NHURCHEs and Christian societies
\ have been quick to order the new
church flag. This flag has been Sc
Iected By the joint action Of the gov
eminent. the Protestant and the Cath
ole church authorities. and is the first
official emblem Of its kind It is the
one thing that may be legally placed
above the American flag, and that
during religious services in church, on
board ship. at cantonment or army
post. Il is stated that flags provided
at this time may be retained after the
war and used as a flag OF worship and
service wherever it is deemed appro-
pirate by the churches
The flag in question is triangular
white pennant with a blue Latin cross
placed horizontally IN the center. a
good size for outdoor use is three feet
by eight feet six inches. The pennant
is three times as long as il is wide
The long bar of the cross is the same
as the width OF the peunant- and the
short bar oue-half the length Of the
long one. The other form OF the flag
is a blue Latin cross on a white rec
tangular ground. the latter being one
a half times as lOng as wide. The
proportions for the cross are the same
as those first given Both flags may
be used for drauiug within a church,
but only the pennant should be flown
from q vertical pole.

CATHOLIC GROWTH IS
INCREASING. DESPITE VAR

lALAElAEANAHa nGs1A 4 X ~ Al
Catholic authorities point out, IN
their annual report Of population
growth, that. their church holds us
own in members and in increase, IN
spite Of the fact that immigration has
practically ceased. at least from Cath-
olic countries. During the last ten
years Catholic population growth IN
the United States has been 5-566.stt,
or an average OF 555,SOJ a year Inc
increase last year was $4,000, or con-
siderably above the average Tor me
last decade
THE same authorities also report
marked advance in the methods OF
taking Catholic statistics. Until a
few years ago many large parishes
especially in the great cities, kept no
parish records after the manner OF
Protestant churches, but simply re-
ported aggregate numbers expressed
in even figures. Now exact records
are almost the iuTariable rule, and
hence the greater value Of the census
data.
Catholic population Of continental
United States is now 1s,4l6-ao9, and u
Alaska. the canal zone, Hawaii and
the Philippine islands be included
26. 266. 500. No figures for growth be-
vond the limits OF continental United
states are given The proportion of
priests 10 churches Is greater than
that Of any other religious body and,
according to figures just given out
as official there is less disturbance
between the proportion than in other
bodies This is in spite of the fact
that full numbers Of priests have gone
to war.
