KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS MINISTRIES
TO MAKE A TOUR OF AREA OccU-
PIED BY AMERICANS.

The Knights Of Columbus minstrels,
the largest entertainment project yet
attempted by that organization in
France, began at Chaumont recently a
tour of the entire area occupied by the
American eXpeditionary force. The
entertainment was held in tn. largest
available hall, and was attended by
$500 officers and men.
The troupe will tour the larger army
posts, covering all embarkation ports
as a unit, says an announcement. La
ter the company will be separated into
several small organizations touring
the lesser camps. No camp g%arrisoned
by over 1000 men will be omitted in
the tour OF entertainment. The min.
strels will visit all camps in Germany
and Italy wherever American soldiers
are, ard will probably visit England.

THE CHURCH in MEXICO

''Monsignor Burke he said, was
sent to Mexico by Mgr. Kelly, of Chi
cago, head of the Catholic Church EX-
tension Society in the United States.
He was sem in order to get full infor-
nation and reports about the religious
question. He was to visit the prin-
cipal cities of the republic and report
not only from the side of the Cath
olics, but also from the side Of the
enemies of the Church.
LAS soon as Monsignor Burke en-
tered Mexico, he thought it would be
more advisable to 60 Immediately to
see Mr.. Carranza and in fact has had
some meetings with him, and he has
reported that CarranZa was willing to
grant to the Church of Mexico the
same freedom that it enjoys here in
the United States. But | fear Mr.
Carranza cannot promise that, because
it depends upon the discussion in the
Congress and the ratification Of the
bill by tWo-thirds of the States of
Mexico. As for having in Mexico the
same freedom as we have here, the
Constitution should be practically de
stroyed and a new n adopted like
the M IN the United States, because
there are a great many articles
in the Constitution in regard to the
Church.
"If twenty of the States are not
willing to approve of the amendment
the Constitution will continue the
same as before. Mr.. Carranza will
then say. 4 am willing to grant this
freedom, but the people with repre-
sentatives in Congress will not allow
it. In all the elections, it has beer
openly the case that the Government
cannot admit anyone to vote who il
against the revolution"
The Archbishop was asked furthe.
about the recent report that the eX
lied prelates were returning to Mex
leo. Those who returned, he said
were only those who were already il

the border several months ago in dis
guise, namely, Archbishop Mora, O
Mexico City; Bishop De la Mora, 0
Zacatecas, Bishop Herrara o

At a special meeting Of the state
council Of Switzerland on April
Il, it was reported that a mag
niticent site on the shore of Lake
Geneva and facing Mont Blanc
had been chosen for the building
which will in future be the capitol
of the league Of nations. The peo-
pie Of the city are rejoicing over
the decision Of the commission on
the league Of nations at Paris.
The decision has greatly enhanced
the popularity of President Will
son and America in the Alpine
republic. The selection of Geneva
as the seat Of the league did not
come as a surprise, for it has been
known that President Wilson and
Premier Lloyd George favored
this city over Brussels.

CULTURE AND THE CLASSICS

So much has been written on
the need Of a knowledge Of the
classics in order to round out a
mans education that it might
seem superfuous to bring up the
subject again. A noted Greek
scholar, however, has given a new
turn to this interesting question,
and points out this need as a re-
quisite in the culture of a commun-
ity in any given age or place.
Dr.. Basil L. Gildersleeve OF
Johns Hopkins University, a dis.
tinguished scholar who has taught
Greek for sixty years, said of the
educators in this country:
They will come back to the
classics some time, but | do not
know how they will overtake
things. While they are without
the classics, there will be no con
tinuity Of culture, no community
of culture. There will be no foun'
dation for the culture of this day
And, anyhow, everything is re.
lated to the learning Of Athens
and Rome. You cannot plan
city today and not go back to
them, without making a mess o.
things. All the things tha'
trouble the world today, all thu
things that we ponder and worry
over, happened before; were set
tied before. Raemakers, the Dutcl
cartoonist, who had to get out O
Holland and go to England be
cause the Germans put a price OF
his head, drew a cartoon entitled
"Justice." It was put in his bool
of cartoons, and the publisher

AMERICA WAKING UP.

Four years ago the people Of
this country were confident that
America led the world in educa-
ton. Two years later a slight
doubt was cast upon the accuracy
of this assertion. When finally
the United States determined to
enter the world war, in order to
preserve her own right of self
determination, a somewhat start
ling revelation was made.

fact that Of the first two million

Manuel L. Quezon, president of
the Philippine Senate, has pre-
scented a resolution to Secretary
Baker asking independence for the

shall be granted us, the world will
know that the people of America

est blessings of a liberating rather
than a conquering nation, and
that it was OUR liberty, not

EDUCATION AND POLITICS.

Some years ago A. p. Assn was
rampant throughout this country.
An organization Of bigots, whose
sole object was the determination
of Catholics from social and politi-
cal life, came into being. Its me-
thOds were so crude, it's fanatic
ism so palpable, and it's venom sc
ill-concealed, that, like the Know
Nothings and other kindred Or
CARNATIONS Of all earlier date, A.
P. Aism a cast upon the scrap
heap Of political failures.
The spirit Of the thing, however,
continued to live. 1t has taken
shape and form in different ways
ever since the demise Of the first
movement. From time to time it
appears under varied garb. The
great wal just ended has given
occasion for another resurrection
Of the old spirit.
Taking a lesson by the expert
ence of France, this old A. p. A.
spirit now aims at influencing
Catholic youth by getting control
Of u ~parochial schools. In
France and Italy, through Masonic
bigotry, the crucifx and the name
Of God were, banished from the
schools. Here in America. under
the pretense Of Americanizing our
%parochial schools, bills have been
introduced in various state legis-
latures aiming at getting that con-
troll in one way or another.
The worst feature Of the whole
nasty affair is that Catholics them
selves Ire sometimes dragged into
siding with their own enemies.
The Catholic Church has no fear
whatsoever Of a reasonable and
just supervision Of her schools by
lawfully constituted authority.
She is more than willing to meet
whatever fair requirements may be
considered necessary for educa-
ton throughout the land. She is
anxious to prove to all men that,
while adding religious inspiration
to the education of her youth, she
is fully competent to impart the
most solid and thorough instruc.
ton along secular lines.
Small bore politicians will con.
tinue from time to time to play
into the hands Of intriguing fana.

control bills. Americans in gener.
al are very fair-minded and love
nothing more than a "square
deal' to all. Unless Catholics
however, are on their guard, it is
quite possible that here and there
a bill, detrimental to their inter
ests, may slip unnoticed through
some state legislative body.
u Recently a handful Of disgrunt
lied Catholics had a bill, aimed a,
the parochial schools, brought be
fore a certain legislature. Thi
heinous act Of treachery and dis
loyalty was soon discovered, anC
was instantly killed through TIL
generous and fair spirit Of a non
Catholic legislator.

Welcome, O light Of Easter morn!
Whose glorious banners span the skies;
Bring thou the hope-of ages born
That bids all slumbering nature rise.
Again shall earth, triumphant, free,
From Winters grasp, sing forth her pride,
Through Springs awakening melody,
O light of Eastertide!
O blessed light! though darkly down
Der Judah's hills her sun had set,
Yet thou didst Calvary,s5 victory crown
And gilt pain-shadowed ~Olivet,rr
When swift before thee fled the gloom,
The graves dark bondage thrust aside,
And conqueror thou DER death and doom,
@ light Of Eastertide!
Fair, peaceful light, in blessings fall
Round weary feet and hearts that grieve;
Life's fairest promise bring to all,
Thy lilies with it's cypress weave;
Bring answer to the anguished prayer,
Bring peace where pain and storm abide,
And thou the longest lmger there,
O light Of Eastertide!
O wondrous light! that shining through
Long vistas of the speeding years,
Still brings the hope Of birth anew,
AS each returning spring appears;
Emblem of life immortal thou,
AS DER the world, through spaces wide,
There breaks thy radiant glory now,
O light of Eastertide!

RIGHT rs RIGHT.

When President Wilson ennpcl-
ated his now famous Fourteen
Points, he was acclaimed through
out the world as the great apos-
tie of universal liberty. The coun-
tries Of Europe had been quarrel
ing among themselves for centu-
ries. Interminable disputes about
boundaries, national rights, acqui-
sition Of new territories, and a
hundred other questions, have
kept Europe on the brink Of a vol
cane ever since the fall Of the
Western Empire of the Romans in
476.
When the great world struggle
drew to a close, it was refreshing
to the peoples of the old world to
behold rising in the far west the
figure of a new champion Of hui
man rights. This leader, Mr.. Will
son, won the hearts of the oppres-
sed peoples everywhere when he
declared, in substance, that the
rights Of the people were far
above the rights of any particular
government. Mr.. Wilson was re-
ceived in Europe with great ap-
pIause. The willy old politicians,
gathered about the peace table IN
Paris, felt the pressure Of public
opinion and joined in the applause.
1t is hard, however, to teach an
old dog new tricks, and the con-
ferees were soon hammering away
on the questions that had agitated
Europe for centuries and that, set
tied in the old way, would con-
tinue to engulf the world in end
less struggles.
In spite Of the tremendous force
brought to bear upon him, Mr..
Wilson, like "Athanasius against
the world,' stood fearless though
alone. He took the position that
right is right and must always
prevail, that the intrigues Of po-
litical leaders must Of necessity
give way to the sovereign rights
Of the people.
SO long had the ruling classes
in the various nations enjoyed
their authority, hat they had
come to look upon it as something
inherent and independent Of the
wishes Of the people whom they
ruled. Many nations, however,
CALLED under the constant pressure
of an unbearable yoke, have arisen
in their fury and rage and have
hurled governments, cabinets, no.
bility and the wealthy classes into
the pit Of oblivion or Of death.
While this blind fury Of exaspera-
ted peoples may have been excess
sive and unreasoning, it is only
what one may expect when the
rights of peoples are overridden
and they themselves goaded on by
misery and injustice.
The same causes produce like
effects. While America bestows
freedom and liberty upon her citi-
Zens, let her beware lest the forces
of power and wealth assume a po-
sition to which they are not en-
titled. Power and wealth are gifts
to be used for the welfare Of the
many: where those two posses,
sions are used as a means Of op-
preston, it is only a question OF
time when either power and
wealth must quickly repent, OF
they will find themselves dethron.
ed by the maddened, unreasonine
multitude.

PERSECUTION HAS NOT CEASED
IN THAT COUNTRY-MEXiCAN
TlONS-cARRANZA'S SO-CALLED
PROMISES AMOUNT TO LITTLE.

That persecution of the Church in
Mexico has by n means ended and
that the recent reports of the prom
ises made by Carranza to give the
Church freedom will create more sym
pathy for CarranZa than freedom for
the Church, were a few of the state
mentS made to q Catholic Register re-
porter last week by Archbishop Ruiz
of Michoacan, Mexico, at st. Joseph
hospital, Kansas City, where he is a
guest of the chaplain. Receiving a
promise from C%arranza, and getting
the bill he recommends passed by the
national Congress and ratified by two
thirds of the States are two different
matters, the prelate pointed out.
He was asked what he knew of the
latest developments in Mexico. 81
know very WE'LL" he said, that Mr..
CarranZa has permitted three bishops
who were in hiding in Mexico City to
go to their sees and work there with
out interference. And / also know
that Mr.. CarranZa has presented a bill
to the Mexican Congress to amend the
national Constitution in three articles
SO that foreign priests can go to Mex
leo and minister there, that local gov
ernments cannot fix the number of
priests in each place, and that the
Church can own property such as
church buildings and vestments and
sacred utensils. This bill has been
presented by Carranza to the Con
gress and the Congress will take its
time for discussion. The Congress
which is now in recess, will be called
into extraordinary session 500 fol-
it's arranging of a loan.
Carranza Camoufiags.
These two steps of Carranza have
earned for him a feeling Of sympathy
in Mexico, but it is but a little thing
in comparison with the many outrages
and injustices in force in the Consti
tuition. The three acts are but a very
little concession. Perhaps Carranzs
is trying only to deceive the American
people in order to get money of Which
he is greatly in need, and the condi
ton Of the Church will continue il
this state Of slavery in which it is
now through the Mexican Constitu
ton"
