A COMP ARSON
PROTESTANT PROFESSOR NOTES
DIFFERENCES IN RELIGIOUS
SPIRIT OF SOLDIERS.

Protestant chaplains in the Amer
ican Army have been dismayed by the
vast numbers of men who throng to
all the camp Masses, while few think
it worth their while to go to the Prot
estant services. The reason for this
may be inferred from the following
acknowleG Ggment made in ST. Thomas
Journal by Rev. Prof. Shaw, teacher
OF Theology (Protestant) in Taylor
University:
Il sat for three weeks with men in
training in a great American concen-
tratiG4 camp, men who had been in
France in the thick of it, and they
told me of two things the boys in the
trenches wanted before they went
over the top The one was to make
a confession and the other was the
Eucharist. Why are Protestant sol
diers, thousands of them, along with
the Catholics, crowding the Mass? It
is because they feel that this Mass
stands for an atonement of their sins.
It furnishes them with the desired
confessional that they cannot find in
their own religion. l was brought up
a Scotch Covenanter, my very soul
crying out against this thing, and yet
l find that it is the one exigent way of
getting rid OF that awful thought of
dying with sin. The soldier must have
it. He wants to purge away the guilt
Of his soul. He must tell his sins to
some one else. Yet, it is coming fast
into evidence that it is essential that
we must have a good open confession.
1t has been our habit for the last CEN
turysto deny sin. Since this war, how
ever, there has been a wholesome de-
mand of the need of Jesus Christ. We
have got to come back. Let us do so,
and help our boys in khaki so that
they may die with Jesus on their lips" "

PAPAL YEAR BOOK
LATEST ISSUE SHOWS INCREASE
OF CHURCH..

The latest issue of the Annuario
Pontificio, the Papal year book, shows
the growth of the Church.
Most interesting of all is the table
of the Bishops of Christendom. The
Hierarchy of the Catholic Church con-
sists at the present hour of 60 Cardi-
nails, 214 Archbishoprics (residentiaD !,
S62 Bishoprics (residentiaD, 563 Titu-
lar Bishoprics, and 23 Abbots having
their own territory The Church in
the Orient has Patriarchates, %
Archbishoprics, 49 Bishoprics, and 6
Vicariates Apostolic. In different
parts of the world the Church has 8
Apostolic Delegates, 178 Apostolic
Wears, and 70 Apostolic Projects.
An excellent sign of the progress of
the Church is that since the elevation
of Pope Benedict to the throne of the
Fisherman UP to December 81, 1918,
there have been established 5 Arch
dioceses, 16 Dioceses, IL Vicariates
Apostolic, and Prefectures.

Delegates OF Irish Convention

The President informed the Ameri-
cans he had only agreed to receive
them, accept their resolution, and hear
any argument they might offer. jus
tice Golf, however, stated he under
stood that the President had agreed to
be questioned as to what his attitude
would be.
THE President then said" the
statement reads, that he was in thor
ough accord with the aspirations
voiced by the judge and had been for
a long time; that all he meant to say
was that he should not be called upon
as the head of one of the govern
ments taking part in the peace con-
ference to state his official attitude,
no matter what his personal feelings
might be; that he was not unfriendly
to the cause as we present it, but that
it was very delicate and complicated
situation with which he had to con-
tend, and that with a situation like
that to meet he must be allowed to
meet it by methods which seemed best
to him and not use method that
might injure the cause instead of help
ing it,
Rt Rev. P. J. Muldoon, D. D.,
Bishop Of Rockford, H., chairman Of
the administrative committee Of the
National Catholic War Council, also
addressed the President, asserting
that, although sprung from the Irish
race, he preferred to speak ''as a dis
ciple Of the Prince of Peace" He
declared that there would be no real
peace with the Irish question left un-
settled, and he said that if Ireland
were not given independence after the
Presidents expressions in favor of
self-determination the Irish question
would be worse than ever before
He declared that the Irish people
looked to the President as the ''apos-
tie of all the world
Irish Had Stood by Him.
Frank P. Walsh, former joint chair
man of the war labor board, also ad-
dressed the President, the statement
said, calling to his attention the fact
that people of Irish blood had stood
solidly behind the President when he
declared that the war was for the
right and liberty of small nations.
The President, according to the
statement, interrupted to say, Il agree
with your argument. Yes, l agree
with what you say"
! Mr. Walsh closed by urging the
President to use "his powerful infiu
ence" to insure that the delegates
elected by the people of Ireland were
given every opportunity to present
!, their cause to the peace conference
In answer to a question from the
President, Mr.. Walsh said he did not
ask an answer to his request at this
time.

PROTESTANTS At MASS
LAURlER'S FUNERAL MADE MIS-
SION TO PRoTEsTANTS.

At the funeral of Sir Wilfred Lau-
rier, ex-premier of Canada, the Cath
olics gracefully gave their places to
non-Catholics in the Cathedral of
Ottawa. They wished to let the latter
witness one of the most touching cere-
monies of the Catholic Church, and all
paid tribute to the solemn beauty of
the rites. Every one found in his place
book with the title, ''The Mass and
Funeral Service of the Late Rt. Hon.
Sir Wilfred Laurier, P. G. G., c.. M. G.,
at the Basilica, Ottawa, 22d Feb, 1919"
There was a short instruction on the
Holy Mass, with the Mass prayers in
Latin and English, all read with great
attention. Circumstances could not
have been better fitted to make non
Catholics acquainted with Catholic
belief concerning the Mass and the
meaning of our type of religious cere-
monies.

BO[SHEv|k OUTRAGES
RUSSIAN PRIESTS BEING PERsE
CUTEp.

A Russian professor, who has sue
ceeded in making his escape from the
land of the Bolsheviki, states that the
persecution of Christian ministers of
all kinds in Russia is comparable only
to that practiced against the early
Christians. Catholics suffer like the
Orthodox. Of the latter, ten bishops
have been murdered. Near Kotlas all
the monks of a monastery were mas
sacred. The Dean of kazan Cathedral
was drowned by Red soldiers in the
Neva; and torture has been resorted
to in some regions. Many priests and
religious persons are in hiding in re-
mote villages, where they are protect
ed by the local peasantry, who are
beginning to declare that serfdom
under the Bolsheviki is far more ter
rible than under the Gar

That there can be no true world
peace until the Irish question has been
settled with justice and in accord
with the great principles that Presi-
dent Wilson himself enunciated as the
inspiration of the United States in the
world war; is the statement that was
made to President Wilson on Tuesday
evening, March 4, by the Rt. Rev. p.
J. Muldoon d. D., Bishop of Rockford,
III. Bishop Muldoon was one of a
delegation, representing the Irish
Race Convention held in Philadelphia
recently, that had waited vainly in
Washington to have an audience with
President Wilson. But the President
refused to see the delegation there,
postponing the interview to Tuesday
night in New York, though he did re-
ceive in Washington a delegation OF
Jews come to ask him to intercede
with the peace conference for the eS-
tablishment of a Zionist state in Pal
estine. Strangely, President Wilson
gave an unqualified assent to the Jew
ish delegation who asserted their his
toric claim" to Palestine, but refused
a direct answer to the Irish delegation
despite the living claim Of the Irish to
self-determination and liberation from
the despotic, militaristic rule that has
governed Ireland in the past and that
governs it at this very moment.
The conference between the Irish
hoJI
in the club rooms of the Metropolitan
Opera House Immediately after the
public address of the President on
Tuesday night. The twenty-five dele
gates were permitted to confer with
the President only after their leader,
Justice Daniel F. Cohalan, of the New
York Supreme Court, had left the
room.
States Case for the Irish.
According to the statement issued
bv the committee, Justice Golf opened
tire meeting with the President, pre-
senting to him a copy of the resolu-
ton adopted by the Irish Race Con
vention at Philadelphia, requesting
the Pr0SlQouL 10 WUIh iOl oSI1-uSlCl-
mination for Ireland.
Justice Golf argued vigorously that
ireland came well within the descrip
ton of a self-determining nation as
laid down by the President himself
He closed, saying: "We ask you tC
present to the peace conference at
Paris the right of Ireland to determine
the form of government under which
she shall live Will you do it,
According to the statement, the
President said he did not believe he
should be called upon to answer such
question, explaining that as the gov
ernment representative ct the peace
conference, he felt that he should not
be called upon to make formal reply
to Justice Coff's inquiry.
Misunderstanding Arises.
According to the statement, there
was misunderstanding between the
President and the committee.

GET ON THE BAND WAGON

The Grants Pass Chamber Of Com
merce sends an invitation to the peo-
pie of Josephine county to join in a
movement of progression which is
now being made. We want you to
help in this great work Of making
Southern Oregon BIGGER and BET

We have faith in our country and We
feel it our duty to tell others, and
especially those who seek and need
climate-to come here, bask In the
sunshine and get we'll The march
to betterment has started-wiil you
join us?
We are determined to make good
and with the help of the masses the
work can be accomplished in shorter
time than if the few have to do it,
but may we say that We are going
to the front anyhow and we invite
you to ride with us to victory. Please
do not say it cannot be done for we
know better. Only a few weeks ago
this body was asked to organize a
band. We were told we would have
to subscribe $3.50. Some said, 'IT
CANNOT BE DONE" while another
said. 1T is NOT WORTH WHILE
TO TRY" but we got busy and in
stead of subscribing $3.50 the people
handed over $500.
We have splendid people here.
All they need is to be taught their
duty and they DO IT. We have con-
tinued faith in you as a people and
so instead of saying it cannot be
done we say, CIT CAN BE DONE
AND IT WILL BE DONE" We are
going to place Southern Oregon on
the map of PROGRESSION. We are
going to bring money and people
here as never before and we again
invite you to help bring about the
splendid condition contemplated. :
On Wednesday next we meet at
Ashland and the week following at
Medford and we expect the three
commercial bodies to get out some
reading matter descriptive of our
country. We are going to have
reading matter that will bear inves-
tigation. In other words we will
hue out cisterns that will hold wa
ter. In this way We expect ana will
spread the glad tidings of joy to the
millions who need just such climatic
conditions as obtain here. Southern

industrial crisis. Every nation
America, England. France and even
Germany. is making preparations for
