FATHER M'GIVNEY
GOING TO FRANCE

Rev. Patrick ]. Mckinney, supreme
chaplain of the Knights of Columbus,
and w. ]. Mulligan, of Thomsonville,
supreme director, will leave some
time this week for visit to France
where they will make an inspection of
work being done by the Knights of
Columbus in the training camps and
near the front for the soldiers of the
United States. On their return they
will make report to the supreme
board of directors of the order.
Father McGivney said this morning
he expected to leave in day or two,
but could not give the exact date of
! his sailing. He said the visit will be
an inspection trip, but in addition
they will recommend to those in
charge of the work IN France what
ever changes may seem necessary, will
assist in the installing Of new activi-
| ties, and generally look after the
welfare of the Catholic soldiers OF
! Uncle Sam. The trip will extend over
period of several weeks.

Now an Exile in Great Brittany
for granted that they do not occasion
the slightest anxiety to the rulers of
Germany.
Such, I avow, is the real state of
German organized democracy today!
But let us assume that the Social
list Utopia has been reached. We will
imagine that the Allied and German
governments have granted passports
for Stockholm Git is probable that
even Liebknecht would be released
for such a 1nfssion), and the combin-
ed rhetorical talent of Comrades Mac
donald, Snowden and Webb &C., has
succeeded to such an extent that the
breach in the German Socialist party
has been closed UP, the Allied peace
terms have been unanimously agreed,
and the German representatives have
pledged themselves to an attempt to
force their acceptance upon the junk
ers. The Inter-Allied Congress can
hardly envisage a more favorable out
come than this.
''What would be the effect of this
alleged panacea for all the ills of In
ternational relations? The situation
would remain precisely as it is today.
The combined influence of the Ger
man Socialists would trouble the Ger
man rulers to much the same extent
as swarm of mosquitoes would stay
the flight of IL inch shell. In the
first week of the war the German
government called upon the people to
hand over all weapons to it's care.
Loyal German Socialists induced the
masses to obey! do not suggest that
the contrary course would have occa-
stoned the government any loss of
sleep, for any repressive measures
necessary would not have entailed the
employment of single German SOL
der. The brutal armed police would
be safely entrusted with the delicate
mission.
eff British Labor leaders would
only take the trouble to acquaint
themselves with the rudimental his
tory of German Socialism they would
be convinced that no assistance need
be awaited from that quarter.
Gas an old German Socialist, I
would say to my English comrades
that our democratic ideals can only
be achieved after the defeat of Ger
many upon the battlefield. We cannot
rid ourselves Of the originators of this
war by 'conciIiation.' 1t is true that
the people of every belligerent nation
are ready for peace; but the barri-
cades erected by the Hohenzo1lerns
and Hapsburgs must be swept aside
before that ha1ycon day can dawn"
Thus spoke a disciple, of Karl Marx,
a friend of Bernstein, and one who,
1--we may assume, knows his book.

"a Pioneer German SOclal1St, VINO Is
''The growing tendency Of British
labor to force the hands of the gov
eminent in certain regards contains
an element of danger, against which
a warning is necessary. Like some Of
the equally honest leaders of German
Socialism, they under-rate the des-
tructive tendencies of the German
rulers. They fail to realize the depths
of infamy to which the ruling classes
of Germany have sunk-and in this
category I place, not only the Junk
ers, but also the great industrial mag
mates. Having extracted from the
Prime Minister a statement of Allied
war aims, the British Labor-SocialistS
proceed to ventilate again their grew
ances and to divert the attention of
the masses from the main issue, by
insisting that by meeting German Or
ganized democracy at an Information
al Labor Congress they could second
the military operations and thus shor-
ten the war.
German Organized Democracy"
'What do they mean by German
organized democracy If they have
in mind the Majority Socialists, I can
assure them that they might as we'll
try to persuade the Emperor to abdi-
cate as to induce Messrs. Scheide-
mann, David, Ebert, and the other
trade union leaders of the Reichstag
to accept the peace terms laid down
by Mr.. Lloyd George. AS to the bour-
geois organized democracy even the
German Socialists have often COM
planned, with much bitterness, that
since 1870 it has ceased to exist
There remains, then, the group OF
Minority Socialists. The leaders OF
this party are: Liebknecht, Mehring
Bernstein, Haase, Kautsky, and Lebe-
bour. 1 am not lacking in admiration
| Of the personal courage of Lieb-
knecht, but it must be remembered
that even he regarded the war as q
! capitalists war which was his uni
que reason for voting against it
tBernstein and Haase not only voted
flor the war credit, but Haase actual

NOUS Party Declaration, on thai
memorable sitting of the Reichstas
on August 4, 1914. The only Minor
ity Socialists who appear to posses:
a. clear conception of the issues of the
war are Mehring, Lebebour, and
Kautsky. Mehring is a member of tbs
Prussian Diet, and Lebebour sits II
the Reichstag; but Kautsky has NJ
mandate, since he is an Austrian.

masses behind? Most of them are I'm
