hearing on the economic sections of the
Versailles treaty the Senate Foreign Re
latiOns Committee got into a sharp ar
gument today over the League of Ma
tons, during which Mr.. Lodge the Chair
man. declared that repeated attempts to
secure information on the League from
President Wilson had been ~unavailing.
The President, he said, had never offered
to come before the Committee, but only
sent a telephone message saying he would
be glad to have the Committee come to
the White House. We have called for pa
per after paper and he has not sent one.
Mr.. Fall, Republican Senator for New
Mexico, remarked that the Committee
did see the President at the White House
on his first return from France, but
had failed to secure from him any inn
pOrtant information. The Democratic
members OF the Committee replied and
the argument became so sharp that the
Chairman had to rap for order. The
classes interrupted the testimony of
Mr.. Norman Davis the economic adviser
to the Versailles conference, regarding
the reparations clauses and was accept
ed by some Senators as a foretaste of
what may be expected when Lansing
appears before the committee to-mor-
row.

HIGH CHIEF IN AFRICA DECIDES
IN FAVOR OF THE CATHOLIC
CHURCH. <a.-ls,s,..s, r,

One Of the high chiefs of Kivou, in
the Tipped Kongo, has decided to be-
come a Catholic. He is the Sultan
Nya-Gesi. About forty years old, in
telligent and energetic, he has for a
long time been observing the work of
the missionaries. That he appreciat-
ed their talents he early showed by
entrusting to the priests the educa-
ton of his eldest son and successor.
When one of his smaller children fell
sick, he sent for Father and had the
little one baptized before death. This
good disposition doubtless resulted in
his own salvation. He finally over
came the obstacles that had prevented
him from taking the decisive step
He must, however, submit to a four.
years trial before he can receive bap.

DARK OUTLOOK FOR INDIA.

From a prelate in India comes this
letter, relative to the state of unrest
now existing there:
My poor priests have great diff
Guilty in keeping alive. Misery reigns
everywhere; the cost of food is excess
sive and medicines almost impossible
to get, in spite of the prevalence of
disease.
Political troubles are rife also. On
all sides one hears the cry of Home
Rule and a desire for change is in
the air, but to tell the truth, morality
and spirit of justice are far from be-
ing practiced by those loudest in
shouting fine sentiments.
How would home rule affect India
The Brahmins, who constitute the gov
erning and the educated class, may
preach the beauty of liberty, equality
and fraternity, but would they place
themselves on an equality with the OPP
pressed classes and forget their owr
interests in seeking the good. of all
Such qualities are. not, consistent with
Brahmin character faat VI $1..s-
FJust at present these lIordly mas
tefs are exciting the crowds with
lofty-soundings phrases, often. quite
meaningless, but capable of working

TWO ANGELIC APPARlTloNS.

The older of the two, Victoria, is
only ten. Her attractive little face is
frightened by eyes that shine like two
dark diamonds. But she has a serious
look, and you ought to see how severe,
even, her expression becomes when
Julia, the younger one-seyen years
old-chatters too loud in their sunny
| workroom. Julia is a miniature por-
trait of Victoria she has the same
winsome face, as everyone has who is
Epure-the same complexion, that of a
pretty wax doll in black; she has the
same engaging ways, though she is
l.li9elier than Victoria and even some
what mischievous. These two sisters
look like angelic apparitions in the
midst of their rather coarse and COM
mon dark complexioned companions,
writes Sister Berchmans in the Negro
Child.
| These two little girls are of the high
| est Malgache nobility and would have
! had far different career but for the
premature death Of their parents.
| Victoria remembers her parents and
something of her former life, and that
gives her serious outlook upon life
and imprints upon her countenance a
sadness very unusual in child of her
years. 20 s''
Julia, on the other hand, having
known only her present lot makes the
best of things and is always cheerful.
She follows an adage of her ancestors
without realizing it: many ny alma"
life is sweet Often, however, when
the severity of her sister gets on her
nerves and the rules of the house
seem like chain her outbursts of sill
very laughter are turned into sobs;
but sunshine soon returns.
The two little princesses have their
own troubles and they confide in each
other. The matter of their confidence
is very different, though. How charm
i ing their ingenuity and how touching F!
What draws them together thus is
their mutual tenderness and affection
lSerious Victoria asks herself how
Julia with all her giddiness will ever
be able to bear up under the trials OF
the future She trembles lest her lit
tie sister might be sent away from
the orphanage on account of her wild
ness. 81 ....

ters seriousness; she fears this viii
frighten away the love that otherwise
would light upon Victoria.
The angelic piety of these dear an6
precocious sisters is their mainstay
When they come from chapel, whence
they have told their troubles to theil
Big Brother, their faces are transfig
ured; worry has vanished from theil
countenances; the severe expression
of the older and the giddy look of the
younger have given place to sweet
serenity that invests them with al
most a halo. They return to theil
workroom like angelic apparitions il
the midst of ordinary looking blacl
children.

LIKE WOLVES ON THE FOLD.

China should be rich in priestly vo-
lions, because many of her Cath
liQs have shown a wonderful forti-
.ude in time of persecution and at
rack. Those who persisted in East
Epngolia at the hands of the Boxers
lid so in a manner worthy OF the ear
IS martyrs of the Church.
When the Boxers arrived in one viii
lage, furious at finding it deserted,
hey first pillaged it and then set fire
10 the houses. But their rage thirsted
FOR human victims, and it was an easy
matter to get on the trail of the peo-
pie, who, young, aged, strong or weak,
aad sought in body the shelter OF
the deep wood. Soon they perceived
the trembling flock and gloated over
it as wolves gloat over helpless sheep.
The leader of the Christians, seeing
that they we're discovered, said to his
companions:
Friends, our last hour has come,
Be courageous! Remain true to the
promises made at BAPTISM, The
Saviour who suffered and died for us
will not forget us. Let us offer up
our lives for love of Him. Courage!
Heaven will soon open to us!'' ..a
The Christians placed themselves
on their knees and began to chant in
a, loud voice the acts Of faith, hope,
charity and contrition.
The shouts of the Boxers drew
nearer. Some children began to cry,
but their parents Quoted them and
clasped them in their arms. The
pious leader, in a firm voice, began
10 chant the Litany of the Blessed
Virgin, and the response: Pray for
u.s. rose toward heaven from lips
soon to be stilled in death. The
scene was unspeakably solemn and
the Queen of Martyrs must have bent
rom her throne to listent.

f.oxers fell upon the kneeling Chris
