Washington's Solemn
Warning
WORDS UTTERED BY THE FA-
Their OF OUR COUNTRY MAY
BE APPLIED AT ALL TIMES.

cit is important that the habits of
thinking, in a free country, should
inspire caution in those intruSted with
it's administration, to cOntine them,
selves within their respective consti-
tutional spheres, avoiding, in the exer-
else of the powers of one department,
to encroach upon another. The spirit
of encrOachment' tends to consolidate
the powers of all the departments in
one, and thus to create, whatever the
form of government, real despotism.
A just estimate of that love of power,
and proneness to abuse it which pre-
dominates in the human heart, is suf-
ficient to satisfy us of the truth of
this position. The necessity Of recip-
rocal checks in the exercise of political
power, by dividing and distributing it
into different repositories, and consti-
tuting each the guardian of the public
veal, against invasions by the others,
cient and modern; some of them in
our own country, and under our own
eyes. To preserve them must be as
necessary as to institute them. If, in
the opinion of the people, the distribu-
ton or modification of the constitu-
tional powers be, in any particular,
wrong, let it be corrected by an amend
ment in the way which the constitu-
ton designates. But let there be no
change by usurpation; for though
this, in one instance, may be the in
strument of good, it is the customary
weapon by which free governments
are destroyed. The precedent must al
ways greatly overbalance, in perma-
nent evil any partial or transient ben
eft which the use can, at any time,
yield.

ward all nations; cultivate peace and

the sanitary and fighting corps of the
French army. AS writer in a New
York contemporary well says, Catho-
lies should take pride in the fact that
the association of Red Cross nurses
which the United States government
is endorsing SO highly and to which
we are all contributing so unsparing-
ly, was anticipated by a Roman sol
der 800 years before Jean Henri
Dunant, the Swiss humanitarian, sue
ceeded in getting an international
conference to adopt the idea in 1854.
The United States government did not
come into it until 1882
Branches Of the "Ministri degli In
fermi Ministers of the Sick'-as
the order of Red Cross nurses found
ed by the Hospital Saint" as Camil-
lus de Lellis has aptly been called by
his latest biographer, is termed in
Italy, now exist in France, Spain,
Germany, Austria, Ireland, Holland,
Denmark, and Peru. The Magdalen,
Rome, where st. Camillus labored
and died, is still the home of the head
of the order, Very Rev. Father Vido.
Over it's door floats the banner of the
Red Cross. There are hundreds of
nuns who are also under his jurisdic-
ton, indirectly, and who are also
ministering to the needs of the
wounded and the sick. Both the nurs-
ing priests and nuns are actively en-
gagged in the Hospital of st. John
Lateran, Rome; and in the hospitals
in Verona, Mantua, Cremona, Ire
viso, and Naples, all of which are
filled with wounded soldiers.
In Germany they have 1--WE hospitals,
the most famous one being the great
sanatorium for alcoholic patients,
which was the first of it's kind opened
by Catholics anywhere in the world.
In Holland they have a large clinic.
In Ireland they have hospital; in
Denmark another; in Peru three hos
pitfalls, and in Austria ten hospitals
overfiowing with suffering people.
They have served in all the wars
since 1901, and several times in their
history the wearers of the Red Cross
of st. CamiIlus have been nigh eX-
terminated in the plaques through
which they served and which carried
off so many of their numbers.

Education in Copenhagen
INTERESTING ME- obs USED
ABRoAD-SERloUS ASPECT OF
EDUCATIONAL PROBLEMS.

A writer in the Nineteenth Cen
fury" gives some facts about school
attendance in Copenhagen that make
interesting neutrality-suspicious. for
teachers whose work is seriously re-
tarded by careless parents.
Il asked the School Director in
Copenhagen, one day, what percentage
of the children there succeed in evad-
ing the Education Law" says this
| writer. "He looked at me in surprise.
1t had never occurred to- him, seem
ingly, that children could be so per-
verse as even to try to evade this
law"
Then he replied
with one exception every child in
this city, who is physically and men
Stilly in state to be educated, is be-
ing educated. With one exception
every such child-who is not being
taught at home-is this morning at
school,
The one exception was the little
daughter of willy strolling player.
The Century contributor continues:
THAT was years ago and since then
{ have been in Denmark again and
again, and although every time I go
seek diligently, I have never yet
found a boy or girl, who ought to
have been in school, in the streets of
Copenhagen during school hours. No
mother ever dreams there of keeping
her child at home to do her shopping
for her, or to aind the baby; for she
knows that il she did, dire punish
ment would speedily overtake her.
She would in turn, be warned, threat
ened, fined, and if she did not change
her ways, she would be imprisoned
She knows, too, that her own friends
and neighbors would all be against
her in this matter; that they would
denounce her from the very house
tops, as a bad mother, one who was
willing to sacrifice the welfare of her
children to her own convenience"
Thus even parents who would slip
up on their duty, if permitted, are
obliged to see that their child enters
school at the age of seven and con-
tinues in attendance until the COM
pletion of his or her fourteenth year.
The result of this insistence is mani
fest in the progress made by me
pupils year after year.

Origin Of the Red Cross
WORK OF CATHOLIC RED CROSS
NURSES IN THIS WAE-BRANCH-
ES OF THE ORDER IN MANY
COUNTRIES NOW.

st. Camillus de Le1lis, nearly $50
years ago, founded the order Of Red
Cross Nurses. 1t is also a fact
which seems to be little known in the
United States-that these Catholic
Red Cross nurses are doing splendid
work in France, Austria, Germany, and
italy in the present war. In Germany
and Austria they are officially recog-
nized as THE Red Cross of st. Ca
millus.' In Germany several camp
hospitals behind the trenches are con-
fided to their care. One hospital train
in their charge is. presided over by
twenty-five Of their nurses. In Austria
they are also close to the battle-line,
serving in the sanitary corps and on
the hospital trains and in hospi Ills
of the Knights of Malta. In Italy
large numbers have been called to
service in the regular sanitary corps
Of the army and the Red Cross Sis
tiers of ST. Camillus are working as
an organization under the army medi-
cal authorities in the hospitals and
camps.
Under the present infdel French
government the Red Cross of st. Ca
millus has no legal existence, but it's

ages.
The st. Anthony center and the
Holy Rosary center began work late
in January, but the results will be in
corporated in the report for Febru-
airy. Reports also for the Holy Name
center and st. Helena's center will
appear for the month of February.
The gauze work reported by the Pro-
Cathedral and the st. Thomas centers
shows how splendidly the workers of
those units have profited by the eX-
perience afforded them during the
earlier months of their organized Ia
bors. Several of the newer units
have engaged to take up the gauze
work, and their reports for February
will undoubtedly show to correspond
ing advantage.
First honors for the month are
easily carried off by the Pro-Cathe-
dral center, which made all told A.
GOA pieces. Second in the number of
pieces produced, is st. Thomas parish
organization, reporting gauze work
and having to it's credit a total of
2,344 pieces.
The report is a revelation of what
can be done by thorough organiza-
tion, when large numbers under cap
able generalship unite in friendly
rivalry for worthy cause. And yet
the results so far represent only a
beginning for most of the parish or
CARNATIONS. The lack of experience
in many of the workers, the difficulty
of co-ordinating the work in each par
ish center, the delays in securing ma
ter1al in sufficient quantities and with
the promptness necessary to keep
the jealous women busy-these are
only some of the difficulties incident
to any new plan of organization.
With these drawbacks removed and
the working capacity of the women
we'll gagged by the officers of each
unit, the quantity as we'll as the quail
ity of the Catholic Re-, Cross of Min
neapolis will undoubtedly demon
strate in each succeeding month the
wisdom and the effectiveness Of the
present plan of organization.

THE FRENCH PROTECTORATE

the East, of both sexes, are obliged by
formal order from the Holy See
to claim protection, in case of need,
from the representative of France
and of France alone, without apply
ing to the representatives of other
nations, including the representatives
of their own nation, although these
retain the right of protection on the
same grounds as France. 1t is I'M
necessary to trace here the origin Of
this papal law, but it is evident that
without that law France would no
doubt protect, in virtue of capitula-
tons and the right of peoples, her
own subjects, but not others, for
these would claim protection from
the representatives of their own ma
ton rather than turn to those of
France.
That is why it is rightly said that
the capitulations give to France (as
to many other nations) the right of
protecting Catholics of other nations,
but that it is the Holy See which
has assigned to her the subjects of
her protection; in other words, it is
the Holy See which has constituted
her, in preference to every other ma
ton, the protectress of Catholics in
the East.
60 Prerogatives. Some special
honors or privileges are reserved in
the same places almost exclusively to
the representatives of France, con
sidered as protectress of the CathO-
lie Church-honors and privileges
exercising protection, as the aces
sorry is to principal, and suffer in con-
sequence the vicissitudes of that right
These prerogatives of honor are, as
we know, of two kinds: The one kind
a positive and written act; the others
have been introduced gradually by a
custom tolerated or tactily approved
by the Holy See.
| 1t is hardly necessary to draw at
| tention to the fact that the said pre-
negatives have no relation whatever
with the capitulations and interna
tional treaties drawn up between the
different powers and the Porte. They
belong to the representatives OF
France simply through the action oil
the Holy See which wished, in grant
| ing them, to recognize and reward the
protection of France and to enhance
also in the eyes of the population OF
the East the dignity of the nation pro
tecting the Church.

necessary to close down on $the knit
ting department until wool can be
procured more favorably.
The work done in the sewing room by
the different parishes is hereby sub
mitted. Unmeasured praise is due the
loyal workers of two parishes that lead
in the list, and praise to all the others
who helped to send for January such
an important offering from the Cath
Ollie branch to the st. Paul Chapter
of the Red Cross.

the respective parishes during the
past month:

there were SIT knitted articles.
The st. Paul Chapter of the Red
Cross intends to open new branches
locally. The Catholic branch so far
has had wonderful success, owing
both to Jealous work of the members
as well as to disinterested and con-
slant supervision of the directors. 1t
is to be hoped that for the honor of
the Catholic branch, the women who
have thus far worked at the Catholic
headquarters will continue to remain
faithful to this center. In this way
the efforts of the Catholic unit, and
of the various parishes, will later on
appear at their full value on the Red
Cross records.

dering them to watch closely any

outrages are the various projects of

democratize the army, the industry

religious liberty and respect for all
beliefs. But we are not told how Pala-

the magnanimous and too novel exam

exalted justice and benevolence. Who
can doubt that, in the course of times
and things, the fruits of such plan
would richly repay any temporary adj
vantages which might be lost by a
steady adherence to it? Can it be that
Providence has not connected the per-

ToLIC LEGATE.

Since the United States entered the
present war, there have been mum
Der of inquiries about whether it is
proper to have United States flag in
church during Divine services. Some
critics have gone SO far as to say that
priests were oyerstepping their au.
thority in floating the banner, arguing
that church ought to be an interna-
tfonal place as religion knows no ma
tlonal lines. Stanch Americans and a
few whose Americanism is not sc
stanch made these remarks, observes
the Denver Catholic Register.

What is the blue scapuIar?

The Venerable Ursula Benicasa,
foundress of the Order of Theatine
Nuns, relates that the habit which she
and her Sisters were to wear in hon
or of the Immaculate Conception was
revealed to her in vision She beg
ged of God that many graces might
be granted all the faithful who would
devoutly wear small blue scapular
in honor of the Immaculate Concep-
ton and to secure the conversion of
sinners. She herself disseminated
such scapulars, after they had been
