BELGIAN REFUGEES
LEAVE ENGLAND FOR RUINED
OMES-SCHOOLS OPENED TO
PROTECT FAITH OF CATHOLIC
REFUGEES IN PROTESTANT
LAND ARE NOW BEING CLOSED.

The last of the Belgian refugees in
London are leaving, and Bishop de
Waechter has written letter of
thanks in his own name and that of
Cardinal MERCER to the British peo-
pie for their reception and hospitality
towards his people. He thanks all,
Catholic and Protestant alike, rich
and poor, and especially those who
have enabled him and his priests to
keep in touch with the refugees dur
ing their exile. Particularly does he
offer thanks to the Catholic Women's
League and the Superior Council Of
st. Vincent de Paul.
The Belgians still deserve all the
help and sympathy that can be given
them. Theirs is sad homecoming,
for many are going back to contem-
plate ruined and desolate homes, and
to find themselves destitute, where
before the war they were flourishing
families in comfortable circumstances.
One such family, Catholics, who
walked eighteen miles on a Sunday
in order to hear Mass during their
exile in an English country place,
where the nearest church was nine
miles away-a family of tWenty-siX
members, father, mother and twenty
four children, who have celebrated
their silver jubilee Of marriage while
they were in England-are going
back to Lierre, where thirteen hun
dred houses are burnt or shelled be

CATHOLIC GERMANS
CHAPLAIN EXPLAINS FRIENDLY
FEELING TOWARDS
AMERICANS.

An American Catholic army chap
lain, Father G. Lacombe, writes thus
of his experiences in Germany:
Our men are far more at home in
Germany than they were in France.
The population declare openly that
they look upon us as their deliverers.
How explain this? There are those
who claim that the German propa-
ganda is still subsidized and still
strongly organized, and that their
aVoWed preference of the Americans
to the English and French is another
piece Of clumsy propaganda. | per
sonally think the answer is more fun
damental. | think the answer is to
be found in history.
The kulturkampf of 1870 burned
deeply into the lives of these people,
to whom religion is dearer than life
itself They are organized along re-
ligious lines, and the simplicity and
thoroughness of their religious life is
an example to all of us. Every day
the village assists at High Mass. They
stay for my Mass and sing their sweet
hymns. They are at BenedictiOn at
nightfall. They have the rosary at
bedtime.

THE 151ST AND OTHERS.

\ thrice hearty and patriotic
welcome to the men Of the 151st
Field Artillery! The wonderful
help which they afforded the
forces of democracy in combating
the perils that assailed her has
placed their names imperishably
upon the scroll of American hero
ism.
From the day the old First
Minnesota, now the 15lst Field
Artillery, went forth to uphold
the traditions of American free
dom, the people Of this city have
eagerly scanned the daily press
for news and information regard
ing the conduct and the exploits
Of this famous regiment. Every
report-and the reports were fire.
quent-confirmed the opinion al
ready held that the Minnesota
boys would do far more than their
ordinary share Of fighting.
Hence the grand welcome which
St. Paul and Minneapolis extended
to their conquering heroes last
Thursday was at best but a slight
token Of appreciation cherished
by those at home for the work and
sufferings Of the men who battled
so valiantly at the outposts OF
democracy. New York may have
her fighting SiXty-ninth, and
| Massachusetts her fearless NINTH
but the pages Of American history
will ever bear witness to the fact
that Minnesota in the great wal
had her 151st Field Artillery.
1t must be remembered that in
the festivities this week the Twin
Cities desired to express THEN
admiration and gratitude not only
to this famous regiment but tC
every soldier, sailor, marine anC
army nurse who went forth from
our midst to assist the nation il
it's hour Of peril. Every one Of
these valiant men and women gave
proof that they were cast in ar
heroic mould. One and all they
have deserved well Of the nation
and their names shall ever be
enshrined in the grateful memory
of the State Of Minnesota.
Once more, a heartfelt and deep
| ly grateful welcome to the 151st
Field Artillery and to the others

HELP THE FOREIGNER.

One Of the truly patriotic acts
which every citizen could perform
is to he'll p the foreign-born investor
to keep his Liberty bonds. Such
an act will do much towards
strengthening the confidence Of
the foreigner in our institutions.
There never was better time for
the native American to prove a
genuine friend to the foreign-born
man or woman who is not familiar
with the language, customs, and
practices in the United States
than now, when he or she should
be warned against the get-rich-
quick stock being offered in eN-
change for Liberty bonds and war
savings stamps. The manipula-
tors Of this kind of stock can Of
tentimes make an easy appeal to
the foreign-born bondholder be-
cause he has heard much and long
about the money possibilities lat
ent i'll this country. Foreigners
who have been visited by loyal
American bond selling committees
in the past are going to be unable,
in nearly every instance, to distin-
guish between these citizens and
the Well-trained salesman Of a
stock concern trying to fleece the
, man with Liberty bond.
The abuse of the gradually built
| up confidence Of the thrifty for.
eign-born in American bonds
would bring more than financial
loss. 1t would permanently con
fuse his hope and belief in Ameri-
can ideals which led him to invest
his carefully boarded dollars. II
the practice should become wide
enough, this exploitation would
have an injurious effect on the
AUGMENTATION efforts being car
ried on today in practically every
State Of the Union.

gard Of every law on the statute
book and not make an effort to
turn aside such a torrent of evil ?
The powers Of the state do much
to lessen public and external evils !;
they cannot reach the heart. God,
who is all-powerful, insists that
the laws laid down in the statute
book of Mount Sina, and in the de-
crees of His Church shall be OBJ
served, or their violation will be
punished. God has been outra ICED
by His creatures in spite Of the
sacrifice of His Son. AS God He is
the Being vilified; as God He has
the power to punish the offender
against justice; as God He has let
loose an avalanche of misery upon
the earth as a warning of the pun
ishments in store for those who
continue to disregard His man
dates.
There is the reason that explains
the widespread anguish, misery
and grief that have invaded the
lives of men. We call it war and
the result Of war: the Saints style
it the avenging justice of an out
ragged God.

CARDINAL BOGG|ANI
PALLIUM IMPOSED UPON CARDI-
NAL BY THE HOLY FATHER.

There was a great gathering of the
faithful from Genoa on the Feast OF
the Annunciation in Rome. The oc-
casion was the solemn imposition of
the Sacred Pallium by His Holiness
on the new Archbishop, Cardinal Bog
giani. His Holiness said Mass in the
Pauline Chapel of the Vatican for the
visitors from his birthplace, and dis
tributed Holy Communion to many of
them-the larger proportion, how
ever, were clerics. After Mass he i'm
posed the pallium with customary
solemnity, and later received them all
in the Consistorial Hall, when Car
dinal Boggiani, on behalf of the Arch
diocese, thanked him, saying what a
happiness it was to Genoa to receive
the Archbishop thus from the hands
direct of the Supreme Pastor His
Holiness expressed his own pleasure
at the same fact, but, drawing augury
from the day and from the known de-
votion of the Genoese to Our Lady.
asked whether it could not be said
firstly that through the hands of
Christ's Vicar the Genoese had truly
received their new Archbishop from
His Mother.

A SOLDIERS WILL

In payment of debt of gratitude
to the asylum in which he found a
haven and where he was reared and
educated Peter Dominic, who was
killed in France in the Battle of the
Argonne, September 2S, gave one
third of his estate to the st. Paul's
Catholic Orphan Asylum at Pitts
burgh.
That he made a success of life
after he left the institution is evi-
denced by the amount of his estate,
which is estimated to be worth more
then $4,000 This is disclosed in his
will, filed for probate in Pittsburgh.
Before going overseas Dominic
made his will, providing that his
estate be distributed between the asy.

DEATH OF FATHER HUGHES
SUPERIOR GENERAL OF TIE
PAULISTS SUCCUMBS>-P HYSl-
CAL BREAKDOWN AFTER ARDU-
Gus WORK CAUSES DEATH.

Very Reverend John J. Hughes,
Superior General of the Congregation
of st. Paul the Apostle, died in a
hospital in New York early last Tues

been unconscious for several days
previous to his death. About six

breakdown brought on by overwork.
Father Hughes was born December
6, 1856, in New York City. His early
education was obtained in the public
schools and in ST. Francis Xavier Col
lege, New York City, where he was
graduated in 1878. He was ordained
to the holy priesthood, as a member
of the Paulist Community, in 1884.
He founded and edited the Monthly
Calendar for twenty-three years. I'm
der his direction, with the hearty ap-
prevail of Archbishop Corrigan, the
Catholic Converts League of New
York was started, and up to his death
he was one of it's Vice Presidents.
Father Hughes was Father Minister
under the administration of Very Rev.
erend Father Hewitt. He was also
assistant Superior to the two former
Superiors General, Very Reverend
George Deshon, and Very Reverend
George M. Searle. On July 20, 1909

ST. LOUIS UNIVERSITY
TRIUMPH FOR CATHOLIC MEDI
CAL SCHOOL.

An extraordinary proof of efficiency
in the medical department of st. Louis
University is contained in the exam
ination statistics published in the
April 10 number of the Journal Of the
American Medical Association. All
the greater colleges and universities
are there included, and each aspirant
to the NJ. d. degree was listed by the
respective state boards according to
the school where he had pursued his
studies. Throughout the list all the
schools, with very few exceptions
showed some degree of failure; the
medical school of st. Louis Uniyer-
sity was credited with a perfect
record The Jesuit Fathers who con-
duct the institution have for decades
kept the school on an equal footing
with our greatest non-sectarian uni
versities, and nationwide reputa-
ton for excellence is but strengthened
by the present success.

Archbishop Hayes, on May 8, were
mailed to every Catholic chaplain in
the service of the United States army
and navy, they being requested to at
tend in full uniform. The Archbishop,
who is Bishop Ordinary to the Ameri-
can military forces, was host to his
present and discharged chaplains,
whose expenses were betrayed by him,
at a special dinner given in their
honor in New York, on May 8. In ad-

of which Chaplain George Waring is
chairman, to take charge of the en-
