GEORGETOWN PREPARATORY
AFTER HUNDRED AND THIRTY
YEARS IN CITY SCHOOL
MOVED TO COUNTRY.

The new Georgetown Preparatory
School on the Rockville Road, Garrett
Park, Nd, will open on September Is,
1919, and is said to be one of the fin.
est schools in this country. For 13O
years the school has been located on
the university grounds. The regents
nave urged that the removal of the
school was necessary, in order to
carry out the plans for the develop.
ment OF new departments of the uni
versity. They also insisted that the
proper mental, moral and physical
training of the boys required a coun-
try school removed from the distrac-
tions of the city.
An appeal for funds was made and
generous response came from the
alumni, especially from the class of
,69. The contributions enabled the
regents to erect and equip the new
buildings.
The last catalogue of the university
shows enrollments from every State
IN the Union, and from eleven foreign
countries. The applications indicate
that the preparatory school will have
the cosmopolitan character of the
university.

10000 MEN ATTEND CLASSES.

A class of nineteen fully qualified
chauffeurs graduated from the K. of

Camp Dix, New Jersey, early last
week. They are some of the three
hundred men, including the major gen

have known if they had quit the army
when their discharges could have been
obtained, without taking advantage OF
the technical courses offered by the
knights.
In Camps Devens, Dix and Upton
the Knights are now operating schools
that rank with some of the best bust

civilian field. None but service men
attend these schools. Numerous dis

new ALIEN BILL
NEW DRASTIC MEASURE INTRO
DUcED BY HOUSE COMMITTEE
BILL HAS STRONG TEETH.

A new method of dealing with the
incoming alien problem is embodied
in drastic bill. introduced last week
by Chairman Johnson of the House
immigration Committee.
Adoption of the bill would mean, it's
trainers say, literal fulfillment of the
so-called ''gentlemen's agreement" be-
tween the United States and Japan,
with respect to immigration, and
would keep out Japanese coolies.
Under the Root-Takihara agreement
Japan is obligated to send no coolies
to this country, but, it is charged, the
records disclose their arrival by the
thousands, with passports, as mer-
chants, students and the like. Once
in this country, it is alleged, they re-
main, send for picture Brides" raise
families and their children become
citizens of the United States by right
of birth.
Chairman Johnson says that the re-
quirement providing that aliens land
ing at American ports must have pass
ports with a time limit, will break
up the great inflow of foreigners. The
bill provides that aliens, coming with
in exemption clauses of the present
law, must obtain passports from their
own governments, vised by consular
agents of the United States and linn
tied as to time.
Also, aliens, who under present laws
are eligible to citizenship, would be
permitted to come to the United
States without passports, providing
they state in writing their belief that
they intend to reside here and become
citizens. They must agree to regis
ter at least once year, failure to do
SO being a cause for deportation. Fail
ure to take out first papers at the end
of two years residence is also cause
for deportation.

own work, to value that work as the
highest charity.
In thesCatholic. parish school there
is remedy for the evil that is sap
ping the nations strength" Arch
bishop Ireland referred to it in this
eXhortation, which every Catholic par
ent should read:
Let us speak the patent fact AS
the effect of the exclusion of re-
ligion from the schools in America,
America with all it's material progress,
is on the road to what at best is cul-
tured paganism. God and Christ are
being crushed out of the lives of it's
citizens, because God and Christ are
being crushed out from the school
rooms into which are thrust the child
hood and the youth of the land
Then, if you wish that your men
and women of the future be valiant
Catholics, put your children into Cath
olic schools; help to maintain and
develop those schools. The Church
knows we'll its needs; it pauses before
no effort, before no sacrifice, to bring
to all it's little ones a Catholic edu-
cation. Catholic parents, send your
little ones to Catholic schools. Cath
olics, all, take deepest interest in the
work of Catholic education, whether
or not your children are it's immediate
benefciaries.
ct is the Church that makes the
appeal, for her own sake, for her own
life, for her own welfare. Let us care
for the Catholic children of today; the
morrow of the Church will be pro
vided for in America. Let us neglect
Catholic education; the future of the
Church in America is to be despaired

irish CAPUCH|NS
CAUSE OF IDENTIFICATION HAS
BEEN ADVANCED.

News has been received by the
Provincial of the Irish Capuchins that
the investigation held by the Sacred
Congregation of Rites in Rome into
the cause of Father Fiacre Tobin, a
native of Kilkenny (who died in 1850,
and Father John Baptist Dowdall, an
fisherman (who died in 171O, has
been satisfactorily concluded.
The names of these Capuchins
were omitted from the list presented
to the Archbishop of Dublin for in
vestigation in the ordinary or informa-
tive process opened by him in Decem-
Der, 1903, and concluded in 1904. In
response, however, to petition from
the Provincial of the Capuchins in
Ireland, the Archbishop on June 4,
1917, instituted a distinct process to
investigate their causes. The evidence
thus collected was sent to Rome, and
after full consideration has now been
pronounced sufficient to establish a
prima facie case in favor of their
claims to be called martyrs.

twisted and broken car. Nearly every
bone in their bodies was broken. and
their faces were badly disfgured.

pursuits. The women are being or
ganized to carry on their domestic
work efficiently. The Council is send

for making clothes of which they are
in desperate need. From these CEN
ters the work radiates into the ad-
Joining region.
Reports show that the French wom-

and are taking up the work promptly.
From Brussels the statement comes
that the cooperation of the Belgian
women in the women's social service,
established there by the Council, has
been of the highest type.

INCIDENT is RECALLED WITH Re-

The following incident is timely at
this season of the year:
How shall that building be filled
in the future?" asked a non-Catholic,
looking at the Cathedral in st. Paul.
A companion, also a non-Cathofic,
did Catholic school near the Cathe-
dral," he said, 1T is from that, that
pews in the Cathedral will be filled
in the future" Archbishop Ireland,
who related this little story, told of
the sources that maintained the parish
school.
whence is it that we have been
able to build our superb schools and
colleges?" he asked. Il give the re-
ply. They are the fruits of Catholic
self-denial.
There is the self-denial of par
ents, who, from their scanty earnings,
are willing to set aside the money
needed to build school homes and to
defray therein the expenses of the
education of their children.
There is the self-denial of priests,
Brothers and Sisters who work with
out thought of worldly remuneration,
giving themselves in utter oblation to
the cause of Christian education, be-
cause that cause is the cause of the
Church of God.

you ask me of religion?' he con-
tinued. "Ah, fear there has been no
such religious revival as some have
said. Perhaps a few more men go to
church in France than before the war,
but it is not general.
Il did not know your country had
so much religion. France, you know,
is an atheistic state. We do not use

forbidden. Once the little kindergar-

to religion. 1t was so before the war.
and now it is growing.
Germany was atheistic, although
the Kaiser was very devoted
churchgoer. The German scholars,
like Harnack and Haeckel who repre-
sented German thought, were unbe-
levers, although l believe their most
important theories have been ex-
ploded.
THE clergy are partly to blame.
They have been too austere, too mar
row. Independent men rebel against
such limitation. Religion is broad at
the base. Some day we shall get to
that"
Admitting that the chief opposition
to the Russian Soviet Government
from France is due to the reputation
by Lenine of the loans which the Gar
had obtained from France, Able Dim
net said:
Yet / think the Bolsheviki are vir-
tually recognized now Official recog-
milton will come. Perhaps not while
Lenine and Trotzky are in Office
perhaps not until a more moderate
Cabinet is formed, but it will be a
Soviet Government. No other kind
can stand in Russia.
Once we said that Lenine and
Trotzky were crazy fanatics, but that
was foolish. It will not do to say so.
Lenine is genius-who can doubt
it? All this time he has stood with
all the world against him, and famine,
too. I cannot believe they are right,
but only men of genius, men of great
courage and firmness, could have
weathered the storms as Lenine and
Trotzky have.
Il believe that Lenine and Trotzky
would recognize the French claims
now. l think l see how it will hap
pen. They will give way to more mod
crate Bolsheviki, the obligations will
be recognized, and official recognition
of the Russian Government will fol-

Professor G.. M. Hayes of New York
supervises the educational work of
the Knights in the Eastern camps.
Beginning with one or two courses,

camp curricula so that now they in
clude several wage-earning trades, the
most popular of which is auto me-
chanics. 3"
The knights chauffeur's course,
which includes thorough knowledge
Of general motor mechanics, takes a
man in camp about three months.
Mathematical courses take longer.
Many privates, especially at Fort

remarkably effective work, have gone
up for examination and won commits
sions after receiving mathematics in
an intensive X. of G. course.
With their schools in operation at
Camp Lee and those operating or be-
ing established in mid-Western and
