EARTHQUAKES


In Guatemala City it is said, there

approval of the Nicaragua proposed

Panama canal may be later tested by
such earthquakes.
My first personal acquaintance with
earthquakes came along when l was not
more than seven years old. 1t impress

came along near the time the West

shoot something down on us.
But the biggest earthquake that l
now recall was the one that played
havoc in Charleston, $. c. The damage
in that city equaled a conflagration,
where the shocks felled houses and
other structures to the earth. At our
house we were all in bed that night and

Chicago Y. M. c. A. Secretary Com
mends Catholic Effort to Organ
ize Young Men and Women.

Father Edward Garesche, S. j., edi
tor Of the Queens Work. st. Louis
who is leading advocate of Catholic
social centers for young people, ad
dressing meeting of Young Mems
and Women's Associations in Buffalo
said:
I'm the large cities the loneliness OF
the isolated young man is on the in.
crease. After the war the problem
will be acute. We Catholics must
form an organization which will
parallel and Offset the Y. M. G. A."
Father Garesche stated that he had
been studying the methods of the Y.
M. c. A. for several years and has
ascertained that of total member
ship of 625,OOO, Catholics numbered
$4,000 that is, one-fifth of the total
membership and more than half of
the associate membership. He had
come to the conclusion that the Y. NJ.
G. A. does not make any special ef-
forts to proseletyze Catholics, but
that, on the other hand, Catholic
belonging to the Y. M. G. A. was in
danger of becoming luke-warm in his
faith because he had ASSOCIATED him
self from Catholic environments and
influence
Catholics" Father Garesche ex-
planned, "are admitted to associate
membership only, being excluded from
active membership and being ineligi-
BILE to hold office. The Y. M. C. A..
rules make Christianity the test Of
membership, but, as the Evangelical
churches only are regarded as Chris
tian, Evangelicism is made the test
of Christianity. Technically from the
Y. NJ. c. A. standpoint, Catholics are
not Christians We have no quarrel
with the Y. M. G. A. for excluding
Catholics from active membership, be-
cause it is Protestant organization,
but we do object to it's claim that
Evangelicism alone connotes Chris
tianity and that Catholics are not
Christians"
Father Garesche stated THAT the Chi
cago secretary of the Y. M. C. A. had
frankly told him that Catholics would
do we'll if they organized their own as.
sociations for young men and women
Father Charles w. Webb, of Buff
falo, spoke of experiences as a chap
lain in the naval training stations. He
told of the great work that is being
done by the Knights of Columbus and
kindred organizations in these places
and said that it should be continued

Ll.. L., president of the college, a
! Bishop of Boise City, Idaho, in success

at st. Francis Seminary, Milwaukee,
WIS. He was honored with the degree
of Doctor of Laws by Mt. st. Mary's
College, Emmitsburg, Md, October Is.

was professor at Dubuque College. For
the last eighteen years he has been
It's president, placing 1t in the front
rank OF the country's prominent edu.
catlonal institutions. Msgr, German is
leader OF the Catholic Educational
Association. taking an eminent part
III its annual conventions. 1t was
chiefly through his efforts that Du.
buque College was in recent years af-
tlliated with the North Central Asso-
citation of Colleges, an organization
composed mainly of state universities.
Under his presidency the number of
students has risen from 60 to 600.
On April 19, 1917, DIR. German was
invested at st. Raphael's Cathedral az

did not know whether a certain Sec
ton or their press was directly sub
sidized or not, but he did know they
had one blackguardy press, which
was exemplified by comments on, and
the report of, his speech in Dublin on
Friday night. He would deal with
that in letter to the Freeman" it.
self. That paper was continuing the
traditions of the Sham Squire, and did
not stand for the opinions of any de.
cent Irishman.
The danger of the freeman" was
that it could be used by English pro-
pagandists abroad, at the head of
whom was Carson. 1t could be quoted
in America and other places, and it's
opinions could be put forward as
those of a large section of the Irish
people. He asked the Freeman"
which talked of factions propaganda,
to point to any act or word of theirs
which could be turned to the discredit
of their country.
A DilIonite Admission.
On the other hand, he could point
to numerous acts of the Freeman"
and Irish party which could, if true,
be used to the detriment of Ireland.
He could point out in the article-if
Mr.. Dillon wrote it-where he insinu.
ated that if the Irish people had their
own government they would be at
each others threats. In other words.
MIR, Dillon led the world to believe
that they were not able to govern
themselves, and that the only effect
of this movement would be bloodshed.
The Sim Fein program was one of
sef-respect, restraint and discipline,

tions.
