Brief Reviews and Notices

From French Mascots to Their Amer
lean Godfathers. Published by the
American Red Cross, Paris. Price
twenty cents.
This booklet contains a number of
letters from French war orphans to
American soldiers who befriended
them. During the sojourn of our
troops in France a considerable sum
of money was collected among SOL
diers for the purpose of adopting
French children who had lost both
parents in the war. Many of those
unfortunates were placed in private
families, while others were given into
the care Of various institutions. The
letters make a token of grateful hom-
age from the little war waits to their
American friends. The booklet also
contains a list of the various units of
the A. E. F. and others who contri-
buted to the support of French war
orphans.

K. OF c. AGAINST POLICY
MOVE MADE TO PUT WELFARE
WORK IN CAMPS UNDER Gov
EMINENT CONTROL.

The Committee on War Activities
of the Knights of Columbus, in reso-
lutions passed at meeting in Boston
on Sunday, August 7, protested against
the proposed new policy of the War
Department to take over, as part of
the work of the army, the camp &C
tivities of the welfare societies.
This action was taken, it was said,
in answer to a suggestion from Colonel
Jason S. Joy, executive officer of the
Commission on Training Camp Activi.
ties of the War Department, that wei
fare societies cease all activities in
camps.
From our experience we can safely
say that the men in service welcome
the relief from war supervision and
military methods" said the resolu
tons.

A CHINESE DIPLOMAT
LU CHENG HSIANG CHINA'S DELE
GATE-CONVERT TO CHURCH
AND HAS WORKED UNTlRINGLY
FOR GOVERNMENT RECOGNI-
TON.

It is not generally known that LII
Cheng Hsiang, minister of foreign af
fairs, and the chief of the Chinese
delegation to the peace conference,
who has recently become prominent
in connection with the publication of
the treaties with Japan, is Catholic.
The omissions de Chine" published
at Pekin, gives an interesting account
of his life and work. Mr.. Lu is ma
tive of Shanghai and seems to have
been Protestant in his early years.
For a time he was attached to the
Chinese embassy to Russia, and was
afterwards appointed as the repre-
sentative of China at the first peace
conference at the Hague. He held
successfully the position of ambassa-
dor to Russia and Holland, and was
again present as the Chinese plenipo-
Tertiary at the second Hague confer
ence in 1907
He returned to China in 1910 and
it was during that year that he first
made the acquaintance of the Vincen-
IIcll Ill CHILL 1lc lC-
ceived his instructions in the Catholic
faith from the Vincentians and was
received by them into the Church be-
fore he again left Pekin, the following
year, this time as a special delegate
to st. Petersburg, to arrange for a re-
vision of the commercial relations be-
tween Russia and China.
While ambassador to st. Peters
| burg in 1898, he married a Belgian
| Catholic lady. Mr.. Lu since his con
version has worked untiringly to Sc
cure recognition for his religion by
the Chinese government, and much
of the favor shown to Christianity
since the establishment of the repub
lie is due to his influence. He is un
questionably one of the most distin
| guished Of modern Chinese states
men. The missions de Chine" de
scribes him as distinguished in ap
pearance, affable and gracious" HI
can converse f1uently in most Euro
pean languages.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Minneapolis, September 16, 1919.
To the Editor:
In the Pioneer Press of last Friday
at the head of the second column Of
the editorial page, | noticed little
paragraph which / believe deserves
some attention. 1t was a mean spir-
tied remark about the communion of
saints. The reference to the league
of nations may have been true enough,
but an editor in a Catholic city who
would so easily let slide from a big
oted pen such a gratuitous insult to
the faith of perhaps half of his read
ers must have very low opinion of
their Catholic loyalty.
That mans skull no doubt contains
some brains; but on the religious side
his ignorance is so dense that reason,
logic Or a rational exposition of the
dogma of the communion of saints,
would probably be about as useful to
him IS would the reading of Hamlet
to a lap dog. "Ffdo" or "Kewpie'
knows the value of soft rug or a
singing whip and never gets very
much higher. No doubt that poor edi-
tor knows the value of dollar in
many material measurements, and
perhaps the suIest and most effective
way to blast an opening for grace into
his complacent soul is by means of
the dollar argument in some form or
other.
If some of its many Catholic read
ers would quietly inform the manage
ment of that daily that they could dis
pense with the paper until the edi-
torial office had been fumigated of its
bigotry and irreverence, there would
be some result no doubt--some argu-
ment that might be within reach OF
the man who penned that stuff

CARDINAL MERCER
BELGIAN PRELATE HAS NO PAPAL
MESSAGE TO WILSON.

The American visit of Cardinal Mer-
cier, always a distinguished person
age, and rendered especially illus
trious by the events of the last five
years, is extremely gratifying to the
Holy See, as the closer understanding
and union between European and
American Catholics will mean also
closer union of all around the Pope.
However, no heed should be given
to stories that there is about Cardi-
nal Mercier's visit anything in the
nature of political embassy from the
Pope to President Wilson or to any
one else.
