Sisters in Public Schools
NUNS RESIGN WoRK-OFFIciALS S
DESIRE THEIR RETURN.

After teaching the Conejos, Colo,
public school for forty-two terms, the
Sisters of Loretto have decided to give
it up. The movement is voluntary on
their part. The public school officials
expressed the deepest regret at losing
them and the citizens of the town con-
slider it as little short of a calamity.
Coneios is a Catholic town. This ex-
plains why it was possible to have a
public school taught by Sisters wear
ing their religious garb. The Canejos
public school was the only one in
Colorado taught by Sisters.
The school has been surrendered by
the Sisters because of the unsanitary
conditions of the convent. This build
ing is owned by the Lorettines them
selves, but they decided that they
could not build another home at pres
ent. There is already talk of bringing
the order back to the town and open
ing a parochial school in 1919.

FRANCE ASKED TO PRAY
CLEMENCEAU LAUDS IDEA, BUT
GOVERNMENT CANNOT
PARTICIPATE.

In answer to a letter from Cardinal
Lucon, Archbishop of Rheims, who
wrote to President Poncaire, asking
that official public prayers for France
be said, Premier Clemenceau points
out that all citizens of France are
free to assemble in the churches for
the ceremonies the Cardinal desires,
but that the law prohibits official par
ticipation by the Government in re-
ligiods ceremonies.
M. Clemenceau adds that he appre-
ciates the nobleness of the sentiment
which inspired the request of the Car
dinal, and says that the sympathies OF
the Government and of all French
people are entirely with those persons
who make an effort to contribute by
prayers or acts to the triumph OF ou1
great fatherland.'

TITLE, KNIGHT OF ST. GREGORY,
CONFERRED BY ROME TWO
CATHOLIC LAYMEN OF ST. PAUL
AND MINNEAPOLIS EACH RE-
cEIVE GREAT DISTINCTION.

News has just been received that
| the Holy See has been pleased to
reach out as far as st. Paul and Min
neapolis, and to confer signal honors
upon four Catholic gentlemen who
have distinguished themselves in all
the great works of religion for many
years.
On Saturday, July 13, the Most Rev.
erend Archbishop received a cable
gram from the Papar Secretary of
State announcing that the title of
Knight of st. Gregory had been con-
ferred upon the following gentlemen:
Mr.. Timothy Foley, 545 Summit
avenue, st. Paul; Mr.. Charles H. F.
Smith, 339 Summit avenue, st. Paul;
Mr.. L. S. Donaldson, 1912 Mount
Curve, Minneapolis; and Mr.. Morris
Mcdonald, 2200 Blaisdell avenue,
Minneapolis.
1t is not unusual for the Holy
Father to bestow hOnors upon worthy
men throughout the world. 1t is most
unusual, however, to have such an
honor conferred upon four worthy
members in the same diocese at the
same time. Both the Church and
citizens in general, not only in the
Twin Cities, but throughout the whole
Archdiocese, will appreciate the dis
tinctive recognition which Rome has
seen fit to accord these gentlemen
1t is matter of public knowledge
that each of the above gentlemen has
for many years been prominent in
every great work affecting the welfare
of both Church and State in the
Northwest. No movement or enter
prise tending to the betterment of
religion or of citizenship in this part
of the country but has felt the bene-
ffcial effect of their influence, support
and assistance. The cause of relig-
ion and of education has ever found
them not only prompt and generous
in their response, but at the same
time enthusiastic and jealous in pro-
noting these two great moral factors
to the utmost of their ability.
The dignity of Knight of st. Gregory
is one Of the most highly priced in the
whole list Of Papal distinctions and
| honors. 1t stands for the worldwide
| charity which distinguished it's patron,
st. Gregory the Great, one of the
noblest saints and Pontiffs in the
whole history of the Catholic Church.
1t typifies staunch zeal and unfiagging
| interest in the great works of Cath
| olic faith. The honors freshly re-
ceived from Rome by these gentle
men are a source of legitimate pride
for their co-religionists and fellow
| citizens.
A description of the nature, mean.
ing and origin of the Knighthood OF
st. Gregory, together with other Papal
Orders, will be found in another
article on this page.
A brief biographical sketch of each
of the new Knights is herewith sub
mitted.

THE BIG FOUR
THE SECRET TREATY EXcLUD-
ING THE POPE FROM THE
PEACE CONFERENCE STANDS

In the House of Lords, on Thurs
day, Lord Braye asked an explanation
from the Government for their treat
ment of the Pope and his peace note,
and whether it was proposed to delete
the obnoxious clause in the secret
treaty between England, France and
Italy, now that Russia was out of the
reckoning. Lord Braye is the Irish
peer who recently disassociated him
self from the resolutions passed by
the Catholic Union against the action
of the Irish Bishops on conscription.
Lord Selborne, who answered for
the Government, was at great pains to
demonstrate to his own satisfaction
that no discourtesy towards the Pope
was intended. He said the Govern
ment acknowledged the Papal Peace
note at once, and paid tribute to the
high ideals which inspired it, Then
came President Wilson's answer. The
British Government associated itself
with that answer and did not think
any further reply was necessary.
With regard to the treaty, he said
that no neutral sovereign would be
allowed at the Peace conference
without the consent of all the belIig-
erents; that the clause excluding the
Pope, if Italy so wished, was as
binding as any other part of the
treaty, and, therefore, remained in
fOron and hn held nlt M DrnCnact of
its repeal.
