GERMAN EMPIRE AND REPUBLIC

thus making the administration of
ecclesiastical affairs of doubtful legal
standing. Before the war, the civil
status of Catholics in the empire was
not at all what it Should have been.
There were few in high position, and
the Center Party complained less than
a year ago that the same state of
affairs existed, despite the war.
Yet, the condition of the Church in
the empire was splendid in many re-
spects. Church and state worked to-
gether to relieve the poor and the
Center Party, the Catholic party, was
recognized as one of the most potent
forces in the country. The Catholic
clergy were supported by the state,
as were the Protestant ministers.
But, as the writer stated above, he
considers this an evil, no matter how
many may disagree with him. The
Church, as America has proved, is far
better off when supported by the char
ity of the people.
The Socialists in Germany have the
upper hand now. This means that
the Catholics will suffer- But the suf-
fering will not have been in vain if
true republic can arise after the in
evitable maelstrom following upon the
dissolution of the many dynasties.
AS Germany was constituted until
last week, the freedom Of the Church
rested with a few men. The empire
was not representative of the people.
The Bundesrat was composed of am
bassadors appointed by the rulers of
the separate states (hereditary sov-
ereignsJ, and was responsible to them.
1t was the most powerful body of the
empire and it's representation was dn-
| equal. The Reichstag was the repre-
| sentative body of the legislature, but
of the 397 members Prussia alone
elected 236. A Berlin deputy repre-
sented about 125,000 voters; an East
| Prussia deputy, from the home of the
Junkers, represented about $4,000.
| The Kaiser, with the consent of the
Bundesrat, could dissolve the Reichs-
| tag any time and order new elections.
The empire was administered by
ministry headed by the imperial chan
| cellor. The ministers were respon-
sible to the Kaiser, not the Reichstag,
and did not resign when defeated in
the latter body. 1t was this lack of
i freedom that made the United States
so insistent on reforms before the
word of Germany. could be accepted.
Il If the German kinglets and princes
and dukes and the Kaiser, under the
4 old regime, should have developed an
anti-Catholic bias, they had the power
almost to crush the Church. In fact,
4 they tried it in the Kulturkampf. The
4 Church, in the future, will deal with
: the people in getting its rights, not
z with a body controlled by a handful
of hereditary sovereigns. We believe
in the people

American Priests Help
CATHOLIC MISSIONARIES FROM
AMERICA TO CHINA.

1t looks as if China will be policed
and possibly managed for while, un-
til it can learn to run itself as a re-
public The Chinese have great con-
fidence in the United States, and it is
quite probable that Americas influ.
ence will strongly prevail in the re-
adjustment.
This will react upon every American
Enterprise, and it is well for the
Church that we are beginning to send
American priests over to China, which
until now has been under the impress
sion that "all Americans are Protes
tants, and all French, Catholics"
A handful of American priests car
today be found in the great republic
of China, as against thousands OF
Protestant minister's; but the stream
has started and the source of Mary

The Bilingual Problem
POPE BENEDICT UPHoLDS THE
RIGHT OF CANADIANS TO
TEACH cATEcHlSM IN FRENCH.

Pope Benedict has written another
letter to Cardinal Begin and the other
Canadian Bishops on the bilingual
question After Rome had studied
the question, it decided to permit the
Catholics to obtain, if possible, con-
cessions from the government under
the new education law of 1913. The
Pope upholds the right to have the
young children taught catechism in
their native French. He kindly aid,
monishes the French Canadian Cath.
olics, however, not to venture into
the courts or promote litigation with
out the consent of their Bishop, who
must consult other Bishops. This
action of Rome is taken because the
dispute over the French-E English IAN
guage question had become so hot in
Canada that it was causing bitterness
even between dioceses.

RIGHT 1 REVEREND BISHOP NC
NICHOLAS IS INSTALLED in HIS
NEW SEE WITH LITTLE cERE-
MoNY-AssUMES NEW JuRIs-
DIcTIoN. s

Right Reverend John r. McNicho-
las, recently appointed Bishop of Du-
luth, Mimi, arrived in that city Friday
afternoon, November Is. It had been
planned that he would be accom-
panied by party of tihrty-five priests
and laymen from New York City. 1t
was also intended to have a great pub
lie ceremony in Duluth on the occa-
sion of his installation. The new
Bishop, however, who is rather averse
to public display, did not wish any
elaborate program or reception. His
wish in this case was the more easily
fulfilled, in as much as Duluth was un-
der ban as regards public gatherings
by reason of the prevailing epidemic
of Influenza.
Bishop McNicholas was met at the
depot by delegation of the clergy
of Duluth. He was accompanied on
his trip from the East by Very Rev.
erend Raymond Meagher, o. P,
Provincial of the Dominicans, Very
Rev. Ignatius Smith, o. p, Rector of
ST. Catherine of Siena Church, New
York City, and by Rev. Michael T.
McNicholas, O. p, a brother of the
Bishop. The party was entertained at
the Bishops residence.
AS the churches of the city have
been closed for the past five weeks,
and public gatherings are still for
hidden, no public ceremony in the

PLEADS FOR IRELAND
CARDINAL o'coNNELE ASKS FOR

Cardinal O'Connell demands free

Irish can love the English as only
Celtic hearts can love those who, rec
the. injustice of the cruel
past, wipe out all it's stains by one
superb act of splendid, generous and
just recognition Of the right.
The Cardinal was speaking at the
welcome to the churchmen and lay
men of the English and French &C.
clesiastical missions. In making his
address of welcome he said in part:
England has glorious chance. She
must not fail us. She will not fail.
The Gael and the Puritan will then
say together: Let us forget the
wrongs and sorrows of the past in the
joy and happiness, the peace and con-
tentment of the present, and the glori-
Gus hopes of the future"

NEW MOTHER GENERAL
MOTHER ANToiNETTE HEADS
MISSIONARY SISTERS OF
SACRED HEART.

The Missionary Sisters of the Sa-
cred Heart in this country have re-
ceived word of the selection of the
Rev. Mother Antoinette Della Casa as
superior general of their order. The
naming of this successor of the late
Mother Foundress of the community
has been awaited with great interest
in Catholic circles, for the Missionary
Sisters are now one of the largest
single communities of nuns in the
Church.
Rev. Mother Antoinette has been in
the United States about twenty years
and at the time of her elevation was
Superior of Columbus Hospital, Chi
cago. She has also served as Su-
pe1ior at Seattle and New York City
houses of the order, and, before the
late Rev. Mother Frances X Cabrini,
foundress of the order, came to this
country five years preceding her
death, Mother Antoinette was her
delegate here. The news of Rev.
Mother Antoinette's selection as SUI
perior General comes direct from
Rome.
Rev. Mother Antoinette was born in
Genoa, the birthplace Of His Holiness,
Pope Benedict XIV. She is not only a
deeply spiritual woman, but also a
splendid business manager. Her order
now has 70 houses in many parts of
the world.

WILL GERMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
SUFFER THROUGH DOWNFALL
OF DYNASTY? - WRITER AN
sWERs QUESTION IN THE NEG
ATIvE CONDITIONS OF THE
CHURCH IN GERMANY.

What effect will the downfall of. the
Church of the empire, with it's mem
bership of twenty-four millions? Will
the Church be as we'll off under a
republic or whatever form of govern
ment may arise as it has been under
William Hohenzollern?
The writer thinks that it will be
better off. Nowhere on earth is
Catholicity better able to functionate
than in the United States and Eng
land, the two nations that stand fore
most in the rule of the people. Cath
olicity, called by her enemies an au-
tocracy, is the very essence of de-
mocracy, and she gets along far bet
ter in a country where she can work
unhampered than she does in a nation
where the state. interferes with her,
even though the state might help
financially to maintain her institutions
and ministers. "A study of Catholic
history has convinced the writer that
the Church begins to lose freedom the
minute she accepts money from the
state for any kind of work. State
money means state interference.
The Catholic Church in Germany
underwent a frightful persecution in
the last generation under the unspeak-
able Bismarck. He attempted to Ger
mamie the Church, just as the empire
later attempted to GermaniZe the
world. The kaiser who left his throne
last week dismissed Bismarck shortly
after becoming emperor and catered
to some extent, to the Catholics, which
has led many to believe that the
Church was altogether free in Ger
many. Yet, it was only after the
| present war began that the empire
allowed the Jesuits to enter. The
establishment Of converts everywhere
in Germany has been subject to tht
approval of the state. In Wuftembers
and Baden, only female orders have
been allowed. In Saxony and the
smaller Protestant states, teaching or
ders were barred, only nursing sister
/ hoods being allowed. Civil marriag,
has taken precedence of religious, b.

CARDINAL TO CARDINAL
IRISH BISHOPS IN LETTER TO
CARDINAL GIBBONS PRAISE
PRESIDENT WILSON.

Cardinal Gibbons has received a
document signed by Cardinal Logue,
Primate of ireland, and the other
Bishops and Archbishops of Ireland,
congratulating him on his fiftieth an
niversary as a Bishop. In part, it
says:
"A delegation of the Bishops of
Ireland would gladly journey to Bal
timore, but duty constrains each Irish
Bishop to abide among his flock and
render them, il occasion should re-
quire, all the aid he can, as Irish
Bishops have ever done in days of
danger. !!
"The Jubilee tribute of esteem and
affection which the Cardinal Primate,
Archbishops and Bishops of Ireland,
in meeting assembled for themselves,
their clergy and people, tender to the
Cardinal-Archbishop of Baltimore, is
associated in our thoughts with graft
tude to America for all it has done
for the Irish race and to its Presi-
dent for his noble announcements on
behalf of the freedom of nations, small
and great"

THE BISHOP OF DULUTH

Cathedral was permitted. Since, how
ever, Bishop cannot exercise his
jurisdiction until the Papal Bulls of
his appointment have been read pub
licly in the Cathedral, and as the Bish-
ops guests found it necessary to leave
on Saturday evening, the installation
took place before a comparatively
small gathering of clergy and laity.
7 The deacons of honor to the Bishop
were Very Rev. Raymond Meagher
and Rev. NJ. T. McNicholas; the as
sistant deacons were Rev. D. w.
Lynch and Rev. Omer Robillard, o.
NJ. l. Right Reverend Mgr. Buh, Ad-
ministrator of the Diocese, read the
prayers prescribed by the Roman
pontifical, and then led the Bishop
to the throne. Rev. P. J. Lydon, Rec
tor of the Cathedral, read the Papal
Bulls of appointment in Latin and
then in English. At the close of the
ceremony the new Bishop addressed
the clergy and laity in simple and
sincere words. He asked their pray
ers and cooperation in all his under
takings for the salvation of souls and
in the complete service to Jesus
Christ. The ceremonies concluded
with Benediction of the Blessed Sac
rament given by the Right Reverend
Bishop.
The motto on the Bishops coat-of-
arms is that of st. Thomas Aquinas,
"Confidentia Divini Auxilii-"Con-
f1dence in Divine Assistance"
On Saturday evening and on Sunday
Bishop McNicholas spent a great part
of his time visiting the various
priests who are suffering from in

ask you to thank God from the bottom
of your hearts for having led us
safely to the heights of triumph and
for having blessed our arms. We
should worship Him in all humility
and all reverence.
I'VE have conquered because we
have believed that righteousness
exalteth a nation. We have conquered
because we believe in justice and in
humanity. We have conquered be-
cause we have fought for the eternal
principles of truth and because we
