A MODEL YOUTH.

According to tradition and his
tory, virtue usually does not -four
ish at it's highest. in the courts OF
monarchs. Luxury and idleness
are supposed to enervate the spir-
itual fiber of attendants on roy
atty. This may or may not be
true; at any rate, it is tradition.
Years ago young man OF noble
parentage was honored by being
appointed page in a certain court.
The evils that surrounded him,
the temptations that assailed him,
had but one effect: they turned
his whole heart and soul to God.
So much did this youth, Aloysius,
abhor the boast of heraldry and
the pomp Of power that he deter
mined to shun it all: and he did.
He gave up the world, and en-
tered a religious society. The inn
pulse to higher things, an impulse
received from contemplating
earth's highest things, acted so
powerfully upon him, that in a
few short years he attained to the
Hottest sanctity, and while still a
youth closed his eyes in death
Almighty God and His Church
thought so we'll Of that holy young
man that they confirmed the evi-
dences of his sanctity, and he was
declared a Saint of the great
Church Of God.
st. Aloysius faced the same, anC
greater, temptations and perils
that confront the youth Of today
He overcame those dangers by the
practice Of purity and prayer
Through these crystal channels
his life flowed peacefully alone
until it reached the haven Of eter
nal refuge and security. Will no
the same powerful weapons prove
equally as efficacious in the hand:
Of our twentieth century youth i
they use them Alright?

RHEN|SH REPUBLIC
CATHOLICS IN THE RHlNELAND
NOT FOR REPUBLIC-CENrRi
LEADERS OPPOSED TO COUP
D'ETAT BY FRENCH FOREIGN
OFFICE.

1t now transpires that what was at
first hailed as a coup by Catholics to
erect a Rhenish republic independ-
ent of Germany was really an abor-
tive attempt on the part of the French
Foreign Office to establish a buffer
state. The republic proclaimed by
DR.. Dorten, concerning whose person
atty little information has been trans
mitted, seems to be confined to an
office which enjoys French protection.
The Rhineland republic seems to
be as hard to find in British-Occupied
Germany as in the area held by the
Americans" says Edwin L. James,
cabling from Coblenz under the date
of June 6.
THE French Foreign Office, through
the Army Of Occupation, has con-
Quoted propaganda ever since the be-
uganda, regarded as perfectly legiti-
mate in European politics, looked to
the establishment of a buffer state.
Repeated efforts have been made to
have the Americans and British lend
aid to such work in their territories,
but the American and British author
tiles have consistently held that their
mission was military and not political.
The French, on the one side, and the
British and Americans on the other,
have been perfectly frank about this
difference in policy"
That Catholic Center party leaders
were not involved is evidenced by the
appointment by the Berlin government
of Karl TrimbOrn, a prominent Center
leader, as regional president of the
Rhineland. Trimborn was a Centrist
member of the last Reichstag. He re-
sides in Cologne and is a lawyer by
profession.
Furthermore, a delegation includ
| ing Herr Adenau, BurgOmaster OF
| Cologne, and Herr Leonatz, Centrist
party leader in the Coblenz district
| has left for Versailles, with the per
mission, of course, Of the British and
American authorities, to tell the Con
ference that the Rhineland is against
the proposed separation under the
leadership of DR.. Dorten.

MEXICO AGAIN.

For more than a hundred years
Mexico, the rich, fertile, fruitful
land, has been given over to the
depredations Of bandits, murder
ers and marauders. Unable to
profit by the wealth at it's doors,
Mexico mulcts and torments and
drives out those who would en-
deavor to reclaim the riches that
lie hidden within her.
The United States government
once went to war with that i'll
fated country. The result was
two years of uninterrupted vic
tories. Mexico learned her les
son. But new generations arose
beyond the Rio Grande, genera
tions that never heard the names
Of Taylor and Scott. So our gov
eminent sent another expedition
to chastise the willy bandits. This
American force contained lay
lor and Scott, but the orders were,
Hands Off. For this reason our
brave troops and their impatient
officers were forced to "stand by
and chafe in silence The inglori-
Gus fiasco Of Vera Cruz is still
fresh in our minds. And Mexico
has grown more insolent. If the
blood Of the martyrs is the seed
of Christianity, then Mexico is
about ripe for the fruits Of spir-
itual conquest, for hundreds OF
our co-religionists have laid down
their lives in that benighted land
within the past few years, and al
for the faith.
From Lexington and Concord
to St. Mihiel is a long cry: it sig
nalizes a train Of Wondrous tri
umphs for American arms. Is i
not about time that something
were done to set Mexico right
to quit this chronic disturbance
at our doors, and thus to lift thu
mist that seems to hang Over
America long line Of victories

triotism be instilled into the
hearts and minds of the foreign
born who have been so long neg
lected or sighted.
Reports from the various cen
tiers already in operation are most
encouraging. The strangers with
in our gates are awakening into a
new national life. The religion
of their fathers in the old lands
is brought before them with COM
polling force. They are made to
see that America intends to love
and care for them. The result
Of all this will be an upbuilding
Of the Church, a strengthening OF
faith where faith was dim, a new
appreciation of citizenship, and a
stronger, more united and more
loyal citizenry for the future.

IRISH REFORMS NEAR
LONDON PAPER SAYS WILSON
HAS UNDERSTANDING WITH
LLOYD GEORGE.

Il hear that President Wilson has a
definite understanding with Premier
Lloyd George that wide measure of
reform for Ireland will be at once
taken in hand" an Irish correspond
ent writes to the Daily News.
There has been a vast amount of
speculation regarding the intentions of
the British government toward Ire
land. 1t is prevailing idea that the
government intends to embark on a
policy of repression. | have reason to
know from an authority of very high
standing, whose name | am not per-
mitted to disclose, that the prospect
for reform measures in Ireland is very
bright. My informant says that in re-
turn for his attitude with regard to
the claim of Ireland to be heard at the
Peace Conference, the President has
the promise of speedy and favorable
action by the British premier"

BROTHER RAH|LlY
APOLOGIES MADE TO SUPERIOR
GENERAL FOR MlSTREAT-
MENT.

A few weeks ago Brother Rahilly,
Superior General of the Presentation
Brothers, was jailed at Ellis Island on
his arrival in New York. The charge
of disloyalty to Great Britain had been
made against him by Canadian officers
on board the ship which bore him
here The result was that both the
Canadian and the American govern
ments, finding him wholly innocent,
offered many apologies for the mis-
treatment Washington will investi-
gate the officials at New York who
seem to take their orders from London
rather than from Washington.

CATHOLIC WAR COUNCIL.

For the first time in her history
the Church in this country put
forth a great united effort in the
alienation Of war suffering dur
ing the past world struggle. Up
to the present the Church has
acted here through her individual
prelates and children. When
America was caught in the mael-
strom Of war the Bishops Of the
country rose to the occasion, and
with true American spirit gather
ed together all the resources of
the Church in this land and placed
them at the disposal of the govern
ment. The result is one of the
brightest pages in contemporaries.

Now that the cause which called
forth the great effort has been

of gratitude that the brave aviator
Hawker owed to Mary, the Star
of the Sea, whose month Of May

across the ocean, we didn't know
anything about him privately,

back to Brooklyn to see his folks,

he is an exemplary Catholic, and

DECISION IS REVERSED
BISHOP dunno 10 SUCCESSFUL
IN SUIT.

An opinion in which the decree Of
the circuit court was modified and
affirmed in the case of Bishop Dunno
against the county of Rock Island,
was handed down Friday, June 6, by
the Supreme Court of Illinois. The
question involved the construction Of
a jail on a public square in Rock
Island within 200 feet Of a building
used for school purposes. The modi-
flying order does not allow construc-
ton of the Jail within 200 feet of the
building of the complainant, if it is
used exclusively for school purposes.
The case has been pending in court
for ten years.
