STUDENTS 10 HONOR FocH
PUPILS OF JESUIT COLLEGES IN
}. AMERICA WILL PRESENT GEN.
ERAL WITH SWORD.

Very Rev. A. ]. Burrowes, S. j., Pro-
vincial of the Missouri Province Of the
Society of Jesus, has sent a letter to
the presidents of the various Jesuit
universities and schools of the prov
ince. Marshal Foch, leader of the AL
lied armies, is shortly to be received
into the French Academy. One of the
ceremonies of this reception is the
presentation of a sword to the new
Academician. M. Marcel Knecht, who
is a member of the French High Com
mission in this country and professor
in the University of Nancy, has sug-
gested to Very Rev. Joseph H. Rock
we'll, S. j., Provincial of the Maryland
New York Province, that the Jesuit
schools of this country present the
Marshal with this sword. Such a gift
would be quite appropriate, M. Knecht
added, because the Marshal himself is
an old Jesuit boy" having received
his education at the Jesuit College of
st. Clement at Metz; and besides, Mar
shall Foch's brother, Germain, is a
Jesuit Father of the Toulouse Prov
ince. All the Jesuit schools of the
United States have taken up the prof
| ect with enthusiasm.

HOLY NAME SOCIETY
CHICAGO HAS FIFTY THOUSAND
MEMBERS AT PRESENT.

!. From an organization of three par
ish. branches and about 500 member
ship the Archdiocesan Union of the
Holy Name Society of Chicago has
grown in little more than four years
into tremendous association of 140
parish societies, embracing approx
mately $4,000 Catholic men. This
marvellous development, most of which
has been. achieved in the past two
years, is directly attributable to the
interest in the Holy Name Society
shown by Archbishop George w. Mum
delein, D. D., and his zeal in urging
the extension of the organization into
every parish of the archdiocese. He
believes that this society represents
the ideal association for practical
Catholic men, and to foster the Society
and cause it to grow in membership
and strength he confided to its care
most practical religious work, the
aiding of unfortunate youngsters who
have begun to, stray, from the straight
and narrow path.

with officers and enlisted men.
Archbishop Cerretti, through his
secretary, Rev. DR.. Roderic McEachen
of the Catholic University of Washing
ton, gave out the following statement: ::
Il am happy, indeed, to be back in
America. 1 have come to represent
the person of the Holy Father at the
celebration of the golden episcopal
jubilee of Cardinal Gibbons. Before
leaving Rome asked the Holy Father
what / should say to the Americans
for him.
"'Tell them,' he said, that love
and admire them. Tell them that
love their ardor and spirit. Tell them
that I am in full accord with their
noble ideals and their high principles
of freedom and justice
"In Paris had the pleasure OF
meeting President Wilson. He was
very kind and simple in his manner
The Papal Envoy is said to have
stated that the appointments to var
ious episcopal sees in this country

A ROMAN anniversary
READING OF LETTER FROM BEN
EDIcT XIV RECALLED DAYS OF
POPE LEO XIII.

When the twenty-fifth anniversary
on the study of Holy Scripture came
to be celebrated recently in the Pom
tifical Institute, Rome, by an academic
reunion of seven Cardinals and a
large number of bishops, prelates and
priests, secular and regular, it almost
seemed as if the days of Pope Leo
were back again. The reading of let
ter from Benedict XIV to the vice
president Of the Institute opened the
proceedings, in which letter the Holy
Father regretted mot being able to
assist in person at the commemora-
tion." Then came an exposition of the
historic document and a, list of the in
stitutions that are due to the ency-
clical These are:
The Pontifcal Biblical Commission.
The School of ST. Stephen, founded
by the Dominicans in Jerusalem.
The Oriental Faculty in the Univer-
sity of Beyrouth, conducted by the
Society of Jesus.
The Society Of St. Jerome for the
spread of the Gospel.
The Commission for the Revision
of the Vulgate, which was confded
to the Order of st. Benedict. This
commission, of which Cardinal Gas.
quet is president, suspended work last
year because of circumstances induced
by the war. 1t is likely to recon-
mence shortly.
The Biblical Institute itself, which
was. founded in 1909 and confded to
the Society of Jesus.

the annals of American foreign mis-
sionary support. 1t has been noticed
quite generally by the Catholic press
throughout the country, and has
brought to the little Belgian commu-
nifty in Southwestern Minnesota an en-
viable reputation for foreign mission
ary zeal. The st. Eloi Burse has been
placed at the disposal of Bishop L.
Van Dyck of S. w. Mongolia; the pres
ent beneficiary is a sturdy Chinese
youth whose photograph, with a let
ter of thanks in Chinese and Latin,
has been recently received by the Dio-
cesan Director of the Propagation of
the Faith, and transmitted to the
founders of the Burse.
The fourth Burse for the education
OF native priests in the Missions was
raised by the members of the faculty
of the st. Paul Seminary. This $1,000
offering has already been placed in
the hands of the Right Reverend JOS
eph Freri, National Director of the
Propagation of the Faith Society.
Word as to its disposal has not yet
been received from Mgr. Freri.
Besides the above mentioned bene-
factions, and that chronicled for the
first time in this issue of The Catholic
Bulletin, the local Office of the Propa-
cation received another check for
$1,000 during the past year. The ad-
ministrators of the estate of the late
Mr.. M. Ryan of Minneapolis offered
that sum as stipends for as many
Masses to be said by needy priests of
the Missions for the happy repose of
the soul of the deceased
