K. OF c. IN DUBLIN
COMFORTABLE QUARTERS FOR
VISITING SOLDIERS.

The Knights of Columbus are now
conducting a clubhouse in Dublin for
American soldiers who, enjoying a
furlough, visit Ireland. If they have
relations in ireland, soldiers are al
lowed fourteen days leave of absence
to visit with them, and they usually
go to Dublin first, and K. of G. club
house is greatly appreciated by them.
The new clubhouse is a four-story
brick structure at 30 FitZwilliam
street, and twenty beds are at the
service of visiting soldiers every
night.
Cigarettes and other K. of c. crea-
ture comforts are always available,
and visiting doughboys find plenty of
entertainment awaiting them there.

SYMPATHY FROM SPAIN

The Cardinals, Archbishops and
Bishops Of Spain have addressed to
the Archbishops and Bishops of Mex
leo letter of sympathy, voicing their
grief at the wrongs which the Church
has suffered in Mexico under the Car
rama regime. They also point out
how all international right, personal
liberty and established justice have
been outraged by the de facto gov
ernment enthroned in Mexico with the
cooperation of the United States.

The idea of absolutism did not dis
appear with the Roman Caesars: it
celebrated its revival in the Byzantine
rulers. While the Pontifs at Rome
continued their struggle, without re-
spite and without wavering, against
the absolutism spreading out its arms
from Constantinople, the Orient. in
separating itself from Rome, sue
cumbed to the almighty power of the
State. In the embrace of the State
the Church was degraded to the rank
of maid and hence it is that the
Russian-Greek Church has accom-
plished nothing socially and cultur-
ally, while the people dropped off
into that stupid sleep of death, from
which the Bolshevistic revolution has
now reused them.
Temptation to Emperors.
The recollection of the practically
unlimited political power Of the Ro-
man emperOrs ever constituted a dan
gerous temptation for the German
emperOrs and the occidental rulers.
Many of them yielded to this tempta-
ton. Thus the aim OF the HOhen-
staufens. Of q Barbarossa, of a Fred
erick II. was the re-establishment of
the ancient State OmnipOtence, Of an
absolutistic world empire But the
POpeS were the guardians of the free
dom of the nations: the names of
Gregory VII (073-1085), Alexander III
1159-118D, Innocent III 119S-1216).
Boniface VIII 1294-13O3) denote the
more important epochs in this gigan-
tic struggle. Inspired by the same
ideal Pope Innocent X 0644-1655)
voiced a protest against the treaty of
Westphalia, because the peace dOcu-
ment contained the absOlutistic prin-
ciple that the ruler could determine
the religious adherence of his sub
iects. Il am happy" writes DOellin-
ger, that one man could still be found
in Europe at that time who filed a pro-
test against the peace of Westphalia
in the name of God and of Christian
conscience, and that this man was no
one else than the bearer of the SUI
preme ecclesiastical office on earth"
Peace Efforts Of Benedict XIV.
Inspired by the same thought a
Pope, Plus VII (1800-1823), opposes
the despot Napoleon, Plus TX (1S46-
1879 struggles with a Bismarck, and
Plus X with the Jacobin regime in
France for the preservation of the
rights of conscience of Catholics.
And was it not Benedict XIV, who.
when the waves of martial enthu-
siasm still rolled high in the war
ring countries, raised the cry for
peace and did not let it weaken?
Was it not he who laid down princi-
pies by which a peace founded on JUS
tice could be obtained?
The refusal of the Popes to permit
themselves to be degraded into court
chaplains of absOlutism has earned
for them an abundant harvest Of
hatred and vilifcation on the part of
those who courted the favor Of
princes; it has also earned them an
undying claim to the gratitude of the
people Of all nations for having taken
on their shoulders the heavy yoke Of
the service of liberty. And thus,
ignoring all other considerations, they
merit a title to participation in the
League of the Peoples of the World.
This is the opinion of the entire Cath
olic world.

THE ITALIAN CRISIS
PONTIFF URGES cALMNESS IN
DISTURBANCES

No official utterance was made by
the Holy See regarding the critical
situation that arose by reason of the
departure of the Italian delegates
from the Paris Peace conference, on
account of the Adriatic dispute. The
only recent document issued by the
Vatican was a letter written by the
Holy Father to the Franciscans across
the Adriatic, urging them to practice
and inculcate moderation, in both lam
guage and action, when feeling is apt
to run high.

The opponents of the Catholic
Church have succeeded in preventing
the participation of the Holy See in
the establishment of a League of Ma
tions and of peace. Yet no sovereign
and no State has a greater right to
seat in the council of nations than
the Pope, none a better authorized
mission than he to deliberate on and
to help accomplish a League of Ma
tions. To support this contention we
do not need to base our claims on the
position of the Pope as the Shepherd
OF mankind given him by Christ Him
self, nor on the fact that he is con-
sidered a sovereign by so many States,
including even such as are nOn-ChriS-
tian and nOn-Catholic. The right of
the Holy See to cooperate can be
proven historically also; it can be
deduced from the events recorded on
the pages Of history. II was the
Popes who, before even the scantiest
outlines of international law were
known, applied the principles which
are now the basic ideas of the Law of
Nations, and who sought to promote
the principle Of arbitration and per-
manent peace. 1t is to these achieve
ments that attention should be called
at this time, says the Central Bureau
Bulletin.
Claims of the Papacy.
An age which like the present is
torn with social storms and social
changes has a special interest in
knowing whether Or not the Papacy
has merited the right to sit in the
council of the Nations, even if past
merits of other powers are not con-
sidered a prerequisite for participa-
ton. Of all the powers in the world
none has less reason to dread such
an examination as the Papacy. If the
stormy spirits of the age assume
credit for having done away with the
absolutism of the princes and the
States, and for having paved a way
for democracy, they are really lag
ging behind in the race, for the
Papacy is found at the head of the
| fighting line in the struggle for the
freedom of the people against the alb
solutism of the rulers and the Omnip
| otence of the States, which fain
would impose arbitrary laws on the
| people War was declared against
State omnipotence in all its forms in
| the command: Thou must obey God
rather than mem" and by the same
dictum mankind was delivered from
an incubus which would have smoth
cred and destroyed all life. The
| Papacy has waged this war, and it is
| its undying glory that it has done so
| With the same cry: Thou must obey
God rather than mem" the Popes OF
the centuries of persecution took UP
the struggle against the Roman
Caesars They fell under the sword
of the eXecutioner Or were torn asun
der by the jaws of the wild beasts in
| the Circus, but the idea for which
they sacrificed their lives remained
victorius.

CHURCH AND COUNTRY.
Cardinal Gibbons. discussing the
Knights of Columbus, laid particular
stress on the Orders war relief ac-
tiyities in these words:
Cardinals Statement.
Your organization is looked upon
with the greatest favor in France,
where thousands upon thousands OF
the young men of this country who
went to fight for America and demOc-
Tacy still remain. The reason lies not
only in the fact that the work Of your
organization was along efficient, prac
tical lines, but because of the manner
in which the work itself was done and
the human, personal touch that was
put into it.
American soldiers were made to
feel that the cigarettes, candies, food
and the many conyeniences that were
furnished by the Knights of Columbus
really came from hOme-were sent by
the fathers, mothers, brothers and
sisters. All that was furnished to the
boys by the Knights of Columbus was
furnished without charge.
Nothing was sold to them.
They appreciated this, and that ap-
probation will make itself felt keenly
when those boys return.
1t was indeed fortunate for the
Catholic Church and for America that
such an organization as the Knights Of
Columbus existed when the war came
to- America Otherwise the work of
looking after the Catholic boys who
joined the colors would have been a
most perpleXing task.
AS it was, the Knights stepped into
the opening. Their organization
formed the basis for the machinery
necessary to accomplish that impor-
tant work.

O COOK

Paris, Feb. 20 (by mail).-Hugh o..
Cook, colored Y. M. C. A. secretary,
who has been in France for many
months with the 371st Infantry (col-
ored), has been recommended for the
distinguished service cross. Mr..
Cook was a member of the faculty of
Lincoln High School, Kansas City,
before he joined the army Y. M. G. A.
The colored regiment to which he
has been attached is one of the many
United States units which were
brigaded with the French. 1t has
achieved a splendid record and has
been praised in orders issued by the
French commander, General NJ. Coy
bet.
THE colored boys of the 371st were
not used to actual war when they
came to France said General Goybet,
but they performed splendid service,
nevertheless"
Side by side with French veterans

to this action the regiment was in
the Verdun sector. At the time of
the armistice it was in the Vosges
preparing for further offensive.
During all these arduous weeks and
months, Mr.. Cook served the colored
soldiers "gallantly," to use the word
of one of the white officers of the
unit.
Mr.. Cook was gassed during the
Champagne offensive when he tried
to keep the boys in the trenches sup
piled with hot chocolate, tobacco and
other comforts.
Within a few weeks he expects to
be in Kansas City again, where he
will join his family at 2436 Montgall

sume his work as an instructor at the
Lincoln High School.
Col. P. L. Miles (white), comman-

RED MEN AND RED CROSS
Why Indians Broke Their Traditions
in Giving Weird Ceremonial Dance
in City of Southwest.

That war and rumors of war should
reach even our most retired Indian
tribes is natural enough, but the fact
that the mission and the meaning of
the American Red Cross have pene-
trated to them is unexpected. Not
only the letter of the word, but also
the spirit of it has been grasped and
accepted. Wentworth G. Field, in
'The Red Mans Red Cross" in the
Red Cross Magazine. says:
"There appeared in Santa Fe some
of the few surviving Cochiti chiefs,
bringing with them their war bOnnets,
dancing moccasins, their paints, their
ceremonial blankets and, strangest of
all, their katcinas, the g~rOtesque,
highly painted doll images that play a
most important mystic part in cere-
monial dances. They said: we have
come to dance for you here in your
palace of the governors. We do not
want money for it. We want you to
make much money and give it to the
Red Crossr
"Next night, with the moonlight
flooding the courtyard, they gave their
weird. beautiful Cochiti ceremonial
dance. Out of love for the Red Cross
they had broken their traditions and
Travelled weary miles to add their mite
to the cause"
