CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY
NEW GYMNASIUM AND X. OF c.
ANNEX WILL PROVIDE CENTER
FOR ATHLETIC AND SOCIAL Ac-
TIViTIES.

The new gymnasium and K. of G..
annex in course of erection on the
grounds of the Catholic University of
America at Washington, D. c., will en-
body, when completed, the most re-
cent and practical ideas, both as re-
CARDS mode Of construction and dis
tribution of the various elements of
the general plan. Forming a very i'm
portant part of the very imposing
group of academic buildings enclosing
the university campus, and easily &C
cessible to all parts of the group and
to the public thoroughfares as well,
it's situation and general form were
determined largely by natural condi-
| tons of the site and of the peculiar
needs to be housed in the structure,
| which are expressed frankly and log
ically.
| Three distinct types of service will
be rendered by this building: First,
the university gymnasium, with all its
| appurtenances; second, the social or
ganization of university life, student
activities, societies, etc.; third, nu-
cleus for large jubilee gatherings, con-
ventions, academic assemblages, COM
mencements, etc.
The building impresses with it's
great size, we'll balanced proportions,
| and simplicity of plan. The flexibility
of the style employed, the Tudor
Gothic, makes it possible, while har-
monizing with the university group in
general, to incorporate practically IN
| der one roof the numerous and varied
featured characteristics of such a
! building. Most important, great hall
serving for indoor recreation for the
entire university body, this hall, 80
by 24O feet, free from columns,
spanned by huge steel trusses and hav-
| ing clear height in the central axis
I Of 81 feet, permits the free use of all
| the necessary space to be devoted to
gymnastics, class drills, calisthenics,
| the various games, basketball, indoor
baseball, tennis, handball, and the bat
| ting cage for winter baseball practice.
Freedom of circulation, ingress and
| egress, are secured from several ap-
proaches, and public exhibitions in the
nature of track meets, intercollegiate
competitions or other large public
gatherings are relieved of the posi-
bility of congestion.
An eight-lap to the mile running
track will encircle the great hall, spec
tators' tribunes and galleries are pro-
| vided, and an elaborate heating and
lighting system insure the comfort
and use of the large hall at all times.
Below the level of the main floor,
and connecting directly with it by
means of wide staircases, is the
ground floor containing swimming
pool, showers, baths, toilets. etc. and
the various smaller divisions devoted

later in assimilating every new ele-
ment of population.
'The Irish people has never been
intolerant toward it's minorities, and
has never harbored the spirit of per-
secution. Such barbarities as punish
ment by torture, witch burning, CAPT.
tai punishment for minor offenses, etc.,
so frequent in judicial systems OF
other countries, found no recognition
in Irish law or custom.
'The Irish have long been thor
oughly democratic people. Through
their chosen leaders, from O'Connell
to Parnell, they have provided the
world with a model of democratic or,
ganization in opposition to the domi-
nation of privileged classes.
ut is evident that, while Ireland is
denied the right to choose freely and
establish that form of government,
which the Irish people desire, no in
ternational order can be founded on
the basis of national right and inter
national Justice; the claim of the
stronger to dominate the weaker will
once more be successfully asserted,
and there will be no true peace.
1T must be recognized that Ireland
has already clearly demonstrated her
will. At the recent general elections
out of 104 constituencies (Trinity Col
lege, Dublin having the power to elect
two representatives. seventy-three re-
turned Republican candidates, and five
returned representatives who, though
free exercise of elf-determination by
the Irish people. Nor is there the
slightest likelihood that this right will
at any time be relinquished
Here it may be necessary to antici-
pate special pleas, that may be put
forward to the effect that Irish indie
pendence may properly be conceded
gradually, or as it is called breath
ing space ought to Intervene The
Irish people will regard any proposal
of this character as deceptive and
dangerous. They are thoroughly ca
pablo of taking immediate charge of
their national and international af-
fairs, not less capable than any Of the
new states, which has been recognized
since the beginning of the war, or
which are about to be recognized.
THE effect on the world of the res.
toration of Ireland to the society of
free nations cannot fail to be benef.
cial. On the part of the nations in
general, this fact will be guarantee
of the new international order, and a
reinsurance to all the smaller nations
On the part of England, if justice to
Ireland be not denied or delayed,
that fact will be an earnest to other
peoples, especially to those, whose
commerce is borne upon the Atlantic
ocean, that England's naval power is
not hostile to the rights and legitimate
interests of other countries"

TRIBUTE TO NUNS
PRESIDENT LINCOLNS ENCOMI-
UNI WILL GRACE NATIONAL
MONUMENT TO SISTER NURSES
IN CIVIL WAR.

When the monument to the nuns
who were nurses in the Civil War is
erected in Washington it will carry
on it's reverse side the tribute paid
by President Lincoln to the Sisters
in these words:
"''Of all the forms of charity and
benevolence seen in the crowded
wards of the hospitals, those of some
Catholic Sisters were among the most
efficient | never knew whence they
came or what the name of their order.
More lovely than anything | have ever
seen in art, so long devoted to illus
trations of love, mercy and charity,
are the pictures that remain of those
modest Sisters going on their errands
of mercy among the suffering and the
dying. Gentle and womanly, yet with
the courage of soldiers leading for
lorn hope, to sustain them in contact
with such horrors. AS they went
from cot to cot distributing the medi-
cines prescribed, or administering the
cooling, strengthening draughts as di-
rected, they were veritable angels of
mercy. Their words were suited to
every sufferer. One they melted and
encouraged, another they Gained and
soothed. With every soldier they
conversed about his home, his wife,
his children, all the loved ones he
was soon to see again if he was
obedient and patient. How many
times have l seen them exercise pain
by their presence or their words!
How often has the hot forehead of
the soldier grown cool as one of these
Sisters bathed it. How often has he
been refreshed, encouraged, and as
sisted along the road to GONZALES
cence, when he would otherwise have
fallen by the way, by the home mem
cries with which these unpaid nurses
filled his heart"

SUNDAY OBSERVANCE
:. IN THE NAVY
SECRETARY DANIELS ISSUES Or
DERS FOR A MORE GENERAL
RECOGNITION OF THE SUNDAY
AS a DAY OF RELIGIOUS REST.

An order by Secretary Daniels to
the navy for more general observ-
ance of Sunday as religious rest
day has just been promulgated. On
receipt of the news of this action at
it's meeting recently, the executive
committee of the general wartime
commission of the churches unani-
mously ordered the sending of a let
ter of thanks to the Secretary of the
Navy.
The new Navy Department general
order is as follows:
'In order to insure proper OBJ
servance of the Lords day in the
navy of the United States, and to
provide the officers and men with
rest and recreation so essential to
efficiency, the following order will be
carried out:
Hereafter all commanding officers
and others officially concerned will
see to it that aboard ships and on
shore stations to which they are at
tached, no work of any character
whatsoever is performed except works
of necessity.
This order will be construed as en-
bracing target practice and drills of
every character; inspection of ship
and crew, clothing inspection, issu-
ing of small stores, and all other ship
activities that violate the letter and
spirit of this order.
mo vessel of the navy shall begin
cruise on Sunday except in case of
emergency.
''In order to insure the regular per-
Torrance of divine services aboard
the vessels of the United States navy
and at shore stations, it is further or
dered that in no instance shall secu-
lar work be allowed to interfere with
the holding of divine services, and
that every possible assistance and en-
couragement be given our chaplains
in the conduct of such services.
"a suitable compartment or room
shall be designated for this purpose,
and properly rugged for the occasion,
and orderly quiet be maintained
throughout the ship during divine
service. The ships band shall always
be made available for use at divine
services.
when there is no chaplain at
tached to his ship or station, the COM
manding officer will arrange for and
give every possible assistance to any
naval chaplain in squadron or ada
cent, or available, who might be able
to come aboard for such purpose. In
case it is impossible to secure the
services of a regular naval chaplain,
it is directed that commanding Off
GERS, when practicable, invite compe-
tent clergymen from ashore to come
aboard and conduct religious serv-
Ices

IRISH REPUBLIC
TEXT OF OFFICIAL PLEA TO THE
PEACE CONFERENCE.

The text of the official plea of the
Irish Republic" to the Peace Confer
ence for recognition was made public
in Philadelphia last week by DR.. Pat
rick McCartan. 1t was brought to the
city by Sim Feiner, NJ. j. Boland,
who represents the republican move
nNent from County Roscommon. 1t
says in part:
ireland is a nation not merely for
the reason, which, in the case OF other
countries, has been taken as sufficient,
that she has claimed, at all times and
still claims to be a nation, but also
because, even though no claims were
put forward on her behalf, history
shows her to be distinct nation from
remotely ancient times.
For over 1000 years Ireland pos
sessed and fully exercised sovereign
independence, and was recognized
through Europe as distinct sovereign
state
1.-THE usurpation of the foreigner
has always been disputed and resisted
by the mass of the Irish people.
'At various times since the coming
of the English, the Irish nation has
exercised its sovereign rights as OPP
portunity offered.
THE hope of recovering its full and
permanent sovereignty has always
been in the breasts of the Irish peo-
pie, and has been the inspiration and
the main spring of their political &C
tivities abroad as we'll as at home.
English statecraft has long and
persistently striven in vain to force
the Irish people to abandon hope. The
English policy of repression, spirit
ually and materially, has never been
at rest from the first intrusion of Eng
fish power until the present day.
English policy has always aimed at
keeping every new accretion of popu-
lation from without separate from the
rest Of the nation and cause of dis
traction and weakness in it's midst.
Nevertheless the Irish nation, with
a vigorous consciousness of its nation
| ality, has always succeeded sooner or

BENEMCTINE ABBOT BLESSED
MUNDELEiN OFF,
GATED AT CEREMONY - NEW
ABBOT WILL ASSIST ABBOT
JAEGER-WORk OF BOHEMIAN
BENEDICTINES.

On Wednesday of this week in ST.
Procopius Church, Chicago, the parish
toner's and the Fathers and Brothers
of st. Procopius Abbey celebrated the
silver jubilee of the blessing of the
Right Rev. Nepomucene Jaeger, 0. S.
B., as the first Abbot Of st. Procopius
Abbey, which on July Z, 1914, was
transferred to the st. Procopius Col
lege at Lisle, Ill.,, from st. Procopius
Church, Chicago.
For more than thirty-seven years
Abbot Jaeger has been the active head
Of the Bohemian Benedictine Monas-
terry, having been economically elected,
and confirmed by the Holy See in the
year 1883, as independent prior.
The community having grown, the
Holy See raised the Priority to the
dignity of an Abbey, and the Prior,
the Very Rev. Nepomucene Jaeger, O..
S. b., was named the first Abbot of
the new Benedictine Abbey, February
II. 1894, by Leo XIII. The blessing
of the Abbot took place July 4, 1894,
on the Feast Of st. Procopius, by the
Most Reverend P. A. Feehan, D. D.,
Archbishop of Chicago.
AS of late his increasing age and
sickness have prevented him from at
tending personally to the duties of his
Office, he requested the Holy See to
name a COadiutor Abbot, with the
right of succession. The Holy Father
appointed the Reverend Father Kohl
beck. 0. S. B., who on July , received
his abbatial blessing at the hands of
the Archbishop of Chicago, Most Rev.
George w. Mundelein, D. D., in the
old St Procopius Church, where the
blessing of the first Abbot of ST. Pro:
copius Abbey took place twenty-five
years ago.
The new Abbot was born in Czecho-
Slovakia SO years ago; came to this
country as boy of 13 and became a
student of st. Vincent College, Beatty,
Pa, in the scholastic department. At
the conclusion of this classical course
he applied for admission to the Order
Of st. Benedict, was received, sent to
the novitiate and made his first re-
ligious vows July %, 1883. He was
ordained to the priesthood November
6, 1887, at st. Procopius Church by
the Most Rev. A. P. Feehan, D. D.
Right Reverend Abbot Nepomucene
Jaeger and his community have done
a good and effective work in the Arch
diocese of Chicago, especially among
their countrymen, the Czecho- Slovaks
in the several parishes in that city,
which the Benedictine Fathers have
in charge. But by the ablishment
of the Bohemian Benedictine press
and by the establishment of the Bohe-
milan college and seminary for the
Czechoslovak youth, their activity has
extended far beyond the boundaries of
the Archdiocese of Chicago.
The Bohemian Benedictine press
publishes daily, Narod; a semi
weekly, Katolik; weekly, Pritel
Ditek, which is Sunday school pa
per; a semi-monthly, Hospodarske
Listy, an agricultural paper. Besides
these there are several monthly mag
azines edited and printed for differ
ent Catholic organizations; and the
Bohemian books used in the Bohemian
parochial schools, as we'll as other
books, which are being published for
the education of the CZecho-Slovaks in
this country are printed in Chicago.

impart a knowledge of rights and du-

In a less formal way, the knights

which plans were Immediately ap-

concrete application.
Under this plan other excellent
schools for young war veterans now

is the most singular auto-mechanics

auto-mechanical terms, into capable
manager of any motor, even the most
recalcitrant. Scores of young men are
availing themselves of this oppor-
tunity to learn a steady and useful
trade. Many already have been placed
in positions where they have found
their pre-War wages doubled.
