Alsace-Lorraine is now in the
possession of France, to the fran
tic joy of the long oppressed
population. The message from
Mulhausen announcing the event
says that the joy of the populace
was saddened when Father Cotti,
the dean of Mulhausen, was over
come by emotion at the official re-
ception to the French officers,
and dropped dead. He had been
for many years champion of the
French cause in Alsace. The an
cient name of Lorraine was 10th
aringia, and of Alsace, FL Sass.

There is still a number of epis-

Fe to succeed Archbishop Pitaval,
who resigned last spring. Baker
City, apparently, is still untitled,
although a successor to Bishop
O'Reilly, now of Lincoln, was an
nounced some time ago.

The new Bishop of Duluth,
Right Reverend John T. McNichol-
as, writes as follows: 81 have fol-
lowed The Catholic Bulletin from
the beginning and have had a high
regard for it. May it be read week
ly in every Catholic home of the
diocese of Duluth. May every
priest of the diocese cooperate
by encouraging the reading of
Catholic papers. 1t is admission
that can be successful only after
long sustained efforts governed
by paternal, priestly patience. .

1t is noteworthy to observe that
the two men who met to ask for,
and to grant the armistice, which
ended this greatest of all wars,
were both Catholics. Of Ferdin-
and Foch and his Staunch Catho-
LEFTY much has been written, but
of Erzberger, the German repre-
sentative, naturally enough, less is
known. Erzberger, like Foch, is
sincere Catholic. He is the
leader of the Centre or Catholic
party.

An amendment to the War Rev

Senator Pomerene as a substitute

was recently declared unconstitu-
tional by the Supreme Court. I'm
der the law nullifed the interstate
shipment of the products of child

Pomerene amendment a special

It's own punishment Each cfea-
ture is guided by the. good law of
it's nature: let THAT creature
swerve from the appointed path,
and retribution will follow as
surely as night the day.
The upheaval of the world dur
ing the past four years has stirred
up all the dregs and offal that us
ually settle at the bottom of soci-
ETY.. The general confusion has
enabled these human degenerates
and renegades to mingle with the
best and the purest. The simple
and ignorant have, in many cases,
been led astray by artful ruses.
Big, unWieldy Russia, unconscious
of her power, was made prey to
the ravenous fangs Of a Lenine
and a Trotzky. Stripped and
wounded, robbed and ruined she
lay before the gaze Of humanity
as a terrible example of another
form of autocracy, the autocracy
of the mob, the senseless, disorder
ed, undisciplined, splenetic mob.
The same spirit is abroad in
America today. Socialism, l. w.
W.ism, and the newer forms Of re-
bellion and anarchy, though call
ed by more euphonious terms, all
aim at the overthrow Of law and
order. These miscreants, the TO-
mentors Of unrest, would tear
down the Palladium Of liberty I'M
der a pretext Of affording broad
er freedom, and at the same time
they are plotting to place men un-
der more CALLING yoke than any
that the world has known. Mis-
guided minds but too often lend
willing ear to the siren Of lawless-
ness. The penalty, as in every
violation Of Gods law, natural or
supernatural, is swift and sure
punishment, the destruction of
peace, seas of blood, and an ava
lanche of suffering for the world
innocent and guilty alike.
Catholics have an advantage in
the era of reconstruction that is
dawning on the world. We are
taught by the first principles OF
our faith the necessity of obedi.
ence to all lawfully constituted
authority. We have a tradition OF
loyalty to all law, a tradition
handed down to us by the early
Apostle who tells us that all au
thority is from God. Fealty tc
God runs parallel in our belief
with submission to that authority
which is from God. AS Catholics
we are bound by the two-fold OBJ
legation, to God and country, tc
set an example of submissiveness
and of strong devotion to the laws
that rightfully govern our lives
We are warned to shun the ennis
saries of darkness and Of disorder
as enemies not only of the State
but also Of religion. Woe to Us
and to our cherished beliefs if We
align ourselves with these revolu
tionary upstarts,f whether they ap
pear as fire-brand, demagogues Of
as so-called economic reformers
One and all, the ilk is condemned
by reason and by religion. The
world has seen one French Revo

POULTRYMEN
HEAR FINE TALK

Edward Brown, an internationally
famous English poultryman, gave a
most interesting talk upon Poultry
After the War" before the Hunter
don County Poultry Association. at
meeting held in the Lambertville
city commissioners room on Tuesday
evening.
He said that American poultry
men who maintain the standards of
their flocks will profit by the de-
mand that will come for breeding
fowls from European customers.
Fancy stock will not be largely
sought, but good, strong, sturdy
birds of standard qualities.
The commissioners room was fill
ed with interested people, who gave
Mr.. Brown a rising vote of thanks.

/" Coontown Minstrels. !"

The announcement of Girls
Minstrel Show given by the Queen
Esther Circle of the M. E. Church,
of New Hope, has been made in
this paper, and we, as a club, think
it but fair to the public and to our
selves, to explain our reasons for
asking patronage, especially when
most benefits are arranged by War
Work or Red Cross committees.
Our club was organized in Febru-
ary, 1917, as a branch of the Wo-
mans Home Missionary Society, and
pledged to raise certain amount to
defray the expenses of educating
one girl for one year.
At that time the United States had
not declared war on Germany,
and as a town, we had no organized
Red Cross Society.
Therefore it is up to us, as a
club, to perform a double duty; to
raise the sum pledged and to do
something for our local Red Cross.
This minstrel show is toward our
Educational Fund. AS Red Cross
work, we offered our services to DR..
j. E. Scott for a Literary Society
Program, and he expects to use us
about March 6.
The girls are working very earn
estly to make both affairs a success
and hope for large attendance.

FARM INSTITUTE
A BIG SUCCESS

A we'll attended and profitable
farmers institute was held in Odd
Fellows hall, Lambertville, last
Thursday, under the joint manage
ment of the New Jersey State Board
and Hunterdon County Board of
Agriculture, cooperating with the
Lambertville Merchants Association.
Both sides of the Delaware river
were well represented, and the Mer-
chants Association served both din
ner and supper to all the visitors.
The most popular feature on the
program was Mrs. Rose Morgan, of
New York, who told of Songs That
Live" Each of them have a his
tory, and Mrs. Morgan, who is not
only fascinating entertainer but a
splendid musician as well, told of her
experiences in travelling in this and
foreign countries searching out the
folk lore songs. She made strong
plea for good songs-the kind that
live. A little ragtime, if clean of
word, is all right, she said, but too
much of it lowers the ideals and
serves no purpose. To serve it's
purpose and live for a century or
more song should be chaste, SIM
pie and loving; that is, pure in
wording, easily understood and con-
vey message of love for humanity
in some form or other. Songs that
embody these characteristics have
outlived all the popular songs of the
day in the minds of the people.

PLAN BIG POULTRY RANCHES
OrIpinators of Scheme Propose to Es-
tablIsh Chicken Farms Near Large
cities and Feed Table Scraps.

A scheme to establish great poul-
try-raising plants in the vicinity of
municipalities all over the United
States, utilizing the better class OF
table scraps as hitherto untapped
source of food for the birds, was out
lined by T. H. Phillips, manufac-
turer of Orange, N. j., the New
York Herald states. Mr.. Phillips
and a number of associates are about
to incorporate an organization which
will put the idea into practical OPP
Grafton on a poultry farm in New
Jersey which represents an invest
ment of $4,000 and is stocked at
the present time with $500 hens and
chickens.
This farm is in the vicinity of one
of the smaller New Jersey towns and
system of collections and deliv-
cries is being worked out by which
wagons from the farm will call regu-
larly upon the nearby housewives to
collect the surplus matter from the
dining table.
Put in general operation over the
country, the scheme, according to
Nh. Phillips, will effect an economy
of the wheat, corn and other grains
fed to poultry and make them avail
able for mans use in this country
and over in France and will increase
the supply of eggs and poultry.

BROADEN ON ART AND MUSIC
Establishment of Such Departments in
Libraries OF Large and Small
Towns Is Suggested.

In small cities and towns where
there are no art museums and no
schools of music, there is a great
need for the very things they would
supply, says the Eel Paso Times
There is a way to get them without
any great expense or trouble. That
way lies through the establishment
of such departments in the public
libraries, whether large or small.
Many libraries in the smaller
cities already have the beginnings of
very excellent art and music collec-
lions. They have not only books
about music and art, but collections
and musical scores, mounted photo
graphs and prints, and these collec-
tons are circulated just as the
books are.
One library has music room
where borrowers may try over. scores
if they wish. The room is sound
proof, so that patrons in other parts
of the library are not disturbed
when the piano is in use.
Such collections do not have to
begin on a large scale. A small be-
ginning would open the way for
greater interest in these things, and
the department would grow as soon
as people realized that it was there
for them to use. Everyone interest
ed and able ought to do his or her
share to further this branch of COM
munity education and service.

Prof. Henry Coe Culbertson, of
the National Food Administration,
told of the wrongs that led up to
the present war, comparing the &C.
tions of the German naval officers
with those of Captain Symmes, of
the Confederate privateer "Alaba-
MAJ" in the Civil War, and went
into other details of the conflict.
He made strong plea for food saw
ing, and said that the European peo-
pie cannot become accustomed to
eating corn products at a critical
time liks this, so that it is necessary
to send them wheat, meat and sugar
if they are to be saved from hunger.
B. j. Ellis, a poultryman from
Vineland, spoke on poultry raising
and John H. Hankinson, of Glen
more, told of keeping pigs on ff-
teen acres of land, without milk,
and at a profit. Mr.. Hankinson
also spoke in the afternoon on farm
ing subjects, and Prof. j. G. Lip
man, of the New Jersey State Agri-
cultural College, spoke on Fertile
Soils to Win the War" Paul w.
Garrett, of the State Chamber of
Commerce, advocated "A Rural
State Police" and the assemblage
voted heartily in favor of the move
ment.
Mr.. Hankinson explained the far
mer's place in the war draft by say
ing that man who did not produce
in excess of his own needs would
not be exempt on that score alone,
but the exemption would be made
only when it could be shown that he
was producing and selling surplus
of food. Mr.. Culbertson said that
efforts would be made to send loaf
ers, vagabonds and criminals to the
farms to aid in their workings, but
Mrs. Morgan, whose husband is in
charge of the agricultural depart
ment of Columbia University, said,
prior to her Songs That Live, that
she feared these men would be OF
less good than no help, and that the
best possible way to secure high
production on the farm was by the
retention of skilled farmers and ex-
perienced farm labor.
City Commissioner Andrew Foltz,
local fuel commissioner, explained
the recent order that prevented far
mers securing coal in Lambertville
by saying that it was only effective
until the city people were supplied,
and would be modified wherever il
could be shown that the farmer &C.
tually needed it and could not Sc
cure wood for fuel purposes.

sided at part of the sessions, and
