NO WONDER HE'S SMART.

To the non-Catholic in the army
the Importance of the Catholic chap
lain is mystery. He dresses in khaki
like the rest of the officers, but gets
much more outward respect and ap-
probation from the men. A curious
non Catholic soldier, anxious to under.
stand the mystery, approached an
Irish soldier and said: "Is it true that
the Catholic priest is very smart
man, Mike?' "You bet he u.s." said
Mike, smiling. "Why shouldn't he be!
Doesn't he study at school and col
leges all his life; then doesn't Ihe go
to seminary to study for four years
longer, and then when he is ordained
a priest, don't we Catholics tell him
all we know" mo wonder he is so
smart" said the questioner, as he
walked away, smiling.

MISSIONARY FIELDS GET TEN
MORE NUNS.

Ten nuns, Franciscan Missionaries
of Mary from Quebec, Canada, will
sail probably this week from San
Francisco, Calf, for the Orient to en-
gage in missionary work. Some are
bound for China, some for India, and
several for Japan.
These sisters, whose motherhouse
is in Rome, have .thirty-five houses in
China, including institutions for lep'
ers, where healthy nuns risk their
lives in order to serve those afflict-
ed with the most horrible disease
known to humanity. The entire order
consists of 5000 sisters and has $50
houses, although it has been founded
only about twenty-five years. There
are six houses in America and six in
Canada.

CHANGED CONDITION IN pEN-
MARK SINCE GRANTING RE.
LlGIoUS FREEDOM.

The growth of Catholicism in Den.
mark is slow but very steady-Dr
Maurice Francis Egan, ex-American
minister at Copenhagen told an au.
dience at the Catholic Club of New
York in a lecture a month ago. Prior
to the middle Of the nineteenth cen
fury there was scarcely any Catholics
at all in the country but with the es-
Enlistment at that time of religious
freedom converts began to flow in
until now the Catholics number
10000. Nearly all are converts and
as DR.. Egan pointed out, they are
drawn mainly from the two extremes
of the population-the higher social
group and the intellectuals on the one
hand and the poor people on the other.
This is the form the conversion move
ment has always assumed in England.
In Denmark as in England the middle
class has scarcely been touched. It
is to be said however that it is among
this same middle class in both coun.
tries that the decline in Professionalism
has been most marked.

MARYMoUNT GETS LAND VALUED
AT $175,O00.

The trustees and faculty of Mary
mount school, Tarrytown-on-Hudson,
N. Y, the religious Of the Sacred
Heart of Mary, have been so encour-
aged by the marked success Of their
educational system that they have de-
cided to develop still further in a col
lege course the distinctive methods
which have characterized their prin-
ciples of teaching.
Mr.. James Butler, to whom Mary
mount owes her existence, had made
this possible by the additional gift of
an adjoining property on the Castle
Ridge section of Tarrytown, compris-
ing three buildings and more than
twenty acres, costing $175,000. The
superb location, luxurious structures
and artistic grounds, with fine old
trees and Italian gardens, impart to
the new college distinction peculiar
ly it's own.

JULY INTENTION OF SACRED
HEART LEAGUE.

The intention for the prayers of the
members of the League of the Sacred
Heart, for July, as recommended by
his Holiness, Pope Benedict XIV, is,
Concord Between Workers and EN-
ployers."
In this intention our Holy Father,
Pope Benedict XIV, brings forward a
question that the Church has much
at heart, the solution Of existing diff
culties between employers and dis
honesty and unjust demands on the
part Of the workers, are the most fire.
quent causes of labor trouble.
The interests of the employer and
the worker are identical, and, if they
do not work in harmony, both must
suffer. Avarice on the part of en-
ployers and dishonesty and unjust
demands on the part of the workers
are the most frequent causes of labor
trouble.
The solution of the labor question
by perfect concord between the en-
ployer and the worker can only come
when each understands clearly that
their mutual relations must be found
ed on justice and charity. There are
obligations on the part Of each, and
it is for more perfect fulfilling of
these obligations that we are request
ed to pray.
The employer must realize that his
workers are his brothers, because we
are all children of God; that wealth
is intended by God not merely for
our own private pleasures, but for
the good of others. 1t is a sin OF
injustice not to pay a fair wage, suft1-
cient for the worker to support and
educate his family in true Christian
spirit. Unfair wages, the sweat-shop,
and unreasonable hours are unjust.
The worker must understand that
Injustice and charity demand honest
dealings with the employer. An hon
est return of work must be given for
wages received. Unjust demands
must not be made and violence must
| not be used.

A NEW ASSOCIATION.

Archbishop-elect Dougherty, of
Philadelphia, has heartily approved Of
the project of forming an association
of Catholic ladies who minister to the

are eligible for membership, and it is
expected that many, if not all, will
become members. The association is

GENERALIssIMo FocH, THE MAN
OF THE HOUR.

True greatness, it has been said, is
only brought out by a great crisis.
The man of talent and genius often
lies hidden and obscure while lesser
men have their day, but let great
danger threaten, let an extraordinary
peril put the very existence Of a ma
ton in jeopardy, then charlatans re-
firing in meek and chastened silence
leave the master mind clear field for
action. In no case is this truth veri-
fled more completely than in that Of
General Ferdinand Foch, the COM
mander-in-chief of all allied forces on
the western front. Known before the
fall of 1914 only in army circles as the
director of the school of war, as a
shrewd tactician, he leaped, almost
in a single hour into public fame as
the leading figure in the most decisive
battle of the present war, the battle
of the Marine.
General Foch was born at Tarbes
on August 4, 1851. His father was a
secretary general of the prefecture
and had three sons, one of whom is a
Jesuit, the other a lawyer at Tarbes,
while the third Of whom we speak,
has just been elevated to the highest
rank possible in the allied forces.
At the Jesuit College of st. Etienne,
young Foch was noted for his love Of
study and exemplary conduct. There
he acquired that same precision and
method that has since made him
famous. He was, as one of his early
masters said, made for the Poly
technique" the great school for
mathematician and strategists. But
with his mathematical talents he COM
bined love for literary studies that
was almost a passion. History es-
pecially appealed to him and he early
learned to carry himself in magma
ton to the ancient battleields, whose
glorious traditions he was so capable
to uphold. In 1873, after his first year
at Polytechnique, he received com
mission as sub-lieutenant and from
then on he made his way by slow
stages till in 1907 he was made briga.
der, commander of artillery in the
Fifth army corps, and director of the
Ecole de Guerre. In 1911 he was
made general of a division, and in
1912 he was sent to Cambridge to the
British manoeuvres as head of the
French military mission; when the
war broke out he was in command OF
the Twentieth corps at Nancy.

Exposure Of Young Animals to Severe

The exposure Of young horses to

this sort Of treatment with less loss
II is doubtless true that animals be-
come accustomed to winter weather,

men of the country have over

thing, birds Matched later in the

thus an Improbable circle is
formed. Each year pullets ma
ture too late to produce IN the
fall and winter, and they sit too
late for their offspring to do any
better. The poultryman who
wishes to get really good returns
from his flock must break this
circle.

CARING FOR FEET OF SHEEP
Neglect often Brings Troubles Later
On-PractIcal Plan Outlined for
Needed Attention.

Neglect Of the feet often brings
sheeI troubles later on. Uncared-for
feet are favorable breeding grounds
for foot rot and crooked pasterns.
Try this plan: Turn the sheep out in
pasture while the grass is wet. This
will clean the feet and soften the
hoof. After a few hours pen the
sheep, take a hoof clipper or pruning
knife and remove the surplus hoof
or crooked portions. Trim so that the
horn is on level with the sole Of the
foot. II pairing is necessary more on
one side than the other In order to
balance the foot, do this. Aim to
have a level foot when the sheep
stands on the ground.
