CHRISTMAS IN CHINA
AMERICAN MISSIONARIES Ex-
PEcTED TO CELEBRATE THE
DAY IN CANTON.

A cause for great rejoicing for the
Sulpician Fathers at st. Mary Sem
mary, Baltimore, was brought by
a recent letter from China, stating
that the first American Missionary
Band ever to leave the United States
would offer up Mass on Christmas Day
at the Catholic Cathedral, of Canton,
China. This band is composed of four
priests, of whom two, Rev. Thomas
Frederick Price and Rev. Bernard F.
Meyer, are alumni of st. Mary. A
third member of the group, which set
out from Baltimore in the early fall, is
Rev. James E. Walsh. Father Walsh
received the degree of master of arts
at Mount st. Mary College, Emmits-
burg, Md, and was ordained to the
priesthood as member of the Ameri-
can Foreign Missionary Society,
Maryknoll N. Y.

IN THE UKRAINE
CONDITIONS FACING CATHOLICS
ARE OF A SERIOUS NATURE
CHURCH is NEAR VOLCANO.

In the Ukraine the conditions facing
nature, though not of so menacing
character as those prevailing in Rus
STA. From the GodZing Polski, a re-
putable journal, come these details on
the situation of the Catholic Church
in the Ukraine.
ment, within the boundaries of the
Ukraine Republic, two Catholic did,
ceses, the one at Loutsk and Jitomir,
the other at Kamenetz-Podolsk and
certain portions of the archbishoprics
of Lublin, Grodno, Mohilev and Tyra-
pol. To these latter belong the Cath
Ollie communities of Odessa, the Cri-
mea and Kherson, into which come
many Germans. Without reckoning
the Podlachie and the country of
Cholm (where the majority of the
Ukraine population is Catholic), the
Ukranian States possess more than
million Roman Catholics. The pos
ition of the Catholic Church is not as
| difficult there as in Bolshevik Russia.
1t is not, however, normal and clear.
The Church is on the edge of vol
cano. However, the Catholic clergy
| and their Bishop Dohowski work en-
| ergetically and with great endurance
to consolidate Catholicism in the coun-
| try. They visit the faithful, organize
new parishes, found schools, etc. The
Catholic press is being developed:
since the new year a monthly review
has appeared at Kiev, the Slovo Ka-
tolicke, written by Abbot Kalinowski.
The clergy demand from the Govern
i ment that they return to the Catho-

ed by THE Orthodox Church"

owing to it's proximity to the Over

located, was especially active in CIV

Wilson. Educational problems are to
be considered in the beginning.
The nativistic tendencies mani
tested by the National Council of De,

for our parish schools.
The strong position taken by the
knights of Columbus, in regard to the

OF INTIMIDATION
AND THREATS FIGURE IN CAMP
RENNING CASE IN ATLANTA
FEDERAL COURTS

Atlanta Ga, April 30.-At hear
ing yesterday before Judge Newman
in the United States court, counsel
for sixteen landowners who plaintiffs
in a petition involving land prices at
Fort Benning, near Columbus, and
government attorneys reached ter
tative agreement providing that land
owners who had begun crop would
be allowed to continue operations
unmoested, unless some special
emergency for taking over the acre
age should arise.
Judge Newman further expressed
an opinion favorable to the appoint
ment by the court of an appraisal
board which would determine the pro-
per valuation of the lands condemned
the findings of this board to be sub
ject to an appeal to jury.
The allegations of the landowners,
who represent something like 10000
acres of the 100000 acres included in
the Fort Benning reservation, and
whose claims are denied in to by the
government, described a condition Of
turmoil and unrest that has existed
in ChattahoCchie and Muscogee coun-
ties since the camp was first propos-
ed, then abandoned and finally gotten
under way.
Intimidation and threats of ar
bitrary eviction, the setting up of
fake" rifle ranges designed solely to
brighten tenants from their premises
anonymous letters mailed to negroes
and warning the recipients that the
government had the power to seize
their property at will, were some OF
the measures alleged to have been
employed, with the result, it is alleg,
ed, that farm labor deserted the COM
munity, and population of nearly
5000 were in fear of closing their
horles with no place to reestablish
themselves.
Speaking for the government, I'm
