PRIESTS ARE CAPTIVES
ENGLISH CHAPLAINS WIN HON.
ORS FOR BRAVERY-CALL FOR
PRIESTS is URGENT.

A large number of British Catholic
chaplains have been taken prisoner
during the recent German offensive,
and are being retained by the enemy.
Two priests, Father Whitefoord, con-
vert, only ordained two years ago, and
Father Baynes have been killed, while
Father Ryan has been wounded. The
latter was mentioned for gallantry in
Sir Douglas Haig's latest dispatch.
Father Freeley also receives the Mil
itary Cross for great gallantry on the
French and Italian fronts, and Father
McGarVey, with the air force in Italy,
receives the same decoration. Father
King, senior chaplain with the Aus
tralian forces, receives the Order of
the British Empire, newly instituted
decoration, which is also conferred on
several well-known Catholics, includ-
ing the Warehouses of Butte, the Bar
oness Beaumont, Dom S. RaWlingson,
0. S. B., and others.
The call for priests is still very
urgent, and over sixty chaplains are
at present in request for the Catholic
units of the army.

Lake johanna Camp
BOYS OUTING RESORT NEAR THE
TWIN CITIES REPORTS SUC-
cEssFUL YEAR-CLERGY ARE
INVITED TO ATTEND.
Communicated

The Lake Johanna summer camp is
now we'll past the meridian of another
successful season. 1t was thought in
the beginning, in view of the sixteen
years working law, the advance in
tuition to meet the extreme cost of
living and other wartime conse-
quences, that the camp would not at
tract very large number of young
sters this summer. 1t is a surprise
to note that these considerations have
not lessened the boys love for camp
life, for at this early date the enroll
ment far exceeds the record of any
previous season. The registration
now stands we'll above the one hun
dred mark
While more extensive ADVERTISE
ment and better camp equipment and
amusement have contributed to this
summers success, yet no small credit
is due to the patronage extended by
the large contingent of altar and choir
boys sent from the Ascension, st.
Stephens and Pro-Cathedral parishes
of Minneapolis and individual repre-
sentatives from other parishes of the
Twin Cities.
1t is very evident that Lake Johanna
camp is becoming more widely known
and better established as a proper and
correct institution for a summer out
ing for boys.
Owing to the fact that the presence
OF fifty or more boys on the lake shore
entails heavy responsibilities and
strenuous moments, the camp authori-
ties consider it well to close registra-
ton for boys on Sunday, August A.
and enjoy a little time in quietude
and rest amid those same scenes that
have so often afforded an outlet for
the blood-curdling shrek and boistrous
enjoyment of playful youth. Perhaps
during those days of calm members of
the clergy might be glad to enjoy a
days outing at Lake Johanna. The
charge will be moderate. Two priests
from the Archdiocese have spent the
greater portion of the summer at the
camp and so great has been their
achievement in vigor and recuperation
| that they are determined to continue
to the end.
| We wish at this time to extend our
| sincere thanks to our patrons and
friends who have helped to make this
season such grand success, and we
earnestly request their generous CO.
operation in the future.

Twelve states have ratified the pro-
hibition amendment; seven Of them
were dry at the time. They are Mis-
sissippi, Virginia, South Carolina, Ari-
IONA, North Dakota, Montana, and
South Dakota. Five of them are wet
kentucky, Maryland, Texas, Della
ware and Massachusetts. All af these
five, and particularly Maryland, Della
ware and Massachusetts, were counted
upon to stand firm and prevent ratifi-
cation.
To get down to concrete facts and
figures, here is a tabulation that
makes plausible the assertion that the
United States will be bone-dry within
two years:
Dry States NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. .27
Wet States which have ratified
amendment INSTRUMENTATION. 5
Wet States electing legislatures in
1918, with a majority of popula-
ton dry ..................
Total ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 30
That makes a total of thirty-five
states, one less than the necessary
three-fourths of the states to secure
ratification. But look at the reserves
in the way of wet states from which
the prohibition amendment can draw:
California, Connecticut, Illinois, Ne
vada, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Wisconsin, Wyoming.
Can anyone doubt that in those ten
states at least one can be found which
will join in ratification?
Even if one of those states where a
majority of the population is now dry
should refrain from ratification there
will be enough in the ten wet states
just mentioned to insure ratification.
When Massachusetts, Delaware and
Maryland, wet states, ratify ma
tional prohibition amendment, what
is likely to happen in Connecticut,
Rhode Island and New York? The
women voters in New York are eX-
pected to aid the prohibition element
The dry states at the present time
are: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Col
orado, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa,

opinion that the sin is forgiven. Such
a case would be extremely rare.
Which came first after Christ, the
Greek Catholic or the Roman Catholic
Church?
Christ preached His new doctrines
first to the Jews and founded the
Christian religion among them. His
followers were first called Christians
at Antioch. ST. Peter was appointed
head of the Church, and his success
sors were to endure to the end Of
time. In the beginning the Church
was neither Greek nor Roman. st.
Peter, after a few years, settled in
Rome and established his See there.
For this reason the Church is often
called the Roman Catholic Church.
The so-called Greek Church dates from
about the eighth century. 1t came
into existence much in the same way
as did the various Protestant denom-
nations; that is, by denying certain
parts of Catholic doctrine. These
Greeks called themselves Orthodox.
The few Greeks who have remained
faithful to Catholic teaching from the
time OF their conversion are called
Uniates.

A Clerical Circuit Rider
FATHER WISE, OF MISSISSIPPI,
HAD VARIED CAREER-LoVED
BY ALL CLASSES.

The passing to his everlasting re-
ward of the grand old man of the do
cese of Natchez, Miss, Ri. Rev. Mgr.
Joseph L. Wise, rector of the Church
of the Assumption, Yazoo City, recalls
some notable incidents in his lengthy
sacerdotal career, writes the Rev. Ne
Illus Downing in "The Morning Star"
They are characteristic of the man.
Father Wise was a clerical Circuit
rider" par excellence, having at one
period almost all north Mississippi I'M
der his spiritual care. He sat for days
in the saddle and for nights, too, seek
ing scattered members of the fold
through the highways and byways of
his extensive territory. When his
mount became more weary than him
self, he snapped horses, using
"shank's mare"-in other words, he
footed it." His fine missionary zeal
smashed the twin demons of PrOtes-
tantism-bigotry and calumny. Not
only this; he cleaned a respectable
harvest of converts in the most uneX-
pected quarters. Like the Divine Mas
ter, Whom he served with such I'M
stinted generosity, he was regarded as
either fool or mailman" or even
both. Knowing nothing of the truth
of the Catholic faith and nothing good
of its priests-both maligned to the
superlative degree-men and women
looked askew and askance at the giant
like, handsome and intellectual
'Romish priest" whose life of hard
ship, self-denial and other-worldliness
was to them not merely a stumbling
block but indeed ''foolishness,"
knowing naught of the mysteries of
the kingdom of God" they could not
see that becoming a fool for Christ's
sake is the supremest wisdom.
A couple of years ago Father Wise
told of the establishment of many non
Catholics at seeing Catholic priest
for the first time. They "sized him
up from every angle, gaped in sur
prise at him, were very diffident
about shaking hands, some "stood afar
off, not daring to come near, his feet
were carefully scrutinized, showing
neither the proverbial cloven hoofs
nor the diabolical horns! He recalled
that two families, that had refused him
shelter, afterwards became Catholic,
while the sheriff of a certain county,
who hoped one day to lynch him, was
received into the Church by Father
Wise as a result of conference on
the proposed lynching!

the 104th United States Infantry. This
regiment of 300, seventy per cent of

then Catholic colonel down to the
youngest Catholic private had been
clamoring and longing for an English
speaking priest.

French medieval villages there is
Catholic Church and a French able or

hear the Gospel in their own lam
guage and to go to confession.
Were it not for the Knights of
Columbus activities their hopes would
not have been realized. The sending
of Catholic priests to these men is, to
the X. of C. Order, a credit and a
glory, exceedingly greater than the es-

MENT.

There are forty-eight states in the
Union, each with an equal voice in
the ratification or rejection of Consti-
tutional amendments. 1t will require
affirmative action by thirty-six states
in order to make the prohibition
amendment effective.
There are now twenty-seven bone
dry states. Six of these have already
ratified the amendment, and it is be-
lieved that the remaining twenty one
bone-dry states will take like action as
soon as the, legislatures assemble.
These legislatures will be elected in
November, 1918, and will meet in
January, 1919
All state legislatures save seven
will be elected in 1918. Of the seven,
four have ratified the prohibition
amendment, having been in session

FATHER JAEGER In ROME
PASTOR OF ST. BONlFAclUS
WRITES OF HIS TRAVELs-HE
is WITH THE MISSION TO SER
BIA.

Rev. Francis jaeger, pastor at st.
Rome to a friend here. Father JAEGER
is with the Red Cross mission to Ser
bia.
Rome, May 10, 1918.
Our Balkan expedition of the Amer
lean Red Cross, consisting of Father
jaeger, DR.. Stoors, VIM. Moffert, Prof.
Bull and John JAEGER, reached Rome
safely May IA. We had cold and
rainy weather through France and the
Riviera, but beautiful summer wealth
er throughout Italy. There is great
change in the appearance of this coun-
try; where there were pastures and
woods they have been cut down and
plOWed up with American tractors, and
been put into wheat, barley and po-
tatoes. Thousands of women and chill
dren are working in the fields. There
was plenty of rain this spring and
the crop promises to be enormous.
Italians believe in helping themselves,
and there certainly does not appear to
be any serious shortage of food.
We cannot see much difference be-
tween here and the United States, eX-
cept that we are using jelly instead of
butter Looking at Rome one cannot
see any more sign Of war than in
Minneapolis. Business and everything
else is running it's usual way. We
had nearly a weeks waiting for the
boat to take us to Corfu and used up
this time in sightseeing. We went all
through the ancient Rome and the
palaces of Caesar, Hadrian, Diocletian,
Nero, etc. One day we spent at TiVoli
in the mountains east of Rome, where
the old Etruscans built their temples,
which still stand. The temples of
Vesta and Sybill stood there over
looking the terrible chasms and water
falls for over 1000 years. Here Hor-
ace wrote his famous Odes at the time
Christ was born and Emperor Hadrian
built his famous university for the
learned men of the world. This Villa
Hadriana is almost in a perfect state
of preservation and covers the space
of four and one-half square miles.
Yesterday we went to the catacombs
of st. Agnes and visited the Vatican
Museums, of which, of course, we saw
only a small fraction, as there are
miles and miles of rooms and halls.
They say there are between three and
four thousand rooms in the Vatican.
At noon today we were received by
the Pope, who looks to be in the best
of health and was pleased to see the
Americans. For three years no Amer.
leans have arrived here but the Red
Cross workers.
We read in the papers here that
Americans are dying of hunger and
dropping from exhaustion in the
streets along the whole eastern coast
of America, and that the Allies and
Americans are fighting in the United
States among themselves; that babies
have no milk and similar rot, which
Prussian agents are spreading through
Europe.
Nowhere did we see any fear or de
preston. Everybody seems to be
sure of the ultimate outcome OF the
war. and Americans are most popu
