PRELATE IS DEPORTED
GERMAN GOVERNMENT REsENTs
SPIRITUAL JURISDICTION OF
ADMINISTRATORS

The deportation by the German mill
tary authorities to the Abbey of Maria
Laach Of Mgr. Casimir Nicholas Mich
alkiewicz, administrator-apostolic of
the diocese of Wilma, in Lithuania, is
told in a speech delivered in the
reichstag by the Polish deputy, Herr
korfanty.
The bishop, of wilma, Mgr. ,Ropp, was
banished by the late Russian govern
ment to Pskoy, and the diocese was
placed under the administration of
Mgr. Michalkiewicz.- According to
Deputy Korfanty, four pro-German &C.
clesiastics belonging to the diocese en-
gagged in propaganda, work for the
German government, accompanied by
members of the Prussian police force.
Their zeal in this work was greater
than their discretion, and the admins
trator-apostolic ordered that they
should undergo canonical discipline.
Immediately he was arrested and de-
ported. The German officer in com
mand gave him only three hours to
prepare for his departure, and he was
not allowed to say farewell to his
chapter. The incident has called forth
indignant protests in the reichstag
from the Center and Polish deputies
who bitterly resent the manner in
which the military authorities have
dealt with Mgr. Michalkiewicz.

REQUESTS FOR MASSES
DISABILITY OF CATHOLICS IN
ENGLAND TO BE REMEDlED.

Cardinal Bourne took the case con
corning the requests made him by a
retired Irish butler, and which were
disallowed on account of their being
specifically for saying Mass, to the
Court of Appeal. The hearing occu-
pied two days last week, and the judy
ment of the Court of Appeal went
against the Cardinal and the religious
orders, Dominicans, Franciscans, and
Jesuits, each participating to the eX-
tent of $1,000 apiece, while the residue
of an estate of $4,000 should have
gone to the Cardinal.
The court held that the requests
were for superstitious practices and
such were illegal. The counsel for
the plaintiffs cited the Catholic Eman'
cipation Act of 1929 and event went SO
far as to put forward the doubtful
and difficult plea that "superstitious
practice" was any act of religion not
recognized by law, but, the judges de-
clared the law as it stood had been
esta blished for close upon hundred
years. Counsel then pointed out that
up to the fifteenth century money left
for Masses was not an illegal gift, but
this had no effect. The only remedy
is to bring a bill into Parliament tC
do away with these disabilities.

HOUSE OF LORETTO
A NEW WORK MAKES USE OF
AUTHENTIC DOCUMENTS.

The Procurator-G General of the Con-
gregation of the Holy Ghost, Padre
Eschbach, has just added most in
teresting contribution to the literature
concerning the Holy House of Loretto
and it's translation to Italy from the
Holy Land. Hitherto no mention of
the Holy House has been found in
contemporary literature or documents
before 1472, and this has been urged
by some against the authenticity of
the translation But Bull of Pope
Clement v, published in July, 1910,
speaks of pilgrimage made in refer
ence to a vow by the Chevalier Charles
Louis of Scheveden ito the feet of the
miraculous Virgin Mary of Loretto.'
This of course is proof that the shrine
was famous even as early as the first
years of the fourteenth century and
is of great Importance to its history.
Padre Eschbach is at some pains to
successfully refute those persons who
suggest that the Bull is not authentic
and produces various evidences of its
authenticity demolishing arguments
against that authenticity and going to
the Vatican archives to prove his evi,
dence. He has written a brochure OF
thirty pages on the matter which is OF
great interest to all clients of Our
| Lady Of Loretto.

ALIEN RELIGIOUS
ALIEN ENEMY LAWS RAISE CUES
TON IN ENGLAND. =

The recent agitation against per-
sons in England of enemy origin, and
the passing of a new act to deal with
these cases, brings up again the ques-
ton of priests and religious who come
into this classification. Both Cath
olics and Protestants are concerned
Many of the Catholics are members
of religious orders. The government
seems inclined to leave the matter to
a very large extent in the hands of
the Cardinal Archbishop, who in one
instance appointed a British superior,
who is responsible for every member
of the religious household.
The whole question of priests and
religious of enemy origin is to come
before the House of Commons Com
mittee shortly. Under the Hague
Convention there are only two courses
open--they can be repatriated, or ex-
empt from internment or repatriation.
But they cannot be interned unless
they break the laws or are of bad
moral character, and it is practically
certain that the charitable works they
are performing will cause them to be
exempt from any proceedings under
the next Act, which is aimed against
persons who are working in the inter.
ests of the enemy, and not to restrict
religious persons in the carrying out
of their duties.

interesting instance is found in Grand
Forks, where the parochial school was
opened for the fall term of 1915
Though it's history is brief, it's influ,
ence is already an inestimable force
for good.
Realizing, however, the Importance
of a Catholic high school for the city
as we'll as the adjacent country, the
authorities became actively interested
in the establishment, and in Novem-
Der. 1917, the Sisters of st. Joseph
of st. Paul Province, purchased what
was formerly st. Demands Academy
and early in the spring of 1918 the
entire building was remodelled, with
the result that the academy ranks
equal with the most modern school
building with every convenience for
comfort and health
Situated in the suburbs of Grand
Forks it enjoys the combined advan.
tages of country life and ready access
to city privileges without the CORE

from city distractions gives the stu

favorable for concentrated study. The

The ceremonies were opened by
Mgr. Barnes. DR.. Buckley made the
principal address in which he outlined
the origin and history of the Knights
of Columbus. He described their ex-
pansion to various countries, and re-
viewed the vast work which they are
accomplishing for God and country.
He gave his English audience a clear
insight into the workings of this great
organization, and made a deep i'm
preston upon them with his closing
words: eve are all Catholics, we all
have the spiritual welfare of our sol
diers at heart. Most earnestly do we
desire that our men in the front line,
in hourly danger of death, should have

week ago at the leper colony of Molo-
kai in the Hawaiian Islands where she
had spent thirty-fve years of her life
in ministering to the unfortunate vic
Tins of loathsome disease.
She was born in Germany 50 years
ago-Barbara Kopp. the daughter of
Peter and Barbara Kopp. She came
to this country with her parents as
a child and when she was Is years
old she entered the Sisterhood of the
Third Order of ST. Francis.
1t was in 1883 that Father Leonore,
follower and co-laborer of Father
Damian, came to this country from
the Hawaiian Islands, asking for Sis.

leper colony at Molokai. Mother Ma

feeling that it was an opportunity to
render Incompatible service. She
gave up the high position of superior
in her order and, together with five
other nuns, left Syracuse in October

prevails throughout the buildings
The offices, reception rooms, library
and laboratory are situated on the
first floor in the east wing. There are
large, commodious, well lighted rooms,
artistically arranged, giving a home
like appearance to the school. The
west wing of the first floor is entirely
given over to class rooms, all of which
are most modern in their appoint
ments. The music studios occupy the
north side Of the west wing.
The chapel is located on the second
floor of the east wing and has seat
ing capacity of about five hundred.
The west wing and the entire third
floor are equipped with private rooms
and dormitories. An addition has
been made to the old building which
will be used as an assembly hall on
one floor and gymnasium on another.
The aim of the school is to give a
thorough Catholic education to the
girls entrusted to it's care, to surround
them with a wholesome atmosphere
which will develop the possibilities of
each student to their fullest extent.
The departments of the school are the
Elementary School with primary and
preparatory departments, and the
High School, Music and Art. The re-
quirements in scholarship are those
that are in force in the best private
schools. The requirements of the Col
lege Entrance Examination board are
complied with in the high school de-
partment, when a pupil signifies her
intention of following college course.
Pupils in the high school, who COM
plete satisfactorily the required col
lege preparatory work and are recon-
mended by the school, may enter St.
Catherine College, ST. Paul, without
the usual entrance examinations.
The initial term opens on Monday,
September Is, 1918. The efficiency of
the faculty and attractiveness of the
Academy itself guarantee a success
full school year. Parents who realize
the necessity of Catholic education
for their children, and who thoroughly
appreciate the advantage of having
such efficient Graded and High Schools
SO near their homes, can not consci-
entiously feel that they are accom-
plishing their duty, when they spurn
our Catholic institutions of learning.

For seven years after his gradu-
alton from West Point Pershing re-
ceived no promotion, says William
Heylinger in Boys Life, the Boy
Scouts Magazine, for July.
Nevertheless, with customary grit
he applied himself to master his pro-
fession. He became an authority on
military tactics and was sent to West
Point as an instructor. He was there
when the Spanish American war
broke out, and Immediately applied
for a command. The war depart
ment sent him to the Tenth cavalry,
a colored troop, as first lieutenant,
and then his rise began. His troop
went to Cuba. He led it at the battle
of FL Caney and came out of that en-
gagement a captain for "gallantry in
action"
Next he went to the Philippines.
General Chaffee sent him to the hills
of Western Mindanao, where the sui
tan of Bacolod ruled 100000 Moham-
medan Malays who thought it vir-
tue to kill a Christian. The sultan's
stronghold had walls of earth and
bamboo forty feet thick, and was sur
rounded by moat 40 feet wide. To
reach that stronghold it was neces
sary to cut a path through dense trop
zeal jungles.
General Pershing, with the same

sultan that the killing of Christians
had to stop. The sultan laughed
