CARDINAL LUcoN WHO cLUNG TO
RUINED RHEIMS SHOWS PRESl.
DENT WILSON THE WRECK OF
GREAT CATHEDRAL.

An Associated Press dispatch, dated
Jan. 26, gave the following account of
President Wilson's visit to he devas-
tated regions of France:
President Wilson today made his
first trip to the battle front and dew
astated regions, visiting Chateau
Thierry and Rheims. At the close of
a tour that took him through a dozen
RACED villages, ending in the ruins
Of the historic cathedral at Rheims, he
made this comment
mo one can put into words the i'm.
pressions I have received amongst
such scenes of desolation and ruin"
Accompanied by Mrs. Wilson, Ad.
miral Grayson, and very small party
Mr.. Wilson left the Murat residence
early this morning. The party mo.
tored first to Chateau Thierry, where
lunch was taken on board a waiting
train. The Party then proceeded by
motor to Rheims, passing through
many ruined villages and along the old
fighting lines, where evidences of com
bat are still to be plainly seen.
The first fighting ground was
reached as. the party neared Belleau
wood, immortalized in the history OF
the war by the. gallant fighting OF
American marines. The motor cars
turned off the main roads and crawled
through back lanes to bring the Presi
dent close to the ground where the
fighting took place.
Looks at BelIeau Wood.
The country folk in that neighbor
hood are striving to reclaim their coun
try from wars desolation. The farm
ers were blowing the shell cratered
fields as the President stood beside
the graves of 100 or more American
boys who gave their lives at that point
and looked across the strategic valley
to Belleau wood, mangled mass Of
tree trunks and underbrush, but now
national monument to the marines
after whom the French Government
have named the place.
Then Mr.. Wilson drove up the hill
over which the American troops
smashed the crack Prussian divisions
mustered there to crush the green
horns" and where the advance on
Paris was checked This was near
Chateau Thierry Mr.. Wilson saw the
ruins Of bridges over which the Amer
leans thrust back the enemy line at
this nearest point to Paris and the
shell marked houses which survived
the battle of those memorable days
Before going to the cathedral he
passed through the streets of desert
ed city which was once the home OF
$4,000 people, but where less than
5000 are now eking out an existence
among the ruins. He visited Red Cross
canteens where hundreds of destitute
persons fed night and day, and the
hospital, where the sick and injured
are cared for.

ciety In Omaha.
lCatholic Bulletin.l

st. Paul has Joined hands with Ire
land in helping to extend the cause of
the Irish mission to China. Several
months ago Rev. Paul Waldron, pro.
fessor in the St. Paul Seminary, left
this city to take up work in the cause
of the Chinese missions.
While waiting news of his new work,
we have just received a letter from
Father Waldron informing us that he
is still at St. Columban's Mission
House in Omaha, Neb. He tells us
that he is actively engaged in spread
ing knowledge of the new work and
in arousing sympathy and interest
in it. He adds that some of
the missionaries expect to leave for
China this year, but that he will re
main working for the cause in this
country for some time longer.
Father Waldron was born in Agha
more, County Mayo, Ireland June 20
1888. His preliminary studies were
made in St. Mary's College, Rath
mines, Dublin, and in ST. Jarlath Col
lege, Tuam, Galway. He made his
course in philosophy and theology at
ST. Patrick's College, Maynooth, and
was ordained in June, 1914. He took
one year post graduate course on the
Dunboyne. In September, 1915, he
joined the faculty of the st. Paul Sem
mary in this city where he was pre-
fessor of moral theology.
The new seminary for the missions
in China was opened in Ireland in
January, 1918. 1t came into existence
as a result of the remarkable move
ment that began towards the end OF
1916, when number of priests in Ire
land volunteered for mission work in
China. They banded themselves to-
gether to form a society which would
devote itself to China alone. This so
ciety was economically erected in the
Diocese of Galway in June, 1918. After
two years existence the society now

students and more than one hundred
nuns who have volunteered for this
mission. Recently house of the so
ciety has been established in the
United States, in the Diocese OF
Omaha.
A monthly magazine, The Far East
is published in Omaha in the inter.
ests of the Mission. In general the
work of the society in this country is
to try and get American Catholics in.
terested in the conversion of China
This is done chiefly in two ways: by
bringing the Mission literature to their
notice, and by organizing a Crusade
of Prayer, which aims at getting as
many Catholics as possible to offer
prayers for the conversion of China.
To accomplish this some of the priests
of the society, including Father Wald.
ron visit various centers and endeavor
to make the work known. No ap.
peal is made for money, but interest
in the magazine, which now has cir.
culation of twelve thousand, and in
the Crusade of Prayer, is the sole OBJ.

Cardinal IS President
Wilson's Guide at Rheims
Cardinal Shows Cathedral.


Cardinal Lucon, Archbishop of
Rheims, who stood steadfastly by his
charge for four years, during which
time scarcely day passed without a
German shell hurting death into the
city, met the President at the fence
of rough boards which now excludes
curiosity seekers and incloses the rub.
bish into which this most historic edi-
flee has been reduced.
The Cardinal conducted Mr.. Wilson
to the nave of the cathedral, where in
1914 the Germans, during their short
occupation of the city, placed their
wounded, and then, being forced to
evacuate, burned their men to death
by incendiary shells that fired the roof,
but did not damage the vault.
All over the tagging, worn smooth
through the years by millions of feet
bringing Frenchmen to an hours de-
votion, were piled heaps of rubbish,
remnants of statuary and frescoes, and
fragments of columns and sculptures
| which were accounted the most per-
feet and complete examples of Gothic
art.
Snow Falls on Floor.
. AS the President and the Cardinal
stood together looking upward, while
the prelate briefly recounted the story
OF four years of constant destruction,
they looked straight through to the
clouded sky. The snow furry that was
covering the bare ruins of the city
outside also was laying blanket upon
the inside of the cathedral.
The chalky stone of Champagne, of
which the cathedral was built, is seal
ing off from the effects of German
fire, and the falling snowfakes were
mixed with an almost constant drop
ping of fragments. Pausing a moment
before the scene of the crucifixion
above the north door, and before the
painting of the coronation of the Vir.
gin over the central door, Mr.. Wilson
silently viewed the destruction wrought
upon those masterpieces by the burn
ing of the scaffolding when the Ger.
mans set fire to the roof of the edifice.
Ruins of statues lie about the side
door, and the great rose window, said
/! to be the most beautiful in the world,
where Field Marshal Won Moltke in
1870 sat and watched the sunset, is
| shattered by shell fire until it looks
like camoufage set up by the roadside.
AS they left the Cathedral the Car.
dinal gave the President stained
glass panel from one of the windows
| taken down in time to save it. The
panel is unsecured. It is circular and
| about three feet in diameter. It shows
figure Of the Saviour done in many
colored glass of the early centuries.
From the cathedral the President
drove to view the ruins of the town
hall, spacious specimen of the Re.
naissance style of architecture, and
the Palais Roya1e, an eighteenth cen
fury edif1ce. These two, with the
cathedral comprised the most cele.
brated historical memorials of RHEIMS,
and not one has escaped.

ANCIENT IRISH MSS.

- ANCIENT IRISH MSS.
Regarding the published statements
that great collection Of ancient Irish
MSS. had been destroyed in the Lou
vain library, the Franciscans in Dublin
state that so far as known there were
not many Irish MSS. in Louvafn.
The library in St. Anthony's, Lou
vain, was disturbed during the Napo-
leonic invasion. A considerable Dor
ton of it was preserved and trans
ferred to Rome, and in the year 1870
retransferred to the Franciscans, at
Merchants Quay, Dublin, where they
still are.
A considerable number of MSS.
were also dispersed amongst various
libraries in Belgium, including the
great Brussels library, the collection
in the latter including the celebrated
Mooney MSS, largely used by Father
Meehan in THE Rise and Fall of the
Irish Franciscan Monasteries." The
Franciscans never went back to LOU
vain after the Napoleonic invasion.
They saved all they could. There
were possibly some Irish INNS. in LOU
vain.

Bishop McNicholas, of Duluth, had
hardly entered upon his new work
when he sent to the American For
eign Mission Seminary at Maryknoll,
generous gift to start Diocese of
Duluth Burse. We quote from The
Field Afar these apostolic words:
1--WE are short of priests here, and
we are short Of funds to prepare young
men for the priesthood, but I am en-
tirely convinced that when there is
a shortage we must not hoard the
seed but plant it. It is simply Cath
Ollie to have an interest in the great
foreign pagan mission field, where op.
portunities for the Kingdom of Christ
are today perhaps the greatest in the
history of the Church. BY giving to
a cause more in need than our own
we will win from the Lord, in His
own good time, the material means
and the vocations necessary for the
diocese. It may take ten years to
complete the burse, but even If 1t
should, with Gods help shall keep
up my interest until the work is COM
pleted. Count on me to help you in
any way that can. shall be very
happy when the diocese of Duluth has
it's first priest ordained for your great
mission field of China.
JOHN T. McNICHOLAS, o. P.
Bishop of Duluth"
What follows is taken from letter
recently received by the Rt. Rev. Pat
rick ]. Hayes, chaplain-bishop, from
Rev. George Caruana, chaplain at the
Canal Zone:
II am just going to give you small
incident which happened at the Mid
night Mass on Christmas Day. The
altar was erected on the parade ground
against the Post school building, which
is surrounded by palm trees. A line
of electric lights was stretched around
these trees and they illuminated the
open space to good distance. The
regimental band took it's position on
the Gospel side and the choir on the
other. The soldiers formed semi
circle from one extremity to the other,
and we had the officers and their Ia
dies between the altar and the men.
There is little hill on one side Of
the ground and this was occupied by
the Catholic colored population of the
neishborhood, and they turned out
strong. The Chinese Catholic family
got in between the lines Of soldiers
and look Of surprise came over every
face as the whole Chinese family ad-
vanced towards the altar leading the
other communicates. They had such
a devout look on their faces that one
could not help feeling warmed up to
the treasurers of our Faith. I was
80 glad that there were many Ameri.
can soldiers present for 1t taught them
that the Chinese made as good Cath.
olics as anyone in the world. It was
lesson in the Propagation Of the
Faith, and maybe it will produce re-
suits in the near future which will
rejoice the hearts Of Mgr. Dunn and
Father Walsh. Their piety and de
votion formed quite contrast to the
blank and formal one Of the poor Porto
Ricans, most Of whom had not been
to Mass since last Christmas. The
old and new Catholics are very differ
emit from each other when exemplified

FREAK NAMES BANNED
BY SHIPPING BOARD

LOS ANGELES.-No more "West
Cajoots" or "West Katkans" or
ships with other freak names will
slide down the ways of Southern
California shipyards. according to
advices received here recently from
the Shipping board at Washington.
The names which have been ap-
piled to vessels launched in this
section have been the cause of con-
siderable humorous comment and
not a little derision. The shipyards
protested, with the result that the
Shipping board will name vessels
with "pure American" names.

BOATS
KEEP GUARD ON
GERMAN COAST

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN GERMANY.-The Germans have
organized two flotillas of torpedo
boats since the armistice, and these
constitute virtually all the warships
left in active service in the German
navy, according to information re-
ceived here.
One of these fiotillas is described
in "Mittschiffs," German naval
periodical which has reached the
American headquarters, as the Iron
Torpedo Boat Flotilla. 1t consists
of twelve torpedo boats which, the
periodical says, have been engaged
in maintaining order on the West
ern coast of Germany.
Some of the vessels of the fotilla
have been used on several occasions
for police work in the part of Ham
burg, doing duty guarding Allied
food shipments to the Czecho-Slo-
vaks and similar work during peri
DDS of disorder. The fotilla has
its headquarters at Wilhelmshaven.
A landing corps of about $50 men
is distributed among the twelve
boats, each of which has a platoon
of 80, commanded by naval lieu
tenant. The clothing and arms of
the members of this landing corps
are the same as in the infantry.
The other group of vessels, called
the Half flotilla, is supposed to be
doing similar work on the Baltic
coast, near the Russian boundary,
with headquarters in Koenigsberg.
The boats are armed with machine
guns, and in some cases with 81
centimeter guns as well. The flo
tilla was organized for operation
in connection with the East Prus-
sion Freiwillige corps and was until
a few weeks ago subject to the COM
mander of the Northern army.

the plan embracing a program which
will permit the residents of small
towns and remote hamlets to hear
the speeches OF eminent orators at
the same time that the records are
released in the large cities.
The photographic campaign was
scheduled to open this week, when
records containing utterances by
Attorney General Palmer, speaking
for the Democrats, and others reg
istering the speech of United States
Senator Lodge, voicing the senti-
ments of the Republicans, will be
released. These speeches will be
reproduced at clubs, societies head
quarters, churches, MONDAY meet
ings and in the homes of the party
workers.
Following the release of the
speeches of Attorney General Palm
er and Senator Lodge, other rec
ords will be distributed monthly,
and it is expected that the meeting
places and home throughout the
country will fairly echo and re-
echo with the words of the orators
as conveyed by means of talking
machines. The extent of the part
which monographs may play in the
campaign can be estimated by the
statement that two manufacturers
of the machines are known to have
more than 100000 monographs in
use in the United States.
Among the speakers scheduled for
photographic oratory by the Demo
cratic National committee are Presi.

ROAD TO NORMAL PRICES.

War and economics do not har-
monte. War results in economic
waste. War is economic waste. 1t
shoots wealth into the air 1t burns
up wealth or smashes it. Not only
is wealth wasted, but the produc-
ton of wealth for normal purposes
is diverted and slackened. So in
the great war lately ended, the
greatest war in the worlds history,
it must be clear that the economic
waste was enormous, so great as to
be almost incomprehensible.
Herein, says the Yakima Republic,
lies the fundamental cause of the
present high cost of living. For
more than four years the world en-
gagged in destroying created values.
In order to produce sufficiently for
that purpose it neglected to pro-
duce in sufficient quantities the COM
modities required for normal eco
nomic life. Hence in this period
succeeding war there is general
scarcity of such commodities. This
scarcity must be replaced by sur
plus food and wearing apparel
and other daily necessities before
prices can be expected to return TO
normal levels This is merely an
other way of demonstrating the
eternal applicability of the econom-
ic law of supply and demand.
The lesson of the situation is pro-
duction at capacity rates. Until
the producing nations of Europe
have recovered somewhat from the
effects of the war, the United States
will be depended upon to make up
largely the deficiency in the sup
plies of created wealth The United
States must greatly produce agri-
culturally, industrially and in every
other way. Strikes and lockouts
by slowing up production, merely
retard and hinder the solution OF
the very human problem of attain
ing comfort. Wealth must be pro.
duced in the mass and dividua
production must be stinS ed and
increased. The speed with which
the world returns to normal eco
nomic conditions will depend very
largely on unit production; that is
the quantity of wealth produce
daily by the average worker.
: If the nation will produce fol
: benefcent peace as earnestly as :;
produced for wasteful war, prizes
will return to normal within a rela
lively brief period.
