Tribute From A
French Priest To
US. Army Maj.

Maj. Gen. G. R. Edwards of the
l26th Division, A. E. F., lately arrived
from France, was given an en-
thusiastic reception by the citizens of
Boston. From his interesting address,
we Gull the following:
Touching Tribute From Priest.
Zone of the most pleasing letters

wards, "was from the Catholic priest
at Rupt-en-Woevre, after our boys
had gone in there and the Huns were
on the run. I think it is one of the
most beautiful letters I have ever re-
ceived and it touched the heart of
every member of the division. It read
as follows:
"Sir, your gallant Goth American
Division has just set us free. Since
September, 1914, the barbarians have
held the heights of the Mouse, have
/ murdered three hostages from Mou-
lily, have shelled Rupt, and on July
%, 1915, forced it's inhabitants to scat
ter to the four corners of France. /,
who remain at my little listening post
upon the advice of my Bishop, feel
certain, sir, that l do but speak for
Monsigneur Ginisty, Lord Bishop of
| Verdun, my pensioners of Rupt,
Mouilly and Genicourt and the people
of this vicinity, in conveying to you
and your associates the heartfelt and
unforgetable gratitude of ALL
"seveHlI of your comrades lie at
rest in our truly Christian and French
soil. Their ashes shall be cared for
as if they were our own. We shall
cover their graves with flowers and
shall kneel by them as their own fami-
lies would do with a prayer to God to
reward with eternal glory these her.
oes fallen on the field of honor and to
bless the Goth Division and generous
Americans.

preston of my profound respect.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN
MISSION RAZED
NUNS AND CHILDREN HAVE MAR
ROW ESCAPES AS FLAMES
TAKE INSTITUTION.

Great Falls, Mont.-St. Peters mis-
sion, located in the Rocky mountains
on the road between Great Falls and
Helena, was burned to the ground
early last Sunday morning. Seven
Ursuline Sisters with forty-two Indian
children from to IA years of ageSoc-
cupied the building. The fire broke
out on the second story just below
the children's dormitory and when
discovered the smoke was so thick
that the children were saved with the
utmost difficulty by the seven women,
each having to be taken down the fire
escapes and in the majority of cases
to be carried. There were many mar
row escapes, but all were saved, al
though many without other than their
night clothes.
Neighboring farmers took the in
mates to their homes and cared for
them.
The mission was located by the
Jesuits more than fifty years ago and
comprises farm of over 1900 acres.
The loss was in the neighborhood of
100000, without insurance.

Unique Story
Of The War
PHILIP GIBBS WRITES OF AN
OLD LADY WHO ASKED HIM TO
"SHUT THE DOOR" WHEN
COURTRAl WAS BEING
SHIELDED.

In Courtrai the advancing troops
found among the Inhabitants an elder
ly lady, cousin of President Wilson,
who had been in the city throughout
the whole period of the German occu-
patton. The story of this wonderful
old lady is told by Philip Gibbs, the
world famous Catholic war cores
pondent. Mr.. Gibbs says:
II found one old English lady in the
city, or rather an Irish lady, named
Miss Mary Cunningham. She is an
old lady of over 70, who has lived in
Courtrai for twelve years, at first in
well-to-do circumstances, her father
being flax spinner, but afterwards
obliged to earn her living teaching
French and English to Flemish pupils.
Even that failed her after the war,
because, as it dragged on, English and
French did not seem much good to
people surrounded by Germans. So
Miss Cunningham is poor now, and
lives in tiny house opposite the
cathedral with cooking stove in her
parlor, and not much to cook on it,
poor SOUL But she received us as a
great lady of the old school, with most
beautiful dignity, undisturbed by
noises without" ominous crashes
close at hand, and sounds Of breaking
glass. She made only one remark
showing that she noticed these things.
"Do you mind shutting the door, she
said, II don't like those bombs COM
ing in" l noticed that bombs" as
she called the German shells, had al
ready broken the front part of her
little parlor, and she was very close
to tho range by the belfrey OF Court
raj. She did not say much about the
war, except when she spoke OF the
Germans as highway robbers, but her
mind went back to Ireland and old
friends there, and her old people. Her
grandmother was a Miss Kimmins,
the sister of President Wilson's great
grandmother. She told us that as a
passing thought but l was startled by
her words, and thought how queer
it was that I should be sitting with
President Wilson's cousin in a little
front parlor Of Courtrai, with Ger
mans not far away, and the city under
shell-fire. I do not know President
Wilson, but should be glad if he
could hear this old lady, so brave, so
gracious in ber poverty and danger,
with such gallant spirit"

Wounded Praise K. Of c.
MEN RETURNING ON TRANS
PORTS TELL THEIR APPREclA-
TON OF WELFARE WORK.

New York City.-None can gauge so
we'll as chaplain serving aboard
transports, bringing our wounded SOL
diers and sailors home, the sentiment
of our fighting men toward the war
relief work carried on by the knights
| of Columbus. During the homeward
voyage across the Atlantic the men
are inclined to talk and it is then they
refer to the service in their behalf
extended by the knights.
Father Marcellus Horn, Capuchin
priest, whose home is in Wheeling, w.
Va, assistant pastor of st. Peter and
St. Paul's church, Cumberland Md,
has served as chaplain in transport
service since June, and has made sew
eral trips to and from France.
II am deeply impressed by what
our soldiers and sailors told me about
Knights of Columbus SERVICE" he
said, "and from personal observation
know how deeply X. of G. service is
appreciated. Without exception
(mind, 1 say without exceptionD, eve
ry soldier and sailor with whom
talked on transports returning to this
country sang the praise of Knights Of
Columbus service.
"Those who had been in actual
fighting were strongest in their COM
mendation. They could not visit K.
of G. buildings and get the many COM
forting things distributed by X. of G.
secretaries, but those things were
brought to them right in the front
fighting lines. Smokes, candy, soap,
towels and stationery were given
them Immediately before and after
battle, and I tell you the men appre-
ciated this service.
81 talked with many who were
wounded in the battle when Perish
ing's men wiped out the St. Mihiel
salient, and they told me about the
knights showering them from aero
planes during battle with cigarets.
They cited this as an example of
what the Knights did for them"

LONDON TIMES HAS

HAS A GOOD WORD TO SAY FOR
THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
CLUB

London. An interesting illustra-
ton of the new turn of affairs in re-
ligious matters in England, and Of the
RELOCATION OF bigotry occurs in the
London Times, which printed an &C
count Of the opening of knights of
Columbus Club in London. J Printing
it's account Immediately under the
Court Circular and preceding the So
ciety news, the Times as to the man
ner born, speaks of TX. of c." Club,
and then proceeds to give a short
account of the history of the Knights.
The opening proceedings were at.
tended by delegation from the Su-
preme Council of the Order, and
speeches were made by DR.. E. w.
Buckley, Supreme Physician, and Hon.
Joseph Scott of California. In the
course of his speech Mr.. Scott said:
America was not military ma
ton; Americans were peace-loving
people, who had no expectation that
they would ever get into this grim
game of war. To the Knights of Col
umbus patriotism was not a policy;
it was a fundamental virtue-an I'M
dying principle.
"The first endorsement from any
great official body in America that
went to the White House was from
the American Hierarchy, and the next
was from the Supreme Board Of Direc-
tors of the knights of Columbus.
"The knights of Columbus were
behind the President and the nation
to stimulate by every possible ounce
of energy at their command the push
ing of this war through to complete
and victorious finish"

Wants US. to Oppose Right
Of Pope to Sitin Peace Meet
SENATOR PoINDExTER WOULD
HAVE PRESIDENT WILSON BE-
COME A PARTY TO THE NEFAR-
lOUS SECRET TREATY BARRING
HOLY FATHER.
(From the Buffalo Echo.)

According to the New York Times"
of November 18th, Senator Poindex-
ter of Washington on November IL
offered a resolution in the United
States Senate in which it is moved,
among other things, that "the United
States should enter into full alliance
with the other belligerent nations at
war with Germany" and should,
through its proper representatives,
become a signatory to the agreement
already made between our co-bellig-
ents, having for it's object complete
unity between them in the matter
aforesaid ii. e., peace negotiations)
known as the Pact of London"
The Pact of London is the nefarious
secret treaty concluded between Great
Britain, France, Russia and Italy early
in the war, Article XIV of which reads
as follows:
France, Great Britain and Russia
take upon themselves to support Italy
in her disallowing representatives of
the Holy See to take any diplomatic
steps for the conclusion of peace or
regarding matters pertaining to the
present war;
When the text of this treaty was
published by the Russian Bolsheviki,
a little over year ago, the British
government, through Lord Cecil, tried
| to conceal it's real animus, but was
forced to admit that the agreement
had been made at the instance of the
Italian Government, which apprehend-
ed ''lest the presence of Vatican del
egate should revitalize the question of
the Pope's claim to temporal power" "
1.-THE Echo" pointed out at the time
(February y that this secret agree
ment was a slap in the face of every
loyal Catholic throughout the world,
and the Catholic Fortnightly Review
declared (Vol. XIV, No. 2, p. 21) that
it's "anti-papal bias is as clear as a
pikestaff.'
A11u 1lOW Cllc fi1lIcl1Cdu
bracing some 100000 Catholics, is
asked through it's representatives in
Congress to join in this ubiquitous
pact, by which the Father of the
Faithful is bluntly told that while It
was all right for him to pray for
peace and to alleviate the lot of war
prisoners, widows, and orphans, he is
to have no voice in the peace negotia-
tions, for fear democratic justice
might be melted out to the Holy See
against the wishes and interests of
the successors of that robber govern
ment which despoiled the Papacy of
it's temporal possessions.
This Poindexter resolution is the
greatest outrage that has been offered
to American Catholics since the war
began.

The League
Of Nations
Practically a Substitution for Force by
Combined Powers - Collective HUI
man Nature Must Be Universal and
Tower Over cupidity and Selfish
Advantage.
The Boston Pilot editorially says:

The Boston Pilot editorially says:
I'VE have all heard much about the
proposed League Of Nations to pre-
vent future wars and most Of us be-
lieve that some such arrangement
should be made, but comparatively
few have analysed what it would
mean in exact terms and what obliga-
lions it would place on the nations en-
tering such combination.
"Viscount Grey, who was British
foreign minister when Germany de-
clared war in 1914, has embodied his
ideas on the subject in brief paper.
The words of statesman of such abil-
ity and experience command a hear
ing.
Roughly speaking, a league of ma
lions is the substitution of interna-
tional law for force in the settlement
of disputes. 1t applies to states what
has long been in force among indi-
vidual citizens in democratic coun-
tries. AS the man who resorts to force
to obtain what he views as his rights
or privileges finds the combined power
of the community arranged against
him, so any nation appealing to force
would find all the nations arrayed
against her.
ITO be effective, such league must
be practically universal, otherwise, it
would be nothing more than gigan-
tic coalition that would seldom be
proof against cupidity and selfish adj
vantage. Hence the responsible ex.
ecutive heads of governments must
not only agree to the provisions of the
league in the entirety but they and
the people they represent must keep
such agreements.
This brings us to the nub of the
matter. Nations must submit to GER
tain limitations of action, must re-.
frain from taking advantage Of small
er and weaker states. This has been
the difficulty in all international
agreements. When a crisis came I'D
affairs were misrepresented and ma
lions repudiated their solemn oaths.
Hence the league must be so strong
that any nation will fear punishment
more than it will desire national ad.
vantage.
Gin case any nation breaks it's
word, the League Of Nations must use
it's combined economic and military
power to enforce the broken or evad-
ed agreement. 1t seems but a step
from such common sense and mutu-
ally beneficial agreement among
individuals to the same thing among
states, but as corporations were said
to have no souls, so nations often act
as if they had no conscience. It is a
problem in collective human nature
1t is to be hoped that after the car
mage, destruction and terrible cost Of
this conflict just ended the world will
see that war does not pay and that a
league of nations honestly maintained
is an international measure of self
preservation"
