During the recent general election
IN Canada, charges were made against
the French religious orders, whose
members had sought refuge on this
side OF the Atlantic when driven
some years ago from France 1t was
charged that they used their asylum
IN Canada to undermine Canada

at the beginning of the war and took
their stand with their fellow country

may be mentioned:
AT the outbreak of war, practically
the entire body of French Francis

France to do their duty, he said. I'm

informed, there now remain but six
french franciscan priests, that these
six are exempt from military service

Those who returned to- France
were assigned to various war duties
and 81 Of them went into the trenches.

A Rare Mission Church
OLD STRUCTURE IN DESERT SAW
MARTYRDoM OF MANY MISSION
+ ARlES-HISTORIC ARIZONA MIS-
SION vERITABLE PALACE OF
DESERT.

The mission of San Xavier de BAG
is one of the few examples of pure
Moorish architecture in the United
States, says the Catholic Record"
Unlike most of the old missions, San
Xavier is built of stone and white
brick, not of adobe. The good priests
built in the desert land temple
worthy of their own cities beyond the
sea. Father Kino, who laid the foun-
datiOn of San Xavier, was of the royal
house of Bavaria and his mission in
the wilderness was truly royal The
mural paintings of the building would
have graced cathedral in the old
world.
Built on a plateau in the Arizona
mountains, the white towers shine like
marble in the glazing sunlight. In
front of the mission walls giant palms
lend note of restful green. The
gateWays are arched with Spanish
lions. In front of the building is a
large open space where the Indians
and the holy fathers meet to discuss
the affairs of the mission
San Xavier was built and is CON
Quoted by both Jesuits and Francis
cans. Over the altar built by Jesuits
stands statue of ST. Francis Xavier,
below the images of the Blessed Vir-
gin and st. Paul. Seventy-nine priests
of both orders lost their lives in one
Indian massacre before the altar The
history of the mission has been a
tribute to the bravery of these monks
and priests who, in spite of frequent
massacres, kept the work of Father
Kino alive in the desert.
The mission, since Indian days, has
been made school for Indian chill
dren. It's mural paintings are almost
as fresh and living today as before
the departure of the Jesuits. The
walls show little traces of the pas
sage of many years.

in the Orders of the Day, two have
been decorated with the Military
Medal, one has received the Cross OF
the Legion of Honour, one has been
wounded and discharged, and one was
killed on the field of battle, after he
had been twice mentioned in the
Orders of the Day, and had received
the Military Medal. From LInstitut
des Freres de INSTRUCTION Cretienne
twenty-five members returned to
France and entered the French army.
OF these, four have been decorated
and mentioned in the Orders of the
Day, four have been wounded, one was
taken prisoner, one who was twice
wounded has been missing for three
years, and is assumed to have died
of his wounds, and two were killed
on the field of battle.
All the members of the congrega-
ton of the Holy Cross who we're
French subjects answered the call to
the colors. One was wounded twice,
and returned again to the front. One
has been reported missing for over
a year and is assumed to be dead or
prisoner, and three others are still
fighting in the trenches. The Fathers
of the Congregation of the Holy
Ghost sent three of their members to
the French army, and fourth is on
his way to France. One of those
who returned to France was killed at
the front, and another who is now
seriously wounded has been deco.
rated with the Military Cross, and was
twice mentioned in the Orders of the
Day
"The Trappists had only two French
members of military age, and both
returned to France in 1914. One of
them, Father Thomas, received two
decorations-th Military Cross and
the Military Medal-Was twice men
toned in the Orders of the Day, and
later, in rescuing companion, suf-
fered the loss of both eyes. Today
he is a teacher of the blind in France
The other Trappist who returned to
his native country was Father Hypo-
1.-THE, who is now fighting with seven
of his brothers in the French army.
'The twelve French subjects who
were members of the Sulpician Order,
when the war broke out Immediately
reported for duty. Seven went to
France and later on served in Lor-
raine, Verdun, Champagne and Sa-
lonica campaigns. One was decorated
with the Military Cross at Verdun. .
The speaker reviewed the record
of a score or more of other communi-
ties, showing similar self-sacrifce.
The charges made were shown to be
pure inventions, designed to make po-
litical capital out of religious preju-
dices.

Many people interested in the events
know how the Catholics of that coun-

obtained last December. AS soon as
they had put to flight or captured the
sinister revolutionaries who have OPP
pressed this faithful kingdom for
provisional government of three men,
belonging to three different parties,
but all in accord on the essential prin-
ciple of placing civil institutions on a
religious basis and reserVing to them
selves the right to conyoke the .Cortes,
which will decide the form Of govern

The president, Senior Sidonio Paiz,
has been by turns officer of artillery,
professor Of mathematics and diplo-
mat. He is very popular with the
people, and has had triumphant
progress through the provinces. He
hates injustice and arbitrary methods,
and his courageous defense of the last
exiled Patriarch brought him the
gratitude of the Catholics and the
hatred of the revolutionaries. He is
particularly charged with the conduct
of foreign relations
The second of the trio, Senior
Machado Santos, exercises his func-

chief of carbonarios, but seems sin
cerely converted, and has suffered for
his denunciation of his old associates,
who kept him in prison for eighteen
months. He in his turn has now ar

CAUSE OF Plus TX.
SANITY PoNTIFF NOW APPEALS
ITO MANY-PRoCESS OF. HIS
LIFE is BEING PREPARED.

A case that arouses much interest
in Rome is that of the process which
has been carried on for years in the
cause of the Identification of Pope
Plus k The momentous events that
happened in his Pontifcate, the fact
that he outreigned the days of ST.
Peter, and his long life of suffering
in silence and meekness have obtained
for Plus TX, a warm corner in the
hearts of men, The following par
ticulars will then be of interest about
this case as it stands at present:
The main process; or rather the
main part of it, is being carried on in
Rome. But Naples, Gaeta, and Por-
tici have also no unimportant parts,
for years of the great Pontiff's life
were passed in these places, and many
occurrences of note happened there.
The process carried on in Rome deals
with six distinct points, viz:
1.-The biography of Pho Mono from
his birth until the last moment of his
life.
2.-The heroic virtues, theological
virtues and cardinal virtues, as prac-
ticed by him.
3.-The gifts of prophesying and of
ecstacies as verified in his life.
4.-His last illness and death. The
transport of his remains from the
Vatican to the cemetery of San
Lorenzo.
Reputation for sanctity before
and after death.
Miracles wrought and favors OBJ
tanned through his intercession.
This process has, it may be added,
brought to light new features hither-
to unsupported in the life of Plus TX
Until the evidence of many who knew
the Pontiff we'll came to be taken
very few were aware of his having
been endowed with the gifts of
prophecy and of ecstacy. Mention of
the prophecies of Plus TX. reminds
one that the fall Of Rome was proph-
esied to His Holiness, it is said, by
the holy founder Of the Pious Society
