SUBJECT TO CALL
DIVINITY STUDENTS NOT EX-
EMPTED BY NEW WAR BILL.

A favorable report was ordered last
week by the House Committee on the
bill, already passed by the Senate, to
draft young men, who have attained
their majority since the se1ective serv-
ice act was passed. Amendments to
increase the age limit to 40 years and
to put newly-drafted men at the foot
of the list for registration were re-
jected. Divinity students who have
attained their majority since last year,
will be subject to military duty. The
proposed law provides that, each year,
the President may call young men,
who have attained their majority
since the last registration, to register,
adding, each year, 100000 men for
military duty.

SISTER CELESTlNE WALL
NUN WHO is PRINCIPAL OF A
PUBLIC SCHOOL.


Sister Celestine Wall, principal of
the Hamilton Street School, New
Haven, Conn, has completed fifty
years of service as a teacher in the
public schools of the city OF this
time she has served thirty-five years
as principal of the school of which
she is now in charge.
Sister Celestine is believed to be
the only nun teaching in the public
schools of the country for that length
of time. New Haven is unusual in
allowing nuns in the garb of their re-
ligion to teach in public school. In
recognition of her long service, the
Board of Education has voted to send
her congratulatory message.

SOCIALISM AND RELIGION

grading of all our institutions and the
most brutalizing in its effect on the
common life. The Church is simply
organized Christianity. For Socialism
to use it, or make terms with it, or to
let it make approaches to the Social
ist movement, is for Socialism to take
Judas to its bosom"
After Mr.. Heron had said this, and
much more along the same line, he
was sent to Europe as a delegate by
the Socialist Party of America to rep
resent them at the International So
cialist Congress. Mr.. Heron, after he
had said all this, was chosen to write
the national platform of the Socialist
Party, which shows you just what the
party thinks of such men.
The Congress of Italian Catholics
at it's great convention in Rome, Feb
ruary, 1894, declared:
Socialism is the essential negation
of Christianity, and its program is the
antithesis of ours Socialism is athe-
istic; we are religious. Socialism de-
stroys private property, we wish to
emancipate and extend it."
The Christian Democratic League of
Holland says:
'The third enemy is Socialism which
we combat because it undermines re-
ligion and authority"
The Association of Catholic Work
men of Friburg, Switzerland, declar-
ed:
"We reject Socialism utterly"
Schaeffle, in his: "The impossibility
of Social Democracy" says: >..g
Democratic socialism is actually,
and of inherent necessity, the deadly
foe of the Christian church." a.
Archbishop Messmer of Milwaukee
says:
mo good Socialist can be a good
Catholic"
Every leading Socialist throughout
the world is free thinker, he is eth
er an agnostic, an atheist or an infidol.
Shall we organize and fight against
the common enemy Of all our institu-
tions?
The enemy is already within your
gates; don't forget that and take warn
ing.

CARE FOR INTERNED
RELIGIOUS NEEDS OF CATHOLICS
INTERNED IN SWITZERLAND
WELL PROVIDED FOR.

Under. the direction of the Able
Savoy, Professor at the University of
Fribourg, and Chaplain-in-C Chief of the
Interned in Switzerland, the religious
services for the Catholics of every
camp have been organized in very
satisfactory manner. Five priests
serve the English section The Bel
gian Government has called from the
front four military chaplains to assure
that the 1900 Belgians shall have the
Gospel preached to them in Flemish,
and these chaplains are now appealing
for books in the national tongue. The
French interned have benefited by the
religious services in fifty-one par
ishes; and in forty localities they now
have special service, with sermon
in French.
For the families of the interned,
who Joined them in many centers,
schools have been started for the chill
dren. Clubs of studies and choirs
also help to pass the time in several
sectors for lonely men, all these or
CARNATIONS being under the care of
the chaplains. There are fifty-eight
priests among the interned them
selves; and fourteen students of the
ology are continuing their courses.
The camps are visited at intervals by
Catholic Bishops from the various
countries represented. The Catholic
mission at Fribourg has been very
generous in subsidies for the organiza-
tion and upkeep of the chapels.

Unofficial Representative
MGR. RATTI GOES To POLAND IN
THAT CAPACITY.

The. position of Monsignor Ratti, as
special representative Of the Pope in
Poland, will be unofficial, as he will
not be accredited to any government
or ruling body, being very similar to
that Of the Popes unofficial representa-
tive in Switzerland. His duty will be
to look after communications and 9TH
er interests of the Holy See, partic-
ularly in connection with the Holy
Fathers activities in behalf of the suf-
fering peoples.

Confessions Over There

The inadequate number of English
speaking priests with our men over
seas, made it imperative to devise
some method whereby confessions
might be made to a French priest
without knowledge of the language.
AT the suggestion of a chaplain over
seas, a leafiet has been published to
meet this need. A catalogue Of sins
in French and English has been so
arranged that priest and penitent may
read the sins indicated, each in his
own language, at the same moment.

Baiter''

will of that time had been realized. The
American bondholders stood threateningly
behind Wilson and demanded . guaranty
for their holdings, which they had taken
up with the approval and often at the COM
mand of the man in the White House. In
order to save the endangered billions of
the few Wilson had to mobilize the billions
with its expenditure by billions, would
satisfy the greed Of few fortune-hunters,
while the people were not allowed to COM
plain.
Gust as Wilson at the outbreak of the
war permitted the transformation of the
American business system into a war in
dustry in order to stave off, in this way,
threatening panic, he had now to force on
the war itself in order again to stave of
the panic which was threatened at that
time. Nevertheless, he was not able to con-
jure it away for good and all.
"The fact may be recalled on this oc-
casion, too, that Mr.. Wilson cut the life
nerve Of the Stockholm labor conference
because it did not fit into his war plans.
He even brought unparalleled pressure
to bear, at that time, upon the Swedish
government by threatening to cut off all of
Sweden's imports in case the Stockholm
government should dare to permit the con-
ference. He even refused passports to the
American Socialists and other friends Of
peace, just as he had declared any efforts
h~<o ~ %n ho kseySs
and even In Congress 1t was not permitted
to speak Of peace. On the other hand,
the Gompers men--who were brandishing
the torch Of war in Canada, just as they
were doing q short while ago in England
and Francer-continued as before to enjoy
the special favor and the most fsrreaching
protection Of the great prince Of peace on
the Potomac, WHO was ostensibly devoting
himself to making the world safe for de-
mocracy and liberating it from Prussian
militarism.
"Mr. Wilson has again undertaken to
carry into effect what the other robbers
Of the multiple alliance had begun gradual
ly to drop as being unattainable. He did
this by brutally snufing out the incipient
peace-will of the others and by tanning
anew into flame their waning strength,
partly in order to crafty his personal
ambitions and revenge, partly in order to
save the threatened dollars which America
recklessly invested at thousandfold inter-
est in the European war.
"But the world is still being bored with
the cry that America is fighting for an
IDEAL If one takes this ideal as the equiva-
lent to the holy dollar, the cry is true
enough"
New-York tribune., 1918-06-30

II Under the above caption, the
"K6lnische Zeitung," gener-
~ ally regarded as the fore
most newspaper Of Germany
in matters Of foreign politics, prints an
editorial article which is worth repro
ducing here as curious specimen of the
misleading and malicious stuff now
served out to the German public. The
article is all the more significant in view
Of the fact that this paper is very often
inspired by the German government in
it's discussions Of foreign political sub
jects. It is as follows:
"A few days ago stolypin's son-in-law,
Herr Won Book, who up to the outbreak OF
the war was German attache at Petrograd,
declared at social gathering that he had
received trustworthy information to the
effect that in March, 1917, England was
ready to make peace, but that America put
in a protest and insisted upon the con-
tinuance Of the war in order not to lose
the advances (of money! that America had
made to the Entente. England has till now
kept silence regarding Herr Won Books
. statement; and America, too, has not been
heard from. But even if denial should
be received from either side, there are rea-
sons enough Of an intrinsic character to
warrant us in holding this information to
be rather credible.
"At the end Of 1915, and particularly at
the beginning Of 1877, England WAS in
very bad situation, and even before the un-
restricted U-boat campaign threatened to
cut the tap-roots Of England's import trade
it is probable that the knowledge dawned
upon England that sooner or later it might
be compelled to wind up its whole war un-
dertaking, but under considerably harder
conditions than at that time it still hoped
to get. The business sense Of the English
saw that a bad business is not improved
by a useless prolongation; and they knew
we'll enough that the promised American
help would no longer suffice to change the
situation Of things.
"But Wilson had taken such lifs-and-
death hold of the idea that Germany must
not only be beaten but murdered that he
had to hold fast, merely for that reason,
to his policy Of the previous year and
half. His shameless wrestling Of the law
and his notorious deviation from neutrality
could find some sort Of justification only
in the halo Of an overwhelming victory.
For that reason the war had to be con-
tinued.
"At the same time he had allowed an
enormous debt of the Entente Powers to
be piled up on American soil, which would
have become worthless if England's peace
New-York tribune., 1918-06-30

"The newspaper goes on to tell OF the
failure of German propaganda in every
direction. War preparations have not been
stopped or seriously hampered. Much
was expected of German agents in America,
but their effort has proved, in the words Of
the 'Volkszeitung,' "a complete debacle. u"
Small defence of the German language
press has appeared except from the Ger
man language press itself. "The Mil
waukee Journal" comments on a recent
article in the "Wausau Wochenblatt,"
which indicted the whole of the English
language press of the country on the
charge of printing scandal, untrue news
and sports' German newspapers print
only the TRUTH" remarks "The Journal"
ironically.
"They avoid scandal and prizefghting.
They are journals of enlightenment, devot-
ing their columns to science and art. Mar
vellous indeed are the ways Of the German

guage spoken in America shall be Ger

'The San Francisco Bulletin" has dis
covered this German influence to be at
work particularly in the fruitful field Of
history
Perhaps" it says, "there could be no
more subtle German propaganda than
the teaching of history in such way as
to make the student believe that what
ever has been successful s right.
"If the crimes of yesterday are the re-
spectabilities of to-day the crimes of to-
day will be the responsibilities Of to-mor-
row; if the writers Of history confine them
selves to narration of facts and refuse to
pass moral judgments they must in some
cases leave their readers to infer that might

sWar produces ehauvinism in all coun-
.~es. But in the New World-which was
..ttled by the widest elements from the
did World, from whose pioneering activity
large measure of brutality and disre-
r.rd for all law have survived-~unusually
.arbulent phenomena have grown out of
,be war psychosis. Whoever on our side
,,,es to form judgment about present con-
Stions in the United States must further
,.ke into consideration the fact that, in
his war against Germany, it was happily
N eg0ing-on of the people, no old heredi-
,srv enmity that stirred up those passions
which, in the first years of the war, drove
me English and French in several cases into
tAe ugliest excesses. Neither the agitation
81 Roosevelt nor the preaching of Wilson
has hitherto availed in America to make
ihis war a peoples war. Nevertheless,
there has been no lack of the most turbu-
lent occurrences.
ave have already described how the most
respected leaders of the American nation
former members of the government, heads
of the univerities and ex-President Taft
have organized themselves for systematic
SOY hunt and batting of Germans. Mr.
Roosevelt declared a short time ago in The
Kansas City Star that no people should be
tolerated in the United States who are half
German and alf-American; and it must Re
required of every American citizen that he
be 100 per cent American. 1t should not be
allowed to speak any other language than
English; newspapers in any other language
should be prohibited; and immigrants who
fail in five years to speak English should
be banished. What kind of effect must be
produced upon the uneducated American
mob by such words from the ex-Presidert--
which are only one example from host Of
similar utterances-is obvious.
"In many regions, too, the people have
been thrown into highly nervous state by
means Of false and sensational reports, and
this has led to the practice of lynch-justice.
Lynching in forms not always ending with
the murder of the victim appears to have
degenerated into an epidemic The New
York Times of April Ia prints eleven cases,
one after the other. from the Western
States in which it was reported that Ameri-
cans, often through ridicuously trivial
causes, had gained the reputation OF being
pro-German and were lynched. Preachers,
teachers, laborers and women became vic
tins Of the senseless hatred Of the people
and were smeared with tar or yellow paint.
Every expression of wish for peace is
persecuted as German propaganda
"In Illinois, it appears, an unusually large
number of excesses have been committed;
the lynching Of the miner Prayer was re-
Gently reported from there. It was report
ed then that the Governor of the state had
called out the entire militia. Our supposi-
ton, expressed in connection with this
news, that it was not merely for holding the
mob in check that the militia was called
out, but to aid it in pursuing pacifists and
other opponents Of the national policy, is
