The Rev. Dir. Washington Glad
den, the well-known Congrega-
tional minister of Cleveland, Ohio,
who died on July :, will be re-
membered by American Catholics
as a loyal friend in their days of
trial and persecution twenty-five
years ago, when the A. p. A.
movement was at its height. DR..
GLADDEN. came out strongly in the
pulpit and the press in denuncia-
ton Of the bigots who sought to
deprive Catholics of their rights
in this country The A. p. A.
movement was a skilfully con-
cocted plot against Catholics and
their Church, and many so-called
leading citizens helped it along.
Dr.. GLADDEN. by voice and the pen
denounced these m-American
fanatics, and he had considerable
to do with putting the finishing
touches to the A. p. A. movement.
He was a scholarly gentleman and
an American Of the finest type.

HEROES OF THE SEA
NAMES TO BE PERPETUATED IN
GALLERY OF HONOR.

A memorial gallery of honor is be-
ing planned by Secretary of the Navy
Daniels to perpetuate the memory of
all men in the navy who have lost
their lives in service against the Cen
trail Allies. He has requested that
portraits of all the men be sent him.
AS rapidly as these pictures are re-
ceived copies will be made and the
originals returned. A photograph of
each man is then forwarded to the
training station where he began his
career in the service. There, memo

ner is to be formed
Relatives of men who have been lost
in the war are asked to mail pictures
to the department. All pictures should
be securely wrapped after they have
been marked with the name, branch of
service and training station the man
entered after enlistment. These should
be addressed to the recruiting divi-

Negro Catholic Statistics
REPORTS FROM TWENTY-SEVEN
DIOCESES SHOW MORE THAN
100000.

According to the latest report of the
proXimately 100000 Catholic negroes
for the twenty-seven dioceses taken
into consideration. All the Southern
dioceses are, of course, included, but
many Northern and nearly all the
Western dioceses are left out. The
omissions prevent our taking the fig
ures as final indication as to what
percentage of the ten million negroes
in the United States is Catholic. We
can hardly expect, though, that the
neglected dioceses would have added
very much to the total. 1t would be
interesting, as well as instructive, to
have an accurate census of negro
Catholics throughout the United
States.
OF the dioceses recorded New Or
leans leads with $4,000 colored Cath
olics. Baltimore is next with $4,000.
Both together have $4,000, which is
another way of saying that the re-
naming twenty-five dioceses have Az
900 Catholics. Alexandria has 5000
colored Catholics; Mobile something
over 5000; New York, 5000; Calves
ton, 1890; Natchez, 5000; st. Louis,
$1,000 These statistics point, after
fashion, to the centers of greatest
missionary influence.

REGARD FOR NUNS
REGISTRATION LAW is MODIFIED
IN FAVOR OF ALIEN SISTERS,

German nuns in this country did not
have to endure the embarrassment of
having their pictures taken without
their headdress, as some feared when
they first learned of the Federal regu-
lations relative to the registration of
female German aliens. Those regula.
lions read at the top of the registra-
ton affldavits- also in the book
Of general rules-that each affidavit
should be accompanied by four I'M
mounted photographs of the regis.
trant not larger than three by three
INCHES in size on thin paper with light
background and that each photograph
must be of shoulders and full face of
the registrant without hat or head COW
ering.
Attorney General Gregory sent to
marshalE and registration officers
throughout the country the following
modification:
I'm registering as German alien fe-
males, registrants who are members
Of any religious community or order of
any denomination wherein is prescrib-
ed the wearing of a headdress as part
of the religious habit may furnish
photographs of themselves wearing
official headdress.'

A Subscriber" is very much per.
picked over a sermon which appeared
in an evening paper and in which the
reverend gentleman said among other
things:
If l had the power l would decree
that nothing but English should issue
from the pulpits of the land. l would
have nothing but the English Bible
read from the desk and prayers to God
made in English. There is no room in
this country in these days of war for
a great principle for anything but the
one language. This is America, and
English is it's language.
The churches must be AmericaniZed
Any Church that is so bound to its
historic connections with Europe that
it cannot enter into fullest sympathy
with Americas purposes and plans
should have it's doors closed.
Our friend Subscriber" has proba
bly, been compelled to lie awake al
night thinking over these rare state
ments and has most likely sent them
in to us with the prefiXed note. What
do you think of them?" The ideas
expressed are so small that we could
not find any smaller type in which tC
put them. But there is a serious, a
very serious side to the subject. Who
is this highbrow that takes advantage
of a pulpit to PROFOUND ideas that
over one hundred million people
should follow! If he has permission
to suggest what language every one
should use, why has not some other
fellow got the right to suggest what
every one should wear, eat, drink OF
smoke?
At the outset let us say that we dc
not attack that mans or any mans
religious belief. We shall overlook
the fact that his first statement is a
gentle little jab at the Catholics in
general and the Douay version of the
Bible in particular, and that the sec
ond one is a submarine attack on the
Pope. No Christian should attack OF
antagonize another Christian purely
on account of his religion. We all aim
at the same destiny, and if Bill Jones

even to walk there and we prefer to
take Pullman, the best, the quickest

thing for all Christians to do is to

block the traffic to that destiny. In
this case the issue is different; this

IRISH ALIENS IN AMERICA
TREATY BETWEEN THE UNITED
STATES AND GREAT BRITAIN
STATUS OF IRISH ALIENS UN-
DER THE LAW.

Some misrepresentation exists as to
the effect of the treaty between the
United States and Great Britain in re-
lation to the draft law, upon the status
of Irishmen in this country who have
not become citizens thereof The pro-
vision of the treaty in this respect
may be summarized as follows:
"a Irishmen who have not taken
out their first papers are still subjects
of Great Britain and are amenable to
the British draft laws, under which
the draft age is from eighteen to for
ty-four years.
ca Irishmen who have declared
their intention to become citizens of
the United States, that is, who have
taken out their first papers," have
the option of joining the British army
within sixty days, and if they fail to
do so, they become amenable to the
draft laws of the United States, and
may be drafted into the American
army.
In the case of those who seek eX-
emption on the ground of not having
taken out first papers, satisfactory
proof of this fact must be submitted
to the local boards.
Those who have declared their in
tentions to become citizens of the
United States, though still subjects of
Great Britain, may be drafted, not
withstanding, under the United States
law for the American army.
For the purpose of stating the mat
ter simply and clearly it should be
remembered that these regulations ap-
ply only to persons of Irish birth, and
not to British subjects of other ma
tionalities. To the latter different
rule applies.
1t may be presumed, we may add,
that few Irishmen will be found to
exercise the option above mentioned
that of joining the British rather than
the United States army.

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE
FOR PERSONS RUN DOWN.

Il do not approve of beer and wine
to give strength to persons who are
run down. There are nutritive quail
ties in certain malt liquors, but their
nutritive value is more than counter
balanced by the narcotic action of the
alcohol which they contain. l do not
approve of the use Of beer by nursing
mothers. Personally, | do not
use alcohol in infectious diseases ex-
cept in the case of alcoholic addicts,
because l do not believe that alcohol
is stimulant, and if l want to use a
narcotic there are others that are
more dependable than alcohol. =.

cago. I
Only very few answers favored al
cohol. One was rude, and reminded
me of the Brooklyn physician who
wrote me several years ago, God
bless whisky. Come on and take a
drink"
1t might be interesting to add here
that DR.. Henry Koplik of New York
City reported in the Journal of the
American Medical Association of No
vember II, 1917, that the death rate
in Bellevue Hospital pneumonia cases
among children had been much larger
when whisky was given than when it
was not given, so he had stopped all
use of whisky in that disease. He
says: 'The use of whisky in former
years was not justified by the results.
The complete disuse of alcohol has not
harmed my patients. The
whisky did not help me to save life,
so l discarded it."
Another interesting item is found
in the report of the committee of the
New York Academy of Medicine on
malnutrition among school children, as
given in the Medical Record recently.
Among the causes of malnutrition men
toned occurs this: I'm many homes
the children are given coffee, tea and

The solution Of the labor queS-

clearly that their mutual relations

more perfect fulfilling Of these
obligations that we are requested
to pray.
The employer must realize that

envy. Such donations could take
the form OF an endowment, a
scholarship, or at least bequest
towards some educational institu-
ton. From one to five thousand
dollars usually is sufficient to
establish a scholarship in col
lege. In virtue of this generosity
a person would have the consola-
ton of knowing that some deserv-
ing pupil would be enabled to
acquire a thorough education, and
later on to become an honor to
Church and State. Requests for
educational purposes should form
a part of every Catholic will. A
genuine Christian will realize that
whatever he possesses has been
given to him by God. In a spirit
OF gratitude such a person will
not fail to return to God at least a
small portion of this world s
goods. If our Catholic people of
means could be enabled to view
the matter in this light the day
would soon dawn when Catholic
schools and colleges would show
far greater expansion even than
they do at present. A Catholic
will which excludes God, His
Church and education from it's
provisions, is sad and sorry COM
ment ON the lukewarm religion Of
him who penned such a will.

Despite the protest of that brilliant
irish lawyer, J. MacVeagh, M. P, JUS
tice Eve decided the other day that
requests left for Masses and to mem
bers of religious orders were invalid
as being given to unauthorized per-
sons for superstitious practices"
The case was that of the fortune of
man who left out of an estate of
$4,000, $3.50 to the Bishop of Ardagh
"a bequest which was found good,
by the way-and sums of $1,000 each
to Cardinal Bourne of London, the Jes-
uits at Farm Street, London, and the
Dominicans at Haverstock Hill, Eng
land, for Masses for the repose of his
soul. The next of kin disputed the be-
quests.
The Judge said that he found that
precedent was too strong for him;
that the law had been settled by the
Catholic relief act of 1929, and that
If any differentiation was needed it
must be made by the house of lords
Mr.. MacVeagh in a fine speech asked
the Judge not to say that the most
sacred act of the faith of millions of
his majesty's subjects throughout the
empire, the faith of so many valiant
soldiers in the trenches, was super
stition, but this appeal was of no
avail. Just as the kings coronation
oath became intolerable and was abol-
ished, the time has now come to re-
peal much that is Objectionable in the
Catholic relief act, by which members
of religious orders have no right to
live in Ireland.

CARDINAL MARTINELLI
FORMER APOSTOLIC DELEGATE
TO THE UNITED STATES
DIED IN ROME.

Cardinal Sebastian Martinelli, Pre-
feet of the Sacred Congregation of
Rites, and former Papal Delegate to
the United States, died in Rome on
July 5.
The late Apostolic Delegate was a
member of the Order of st. Augustine.
He was born in ST. Anna, near Lucca,
Italy, August 20, 1848. In 1895 he
succeeded Cardinal Satolli as Apos-
tolic Delegate to the United States,
remaining here until 1902 During
his term of Office in this country he
was created and proclaimed Cardinal
on April Is, 1901. From 1907 to 1909
he was Chamberlain of the Sacred
College.
Cardinal Martinelli held many re-
sponsible positions in Rome where he
was also Protector of a great many
orders and congregations. He was
Cardinal Protector of the Catholic
Church Extension Society of the Unit
ed States, and also Of the Extension
Society of Canada.
