erected diocese Of Lafayette, La, has.
selected for his Vicar General Very
Rev. J. NJ Langlois, pastor of St.
Peters Church in New Iberia, Ia,
one of the ablest priests in that new
jurisdiction. Father Langlois has WIS.,
tied Minnesota a few times. and met a
number of the priests of this diocese,
who will rejoice at his promotion, His
uncle, Father Langlois, who died a
few years ago. at St. Martinville, La,
was quite an authority on botany.
How broad was the culture of the
late Archbishop Ireland was shown
when. upon the nephew being intro
duced to the Archbishop, the prelate
asked him at once whether he was re-
lated to Father. Langlois, the writer
on botany, and whether he was faith
full to the studious traditions of the
uncle.

CATHOLICS AND THE GREAT WAR

bus, who had done welfare work for
all soldiers regardless of creed in the
mobilization along the Mexican border
some months before, decided to spend
over million dollars doing the same
thing in this war. The sum was then
raised to $3,0OO,OOO, but the Govern
ment requested that the work be made
general, and by the time the demobil-
ization has been ended something like
$50,000,000 altogether will have been
spent. Over $50 buildings were erect.
ed in American camps and over 500
secretaries were sent to France before
the war ended, while about 500 addl-
tional will be working there soon, car
ing for the boys until they return.
When they return, they will find the
K. of C. going with them right into
civil life and continuing welfare work
there, for it is proposed to open vo-
cational schools, etc., to help them in
every way possible, together with the
other youths of America.
The Catholic laity and priesthood
were organized as never before in
their history to assist the November
| United War Work Drive which netted

Rockford, ILL.,, spent several months

war have comprised the establishment
of Catholic Red Cross rooms all over
America, the opening of hostess houses

ters, where relatives could meet SOL
! diers, etc.
In other countries, Catholics were
as eager in helping along victory.
/ Ireland, Catholic country, gave

She beat our record by almost 100 per

| In all other nations, Catholics were
found in the first ranks. The gener-
alissimo of all the Allied-American
forces was Marshal Foch, fervent
Catholic. Marshals Petain and Cas-
telnau of France are also good Catho-
lies. Numerous Italian officers are
Catholics. Over 10000 priests, many
as common soldiers, served for France.
In fact, Catholics won this war, They
were overwhelmingly superior in num-
bers to all other creeds in the allied

WORK OF CATHOLIC WAR
COUNCIL.

That Catholics are more than any
other creed responsible for the win
ming of the present war, because
they were overwhelmingly superior
in numbers to all other creeds in
the allied and American armies, is
the statement made in an article
which appeared recently in the Den
yer Catholic Register. In part the
article follows:
Catholics have stood true to their
American history in the great war
now being closed. So splendidly did
they come to the aid of their coun-
try in the Revolution that George
Washington himself especially COM
mended them in an historic letter, and
it was declared in the British Parlia-
ment that the Irish had set America
free. In the subsequent wars, notably
in the civil strife, they were found in
large numbers. The work of Catholic
nuns as nurses in that struggle was
gigantic. In the Spanish-American
war, Catholics enlisted SO strongly
that the A. P. A. movement, one of the
most notorious proscriptive campaigns
in the worlds history, was killed. In
the present war, Government author.
tiles put the Catholic proportion of the
American army above 35 per cent.
and the Catholic proportion in the
Navy is known to have been about 40
per cent. Still, we form only 20 per
cent of the entire population.

HITCHCOCK ISSUES STRONG
STATEMENT THRU LEAGUE
TO ENFORCE PEACE.
IS IN COLD STORAGE
SAYS RATIFICATION WILL BRING
ABOUT REDUCTION IN COST
OF LIVING.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.
(ey EDWARD B. clARk.)


Washington, ID. c., Aug. Ex-senator
Hitchcock, leader of the supporters Of
the treaty with Germany In the Sem
ate Committee on Foreign Relations,
has issued the following statement
thru the League to Enforce Peace:
"The treaty ratification situation
changed somewhat during the past
week. A new issue was raised when
asked the chairman Of the Foreign
Relations Committee and majority
members when they proposed to get
action.
with number of senator's. There
has been growing demand for action
by the committee. 1t has had the
treaty since July 10. For five weeks,
therefore, the treaty has been In cold
storage without vote or any other
action.
"The Senate Is waiting, and the
country Is waiting, and the impatiencs
In increasing. Everyone knows that the
enemies Of the treaty and opponents
Of the League of Nations control the
committee Everyone also knows that
they do not control the Senate. Pub
lie sentiment resents the suggestion
that the opponents Of the treaty might
keep II locked up In the committed,
and this greatly delays ratification.
"When / raised the issue In the com-
mittee, It became manifest that sew.
sral Republican members were 0p-
posed to further delay and SO an IN
dsrstanding was reached for voting.
Since then several days Of additional
delay have interviewed, but we hope to
begin voting In committee this week on
proposed amendments. We ought to
get the treaty reported back to tho
Senate In week or ten days.
ut is Of little importance what the
committee does as long as 1t does
something, II 1t recommends amend
ments. the Senate will reject them. II
1t mutilntcs the treaty, the Senate will
cure the damage done. The chief harm
that the committee can do is In caus-
ing delay.
Everyone now realizes that we are
still suffering from war, ana that the
first step toward relief is to ratify the
peace treaty. The Presidents address
served to arouse the country to the
importance Of treaty ratification a.
one Of the steps necessary to reduce
the cost Of living.
He has very properly connected the
high cost Of living with the war. He
has shown that we cannot get rid Of
war conditions and war evils until
peace comes, with Its normal condi-
tions.
HE has shown that the first step
that must be taken is the ratification
Of the treaty. In pointing this out and
In taking the leadership In movement
to reduce the cost of living, the Pres
ident has brought the treaty much
nearer to q vote"
