Polish Protest Effective
ARCHBISHOP SUCCESSFULLY OBJ
JEcTs TO IMPOSITION OF
UkRAINIAN PEACE TERMS.

The vigorous protest of the Polish
Council OF Regency against giving the
ancient Polish district of Cholm to the
new republic of Ukrainia has been
successful, and it is now announced
that Cholm is to be part of the King
dom of Poland. The protest, which
was signed by Archbishop Kakowski,
Joseph Ostrowski and Ladislas Lubo-
mirski, denounced the refusal of the
Central Powers to permit Poland to
take part in the peace conference at
Brest-Litoysk and continued:
"They have not admitted us in order
to be able, in our absence, to con-
clude peace at our expense and to
acquire the security desired in the
East at the price of the living body
of our nation. They have cut off a
piece of Polish territory and given it
over to the Ukraine; they have fallen
back into the iniquities of the govern
ment of the Gar; they have re-estab-
lished the creation of Russian nation
alities.''

LETTER OF THE MOST. REVEREND ARCHBISHOP

which she may be enabled to carry
still further towards happy and full
accomplishment the gigantic task i'm
posed upon her.
In consideration of the large exemp.
tion of the bonds of this loan from
taxes, of their high rate of interest
and of the solid security which accom-
panies them, there can be only one
reason why anyone, who without great
sacrifice is able to buy them, will re-
fuse to do so. He will refuse because he
cares not for this country, because he
neither prizes her blessings nor senses
her aims, because in reality he is not
an American. Americans are those
only and all those who heartily re-
spond to Americas call
Catholics have thus far made a
worthy record in every department of
war work. They have conyincingly
shown how truly they love their coun-
try and how highly they appreciate
the worth of American citizenship.
Once more in full force, with a gen.
erosity in some small measure reflect
ing that of the gallant soldiers now
offering their lives on the altar of
patriotism, let them put their means
at the disposal of the government. A
Catholic community without the rec
ord of having subscribed its full
quota of this loan would be dishonor
to the Catholic Church See, to it,
Rev. Father, as far as in you lies,
that there be no such community in
the Archdiocese of st. Paul

people.

PRIESTS HELP JEWS
CATHOLIC CHAPLAINS IN sALoNI-
KA WIN GRATITUDE.

From all camps of the belligerents
come accounts showing the work of
the Catholic chaplain, his influence
among both Catholic and Protestant
soldiers, the welcome accorded to him
everywhere And now comes an in
teresting document to the Vatican, an
attestation from the Israelites of
Salonika as to what these people owe
the Catholic priest in their recent
trials.
The confiagration at Salonika of a
couple of months ago made, as the
world knows, thousands homeless.
Among those most stricken by the
disaster were the Hebrew population,
which totals about 10000 persons,
most of whom speak a Spanish dia-
lect, a relict of the days when their
fathers were expelled from Spain un-
der Ferdinand and Isabella In the
Camp Denain one body of 1000
Israelites were and still are gathered
pending better days. The devotion of
the Catholic chaplains in tending the
poor people in this condition is the
theme of the letter just despatched
and received at the Vatican from the
Director of the Hebrew Alliance at Sa-
lonika. The ecclesiastical authorities.
needless to say, are very proud of
how the chaplains have acted during
the three months they gave their
services to the Camp Denain.

NEED MORE PRIESTS
DEARTH OF PRIESTS THROUGH
OUT EURoPE-WAR HAS DE-
PLETED PRIESTHOOD, PARTIcu-
AARLY IN IRELAND, ITALY AND
FRANCE.

The Catholic Church in Europe has
issued through some of its Bishops
an appeal to young Americans of
Latin birth to consider returning to
Europe and taking up study for the
priesthood The same Bishops, es-
pecially those of Italy, France and
Ireland, have also urged their priests
to encourage vocations among the
young men of their congregations.
A foreign mission project, started
some time ago at the famous May
nOoth seminary in Ireland, by which
priests were to be furnished to China
has been asked to wait a short time
until the more pressing needs of
European parishes can be supplied
Efforts are making to fill up the
ranks of classes in Catholic semi
naries, even the famous seminaries of
Rome being reported to have many
vacant rooms and scholarships.
These appeals state that the num-
ber of Catholic priests in the armies,
and the number of deaths, have so
depleted the priesthood that many
churches have had to be either closed
or served inadequately, aged priests
having assumed charge of different
churches. Automobiles have been
brought into service to convey priests
from church to church between the
masses. The appeals of the Bishops
of France say that many French
priests now in the army will be unable
even if they return, to take up service
again, and that they must be provided
with homes for their remaining
years. Young men are lacking in
these countries. but boys remain, and
systematic instruction has been en-
tered upon among them.

THE SANCTUARY OF POMPEII

Carrara marble, adorned with gold
and precious stones, and was solemnly
consecrated on the Sth of May, 1887.
The miraculous picture, before which
fifteen lamps burn day and night, in
honor of the fifteen mysteries of the
Rosary, was adorned with crown of
diamonds, after having been blessed
by the Holy Father himself, who also
sent very handsome chasuble richly
embroidered and bearing the arms OF
the Pecci family, to be worn for the
cQnsecration of the church.
The munificent gifts of the faithful
have not only erected this church, but
have also founded two Institutes for
children, one for boys and the other
for girls; an industrial school, Il
preparatory school for artisans and
mechanics, and printing Office which
publishes every month the magazine II
Rosario della Nuova Pompeii, an
account of the almost daily miraculous
answers to prayer, and frequent fayors
of the Queen of the Rosary. An or
phanage is also supported by means
of the aims received, for destitute
girls, who have none to help them,
and, moreover, refuge for children
of condemned criminals. Here they
are trained to be good and useful
men, so that they may not follow in
the degraded footsteps of their
parents. This is indeed truly noble
and excellent work of brotherly love
and charity! The faithful come, day
by day, as pilgrims to the throne OF
Our Heavenly Queen, and all classes
of suffering humanity there find
refuge at the feet of the Mother of
sinners. They stream in from all
parts of the world; some seeking con-
ISOLATION and cure in bodily ailments,
others giving thanks for favorable an
swers to their prayers.
Thus, in few years, New POmpeii
has become famous, and can even
boast of the modern conyeniences of
railway station, as well as postal
and telegraph Offices. The sanctuary
itself is surrounded by workshops and
inns. the latter affording shelter for
the many pilgrims who visit the church
and the adjacent charitable institu-

city of Pompeii, which was partly
destroyed by an earthquake, Ammo

pletely submerged by stream of lava,

Vesuyius. 1t was discovered in 1748;

his great sanctity, had exposed for
public veneration an old painting of

the year 1876, he, with some pious
and generous friends, bought a site
for a church. and the foundation-stone
was laid the same year by the Right
Reverend Bishop of Nola, Formisano.
No one would have believed that such
magnificent temple could have been
erected in such short time, and ever

not omit with patriotic fervor to urge
your parishioners to invest literally
in the bonds of the Third Liberty
Loan.
The two former loans were not
made in vain. Borne along by the
uncomfortable trend of events, our
country was one year ago drawn into
this greatest of wars and is now re-
lied upon to take leading part there
in. Brief though the time since the
declaration of war, results of the
greatest magnitude have already been
attained. The increase in army and
navy has exceeded all expectations;
the creation and organization of thou
sands of workshops and factories for
sending in the most effective manner
both arms of the service into battle
have been prodigious; the most vital
needs of our fellow-combatants have
been supplied. The nation has been
unified, strengthened, armed, trans
formed. From a condition of COM
parative weakness and helplessness
America is rapidly being made ready
to stand side by side with the strong

marvellous achievements performed
our country again turns to us for sup

(Written for The Catholic Bulletin, by
pr. Vim. |. j. Griffin.)

From the foundation of Christian
ity, from the moment Christ ordained
his Apostles and they received the
spirit of the Holy Ghost, their sue
cessors, the Catholic priests, have fol-
lowed the instructions of Christ,
Go We, therefore, teach all nations"
For almost two thousand years the
Catholic priest has followed this di-
vine command, teaching always the
same doctrine, as taught by Christ.
At the Last Supper when Christ
Instituted the Holy Eucharist, He
took bread and said, This is My
Body" He did not say; this is a
figure of My Body, or a representation,
but-"This is My Body" Thus did
Christ institute the Mass. and He gave
the power to His Apostles to do like
wise when He said: do This in
Commemoration of Me- and His rep
resentatiyes, the Catholic priests,
every day are pronouncing the self
same words in the Holy Sacrifice.
"This is My Body" thus transub-
sanitation takes place and the bread
becomes the Body of Christ, as truly
present in the Sacrament as when
Christ was on earth and as He is in
Heaven, the same Christ that was
offered on Calvary. Had Christ
meant that he was leaving us only a
figure of His Body or a. representa-
tion, He would have said this, but
After the Resurrection of Christ, He
appeared to His Apostles and said:
Receive We the Holy Ghost, Whose
sins you shall forgive they are for
given" Here Christ Instituted the
Sacrament of Penance, and gave His
apostles the power to forgive sin. This
power has been handed down from
Christ to His Apostles and their sue
cessors. Every Catholic priest can
trace this power granted him, through
the bishop who ordained him, back
through the bishop who eonsecrated
that bishop and so on back to the
Apostles and to Christ For almost
two thousand years, the Catholic priesl
has been carrying out the commant
of Christ, Teach all nations"
We read of the early struggles o
the priest, when he penetrated int
the uncivilized sections of the world
out Of barbarism he brought ciNiliza
tion, taught the arts of agrieultur,
and peace, and by patient toll welded
into one brotherhood the barbarial
tribes. No sacrifice is too great TO
the Catholic priest to make, if h
can bring a soul to God. They hav'
penetrated through the unbrokel
forests, across snow clad mountains
and the hot sands of the desert, AM
at times suffering untold torturess t
reach dying man; and gladly woul'
a Catholic priest give his life to be
stow on penitent that peace Q
mind that only Catholic can under
stand.

BRITISH CHAPLAINS
ARMY HAS MORE THAN FOUR
HUNDRED.

When Great Britain entered the
war, there were only fifteen Roman
Catholic chaplains in the British
army. At the same time there were
only four with the fleet. Today there
are no less than four hundred and
fifty-five with the army.
These figures show that the Catho-
lies held well on towards quarter
of the commissions granted to minis
ters of all denominations attached to
the, British forces, proportion which
all Roman Catholic authorities admit
is extremely generous.
