A troop of Boy Scouts was applaud

The night dem onstration was more
hilarious than that of the afternoon.
All the bands in the city turned out
and paraded the streets without any
attempt at organization. Celebrators
got into line where they wished and
marched without any idea as to the
line of march. Red fire was burned
along the streets and flags of all the
allied nations were displayed. All
kinds of antiquated instruments were
resurrected to play patriotic airs
Banners bearing slogans that were
anything but complimentary to Kali

PRAYING TO THE SAINTS.

1t is well known that one Of the
tenets of the sixteenth century re-
formers was a denial of the power
of saints to hel p us. This led, like
wise, to the doctrine which for
babe prayers to the saints. With
in recent years, however, it is no.
ticeable that old Catholic prac-
tees have been subjected to analy-
sis by some Protestants, and have
been admitted as consonant with
Christian teaching.
Recently a prominent Anglican
layman asks, "Whether there is
anything in the practice contend
ed for by these sections of Chris
tendon which precludes their re-
considering the judgment passed
in this matter by the sixteenth
century reformers. He answers
that the Roman Catholic view is
a logical consequence from even
the Protestant theory of Christ S
medlatorshlp.
Some Protestants now contend
that the position Of our Lord as
Chief Mediator does not necessar-
lily do away with the power of
saints as secondary factors in the
matter Of intercession. AS a mat
ter Of fact, even Protestants must
admit that microscopy prayer is
mentioned and approved in the
New Testament. Hence, it is en-
couraging to witness a revival of
sincere investigation on the part
of non-Catholics, since we have
little doubt that the Protestant
laity-whatever may be said of
the ministry-as a body, is and
wishes to be sincere in it's beliefs.

leading his forces in many a bril-
liant victory from Brandywine to
Yorktown. His youth and enthus-
iasm, his high courage and lofty
ideals, filled the down-hearted col
onists with renewed fortitude. He
supplied the necessary vim and
igor 'r'r-hicth were being g7aair1diiiiy
crushed under the weight of suf-
fering.
Among the gallant foreigners
Rochambeau, Montmorency, Kos
ciusko, Pulaski and others-who
came to our rescue in the hour of
dire need, none other holds so en-
during a place, so endearing a title
in the heart Of the American peo-
pie as the Marquis de Lafayette.
After his return to France he took
part in the Revolution. Being a
true lover of liberty, however, he
stood for a constitutional mon
archy, and opposed the extremists,
for which he was eXiled. He made
several trips to this country and
renewed his friendship with
Washington. In 1927 a septua-
genarian, he paid a final visit to
the land Of his adoption. His
journey from city to city was the
greatest personal triumph posi-
bly,, that the young republic had
ever witnessed. The whole ma
ton, so to say, lay PROSTATE at
his feet in grateful recognition of
the inestimable services which he
had rendered in the darkest hour
of the nations peril.
For a century and half Amer
lea has cherished her traditional
VeneratiOn of Lafayette. For a
century and half she has sought
an opportunity to repay Lafayette
and France the debt which we
owe. The hour finally has come,
and America, in the person of
General Pershing, has responded

in-chief, when, recently, he placed

Service Clubs for Girls
NEW YORK CITY OPENS NEEDED
CENTER.

A Catholic Young Womens Service
Club was opened in New York City
recently. This club will be under the
direction of the New York Diocesan
War Council, and the task of adapt
ing it for the girls classes in war
work was committed to the Women's
Auxiliary of the Diocesan Council. 1t
stands in thickly populated district,
and hundreds of girls had registered
their intention of participating in the
various phases of Women's war activi-
ties before the doors were opened.
The formal opening was by Mgr. M.
J. Lavelle, chairman of the New York
Diocesan hospital. Mgr. Lavelle feels
that in every community where it can
be done the Catholic contribution
should include a central service club
for girls, another for men, and as
large a provision for hospitals for the
wounded as the means available will
permit to be made.

CLAIRE FERCHAUD.

Many of our readers have nc
doubt heard Of some alleged reve-
lations Of the. Sacred Heart to a
young girl, Claire Ferchaud, of
the Diocese Of Poitiers, France
From official sources, says an ex-
change, it is known that the seer
is a good Christian and of sound
judgment; the Church authorities
have not the slightest doubt about
her sincerity, and it is stated that
nothing in her words or writings
was found that was not in con,
formity with orthodox theology

Of Poitiers, on June 16, this year.
warned the faithful to mistrust
quotations attributed to her or
prophecies which have currency
under her name. The real gist of
her revelations is that our Lord
encouraged her to promote prayer,
private and public, penance, the
social reign of Christ and the ma
tional homage of placing the Di-
vine Heart on the flags of France
Anything outside of these four
purposes that may have been pub
lished is mere gossip; but the seer
has ever affirmed the final triumph
Of France in connection with her
conversion.
1t is known, moreover, that to
obey orders received, the young
girl has called on the president,
M. Poincaire, and asked him at
once to place the Sacred Heart on
the national flag, and that she has
also written to the same effect a
letter to the French generals in
March, 1917.

LAFAYETTE DAY.

September 6 will be the one
hundred and sixty-frst anniver-
'sary Of the birth Of Marquis de
Lafayette. 1t will also signalize
the anniversary Of the first battle
of the Marine, in 1914, won by
General Joffre, Lafayette's coun-
tryman. 1t has been proposed,
therefore, to make this day mem
Orable in American history in hon
or Of the great French patriot of
the American Revolution.
We are told that when the
American troops went to Europe
during the past year they brought
with them a spirit of vigor and
freshness which at once revived
the war-weary hearts of the allies.
The courage, strength and enthus-
iasm Of American youths served
to infuse new life into those who
had been battling on the various
fronts in Europe. The result has
been success and victory for the
allies long before the time ex-
pected. The same result was no.
ticed several years ago when the
hard-pressed Austrian forces in
the east were revived by the ar
rival Of fresh German divisions.
In this way we can understand
to some extent the effect Of the
arrival Of the youthful Lafayette
among the American colonies.
Washington had gathered his
colonial troops from many quar-
tiers; not a few Of them were poor
ly equipped and miserably clad
the horrors of winter and the bit
terness Of privation had reduced
the American forces in numbers
and in efficiency. Lafayette, a
mere youth of twenty years, was
led by his love Of liberty to es-
pouse the cause Of the colonists.
He placed himself at the services
of General Washington, underwent
| thetmiseries of Valley Forge, and
proved his mettle and ability by
