VACATIONS NEEDED
DEARTH OF PRIZES EMPHA-
SIZED BY ASSIGNMENT OF
NEW FIELD TO JESUiTS.

The district of Pattna, India, en-
bracing the Dioceses of Allahabad and
Bettia, with a population of 100000
souls, of whom only 5000 are Catho-
lies, is mission field recently as
signed to the Missouri Province of the
Society of Jesus. The town of Patti
ma, situated some four hundred miles
inland on the River Gauges, is the
headquarters of the mission.
In spite of the great shortage. of
priests in the Missouri Province of
the Jesuit Order, which has already
compelled the abandonment of some
smaller stations, many men must now
be sent to the new post. This def
cheney of priests is not exceptional
nor local: it is the rule the country
over There is crying need of vo-
cations "The harvest, indeed, is
great, but the laborers are few Rev.
Maurice D. Sullivan, S. j., the first
American Jesuit to die in India said of
that mission field that if converted,
lone half a million priests would be
necessary to administer the sacra-
ments to the people of India

JUSTICE IN IRELAND
DUBLIN CASTLE MAKES THE JUS
TICEs POLICE SERVANTS.

Last August, after the business be-
fore the court at Lisnaskea, Ireland,
had been finished, all the magistrates
left the bench, with the exception of
Messrs. p Crudden, James Tierney
and James McManus
Mr.. Crudden then proposed and Mr.
McManus seconded the following res
olution:
THAT we, the Justices of the Peace
of the Lisnaskea district, knowing the
peaceful character of the people here,
and the good will and amity prevail
ing among all classes, deeply regret
the unwarranted action of the royal
Irish constabulary under the COM
mand of our district inspector on Sun
day, the 10th inst, in batoning our
children at Attyburn, and hope that
in the future such cannot occur
The resolution passed and some
time afterWard the lord chancellor OF
Ireland demanded an explanation
from the three offending" magis-
trates. Early in October, two of the
magistrates, Messrs Crudden and
Tierney, were notified by the lord
chancellor that their names had been
removed from the list of magistrates.

HELPING ARMtN|ANS K. c. KNIGHT SCHOOLS
TX. OF C. COUNTRYWIDE EDUcA-
TIONAL WORK UNDER Way

More than 5000 former service men
are taking advantage of the chain of
supplementary educational night
schools conducted by the Knights of
Columbus throughout the country by
The local councils. BY the first of the
rev year it is expected that the
schools, which are free to all men Of
the army, navy and marine corps, will
have a total attendance of $4,000
scholars. The following figures for
six cities give an interesting sidelight
on the popularity of the Casey
schools.
Boston 1856, Providence 5SS, Balti-
more 275, Buffalo S55, Jersey City
334, New York 655. The figures for
the latter city are low because the
opening of at least six schools has
been put off until the new year This
ice men to secure an education dur
ing the leisure hours after work is
separate from the council scholar
ships aud the award of $50 free scho-
larSllips to the returning soldiers. In
conjunction with this work the
knights in the six cities cited oper-
ate employment bureaus which place
at least $500 men each week. When
a soldier is found to lack proper
knowledge of bookkeeping, stenog-
raphy, or training for a certain me-
chanical line the knights send him to
school. The supplementary schools,
like the free scholarship awards, are
for all service men irrespective Of
their religious tenets.

PREVENTING BOLSHEVISN
ANTiDOTE AGAINST RADl-
CALISM.

What has already been accom-
in the few months existence Of their
technical schools gives promise of re-
suits better than which the Catholic
lay readers could not have anticipat-
ed
According to Mr.. John B. Kennedy,
the Knights have demonstrated that
it is no extraordinary thing to triple a
mans earning capacity within the
short space of nine weeks They
have taken boys who were SIS per
week shipping clerks before they en-
listed in the army; they have enrolled
these boys in an intensive camp
school course, and after nine weeks
graduated them as motor mechanics,
actually obtaining and making good
in jobs paying $45 per week. Now
they have twenty thousand officers
and men attending their camp
schools, and they teach a surprisingly
comprehensive curriculum"
Mr.. Kennedy, who writes in 'The
Outlook" says the Knights believe
that they found the real prevention
of exaggerated radicalism, known as
Bolshevism. They know that re-
ligion we'll practiced is the surest bull
wark against Bolshevism; but they
also know that economic satisfaction
derived from educational progress is
an excellent and formidable ally for
spiritual restraint. They are, to put
the thing in a phrase, teaching Amer
leans to take stock in their country
instead of knocking their country

RESENT ALL ATTACKS
BISHOP McDEViTT REFUTES CA
LUMNY-URGES CATHOLICS TO
COMBAT ATTACKS FREQUENT
LY MADE UPON THE CHURCH.

Addressing the members of the Cen
trail Catholic Club at st. Marys Ly-
ceum, Buffalo, Bishop Philip r. Nc
Dewitt of Harrisburg, Pa, effectively
refuted the old calumny that early in
the Christian era the Catholic Church
had contended that woman had no
soul. The Bishop urged Catholics to
tacks against the Church. which had
been circulated for centuries and
which are kept alive in our day by
the INSCRIPTIONS writer's and others
hostile to the Church.
The charge that a council of Bish-
ops in the fifth century spent two
days debating whether women had
souls and finally decided that they
are human beings, has been frequent
.ly made by anti-Catholic speakers
Bishop McDevitt declared. There is
a simple explanation of this charge;
to-wit, that the Frankish Bishop who
got up and remarked that woman is
not the same as man didn't know his
Latin
Bishop McDevitt pointed out that
the Latin word homo is applied with
out distinction to any member of the
human race. whether man, woman or
child. 1t is the name of the entire
genus and doubts Of a foreigner as
to, its application resulted in the ca
lumny which even today is repeated
against the Catholic Church.
The purpose Of Bishop McDevitt's
lecture was to point out method to
meet attacks upon the Catholic
Church The threefold mode of pro-
|cedure was: First, to ask those who
|misrepresent the history of the
Church to produce the proof of their
statements; secondly, to insist that
those who distort the doctrines of the
Church should define the doctrines of
the Church as the Church itself de-
fines them. Finally, to demand that
those who attack the Church should
observe the simple rules of right rea-
soning.

and happiness have come his way and
his clever pen has kept his finances
sufficiently healthy to drive away the
wolves of poverty. Watterson has,

edge of public men for over fifty years
has been unsurpassed.
Here's the way he begins the last
installment: Il was born in the

Roman Catholic Church, educated in
the Church of England in America
and married in the Church of the Dis

happened in this way: 1t was my

fond, affectionate Irish Catholic. The
little life was almost despaired of, SO
one sunny day, to rescue me from that
form of theologic controversy known
as infant damnation, the baby car

Surely, have never felt or have been

Surely Catholic would smile at
this silly account (says Father Irwin

Brief Reviews and Notices

THE CHURCH AND SOCIALISM.
BY Rev. John A. Ryan, D. D., pub
Iished by the University Press, Wash
ington, D. c.
This work by the eminent author
lty on sociology, Rev. DR.. Ryan, is
most timely contribution to the sub
ject of socialism which couples so
large prominence in the thought, of
the day. The book contains eleven
papers on such topics, as Church and
socialism, social reform, minimum
wage, birth. control woman suffrage
and other equally important matters
The value of this work lies in the
fact that it's author is deep thinker
field, and hence his arguments and
reasoning are based upon the sound
principles of the highest morality
Unlike so many so-called sociological
writer's, Dr.. Ryan has made a pro-
found study for many years of the
various problems that affect the So
cial interests Of the race. He pre-
sents the safe standards recognized
by Christianity as the only sane and
thorough doctrine to be accepted when
there is question of justice and equity
between man and man. This latest
work by Dr.. Ryan will doubtless prove
of the greatest value in guiding our
Catholic people Alright on such sub
jects, and at the same time in enlight-
ening those who are earnestly seeking
the true light and not merely the gilt
ter of popular and demagogical teach
ings.

What attitude does the Catholic
Church take towards capital punish
ment?
In the first place, the Church strict
" forhids her clerics to shed human
blood. For this reason. even in the
ages when the Inquisition was flour
ishing, the duty of the inquisitors was
simply 10 ascertain the fact OF heresy
and then to inform the state authorl-
ties who dealt with the hereto ac-
cordine to the laws of the state. AS
regards capital punishment in general,
the Church makes no pronouncement-
The writings Of the Fathers and the
olOgians. however, as we'll as many
MESSAGES in Scripture, seem to rather
favor such punishment when inflicted
by the proper legal authorities ana
for prieyous crime. The Italian writ
or Rpccaria, advocated the abolition
Of such punishment. and since his
time writer's here and there have been
found to favor discOntinulng THIS Sc
we're nenaIty. A few states IN TINS
country. as is known, have done away
with the penalty, to what advantage
is not apparent.

EUROPEAN ELECTIONS
HAVE EVERY REA-
SON TO REJOICE OVER RE
SULTS-EFFEcT IN BELGIUM,
FRANCE AND ITALY,

Belgium, France and Italy all held
general elections Sunday, November
Is. The Catholics have every reason
to congratulate themselves upon the
results.
In Belgium.
In Belgium it was not to be expect
ed, after the fusion of parties during
the war and the slight disagreement
over the Redistribution question
that the Catholics could retain their
old absolutely predominant position
but still they have come out with a
clear majority over the Liberals and
Socialists, and they probably :. will
form the ministry.
In France.
In France the main body of Cath
olicS, following the advice of the
Bishops, joined with the sound, hon
est Republicans in fight against the
revolutionary Socialists, whom they
utterly defeated, while they them
selves succeeded in carrying parlia
ment with sound and effective body
of statesmen, comprising some OF the
best known Catholics in the country
The old radical Masonic bloc has
been broken: and it is to be hoped
that this means a definite end to the
sectarian anti-clericalism, which has
been threatening French political life
for many years.
In Italy.
The electorate in Italy also defeated
the Freemason candidates, which con
stitute striking feature of the cleo
tons, particularly in Rome, where the
Masons made a special effort to elect
their men.
1t is remarkable that, whereas the
French Socialists we're overthrown il
the contest, their Italian brethren
have succeeded in electing 156 depu
ties. The new Catholic Popular party
however, has really achieved greater
success, having won with 102 candi
dates. These two parties thus com
prise more than half the chamber O
deputies. The success of the Catho
lies is enhanced by the inevitable re
suit, that present or succeeding min
stries, faced by combined Socialis
opposition, cannot count upon an eff
fective majority in the chamber with
out the support of the Popular party
The latter thus has magniticen
opportunity, if it remains united or
it's Christian basis to carry out the
work. which the foresight of the Hol!
See allowed it to form itself to dc
for the good of the country and fo1
the promotion of Catholic principles

CATHOLICS ARE ACTIVE
NEEDS OF TIME ARE MET ABLY
IN VARIOUS COUNTRIES BY
OUR CO-RELlGlONISTS

At the present time there is re-
markable activity going On in Cath
Ole circles in every European coun-
try, where Catholics are coming for
ward to take their full share in the
work of reconstruction. Since the for
nation of the Popular party the Cath
olics of Italy have taken a very promi-
nent part in social affairs. The same
thing is to be found in Holland, in
France, Switzerland, and in Belgium.
The Bishops and clergy of Austria and
Hungary are struggling against condi-
lions that are almost overwhelming,
whilst in Germany the Catholic Bish-
ops and their clergy have given their
people splendid example in working
hard for the restoration of the coun-
try after the devastating effects of the
war. 3
The trend of events in the British
Isles shows that Catholics are alive
to the need for taking their part in
the work of social reform. The splen-
did program of the Catholic Social
Guild, the wise counsels and states
manship of Cardinal Bourne, and the
continuous records Of Catholic activity
that appear in the public press, are
one more sign Of the serious endeavor
of Catholics everywhere to take their
part in making good the losses which
the world has suffered during the past
five years.
The success of the courses of social
study promulgated by the Italian
Catholic Popular party has aroused
much interest in Switzerland, and al
ready steps have been taken for, pro
noting a series of study courses along
similar lines.
