IRELAND AND BELGIUM
CARDINAL LOGUE VICTIM OF
MISREPRESENTATION.

With regard to Interpretations in the
present, Cardinal Logue gives the fol
lowing in a letter to the editor of the
Irish Catholic:
Dear Sir: Though / am not in the
habit of contradicting misrepresenta-
lions in newspapers of which | am
made the subject-it would be a use
less and thankless task-I notice,
however, an assertion in today's pa
pers which | think should not go with
out contradiction. 1t purports to be a
message from New York to the Daily
News and is to the following effect:
Numerous Irish ecclesiastics, in
Guiding Cardinal LOgue are
cabling the Hearst Press in outspoken,
but hardly constructive, terms.
| have never in my life cabled a
message to America bearing directly
or indirectly on politics. l know moth
ing of the Hearst Press, and have
never had any communication with it.
| may take this occasion to correct
a paragraph, which appeared in an
| American paper and has gone the
rounds of the press in this country,
1t purports to be an extract from a
| letter written to me by His Eminence
| Cardinal MERCER, and expressing a
strong opinion of Ireland's right to
| characterization.
! l have no recollection of having re-
ceived such a letter from Cardinal
Mercier and am DoSitiVeIV SIRE that
| never have.

Yours faithfully,

MEMORIAL CHAPELS
COLLEGE OF ST. THOMAS TO
ERECT TWO VOTivE CHAPELS
IN MEMORY OF ITS VALIANT
sONs-PRAYER FOR THE DEAD,
GRATITUDE FOR THE LIVING.

The following letter has been adj
dressed to the parents of st. Thomas
students who were in the Army or
Navy during the war:
Dear Sir:
The College of St. Thomas feels
that it has duty to perpetuate the
names of it's thousand students who
formed part of the Army and Navy of
the United States in the Great War;
OF those who went forth to defend
their country no name should be al
lowed to perish. The memory of the
tWenty-One brave men who laid down
their lives should be cherished with
special care In intercession for those
who died, and in Thanksgiving for the
safe return of all who came back
from battlefield and camp, the Col
lege desires to erect in it's church two
memorial chapels, one dedicated to
the Blessed Virgin, the other to St.
Joseph, in which will be placed
bronze tablets bearing the names of
all the students of st. Thomas who
answered the call of America Morn
ing after morning at the affairs of
these chapels priests will minister
who. in their commentators of the
living and the dead will not forget
those whose names are under their
eyes as they offer the Holy Sacrifice
| of the Mass. We believe that the
parents of those students who have
| been in the service will be happy to
cooperate in this work. They will
surely be pleased to place in st.
Thomas a monument that will be a
| tribute of honor to their patriot sons,
a memorial of the services rendered
iby Catholic school in the hour of
| the Country's need, and an inspira-
ton to the thousands of young men
who will throng the halls of st.
Thomas, in the years to come.
Should you wish to contribute to
| this splendid work, your generosity
will be gratefully appreciated. You
will be kept informed of the progress
| of the monument which it is our
privilege to inaugurate

WHY THE WORLD rs IN
TRAVAIL.

One difference between the
Saints and ordinary mortals is that
those holy men of God always view
earthly happenings from the
standpoint Of divine Providence,
People of less keen spiritual Wis
ion do not seem to be able to per
ceive either cause or effect beyond
the horizon Of this world. What
ever happens here below is attri-
buted by them either to blind
chance or to some confusion III the
laws of nature.
The Saints, on the other hand,
easily discern the work of Provl-
dence in everything that befalls.
While acknowledging free will III
men. and a consequent violation OF
the laws Of God and nature, the
Saints always trace misfortune
and disaster in this world to the
will of God Who permits such
things for His own reasons.
The blatant cry OF the atheist,
there is no God, never finds an
echo in the heart Of Saint or Chris
tan. The hopeless despair of the
unbeliever is foreign to the heart
and the mind of one whose motto
is, My God and my all.
For four long years the mills OF
God ground slowly and exceeding
fine. Atheism and infdelity al
once alleged the failure OF the be-
lief in a God Who could permit
such untold suffering and devasta-
ton. The Saints. on the contrary
yea, all true Christians, have seer
in visible way the hand OF Goo
as it swept over the nations OF
men. .s a
Almighty God has fixed certain
laws which man is ordered te
obey. Man in his arrogance ano
by his actions answered, will not
serve. How did he prove that his
rebellion was not confined tt

ever-increasing violation Of the

Now we know why religion is so
vital i'll the country, says a cOun-
try pastor Everyone makes his
Easter duty by Easter Sunday; if
he doesn t the rest of the minia-
ture parish would know it. When
d congregation is small it requires
some courage to be a Stacker. Be
sides the whitening scorn that
would greet him from all sides,
there yet remains the possible
welding of the parochial big
stick. The Easter duty slackers
require a crowded city to hide
them.

The Southern Guardian draws
this parallel: What Bolshevism
teaches and promises is not so diff
ferent from the teachings and
promises of Mohammed. He said ::
Il give you the perfect religious
doctrine on earth, and [ give you
after you die a heaven full Of eter-
nally beautiful young ladies, foun-
tains spouting wine that does not
intoXicate-and your wives will be
left behind" Bolshevism says to
its follower, no matter how little
he knows, or how little he has
done: Il give you perfect politi-
cal doctrine, declaring you as wise
and worthy as any man, and | Of
fer you here on earth the posses
sion of everything that others
have built and that you have en-

Notices of any action by the
Vatican regarding a reunion of
the, churches must be received
with extreme caution, writes an
observer. 1t goes without saying
that the only movement toward re-
union, properly so-called, to which
the Vatican could listen, would be
the promotion of the return of the
separated churches to Rome
However, the American commits
sion, now visiting Europe, has not
yet officially approached the Holy
See: and it is not impossible that
a suggestion of purely social I'M
port, to bring about an improve
ment in conditions throughout the
world quite apart from any doc
trinal consideration, might receive

MEMORIAL CHAPELS.

For centuries it has been a Gus
tom among all nations to erect me-
MORALS to the memory OF those
men and women who have merited
we'll of the country. Even 1ncivll-
lied peoples were wont to mark
the passing Of a deserving member
of the tribe by the rocky cairn, or
heap Of stones. Civilized nations
preferred memorial Of more per-
manent and artistic value. Thus
the ruins from ancient times dis
close the graceful shrine, the or
nate temple or the heroic statue in
memory Of the distinguished de-
parted.
Christianity opened up to a be-
nighted world the vista of life
eternal. She taught men that
those who had gone on before were
separated from the living by only
slight barrier, called death. I'M
bued with this spirit and this sub
lime faith, the early Christians be-
gan to erect temples to God, dedl-
eating them to the honor of the
heroic men and women who laid
down their lives for the faith Of
Christ.
In later times it became custom
AIRY for Christian families Of afflu-
ence to eXpend part OF their for
tune in building a church or bas-
ilica, chapel or shrine, i'll memory
Of one of their beloved departed.
Thus it is that at the present day
Europe is dotted everywhere with
those shrines and memorials.
Thousands of our American boys
have heard the call, Greater Love
than this no man hath than that he
lay down his life for his brethren.
They heard the call, they needed
it, they laid down their lives for
their fellowmen. A grateful ma
ton now hastens to honor THEN
memories in every conceivable
way, with professions, festivities
and enduring monuments.
The College of st. Thomas i'll
this city numbers tWcnty-one sons
who inundated themselves for this
GREATER love. With truly
| Christian spirit the faculty Of the
College has decided that the mem,
DRY Of those young heroes shall be
pcrpetuated in a Christian manner
For this purpose two memorla
chapels will be established at the
| College wherein, for all time tc
come. the memory Of the heroic
dead will daily be recalled by the
minister of God as he offers before
the divine throne the august Sacrl
| fee. Prayer and Precipitation
shall ever mingle with the encom
iums of the living i'll order thai
not only the names of the heroes
may remain ever yerdant, but tha'
their spirits may be refreshed
through the efficacy OF His love
who reigns from the altar throne
beneath the enduring bronze thai

TWO STATES FOR THE

Republicans of two states have held

Both Of them favor the League Of

Both Of them favor thu peace treaty.
and both Of them desire only such hmi-

sovereignty, protect the Monroe dse-

Reservations. Of the kind outlined by
the Republicans Of these two states
need not necessarily vitiate. imperil or
weaken the peace treaty or the League
of Nations in the slightest degree.
They arc far away from the radical
amendments proposed by some OF the
opposition senator's. They do not take
concern as to the ShantunS Peninsula
or as 70 the relative voting strength of
the United States and Great Britain in
the general Assembly OF the League.
The Republicans OF these two states
look forward with vision to he world
usefulness Of the American people. and
they are willing to accep: the response
bIiities which the League imposes upon
them with only such explanation and
limitations as make clear our under
standing Of the League itself, and give
TO us q freedom Of action which We &C
cord to the other members Of the

afraid of the future. nor are they afraid
to NEE: world questions. They arr

They look forward TO the opportunity
Of using their vast power anu influence
for the creation OF better conditions
