HYMANS SPEAKS
 FOR BELGIUM
Praises Gallant Work of the American Army During
 World War.

Brussels June 19-Belgium's grati- Jude for Americas work of relief during the great war and for the gall lant service of the American army during the last months of the conflict was expressed by Paul Hymans, for eign minister today on the occasion of President Wilson's visit to the Bel gian Parliament.
 Addressing Mir. Wilson the minister recalled proofs of Americas friend ship for Belgium which were given him when he visited the United States during the first few months of the war as a member of the Belgian com mission which inquired into German atrocities.
 Since then" he said Americans our country by acts of generosity, especially by the establishment of Belgian relief commission"
 M. Hyrnans paid a tribute to Her. bert Hoover, who acted as chairman of the relief commission; Brand whitlock, American minister to Bel gium; the American press and American women.
 "The result of these efforts of Amer tcans." he continued, was that the Belgian cause became the symbol of right. It won such parttsans of weight as Cardinal Gibbons, Dr, Charles W. Elliott, Premitus of Harvard; Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor and Theodore Roosevelt. Finally the American army crusading to Europe, took a glorious part in the common victory.
 Thanks to our liberal democratic constitution the Belgian people, un- der the leadership of our beloved dynasty, resisted the formidable at tack of the invaders. Belgium, after four years of occupation, bruised and weakened. is deprived of it's means of production, but is not discouraged and is confident of the future. Work CTS, busin essmen, scientists and art ists will cooperate on the work in constituting Belgiun's moral and in te1lectual life. They are convinced they may rely on American aid and friendship"
 M. Hymans spoke of the good will toward Belgium shown by the Ameri- can delegates at the peace conference and said that Belgium desired "a peace of justice and reparation.'
 Certain problems of vital import solved" he said.
 Belgium needs eff1cacious guaran- tees for her economic developm ent and security. She has decided to pursue them with perseverance and vigor, and relies upon the assistance of the allies to obtain these indis- pensable guarantees. Belgium will ardently cooperate with the league of nations having the moral author ity of a people that has suffered for the right

A TOUCHING INCIDENT
CARDINAL MERCER GIVEN INVAL.
LIABLE BOOKS AT CHICAGO.

The University of Chicago called a
special convention, the first in it's his
tory, to honor Cardinal MERCER with
the degree of Doctor of Laws. AS the
program was being carried out, Presi-
dent Judson asked for momentary in
terruption. Then President Gunsaulus
of Armour Institute stepped forward,
and in eloquence that brought tears to
the eyes of the audience, he related the
bereavement that came to the heart of
the Cardinal at the loss of the Library
of Louvain; and in attestation of abid-
ing love that the University of Chica-
go and Armour Institute would ever
have for the cherished Alma Mater of
the Cardinal, DR.. Gunsaulus produced
two priceless volumes, the proud pos
session of Chicago. From the Univer-
sity he gave to His Eminence the Cath
olicon of Balbus, printed in 1912. Only
six of these copies are in existence
From Armour he, gave a first edition
of Euclid. The gifts and the manner
of the giving stirred the Cardinal
deeply, and among the gifts which His
Eminence will bring to Belgium none
will be more welcome than these two
precious books from Chicago.

BISHOP FOGARTY
STATES THAT ENGLISH OFF
GALS ROB IRISH MAILS.

Mail addressed to Bishops in Ire
land is not only opened by the British
officials there, like the mail of any
other citizen, but it is even rifled of
any sums of money that it may con-
tain. This is made plain in letter
which has been received by Rev. Ed
mond O'Shea of the Church of the
Annunciation, Philadelphia, from the
Right Rev. DR.. Michael Fogarty, the
valiant Bishop of Killaloe, in County
Glare. Bishop Fogarty tells how the
sum of SITS was taken from a let
ter addressed to him. The money
was a subscription to the Irish ma
tional loan, of which the Bishop is a
trustee.
The letter reads:
"Your letter, and the two papers
have arrived for a wonder in these
piratic days, when every letter to an
Irishman with it's contents passes
into the pious pocket of John Bull
as did one of mine lately containing
check for $175 for the Irish loan.
"They-you know the 'they'-have
suppressed the loan, and are at pres
ent like mad bull in china shop
smashing up every paper in the coun
try, of Irish character, and clappins
Irishmen by scores into jail

new nations are quarreling
among themselves about bound
aries and privileges. Italy's side
is pierced by the thorn of Fiume,
Russia is drunk with the orgies Of
the revolutionaries, and Ireland
still stretches forth piteous hands
for liberation from the thraldom
of ages. Hunger, suffering, dis
ease still stalk abroad in the
ranks of men, and unruly souls
would overturn the established
laws of sane governments.
In spite of all, the world is
cropping towards the light. There
is CLEAN in the gloom and it
leads towards the full splendor Of
day. The world blow has been
very severe and the recovery
must needs be slow. Ii the final
outcome of the upheaval shall be
raising of the level upon which
the peoples of earth have lived
and struggled, then indeed will
the price have not been in vain.
Nations have come to know one
another Intimately, and they have
acquired a correspondingly high
er regard for one another. The
complete brotherhood Of man
may never be reached fully upon
this earth; but men have come to
look at their fellow mortals face
to face, rather than to gaze down
into the abyss or look aloft to the
heights that formerly separated
the children of the great human
family.

GA Practicing Physician"
writing in the London Socialist
organ, the DAILY Herald" on
the question of motherhood"
says: cit is not entirely with
out significance that the death
rate among children is nearly
everywhere less where the Ma
donna is worshipped than where
Professionalism has guided preju-
dice for any length Of time. 1t
may be but coincidence, but |
doubt it. In the slums Of such
cities as Liverpool the infant NOR
tally among the Roman Catholic
Irish is always very much less
than among their English neigh
bors. The same is true of the
Italians in the poor quarters of
London. [ am not suggesting
for moment that the only way,
or even the best way, Of promot-
ing race development is to spread
Roman Catholicism. But unless
we steal from the Catholics that
piece Of their religion which in
wolves a recognition Of the sane
tity Of the mother and the child
it is doubtful if we shall get very
far

FLIES THE CHANNEL
MULLiGAN IN DAILY FLIGHTS-k
OF c. TO THE END.

During the business of closing out
the welfare activities in the British
Isles by the Knights of Columbus,
which has just been completed, Will
liam J. Mulligan, chairman Of the Over
seas Committee, has been enabled to
transact his duties with dispatch by
using an airplane between Paris and
London. The Knights decided, with
the departure of the mine sweeping
division of the navy from the North
Sea, to close out their welfare work,
and Mr.. Mulligan made a dozen trips
across the channel via the air.
The Knights have taken unusual
care of the troops in Poland, according
to William P. Larkin, overseas direc-
tor, distributing wooden sweaters, muf-
flers, mittens, smokes, moving picture
machines and creature comforts with
the soldiers stationed there. Plans
were also made by Chairman Mulligan
to leave supplies on hand at various
headquarters buildings, so that dur
ing the winter months, although the
Knights will not be with the men, they
can draw upon these supplies. In
several parts of Europe the Casey
men have been located longer than the
A. E. F. on the chance of something
out of the ordinary developing which
would bring soldiers back into such
sections.

JAILS AND BULLETS.

The st. Louis Republic, one Of
the influential papers Of the
United States, prints the follow
ing:
"Blundering England - blum
dering particularly as far as Ire
land is concerned-apparently
has started on another Of it's fu-
tile campaigns to subjugate the
island. Raids, wholesale arrests,
machine guns and brutality are
again the order Of the day. There
IS only one way that England can
placate Ireland and still maintain
control, and that is by killing and
imprisoning about Is per cent Of
the whole population. Is she pre-
pared to do away with a couple
of million people whose only
crime is a desire for independ-
ence?
"The British inability to see a
joke is proverbial; their inability
to see serious fact is also likely
to become generally accepted.
Ireland does not want to be ruled
by England. She has been show
ing it in no uncertain way for
centuries. For hundreds Of years
her cry for independence has been
ringing through the British Isles.
Bullets, jails, gallows, racks and
wheels have failed to stite the
cry. It has grown in volume
decade by decade. England can
not stop it, and she ought to
know by this time that she can
not stop it except by giving Ire
land what she Graves for and
what she has a right to have I'm
der the doctrine Of self-determi-
nation accepted by England at
Versailles-herr freedom. "

PRIEST IS INTERPRETER
JESUIT SERVED WITH THE PEACE
CONFERENCE.

The Rev George F. Bailey, S. j.,
chaplain of the United States army,
and recently interpreter at the peace
conference at Paris, is in Spokane a
guest at Gonzaga university.
Father Bailey arrived in America
four weeks ago, after two years over
seas in active army service with the
American eXpeditionary forces. He
was professor at Gonzaga for several
years, previous to entering the army.
Father Bailey was one of the first
Catholic priests to volunteer for serv-
ices as a chaplain and entered the
service soon after the declaration of
war. He served with the combat
forces on several of the American bat
tlefields, and was in action number OF
times.
Selected as an interpreter for the
peace conference, Father Bailey at
tended that meeting and specialized in
the Slavic languages. His appoint
ment as interpreter to the conference
came as result of extraordinary abil
lily as a linguist. He speaks nearly all
| of the modern languages.

CzECHO-SLOvAK|A
ICATHOLIC NATIONAL PARTY OF

WORK.

The Catholic National Party of b.

uganda meetings throughout the
Czecho-Slovak countries. Special ora
tors have already visited LOO parish
es and spoken on the moral education
of youth. The meetings each voted a
resolution, protesting against a pro-
posed law which provides for the requi-
|sitioning of converts and other build
ings belonging to ecclesiastical admin
|istrations.
After the liberation of Slovakia,
when the Magyar bishops, who for
merly occupied five of the six epis-
copal sees of the country, abandoned
their sees, the Czecho-Slovak govern
ment Immediately approached the
Vatican to obtain their replacement
by bishops of the Slovak nationality
The Curia admitted the justice of this
demand, and the appointments have
been made, to the great satisfaction OF
public opinion.

CARDINAL AL1|ER|
ROMANS HONOR MEMORY OF
HEROIC SHEPHERD.

A touching tribute on the part OF
the people of Albano, Rome, was ten
dered recently when they unveiled a
mural monument there to commemo
rate the death from cholera of His
Eminence Cardinal Ludovico Altieri
Bishop of this suburban See, which oc
Cured i'll 1867.
In that year cholera ragged in AL
bano. The wealthy fled from the dio
cese into Rome, but Cardinal Alter
hurried from Rome to Albano to tend
his sheep after the manner of the
Good Shepherd. Day after day he
worked both as priest, doctor, dispen
ser of food, clothes and medicine
among his people.
At last worn out by his 1abors the
Cardinal himself caught the dreaded
malady and succumbed. BY the PEG
pie of Albano his named is still hello
in benediction, as their father ant
friend, after the lapse of a half cen
fury.

MAN WITHOUT A GOD.

In the documents seized by
government authorities last week
we find the dream Of foreign agi-
tators who have been trying of
late to inject their doctrines into
our people. The hope is ex-
pressed for "a magnificent, beau
tiful form Of Man without God,
without a master and free Of au-
thority.' This statement then
shows their moral creed:
"We hate religion because it
lulls the spirit with lying tales,
takes away the courage and faith
in the power of man, faith in the
triumph of justice here on the
real earth and not in a chimeri-
cal heaven. Religion covers
everything with fog-real evil be
comes visionary, and visionary
good a reality. 1t has always
sanctified slavery, grief and tears
and we declare war upon all gods
and religious fables. We are
atheists.
The public suspected as much
before, but it is reassuring tc
have such admission from the be-
levers themselves.
Man may, to some extent, live
without an open profession in re
ligion, as many Americans do to
day; he will not continue long
however, without general belize
in an overriding Providence, ever
though instigated thereto by atife
lists and anarchists.
| Ever since Lucifer declared, g.
will not serve, 1.-THE hatred fol
authority has gained adherence
among rebellious men the worl(
over The ! fallacyNof the Who'll,
proceeding is found in the fac
that as soon as such men gain tn
mastery In any given country o:
group, they set themselves up a
the highest and most autocrati
form Of authority. Only sterl
measures of the most drastic kline
are sufficient to deal adequatel,
with such enemies Of law and OF
der.

IN PORTUGAL
POPE WARNS CHURCH is NOT
BOUND TO MONARCHY.

The Holy Father, apprehensive over
the dangers that threaten the Church
in Portugal, has written to the Bish-
ops insisting on unity among the
clergy, telling the Bishops to send
their young clerics to the Portuguese
College in Rome, exhorting them to
encourage the Catholic press and to
advise moderation and foresight. He
shows them that the Church is not
committed to any one form Of govern
ment and views them all indiscrimi
nately so long as they do not fight the
divine law and the Church,
