HOUSE OF STUDIES
CAPUCHiN FATHERS NOW 10
GATED IN THE NATIONAL

The new Capuchin Monastery

of st. Augustine has erected in Wash
ington on the highlands overlooking
the Catholic University buildings, is
situated at the bend of HARDWOOD
road, about five minutes walk from
the University to which it is affiliated.
Built in The style OF the old brick
architecture of Italy, the home OF ST.
Francis of Assist, it may be claSsed
as Italian Romanesque, the style most
ly used in the building Of the monas-
teries in Italy The Capuchins, being
followers of St. Francis Of Assist,
whom they have most fittingly select
ed as the patron Of their new house in
the national Capital, were greatly
pleased to learn that the builders
had begun with the excavations on
the feast of st. Francis, October 4.
1917. The cornerstone was laid on
November 80 of the same year. Thanks
the Order, by the Very Rev. DR. George
A. Dougherty, vice-rector of the Cath
olic University, in the presence of the
neighboring religious, the architect
and some Capuchin Fathers.
In spite of the great war that
brought many difficulties the building
was practically completed and the
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass was Of
fered in the chapel for the first time
on st. Francis day, October 4, just
one year after ground had been brok-
en-. The Capuchins have now taken
possession of their new home. For
the time being there are three Faith
ers occupying the building, with one

A WONDERFUL RECORD
PHILADELPHIA GIVES LARGE SUM
TO SEMINARY.

Pronounced the greatest contribu-
ton Of it's kind in the history of the
Church, not only in Philadelphia, but
throughout all of Christendom, the an
nual diocesan collection for the Phila-
delphia Theological Seminary of
st. Charles Borromeo, Overlook,
amounted in 1918 to the stupendous
sum Of $3.50, 435.97.
This announcement was made at
the reading of the report in the Ca
thedral chapel on Sunday, April -,
in the presence of the Most Reverend
Archbishop, many members of the
Seminary faculty, and a number of the
right reverend and reverend parochial
clergy.
The attendance Of the laity, from
whose ranks are recruited those Hntir-
ing and devoted friends, the solicitors
the Seminary's best benefactors, -
was large. Their JOY was unconfned
when the astonishing grand total was
heard, and they realized that the mag
nificent record OF 1917-$105, 579.31-
had been increased by almost fifty per
cent.

Brief Reviews and Notices

The Worlds Debate. BY Rev. Dr.
VIM. Barry. Published by Holder
and Stoughton, New York. Price
$125.
The distinguished writer, Rev DR.
Barry, in the present work presents a
historical defense Of the Allies. The
learned author, in his usual style,
draws upon his vast store Of erudition
and points to the roots of anarchy in
Europe, going back, to the treaty of
WeStphalia He then reviews the
various problems that have confronted
England in the past two centuries,
problems that have arisen from a con-
tempt for authority and tyrannical
use of power. The history Of Austria,
France and Germany in the past few
centuries is rapidly sketched, and the
subject is rounded out by a keen
analysis Of the part which America
was destined to play in the great war.
Although the work was completed dur
ing the progress of the war, Dr. Barry
points out with unerring dizziness the
logical outcome Of the struggle. The
work is we'll worth perusal not only
because it presents strong defense
of the Allies, but especially because
of the vast amount Of erudition that
is condensed into one volume by the
inimitable Dr. Barry.

HOW SLEEP THE BRAvE!"

Plain white crosses, row on row,
Across the silent hill they so:
Here lie the friends, and there the
foe,
Near to the gentle river;
Their graves are red when poppics
In summer, and white with winters
snow,
But they lie in close-ranked lines be-
low,
And they lie in peace for ever.
With the dewy morn come the bugle-
notes
Poured from q hundred golden throats.
And over their graves the reycille
floats
OF the larks, but It's thrilled in vain:
For sleep is sweet when a hero dies,
And sleep eternal has touched their
eyes,
A dreamless sleep, they shall never
rise
To the bugle's call again.
When the sun sinks low in the ruddy
west,
The farewell strains from the thrushs
nest
Shall lull the sleeping heroes rest
In a hymn to the dying day;
There they lie, brave, dauntless, true,
Palled by the heavens gold and blue,
And the rain shall beat a soft tattoo
Where the warriors sleep in clay.
Plain white crosses, row on row,
Across the silent hill they go:
Here lie the friends, and there the
foe,
Near to the peaceful river:
Their graves are red when peoples
grow
In summer, and white with winters
snow,
But they lie in close-ranked files be-
low,
And they lie at pSce for ever.

rcundings from ones eyer-clininging

beds accommodated here. During the
war the capacity was strained to fiji
teen hundred. The place was built on
the old French courtyard plan; and,
IN those rush days, the very yards
were filled with beds, to say nothing
Of the halls and corridors and other
available space.

A WAR INCIDENT
MASS is INTERRUPTED BY
BURSTING SHRAPNEL.

The Rev. Louis Vaeth, former as
sistant at St. Marys Church, Hagers-
town, Nd, now chaplain of the Fifty
second Pioneer Infantry, writing to
a friend in Baltimore, speaks for him
self as "a one-night, transforming cir
cult rider, Catholic evangelical chap
lain, holding forth in a different town
and before a different audience every
day"
He closed his letter by relating the
following incident:
ION my last circuit had the closest
and most marvellous call of my army
experience. l was saying Mass in an
army escort wagon in an orchard in
the town of --, on the morning of
Friday, the feast of All Saints, which
was celebrated by the opening of the
big and successful drive. | had just
finished reading the Gospel and was
speaking to the soldiers when one
shell, a shrapnel, burst about thirty
feet over my wagon-church. This
town of - was only a few miles
behind the front lines, and shells had
been bursting near us, but we paid
no attention to them because miss
is as good as a mile in this war game,
but this shrapnel was not only near,
but. among us. The men recognized
the sound Immediately. My preach
ing was suddenly interrupted by the
cry of 'Shrapnel' Immediately every
man fell to the ground and covered
his head with his arms. Yours truly,
vestments and ALL also followed suit
and I Rugged the wagon floor with my
arms protecting my head The con-
cussion of the bursting shell demol-
ished the fixtures of my improvised
altar. Crucifx and altar cards were
Knocked down. And the shrapnel
balls? They fell around us like hail.
There were about seventy-five soldiers
attending Mass and these balls fell in
between those men and myself, and
not one of us was struck by shrapnel.
The men termed it miraculous
escape and the incident has made
deep and lasting impression on me
and my comrades"
