When He Travels About Unusual Precautions
 Are Taken by by Guards.

LONDON, Jan. 16.-So closely is the German Emperor guarded when he travels by rail through Belgium that his movements are kept even from the railroad officials handling his train up to the last possible mo- ment, according to a correspondent of The Chronicle who has several times witnessed the Emperor's ar rival
 Whenever the passage of the Im- perial train is to take place the fact is not known to the chief rail- way official until the same day, and to his subordinates not until rival" the correspondent says. 'In the station the lines are all kept free.'
 Describing one such arrival of the Emperor's train the correspond ent says: ''All workmen, on this occasion, whether Belgian or Ger man were dispatched outside, and access to the station was forbidden. This applied to all passengers as well. The military guards occupy ing parts of the station and envir- ons were ordered to leave their posts and pile their arms. The only persons allowed on the plat form were the stationmaster, his employees appointed to work the signals, and the military chief. There was no guard of honor. no manifestation whatever.

French Canadians Lead
BISHOP FALLoN AT ORDINATIONS
HAS ORDAINED MORE PRIESTS
OF FRENCH CANADIAN EXTRAC-
TON THAN ALL HIS PREDECES-
SoRS.

During the course of his remarks
after the Ordination Service in St.
Peters Cathedral, London, Ontario,
Canada, on Holy Saturday, the Right
Reverend NJ. F. Fallon, Bishop of Lon
don, gave a very definite and convinc-
ing answer to widespread misstate-
ment. d..
Il wish to draw your particular at
tention," said the Bishop, to the cler-
gy and laity present, 'to the fact that
of the four priests whom | have or
dained this morning three are French
Canadian. | have now ordained more
FrenchCanadian priests for the do
cese of London not only than any one
of my predecessors, but than all of
them combined. I have ordained the
past eight years for the diocese of
London more Freneh-Canadian priests
than had been ordained in the whole
fifty-four preceding years of it's his
tory And today there are in my dio,
cesar Seminary more theological stu
dents of French-Canadian extraction
than have ever at any one time before
been adopted by this diocese.

NO PLACE FOR ALCOHOL.

I will now lay down three propo-
sitions-I make no reservations, I
put no limitations upon them. They
appeal to all ages, and to all people.
The first is that God never made
normal human brain that needed to
be stimulated to action by alcohol,
The second is that among the count
less millions of men God never Gre
ated one who was strong enough to
begin the use of intoxicating liquor
with certainty that he would not be-
come it's victim. And, third, that
there is no time in a human life
after which man is immune from
danger.
If these three propositions are
true-that no normal brain needs
alcohol, that no man is strong
enough to be sure that he will not
become it's victim and that there is
no hereafter in which it is safe to
begin-there can be no excuse for
the use of alcohol.

DOMAIN OF, TEMPERANCE
TURNING DEAF EARS TO THE
CALL OF POPES AND
COUNCILS.

Those misguided priests and Cath
Ole papers who have been backing
'bone-dry' prohibition instead of advo-
eating the saner doctrine of temper
ance, must have felt pretty cheap
when they read about recent happen
ings in Oklahoma, where fanatlclsm
has gone SO far that even the holy
sacrifice of the Mass is threatened
Before the effulgence of the blush
of shame which the foregoing reproof
assumes fades and leaves in darkness
the sanctum whence the rebuke is
sued, let us counter in this wise; then
we shall see how much there is in
what the reproof implies as to the
origin of the Odious law. Those mis-
guided priests and Catholic papers
who turned deaf ear to the call of
the Popes and the Councils of Balti-
more, and who, for more than thirty
years, have continued in their parish
papers and parish entertainment pro-
grams to advertise the dangerous
liquor business, which they were to
use their best endeavors to keep their
people out of, and whose course so
embittered and hardened some non
Catholic temperance workers in their
antipathy against the Church, must
feel guilty now that they see their
disobedience to the admonitions of
the Church eliminate in the passage
of laws made by her enemies, which
makes the celebration Of Holy Mass
q oil
sible; for upon them much more than
| upon the three or four misguided
priests and Catholic papers" rests the
| blame and odium of the enactment Of
| these laws. To give these three or
| four priests and papers credit for such
an achievement, is to give them I'M
due prominence. And even if they
had not only backed, but advocated
and brought about, the enactment of
prohibitory laws, they would not haye
violated any law or admonition of the
| Church. She has never condemned
| prohibition nor admonished her pas
tors to do all in their power to keep
| their fOckS out of the movement, but
she has called upon them to keep
their people out of the dangerous liq-
uor business. Before accusing and
condemning a few of their confreres
for doing what the Church left them
entirely free to do, they should at
least have first done what they be-
sought them through the bowels of
Jesus Christ to do. The great enemy
of the Church now as regards drink
is not prohibition but the liquor traf-
fic. The founder of st. Vincent de
Paul Society complained that the gov
eminent had not found in the arsenal
of it's fiscal laws the secret of arrest
ing the multiplication of distiIleries,
of raising the price of alcoholic Hq-
uors, of restricting the sale of these
detestable, adulterated, poisonous
drinks that cause more sickness than
all the rigors of the seasons, and make
more criminals than all the injustice
of men combined" -".' .Es.1s.

thirty-eight dioceses in question are
at standstill, but simply indicates
that no new diocesan census was pos
sible last year.
Comparing the figures of the 1918
issue with those of the 1908 volume
it is found that the increase in the
number of Catholics during the past
ten. years has been 3,538,877.
If to the figure 17,416,303, which is the
population of the United States proper,
are added the numbers of Catholics in
Alaska, the Canal Zone, the Virgin
Islands, Guam, the United States pos
sessions in Samoa, the Hawaiian
Islands, Porto Rico and the Philippine
Islands, it is found that the total mum.

of the Stars and Stripes is 1926, 642
According to the general summary
of the new Kennedy publication there
are now 20,477 Catholic priests in the
United States. Of this number 1892
are secular priests and $3.50 are
priests of religious orders. Other fig
ures taken from the summary are as
follows:
Archbishops, 10; bishops, SO;
churches with resident priests, 10,369;

Not in years have so many deaths
taken place among the prelates anC
priests of the Catholic Church in this
country, and according to the Necrol
