that
in drawing lots, Catholics happened to
be selected in such disproportion? A
small dispropertion either way might
be explained as the result of chance;
but will mere chance explain how
twice as many Catholics were chosen
ssNor may be suspect for moment

PARISH HOME WRECKED
REcToRY or sT.AeNEs CHURCH
WAS THE SCENE OF AN ExPLo-
SION WHICH TOOK PLACE LAST
suNDAY-THREE PRIESTS IN
THE HOUSE, BUT NO ONE WAS
INJURED.

Sunday morning, November 4, at
four o'clock, a bomb was thrown into
the parish house of st. Agnes Church,
SAT Thomas Street, st. Paul. The oc-
cupants of the house. including Rev.
Anthony Ogulin, the pastor. and his,
two assistants, Rev. Ernest Rickert
and Rev. JOS. Freisleben, escaped in
jury in wonderful manner. The
work of destruction in the interior of
the house was almost complete. Win.
doWs were smashed, the walls of both
house and rooms were completely
ruined. furniture was destroyed, book
cases and books hurled in every direc--
tion. A large heavy door struck the
pastor violently, though he was in
jured but slightly.
Various theories were advanced as
to the identity of the mysterious cul-
prit. Last Tuesday, however, a man
giving the name of w. sDrissler, alias
John Hitchler, was arrested by Chief
of Police John j. O'Connor. The
prisoner. according to the Chief of
Police, has admitted the offense. He
gave as his reason hatred of the Cath
olic Church. The police believe that
the man is demented.

GERMAN MISSIONS
IN EAST AFRICA WlLL BE TAKEN
OVER BY BRITISH PRIESTS.

A press dispatch from London
says:
All the Catholic missions located
in German East Africa are to be
taken over by clergy of British or
igin. The arrangements for this
change have been effected through
the British envoy to the Vatican. :
The Catholic missionary enter
prises were carried on, under the
German regime, by the Benedictine
erder in the coastal districts, and in
land by the White Fathers. The
transfer has been made with COM
parative ease, owing to the fact that
the religious bodies negotiating on
either side were branches of the same
Catholic Church. Nationality thus
became minor difference.
The value of the German mission
properties which are to be trans
ferred is considerable. The area OF
the mission lands is really enormous,
The most important building is the
church at Dar-es-salaam which cost
$35, 900.
Those German priests who have
placed themselves under the British
authorities, have been deported chief
ly to Egypt. Others are still with
the remnant of the German forces as
chaplains. !.

straight if they are determined to do

enough on the folly of girls flirting

prevalent / know the charm of an
automobile trip on hot night after

the girls must realize their peril and
what dangers they face when they
step into the car of strange man.
Many times, am sure, a girl does
not intend any harm. She simply
wants a ride, but there are very few
times, almost none, one might say, in
which the men who give these invita-
tions do not mean harm. There is a,
beast in every man, and civilization
does not seem to have been at all sue
cessful in eradicating it. 1t is this
side of mems nature about which girls
must be taught and warned. They
must realize what the motive back of
