POPE WOULD WIN
ORIENTAL SECTS
One Result Of War is to Renew Dream
Of Vatican for Return to
Church Of Le-

ROME, Nov. 1.-(By Mail)-One
OF the results of the war has been to
renew at the vatican the long cher
ished dream of a return to the BOSOM
OF the Roman church of the various
schiSmatic sectS or Oriental rites.
with which the eastern Mediterranean
countries abound.
A definite policy towards this end
has already been adopted and put into
execution by Pope Benedict XIV, and
progress is being made. Just as the
world dreams of universal peace at
ter the war, with fraternity and broth
erhood existing among various politi-
cal states, the vatican is looking for
ward to more or less Of a universal re-
ligious peace, at least as far as the
Oriental schismatic churches are con-
cerned, and either direct turn to the
Roman fold or at least fraternity and
broth rhood among them under the
central spiritual head of the Holy See.
That one, great historic fact that
has contributed to this more than any
thing else, has been the overthrow or
Czarism in Russia. The car of all the
Russians was the spiritual head of the
Russian church, and in general was
looked upon by nearly ell of the
schismatic churches of the Orient as
the spiritual head of their religion
rather than the pope at Rome
With the disappearance from the
political and religious horizon Of the
car many of these Oriental churches
nre now left without "a central spirit
ual authority. Two possibilities lie be-
fore the vatican. First of all. to Sc
i cure their return to the bosom of the
mother church, from which they have
been separated for centuries, if posi-
BILE. Secondly, to make concessions to
! the various oriental rites, in the mat
| ter of ceremonies and other details. to
at least bring them within the sphere
| and control of the church of Rome.
The church of Rome has made many
concessions in the past in the matter
| of form, and it is not considered i'm
probable that it may do so again.
This dream Of return to the Ro.
man fold of the scattered flock In the
! Orient is by no means new one
There is every reason to believe that
it was cherished by Pope Leo XIII
who certainly made some progress in
that direction. With the assistance OF

TAKING CARE
OF ITALIANS
American Red Cross Does Good Work
in Switze rland Among
Repatriated Sol
djerS,

IBy w. w. Husband, Formerly with
the American Red Cross in Berne.l
LONDON, Nov. 2--(By mail.)-
One of the most important phases of
the varied work which the American
Red Cross is doing in Switzerland is
that of caring for the repatriated
Italian soldiers enroute from Austria
to Italy
! We were very busily engaged In
! Switzerland last spring in organizing
relief for American prisoners in Ger
many when there came the first sud-
den influx of invalid Italian repatri-
ates, sent from Austria under new
| exchange agreement. Arrangements
were promptly made for taking up
! this work under combination be-
tween the American, French, and
Italian Red Cross organizations. This
has now become one of the most i'm
portant features of allied relief which
we have undertaken in Switzerland.
! A considerable part of these Italian
lrepatriates are tuberculous, while
others are the pitiful "grandes
blesses," hopelessly wounded men.
The condition of these men, as they
arrive from Austria is often very seri-
Gus and the work to be done for them
4 is correSpondently urgent.
Many of the repatriates die in tran
sit. / remember one group of tuber-
culous soldiers in which about fifty
deaths occurred between the time
they were gathered together in Aus
tria and the time they reached the
Italian border There are several
deaths in practically every train. and
the condition Of many of the other
sr, hn ,n,.t
can Red Cross realized the import
ance of this work and threw it's whole
energies into 1t.
The ordinary method of bringing
these men out is as follows: The
italian government sends a train into
Austria through Switzerland, to
gather up the men who are to be re-
LEASED under the exchange agree.
iment The train crosses the Swiss
border with it's repatriated passen.
gers and arrives at Buchs, where ii
lis met by delegations from the allied
Red Cross organizations. Under the
ipresent arrangement, the American
Red Cross is furnishing the major
part of the food and clothing required
for those passengers.
Many of the repatriates get al
Buchs the first square meal they have
had for years. and it is pleasant to
know that most of the food which
they consume comes from the United
States through the American Rec
Cross.
Each train carries $50 men. There
are Italian doctors and priests or
board. The American representatives
go through each train as it leaves
Buchs for Zurich. Among the pas
sengers are always to be found E
dozen or more Italians who have
, been in America, and even few who
claim American citizenship or whc
| have perhaps taken out their frs
papers. Every man on the train re
ceives from the Red Cross man
package of American cigarettes ant
a small American flag. and the plea
sure which they derive from the fla

car and the spiritual head of these
oriental churches, all is changed, and
Pope Benedict is at work TO heal the
breaches that have existed. One of
the first steps to this end has been
the crea ton of congregation of the
oriental churches, the high form of
organization that exists under the
vatican, corresponding very much to
ministry in lay forms OF govern
ment This new congregation has
been placed on the same high basis
as the consistorial congregation, the
highest ministry of the Catholic
church. Cardinal Marini, secretary of
this new congregation, is perhaps
the vatican's greatest authority on
the oriental churches. The assessor
of the congregation is bishop of
the Greek rite from Athens.
Pope Benedict also has opened
close to the vatican pontifcial
oriental institute, which is organized
very much on the basis of univer-
sity, and the Libraries and courses of
which are open free to clergy and
laity alike.
Pope Benedict has just reorganiZed
in the historic Greek abbey at Grotta-
ferrata, near Rome, seminary for
education of Albanian priests, the
Albanians in general taking more
kindly to the Greek church than to
the Bulgarian. Russian Orthodox or
other schismatic sects represented in
! the Balkans.
! This school is regarded as the first
of series of seminaries in which
native priests of the various countries
where schismatic religions exist and
who know the native language and
native customs, will be trained TO at
! tend to the spiritual needs of these
various populations. their work tend
| ing in the end to bring these schis
matte peoples and religions gradually
back to the bosom of the mother
church.
So effective does this policy seem
! likely to become, that political think
ers at Rome are pointing out that
