THE CHURCH in FRANCE

The writer admits, however, that
| 1.-The settlement of Catholic affairs is
more complicated, as the Holy See
forbade the formation of religious as
sociations' Gas provided in the Act OF
Separation) in France, and will not
permit their formation in Alsace." But
after pointing out that, in default OF
these associations" the property of
the Church falls into the hands of
Charity Commissioners" or in plain
terms is confiscated, he adds that mo
body could tolerate such spoliation
of the Catholics of Alsace on the NOR
row of their reunion with France
STRANGE to An American.
1t all seems so strange to traveller
from America where, except for few
cranky persons here and there, we
take religious liberty as a matter of
course. 1t is quite beyond me. Frank
ly, | am at times inclined to lose SYM
pathy with Catholics, who cannot care
better for themselves, but then I re-
member that in many other respects
the institutions here are not like those
at home. The ballot is not so direct,
public opinion is not SO widespread,
and independence is not SO much a
matter Of habit, while politics is far
more radical in it's issues. or at least
has been. We in America are all
agreed on our form of government, but
not SO here. The things most agitated
here were settled with us long ago.
The people of France-the masses, l
mean-scarcely ever think about tar
ifs or subsidies or division of power,
such as ours between Federal and
State governments, or most other lis
sues in American politics of the past
They are Monarchists or Republicans
ing an equally fundamental idea of
government that, perhaps because it
is SO radically important, claims their
unconditional support.
This complexities matters to a de-
gree that makes most every question
of French Government very difficult to
understand in the light of American
customs and ideals, and it eXcites
anew ones sympathy for the French
Catholics, many of whom, in spite of
Leo Kills Encyclical addressed to
them, have been deceived into believ-
ing that the Church is opposed to Re-
publican Government Naturally, since
coming in contact with large numbers
Of Americans who are deVoutly Catho-
lie while thoroughly republican, and
who find mutual helpfulness instead of
antagOnism between the two, they are
fast escaping their previous delusion;
and, if the Peace Conference will only
settle things, and ward off the menace
of BolsheVism, and give the people an
opportunity to think without having to
think for their very lives, the Ameri-
can example of Catholicism will grow
in it's impressiveness, and, by and by,
one ventures to hope, France will be
Catholic again.

LIAM MELLOWES
NOTED SlNN FEM LEADER IN
u. S.-A CLEVER LEADER.

One Of the picturesque leaders of
the Irish national movement, Liam
Mellowes, T. D. E., will come to Wash
ington for time to assist in the work
of the Irish Bureau. The It. D. E.
indicates that he is a member Of the
Irish Parliament, a distinction that is
carefully guarded.
MellOWes, mild-mannered man and
professor of history before the war,
proved to be one of the most elusive
of the leaders of the nationalist move
ment and did much to give the British
military occupation Of Ireland the
same ridiculous aspect that the adroit
Belgians, according to the American
minister, Brand Whitlock, gave the
German occupation of their country.
MelloWes was arrested and imprison-
ed, but not held under close restraint
He, with others, was compelled to re-
port every morning to the authorities
and sign their names. By the simple
eXpedient of finding a self-sacrificing
friend to comply with this formality,
Mellowes was able to make his way
to England, where, in spite of British
surveillance, he went on with his
work. He fitted about under the very
noses of the British officials, but not
once were they able to lay hands on
him.

LEAVES REQUESTS TO
INSTITUTIONS.

The Queen of Heaven Orphanage
of Denver was signally honored last
week by His Eminence, James Car
dinal Gibbons, who transmitted to the
Missionary Sisters of the Sacred
Heart a check representing his volun-
tary contribution to the building fund
Of the new orphanage
The Sisters highly appreciate this
gift not only because it comes from
the Cardinal, but also because finan-
cial help at this time, when their mag
nificent building is nearing compile
ton, means SO much to them.
Mr. Edward L. F. Johnson, formerly
of Denver, who died in Milwaukee,
June 16, in his will bequeathed 81 900
to the Queen of Heaven orphanage.
Mr.. Johnson also left the same
amount, $1,000, to each of the follow
ing Denver Institutions: House of
Good Shepherd, st. Joseph's hospital,
Mount st. Vincent's Home for Boys.
Mr.. Johnson was an attorney and be-
came successful mainly in real estate
A large part of the estate was left to

EAM0NN De VALERA
DOESN'T DRINK, SMOKE, SWEAR,
AND DlSLIkES HATS-IS A
DEVOUT CATHOLIC,

If the personality of Eamonn De
Valera, President of the Irish Repub,
lie, was disappointment to any of
lreland's friends in San Francisco, it
was not evidenced in the thunderous
reception he received and the ovations
which his every appearance since have
| evoked
| De Valera has the bronzed face of
the Spaniard, the deep brown eyes of
his fathers people, a scraggy mop of
black hair and serious, tired face.
| He is brilliant writer, but nothing
| of the spellbinding type of the out
standing Irish orator; yet he speaks
well, with bit of brogue that must
be music to many. He is tall, broad
shouldered and inclined to thinness
for man of his stature.
De Valera does not drink alcoholic
beverages. He does not use tobacco.
He does not swear. He does not like
to wear hat. He was a noted ath-
lete in his younger days
He is Catholic, but many of his asso-
ciates are Ulster Protestants. He
makes no distinction between men as
to creed. All he asks is that an
lrishman love Ireland with all his
heart and love her enough to help win
her independence.
De Valera, whose name is pro-
nounced "Dey-alera," was born in New
York State thirty-seven years ago. He
has six children. He is said to be an
accomplished mathematician His
father, Vivian De Valera, was a Span
lard and direct descendant of the
photographer to King Ferdinand and
Queen Isabella
De Valeras parents came to Amer
lea shortly after their marriage. They
had hardly become accustomed to the
new surroundings when the husband
suddenly died. Eamonn, then a child
OF two years, was sent back to County
Limerick, in his mothers country. He
did not see this country again until
his present visit.
Up to the time of the Easter insur-
rection in 1916, De Valera was virtual
ly unknown except to the scientists,
and particularly the mathematician.
He had become one of the foremost
teachers in the schools and universe
ties of Ireland, but his fame did not
travel beyond the scholastic enclos-
ures. He is also a poet and lin
guist.

SENATOR WILLIAMS SUED
SoUTHERNER ACCUSED ERIN'S
FRIENDS OF MAKING U. S. CATS
PAW-IRISH COMMITTEE RE.
PLIES.

The Friends of Irish Freedom of
Washington have entered suit for
$4,000, as balm for the singing re-
marks of Senator John Sharp Will
iams, of Mississippi, who took excep-
ton to resolutions forwarded by the
Washington branch of the Society to
the President and Congress, urging
defeat of the League of Nations be-
cause Ireland was not recognized and
compared the campaign of American
sympathizers to that of pro-Germans.
The letter in question reads:
81 have the communication which
you sent to the President and mem
bers of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee. AS well as / can make it out,
you are suffering from a sort of form
of dual allegiance, to-Wit, allegiance
to the United States, your adopted
country, and to Ireland, your native
country; and, led on by that dual
allegiance, you wish to make a cats
paw out of the government of these
| United States to pull these chestnuts
out of the fire for Ireland.
THE German-Americans wanted to
do that too, when this war started,
only they wanted to pull out the
chestnuts for Germany. My answer
is, Nay, Nay, Pauline
In reply w. E. Ryan, member OF
| the committee which presented the
resolutions, paid his respects in a
lengthy letter which said in part:
II am the son of a Union soldier who
died for his country in the rebellion
1S61-65, while you are the son Of &
rebel soldier, who tried to pull dowr
the Stars and Stripes, to disrupt this
union of States, and was particep:
criminis in accepting the aid of Eng
land in so trying to do"
Rosa f. Downing of the committe,
also replied: 81 am afraid that ag,
and infirmity have warped your natur
ally brilliant mind. Otherwise yol
i would remember that Washington
: and Jefferson pledged Ireland thi
country's aid in her struggle for lii
: erty, in return for helping America t
pull her chestnuts out of the fire."

NO Dull BOYS
KNIGHTS AT PEACE CONVENTION
IN BUFFALO WILL TAKE UP
GREAT WORK FOR YOUTH OF
NATION.

All work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy. That has held good ever
since the first Jack started to earn
| his living by the sweat of his high or
low brow. The Knights of Columbus
are coming to Jacks rescue, and to
Jlm's and Joe's, and Toms and Dicks
and Harry's. The Knights, realizing
| that the period of transition to the
ways Of peace spells limitless oppor-
tunity for young men of the nation,
are going to do their share towards
extending the hands of the nations
youth to grasp at opportunity.
At the Peace Convention Of the X.
OF e. in Buffalo, August 5, and Z, a
concrete program will be presented
by a special committee of the X. of
c.. Board of Directors.
1t is expected that the recommends
ton to the convention will take the
form of vast, free night-school plan,
the K. of G. Councils, of which there
are over 1000, forming the units of
activity. Practical and cultural
courses will be offered, and expert
"a oACooloAdI IldudSGlll6ut engaged
throughout.
Another great enterprise to be taken
up by the Supreme Convention of the
X. OF G. is the work of establishing
recreation centers throughout the
country. In Utica, N. Y, there is a
model K. of C. recreation center, with
every facility for athletic and gymnas-
tic events and for extra-educational
and amusement features. Many Of the
delegates to the Peace Convention at
Buffalo will visit the Utica X. of C.
center to witness the operation of the
ideal K. of G. public club. In Column
bus the Knights recently raised
$325,O00 for a center of this descrip-
ton. The club in Utica cost over
$150,000.

SNOW IN ITALY
COLD WEATHER RECALLS MIR
ACULOUS FALL OF SNOW.

A severe cold wave has been sweep
ing the entire province with a heavy
snowfall reported in the highlands
surrounding Rome. The inhabitants
have been forced to put on their win
ter clothing and fires have been
started in their homes.
The cold weather in a season which
is usually hotter than the tropics, re-
calls a legend dating back to the
fourth century, when the Blessed Vir-
gin appeared to a Roman Knight and
to Pope Liberius. They were COM
manded to build church on a spot
where snow would fall the next morn
ing, August 5. Accordingly the Basil
lea Santa Maria Maggiore, then the
largest church in Rome, was erected
and dedicated to the Blessed Virgin

ITALIAN POLITICS
CATHOLICS ARE A POLITICAL
FACTOR PARTITO POPOLARE
IN ITALY ONE OF TWO MOST
INFLUENTIAL PARTIES.

The state of party politics in Italy
there are numerous small parties,
consisting for the most part of little
groups held together by programs
which are little known or understood
by the mass Of the people, From
these divergent policies there appear
to be but two parties which have any
positive program; these are the So
cialists and the Catholics, the latter
having recently organized themselves
into a united party called the "Partito
Popolare." The main body of the
people is beWildered by the policy, or
lack of policy, of the Radicals, the Ma
tiona1ists, the Democrats, and the Re.
publicans, and the general impression
is that the general public has very
little interest in any of their political
programs, except those of the So
calists and the Catholics, which alone
appear to have planned a definite line
of action.
At Bologna the Catholic Popular
party recently held an important con.
gress. AS the conferences progressed
it soon became apparent that the con
gress was representative of two main
currents of opinion, one strongly con
sentative, the other distinctly liberal
and ambitious. Count D'Aci, who in
clines to conservatism, raised the
question of the temporal sovereignty
of the Pope, but the Marquis Crispolti
urged very vigorously on the meeting
that discussion Of the Roman ques
ton in the present circumstances
would be decidedly impolitic. The
suggestion was accepted by the meet
ing.
The two leading figures in the as
sembly were the learned friar ane
scientist, Father Gemelli, who ap
peared in the uniform of a surgeon
colonel in the Italian army, in which
| capacity he served during the war
| and Father Sturzo, Sicilian priest
who is well known as an orator ant
organizer. The Italian Popular part.
| takes the view that Catholics shoult
| no longer stand off from the politica
| life of the country, but that their in
| f1uence should be exerted to counter
act the designs Of the extremists, par
ticularly those of known Bolshevisti
| tendencies. The party is in no sens
officially a Catholic party, though it
activities are fully understood by tn
| Vatican, which has no official con
nection with any political movement
