PRINCE AND CATHOLICS
PRINCE OF WALES THE GUEST OF
MANY CATHOLICS.

The Prince of Wales in his recent
visit to Wales was the guest of the
well-known Butte family at Cardiff
Castle, where he visited the beauti-
full private chapel of the Marquis of
Butte He was also entertained by
Lord Treowen, another Catholic, bet
ter known as Sir Ivor Herbert, and
visited the munition works of the
Curran firm, all the directors of which
are Catholic. There he was enter
tanned and presented with beau
tiful illuminated address, the work oi
Catholic artist, and the heir to the
throne seemed to enjoy his surround
ings and associations very much.

THE POPE AND LOURDES
PRIVILEGES EXTENDED TO FA-s
NOUS SHRINE SHOP OF
LoURDEs HAS RIGHT TO WEAR
THE PALLIUM.

A recent number of the "Acta Sane.
tae Sedis" records new privilege
granted to Lourdes for the Goth ami
versary of the Apparition. 1t is an
item added to long list of conces-
sions made by the Popes to the spot
chosen by our Lady to be fountain
of life in, her honor. Plus TX enriched
the Basilica, which the piety of the
faithful erected there, with indul-
gences, the privilege of an Archcon-
fraternity, and raised it to the dignity
of minor Basilica He also caused
the image of the Blessed Virgin yen-
Grated there to be solemnly crowned
by his legate. On the 25th anniver-
sary of the Apparition Pope Leo XIII
granted Indulgences in the form of a
Jubilee, urged the faithful to make
pilgrimages to the shrine, and had
the Church of the Rosary solemnly
dedicated in his name; then, to
crown his generosity towards Lourdes,
he gave the Feast of the Apparition
a proper Office and Mass. Plus X con-
tinued his work. by extending the
Feast to the universal Church.
Now Pope Benedict wishes to vie
with his predecessor in his devotion to
the Immaculate Virgin of Lourdes. In
1913, while he was Archbishop of Bo-
logna, his Holiness visited Lourdes as
a pilgrim. He makes mention of his
visit in the letter which grants Lour-
des the new privilege of the Pallium
for it's Bishop. The Pallium is granted
to Bishops only by special privilege,
and most frequently is an honor to
the church ruled by the Bishop. Car
dinal Annette and Mgr. Schoepher, the
present Bishop Of Tarbes and Lourdes,
asked it of the Pope, and he has
deigned to grant their request. In fu-
ture the present Bishop and his sue
cessors shall have the right of wear
ing the Pallium received from Rome
in all ecclesiastical functions held in
the Basilica of Lourdes.

DUELLING In GERMANY
CATHOLIC EFFORT TO BANlsH
CUSTOM. ~

A determined effort is being made
by German Catholics to suppress duel
ling in the army and navy Of Ger
many. The Emperor Karl has already
forbidden it to Austrian officers and
men. The ''Germania," organ Of the
Centrum, applauds this action Of the
Catholic Sovereigns and calls on the
powers of Germany to initiate it, point
ing out that the Church has always
sternly set her face against the prac-
tice which has grown so much since
Professionalism came to the fore, and
which is now resorted to on the most
trivial preteXts.

JERUSALEM AND THE TURKS

Franciscan Fathers have had an I'M
broken succession in the Holy City,
where, while guarding the Holy Sepul-
chre and Calvary, they have preserved
the early tradition regarding the au-
thenticity of these sites. And in late
years Catholics and Protestants have
made researches to find in monuments
buried beneath the soil corroboration
of the traditions, or evidences bearing
testimony to Biblical narratives.
There was much intellectual activity
in Jerusalem. There were great
scholars there, devoting their lives to
Biblical studies, as st. Jerome had
done at Bethlehem in the fifth CEN
tury. In the lecture rooms of the
Biblical School of st. Stephen, founded
in 1891 by the French Dominicans at
the wish of Pope Leo XIII, audiences
made of Catholics and non-Catholics
listened to that great Biblical scholar,
Pere Lagrange, as he interpreted the
Old and New Testaments or lectured
on the religions of the Orient. There
Pere Jaussin, now an interpreter with
the French and British forces in the .
Orient, lectured on the dialects and
customs of the Arabs, among whom he
had lived in the desert
Noted Scholars. ..
There, too, Pere Vincent whose
monumental work on Jerusalem re-
ceived the appreciation of the French
Academy of Sciences, lectured on the
topography of Palestine and it's an
cient monuments. BY his side was
Pere Dhorme, the famous Assyriolo-
gist, who, while serving with the
French forces, at Gallipoli, directed ex-
cavations which brought to light Greek
statues of great value.
Nor was the lecture platform of st.
Stephens restricted to Dominicans.
Other scholars also appeared upon it,
among them Franciscans, White
Fathers, Fathers of the Assumption,
and others engaged in the work of the
Palestine exploration fund. And so
successful did st. Stephens become
that others undertook to establish sim
liar institutions in Jerusalem, one of
which had the support of the scholars
of the American universities.
The Future Jerusalem.
Such were some of the conditions
existing in Jerusalem when the war
broke out. Since then there have been
no pilgrims to its sanctuaries, and re-
ligions observances have been neg
lected All intellectual activity has
ceased, for the scholars belonging to
the allied countries were forced to
leave and others went away of their
choice. When they return they will
find their Libraries intact, to the credit
of their enemies, be it said, and un-
der an enlightened Government they
will be able to pursue their studies with
greater liberty and success. And they
who visit the scene of the Saviour's
ministry, sufferings, death and resur-
rection will find Christians standing
guard, and will see nothing that will
cause the disappointments of the past,
but rather streets and market places
and courts filled with clean and
happy people, that will bring to their
lips the words of David: IF forget
thee, O. Jerusalem, let my right hand
be forgotten"

NEW CHAPLAINS

Rev. Fathers ". NJ. Egas of San
Antonio, Texas; E. Marshof New York
City; and Gisleen Halterman of Santa
Cruz, New Mexico, have gone to
Europe as knights of Columbus aux
iliary chaplains. These priests will
join the seven knights of Columbus
chaplains, who are now working in
France, and it is probable that they
will be assigned to regimental units
by General Pershing. They will estab.
lish Knights Of. Columbus recreation
buildings in those camps, in which
they are located.

A ROYAL JUBILEE
KING AND QUEEN OF BAVARIA
CELEBRATE GOLDEN WEDDING.

&
The King and Queen of Bavaria
have just celebrated their golden we'd
ding, and marked the occasion by at
tending a Solemn High Mass at the
Fruenkirche of Munich, the beautiful
rose colored Cathedral dedicated to
Our Lady, and by giving a sum of
money to the poor of the city. They
were the recipients of many congratu-
lations from the Catholic soyereigns
of Europe, including the King of
Spain, the Emperor of Austria and the
Pope. His Holiness sent a special
blessing by Mgr. Pacelli, the Papal
Nuncio at Munich, accompanied by a
magnificent gift, and Mgr. Pacelli
rendered the congratulations of the
diplomatic corps attached to the
BaVarian Court.

Ayiators Avoid Rome

The Austrian aviators who recently
raided and bombed Naples, returned
passing near Rome but dropped no
bombs. In Rome, the residents re-
mained indoors, and all lights were
extinguished. 1t is believed that the
presence of the Holy Father saved
Rome from attack. The lights of the
Vatican, and in particular of the Papal
apartments, were not extinguished.

EFFECTS OF TURKISH MIsRuLE-
HOLY SEPULcHRE AND CAL
VARY-FRANcIscANs AS GUAR
DIANs-BlBLlcAL STUDIES.

What was the state of things in the
Holy City under Turkish domination
when the war broke out, the Very Rev.
A. L. Mcmahon, Provincial in San
Francisco of the Dominican Order,
who studied in the Holy Land, has
been telling readers of the San Fran
cisco Chronicle" He says that the
evidences of seven centuries of Turk
ish misrule, which they beheld on
every hand as they approached the
city through poorly cultivated valleys,
oveFshadowed by denuded hills, failed
generally to prepare them for what
they were to behold-a city sur
rounded by old walls, within which
small houses and dingy shops, built of
masonry, stand close together along
unclean and ill-smelling narrow
streets, through which swarm pilgrims
of every nation, but chiefly unkempt
Russians, tradesmen, peasants, Bedou-
ms, and beggars, making their way in
and out among dogs, donkeys, horses,
and camels. Ard when they went to
visit the place where the great Temple
of Solomon once stood and then the
glorious Temple of Herod, now the
Mosque of Omar, they found the en-
closure guarded by Mussulmans, who,
upon payment, permitted them to en-
ter and look upon the Hebrew altar
of sacrifice. They told fanciful tales
about it to the listener, who had en-
tered in spirit of veneration.
Greater was the disappointment
when visitors went to the Holy Sepul-
chre and Calvary. There at the very
entrance they found Turkish soldiers
standing guard. They sensed the dis
cord that existed between the Latins
and the Orthodox Greeks, who alone
were permitted by the Turks to con-
duct services there. and upon Calvary,
while Copts, Armenians, and others
less favored could but look on with
jealous eyes. And SO they found it
difficult or impossible to satisfy their
devotion, and perhaps being disap-
pointed, if not scandalized, by what
they saw and heard, they did not wait
to look below the surface of things,
but hurriedly left the city they had
travelled far to see.

Cosmopolitan Inhabitants.

The visitor who was broad of mind
and remained long enough in Jerusa-
lem to accustom himself to the Orien-
tai temperament, made allowances for
much that was unpleasant. If he was
of philosophical mind he studied
with interest the evidences of religion
as manifested by people brought to-
gether from all parts of the world.
Besides Jews, who wept over the ruins
of the temple, and Mohammedans, he
beheld Latin Catholics, Orthodox and
Uniate Greeks, Uniate Melchites, Ar
menians, Maronites and Syrians,
Gregorian Armenians, Jacobite Syri-
ans, Copts, Abyssinians, Russians,
English, German, and French Protes-
tants of all sects, all bearing testimony
to a common belief in the founder of
the Christian religion.

The bold Jarls and their Viking fol-
lowers refused, many of them, to re-
main at home in submission to this
new feudal lord. To such as these
the open sea was not a barrier so
much as highway.
During the following half century
thousands of them struck out to all
points of the compass. Within two
years a settlement was founded on
the coasts of Iceland Marvellous to
relate, the population there soon ex-
ceeded $4,000 souls. (Fiske.)
Shortly after the founding of this
settlement, foul weather drove a cer-
