to Discuss Event to Be Held
Here in October.

Plans for a big demonstration by
the Catholic people of Washington in
October were discussed at a series of
meetings last night in the various
parishes of the city by the Holy Name
societies, under whose auspices the
demonstration will be held.
The intention is to have a great VIC
tory pageant in honor OF the cause
commemoration of the large number
of its membership who paid the su-
preme sacrifice in the world war.
The largest meeting was held at
Holy Trinity Church, the new hall be-
ing crowded with members anxious to
lend their aid in making the great af-
fair a success from every point OF
view and also to prepare to give the
returning soldiers and sailors of the
parish a big blowout in September.
The meeting was addressed by the
Rev. John G. Geale. s. j.. pastor of
Holy Trinity. who told Of the glory of
the Catholic man in the war. the needs
of unification in the spiritual recon
struction Of the world and the abso-
lutte need Of the laymen in UNFOLDING
the dignity Of their faith and eSpe-
cialIy was il time for members Of the
Holy Name Society becoming the
strong arm of every Catholic parish.
He pointed out the danger that con-
fronted the church in the future
through socialism and its allies. and
pointed with pride to the bull issued
by Pope Leo twenty odd years ago in
regard to the dangers that beset the
world through socialism. and said that
if that advice had been followed this
menace would have been nfpped and
blotted out but the Catholic church
alone preached against the evil. the
rest of the allied Christian churches
remaining mute.
The meeting was also addressed by
Mr. John Hadley Doyle. president of
the Maryland Archdiosesan Union,

demonstration in October and also
