table Archbishop Ireland had thrown
himself entirely into the struggle for
the Church as well as for pure and
unadulterated Americanism. After
the Archbishop's long interview in
Rome with Pope Leo XIII, the Pontiff
addressed letter to Cardinal Gibbons
announcing his decision not to grant
the petition of Cahensly, and setting
forth that existing laws for the Sc
lection of Bishops were to be adhered
to without modification. Suisse
quently the project of the propaganda,
in communication to the American
primate, conveyed a stern warning to
those who continued the agitation,
and in a short time the last echo of
the controversy that had racked the
hierarchy for years died out.
Thus, in the guise of an internal
question in the Catholic Church, ny
phenism" at it's beginning received a
blow that stunned it for years and
from which it has never been able to
recover
It was natural that the Pan Ger
manic movement should have sought
an outlet through the Catholic church.
While Lutheranism is identified with
Germany, but not with the Teutonic
population of Austria-its divisions
and loosely knit form of government
by synods in America render it u1l-
seryiceable as a possible instrument
of nationalistic propaganda. Direct
political inspiration from Berlin
through the medium of German or
German-American lay organizations in
the United States would have defeat
ed its own object quickly by exciting
resentment. But the Catholic Church,
with it's universal organization, pre-
sented an ideal field for the Cahensly
plan.
This Church was, therefore, vulner-
able to the insidious and powerful
force which Cahenslyism represented.
The difficulty must be admitted of
saying to the foreigner that. while
perpetuating in America the religious
life to which he had been accus-
toned in his native country, the
Church could extend to him no SYM
pathy in the retention of his political
ideals and aspirations; that, in fact,
so far as it exerted any influence over
him in this respect it must be in the
direction of complete assimilation of
all foreign elements into an Ameri-
can political unit that knows no al
legiance, in thought or deed, to any
earthly sovereignty except that of the
United States. How difficult, also,
was it to say to the German Catho-
lie, who had been identified with the
| Centrist party in his native home,
that in America the fundamental law
of the land was writ of enforcement
of religion and politics!-
| Thank God, Cardinal Gibbons and
Archbishop Ireland lived to see the
dangers which they pictured thirty
years ago turned into realities before
the eyes of the American peaple.

THE RUSSIAN ACADEMY
CATHOLIC INSTITUTIONS WILL BE
TRANSFERRED.

It is announced that the Academy
of Catholic Theology Of Petrograd will
shortly be transferred to Lublin or to
Wloclowek in occupied Poland.
In this respect it may be remarked
that until 1912 the superior education
Of the Catholic clergy was assured by
The faculty of theology in the Polish
University of Wilma. After the insur-
rection of 1881, and at the time of the
Forced conversion of the Uniates to
Orthodoxy the maintenance of cit
adel of Catholicism at wilma was
judged inopportune by the Russian
Government and the faculty, pro-
NOTED to the rank of academy, was
transferred to Petrograd Today it
is the Germans who oppose the re-
installation of the academy at Wilma,
judging that its presence would
tllwart their work, which is to SOW
discord amongst the Catholics of
Lithlania.

ORIENTAL INSTITUTE
PoNTlFF's INTEREST IN oRIEN-
tai CHURCH,

Monsignor Papadopoulos, assessor
of the new Congregation for the
Oriental Church, has arrived in Rome
to take up the duties of his Office. He
was detained for a long time in Bull
garia, but was eventually allowed to
proceed on his journey after strong
representations had been received
from the Vatican. The Congregation
will begin its regular work in Novem-
Der, when it is hoped that the Orien-
tai Institute, which is connected with
it, will also be inaugurated.
{ Pope Benedict takes great interest
in the Oriental Church, and has or
dered the Basilian monks at the cele-
brated Abbey of Grottaferrata, in the
Alban Hills, to cooperate by devot-
ing all their efforts to- preparing
young aspiring clerics, especially
Italians and Albanians of the Greek
rite, for entry into the Oriental Insti
tute to study for the priesthood

WIDOWS OF FRANCE
TOUCHING LET TER SENT BY
THEM TO HOLY FATHER-PoPE
SAYS MASS FOR THEM.

If it is true that "the hand that
rocks the cradle rules the world, :,
then the future of the Catholic re-
ligion in France is safe for genera
tons to come.
The address, which deputation
from 2O0, 0O0S French widows sent to
the Supreme Pontiff through the
hands of Cardinal Gasparri, has the
genuine ring about it. 1t is one of
the documents that will be spoken of
by future generations: ,s.
Most Holy Father. The French
widows of the, war numbering 100000
hulnbly PROSTATE at the feet of Your
Holiness, beg you to be pleased to
accept the expression Of their I'M
shaken fealty to- the Holy See. AS
heads, of families, they take the sol
ernn pledge at Your Holiness feet to
educate. their children in love for the
Church, and they promise Your Hol-
ness to educate them in the weighty
duties which this love and this at
tachment stand for. They supplicate
you, Most Holy Father, in exchange
for this promise, to offer to God their
broken lives and all their sorrows, in
order that it may please Divine Maj
esty to change their tears into a tor
rent of benedictions that may fall on
their sons and conduct to your feet a
new France.
ssMost Holy Father, those who suffer
most for France and who hold in their
hand her future are happy and proud
to be called the most faithful daugh-
tiers of Your Holiness. {"
This is short and to the point. 1t
was precisely what was needed. 1t
represents widows rich and poor, of
high and of low degree. Such illus
trious names as those of the Princess
of De Clermont Tonnere, the Countess
of Castelenau, daughter of Gen. Cas-
telenau; the Duchess de Rohal, Prir-
cess Murat, Countess Lavisse, wife of
Gen. Lavisse, and tens of thousands OF
other names famous in the history of
France, are attached to the address.
along with those of seventy-six of the
Archbishops and Bishops of that re-
public.
Some time ago, it will be recalled,
Pope Benedict promised to say Mass
for the intention of the widows of
France. Along with the album con-
tanning the address and it's signatures
were sent for the use of His Holiness
at this Mass chalice of solid gold,
an alb of the finest Brussels lace, and
an altar cloth of French linen.

AT CAMP TAYLOR
MASSES LLaATTEMDED WHILE
SISTERS PROVIDE COMFORT
FOR SOLDIERS.

The spiritual side of the work for
the soldier boys at Camp Zachary
Taylor at Louisville, KY, stands out
very prominent every week. Last
Sunday there were thirty-two Masses
celebrated in the various Buildings in
camp, including the hospital, and the
attendance was way into the thou
sands.
A great many Sisters visit the camp
and show by their interest that their
heart is with the work that is being
carried on for the comfort of the
soldiers. All that is necessary Is for
one of the secretaries to mention that
something is needed at one of the
buildings for the altar and, within the
next day or SO, it arrives with the
compliments of the nuns of some com
munity around Louisville

LAFAYETTE

The liberty We hold secure,
The soil on which we tread,
That air of freedom that we breathe,
The flag that floats o'erhead;
That nation on, whose history
The sun shall never Set
All that we have and hold we owe
To Franee-and Lafayette.
He came to fight for freedoms cause
Against tyrant's power,
When. Washington at Valley Forge
Had reached his darkest hour.
His army fought beside our own,
And, when the task was done,
Another nation had been. born,
For victory was won.
A boy in years--a man at heart
Son of a mighty race
He wrote his name in mighty deeds
That time shall not erase.
He brought new hope, and faith, and
strength
In time of black despair,
And freedom triumphed on our soil
For France was fighting there.
rs sx
And now, across the many years,
By history's happy chance,
Against expressions heavy hand
Our soldiers fight for France;
And when the, last hard fight is won
We shall have paid the debt
That always has been ours to pay
To France and Lafayette!

Archbishop Katzer, and, with a bold
ness which few men would have ex-
hibited, he proclaimed in his sermon
on that occasion the principles for
which he stood. After saying that the
Catholic Church was a family derived
from many nations, yet that it's HER
archy in America was as united and
compact as any in Christendom, he ex-
claimed:
Woe to him, my brethren, who
would destroy or impair the blessed
harmony that reigns among us. Woe
to him who would SOW tares of dis
cord in the fair field Of the Church
of America! Woe to him who would
breed dissensions among the leaders
of Israel by introducing a spirit of ma
tionalism- into the camps of the Lord!
Brothers we are and brothers we shall
remain. God and our country"
This be our watchword Next to love
of God should be love of country. Let
us glory in the title Of American cit
izen. To one country we owe alle-
glance, and that country is America.
We must be in harmony with its polit-
ical institutions 1t matters not
whether this is the land of our birth
or adoption It is the land of our
destiny!

LETTERS FROM THE SOLDIERS
From Charlie Sonderman


From Charlie Sonderman
My Dear Mother:
/ had better write now or you'll
think again I've forgotten all at home.
We have been moving for the last
couple of weeks and working hard
that's the reason why I haven't writ
ten. We get to see real battles in the
air and all other events that go In
this war. I can't say what happens
as I'd like to and what's going on.
BY the papers you'll know what we
have been doing to those scoundrels.
Saw a bunch of German prisoners yes
terday. They were sure hard look
ing, dirty, hungry and mighty tired
of war. Some of them could hardly
walk, they're so near all in.
Haven't got mail of any kind for the
last three or four weeks, but We'll
have big mail day when it does come.
On the Fourth. of July we put on big
parade and say, you ought to have
seen the French people! The streets
were simply blocked and all I could
hear was "America! America!" They
are happy bunch when the Americans
march by or wherever they are camped
or located.
Tell Jessie and Julia I'll write to
them whenever I can find time. We
are all so busy no one has time to hard
ly think, let alone write.
Summer is almost gone and the kids
will soon start to school again. 1t
seems as tho this summer has been but
a week to me-time goes awfully fast.
Saw Andy Christensen the other day.
He's looking good, getting husky and
fat. His folks won't know him, he's
getting so big.
Well, I have nothing more to write
this time and will write again soon as
the mail comes in. I'm feeling good as
ever, wishing / was home as usual, but
am here to stay until it's all over.
Wait till this time next year and
see where Fritzie is at! We are lick
ing him good and proper.
Will try and get something to eat
now, so must close.
With my love to all,
Your loving son,
CHARLIE S.

MUSTARD GAS WORST
Most Horrible Invention Huns
Use in War.
It Brings Tears and Causes Painful
Skin Diseases Among
Soldiers.

WaShington.-The most dangerous
kind of poison gas used by the Ger
mans is mustard gas" or dichloro-
diethysulphide.
Mustard gas has a distinctive but
not altogether unpleasant smell, more
like garlic than mustard. 1t is heavy
and oily as liquid. 1t boils at PIT de-
grees centigrade, and thus has proper
ties whereby it can be distributed in
the form of a spray on the impact of a
shell.
Mustard gas is powerful producer
of tears. After several hours the eyes
begin to swell and blister, causing in
tense pain. The nose discharges freely,
and severe coughing and vomiting en-
sue.
Direct contact with the spray causes
blistering of the skin, and the vapor
penetrates through the clothing. Gas
masks, of course, do not protect
against this. The symptoms are similar
to pneumonia high fever, heavy
breathing and often stupor.
The damage done by mustard gas is
a slow and insidious development. The
breaking down of the affected tissues
is slow, the height being reached from
five to ten days after the burn is res
ceived. The painlessness is also a
marked characteristic. Healing is
slow.
Mustard gas besides being used in
direct attack, is also used for 'neutra-
lization." For instance, where supplies
and ammunition are being brought up,
a few mustard gas shells will result
.in dangerous confusion and delay. A
part Of the infantry is "neutralized'
by having food and ammunition cut
down. If the shell hurts as well as
neutralizes, so much the better.
The American mask to fight mustard
gas is of the box respirator type. The
hood is of rubber. Breathing is
through the mouth, pincers shutting
off the nostrils. The gas-charged air
enters through the bottom of the cam
listers, where by means Of neutralizing
chemicals, it is purified. From the top
Of the canister the air is drawn into
the lungs.
There is one-way shutter valve in
the hood through which the air comes
out This mask is designed to last ten
hours. For artillerymen the war de-
partment has made an oil suit which
encloses the soldier bodily.
