chairman of the chapter: The at

called to a matter which has
caused pain to Catholics, and
dean regret to non-Catholic mem
hers Of the Red Cross. A recent
issue of the Red Cross magazine
carried a poem by Kipling in
which a reflection was made on
the pope.
The mistake is fully explained
in the telegram which Is part Of
this bulletin, and chapter chair
men are requested to post this
bulletin in the chapter rooms.
and to explain to ali who have
been grieved by the occurrence
that another edition of the Red

error was made:
in the February issue of the
Red Cross magazine there ap-
peared a poem by Rudyard Kip
ling in which there is an unfor-
tunate reference to the head OF
the Catholic church.
.This poem was inserted in the
Red Cross magazine at the last
minute by the editors, without
having been submitted to Wash
ington. 1t was regarded purely
as a contribution from Kipling,
and the editors did not sense the
reflection on the Catholic church
which it contained.
ut is a matter Of the greatest
concern to the war council of the
American Red Cross that this
should have happened, and they
regard it as a serious FRO The
American Red Cross is nor-sec-
tartan. Everyone knows the
splendid help and cooperation it
has had from Catholics every
where both in contributions and
in active service in its official
ranks.
In view of this spirit it is to
be hoped that Catholics every
where will understand that the
appearance Of this poem was the
result of oversight and error.
"Will you Immediately COM
municate this message to all Red
Cross chapters in your division,
with the suggestion that they
place it conspicuously in their
chapter rooms; and will you in
addition call upon the leading
Catholic prelate in your city,
showing him this message and
explaining that the next issue Of

tain an editorial OF sincere regret
for the error that has been
made"

PORT FOR INLAND NATIONS
Project That Has Aroused Much In
terest in CONNIE Circles in
Switzerland and France.

A project to provide an Independent
hemia and other inland European ma
tions in order to render them eco
nomically independent of Germany af-
ter the war is receiving attention in
France and Switzerland, according to
report to the department of COM
merce from Consul General Ravndai
at Nantes, France.
This project, the consul states, has
aroused much interest at Nantes,
whose municipal authorities are con-
fcrfing With commercial interests in
Switzerland with view to combined
action. The business men of Lyons
also are said to be watching the move
ment With deep interest, although they
have not yet joined it. The general
idea seems to be to construct suitable
rail connections between the inland
production centerS and one of the
Loire pOrtS-NanteS, st. Nazaire I'd
Rochelle or Bordeaux It is also
thought possible the project may be
forwarded by the construction ot
cGnals linking up the Rhine and Rhone
rivers with the navigable lake system
OF Switzerland.
Existing railroads are available tC
form the backbone of such construc
ton. Port facilities already have beer
developed at several of the ports be
cause of war demands and railroad
yards and warehouses ample for the
beginners of such Il project are avail
able at Nantes and st. Nazaire.
II is thought that after The wal
American passenger and freight traffic
with central Europe as well as witt
France will tend toward the Loire
ports; in preference to the more distant
channel and North sea ports, which
owing to their location and meteoro
logical conditions, increase the cost O.
navigation and insurance.
