Knights of Columbus Secretary, is
popular already in many camps and

POLISH BISHOPS MURDERED
THEY OPENED CHURCHES FOR
JEWISH REFUGEES DURING
RECENT POGROM.

Two Polish Bishops have been muir
dered by the Bolshevik bands of Pet
lura, in the persons of the Bishop of
Zytomis, Mgr Dubowski and his coad-
jutor, Mgr. Godlewski. And yet, dur
ing the recent pogrom by the Ukrain-
ians, this Bishop opened his churches
and cathedral to give shelter to, Jew
ish refugees.
In the province of Volhynia, also in
that of Pedalia and the Ukraine, the
churches were profaned, the priests
massacred and the Polish population
savagely martyred. The courageous
Bishop of Minsk, Mgr. Lozinski, has
been obliged to flee disguised as a
peasant. The Bolsheviks have set a
price of 10000 roubles on his head.

CENTURY Old ABBEY
HAS BEEN SOLD AND TRAPPlS1
MONKS RETURN TO FRANCE.

After a century of effort to make
self-supporting and successful the
Trappist Monastery of Notre Dame
du Petit Clairvaux, at Tracadie, Nova
Scotia, it has been decided by the
Superior in France to dispose of the
property and bring the members of
the community to France.
The monastery was established by
Father Vincent Paul, who, with other
Trappists had been expelled from
France and came to the United States
and thence to Nova Scotia, where he
obtained permission from his supe-
riors to found monastery. He
bought site at Big Tracadie in JAM
uary, 1919, and four years later he
went to France and brought back
with him four religious, the first

RELIGIOUS DIFFERENCES
THE RELIGIOUS SIDE OF THE

KEPT OUT OF PAPERS.

Undercurrents of diplomacy, bitter
to the limit because religious differ
ences are mixed into them, are run
Paris, although not reported in the
newspapers. Two parties oppose each
other of course, and both are talking.
The Franciscans say they have re-
ceived notice that their rights, cen
turtles old, are to be curtailed in the
Divine Word, the great German Cath
Ollie missionaries Of Africa, say they
have orders to leave, because Of their
national origin and language. Cath
Ollie societies in Rome are protesting
that their workers in the Holy Land
first and last, and not German biased,
merely because they speak the Ger
man language. Charges are made to
the Paris diplomatists that British
and American Protestant missionary
societies are behind the Protestant
plans.
Since 1888 the Orders of Friars
Minor have been charged with the
worship of the Latin rite in Jerusa-
| lem, Nazareth and Bethlehem. The
right was gained through King Rob-
ert of Sicily, after long negotiations
with the Musselmans and much ex-
pense. From the fourth almost to
the ninth centuries shrines from the
Holy Land belonged to the Catholic
Church. They were interrupted in
administration by the Catholic schism
in the eleventh century, but restored
in the fourteenth century, they have
maintained to this day. The Society
of the Divine Word, German in
origin, has spread its work through
all of German Africa and to some
English portions as well. Now the
charge is made that Lutheran mis-
sions, also German, are not disturbed
by the Paris negotiators. A general
upheaval is going on, and Paris is

"SALVAGE DEPARTMENT" START
ED IN PITTSBURG BY THE ST.
VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY.

The St. Vincent de Paul Society of
the Diocese of Pittsburg is about to
inaugurate a salvage department.
Other charity organizations through
out the United States have had such
salvage departments for years.
This now means that the local ST..
Vincent de Paul Society is about to
turn into money, for the benefit of
the Catholic poor children of the city,
the waste material that has hitherto
been destroyed, or given away to
others. A manager has been en-

HOSPITAL AND HOME
SISTERS OF ST. JOSEPH TO BUILD
IN WESTERN CITY.

A splendid stride in the work of the
Sisterhood of st. Joseph in the Inland
Empire is the announcement that a
hospital to cost $4,000 is to be erected
this summer at 'Pasco, Wash, an i'm
portant and growing railway center.
The structure is to be five stories, the
first building of this height in the
town. The site selected adjoins st.
Patrick's Church.
Five years ago the Sisterhood
leased hotel building, converted it
into hospital and commenced their
ministrations of mercy. The work has
long since outgrown the facilities
available, and the new and modern
structure for which ground is soon to
be broken is the natural solution of
the problem.
In connection with the new hospital
will be nurses training school. The
estimated cost of construction is
$4,000 of which portion will be
raised locally and the. balance will be
raised in the form of a loan by the
| Catholic Sisters, who will have charge
| of the hospital, the loan to be paid
from the earnings of the institution.

SUPPLY new WANT
K. OF c. MAKE SHIPMENT OF
CoRNcoB PIPES TO SOLDIERS,

AS the time for leaving the shores
of France approaches. the American
doughboy has suddenly taken a great
fancy to the corncob pipe, and in
many instances it has replaced the
cigarette in popularity with the sol
diers.
The Knights of Columbus Commit
tee on War Activities has received an
urgent appeal for corncobs from the
men awaiting embarkation at Brest
and from Siberia.
William P Larkin, Overseas Di-
rector of the X. of C. Activities, has
ordered a large shipment of corncob
pipes, to satisfy this new want of the
doughboys, and they will be shipped
Immediately. Besides the millions of
cigarette packages and bags of tobac-
co the K. of C. has sent 70 France,
Mr.. Larkin says there will be corncobs
enough so that every one of the AGO.

FATHER DUFFY
COLONEL HAS HIGH PRAISE FOR
CHAPLAIN.

1t was splendid tribute that
Colonel Rowland paid to the old
Sixty-ninth regiment and to it's heroic
chaplain, Father Duffy, when, on
reaching New York, he said:
''The old Sixty-ninth regiment was
the finest organization in the .Ameri-
can army. Those boys have grit. We
marched into Germany without man
dropping out of line. Some walked
over the gravel road and through the
mud with shoe soles worn clean off
They have, wonderful grit.
Il would not think of leaving New
York without calling on Father Fran
els Duffy. He is the finest man in the
world"
Will the statement of Colonel How
land that 1.-The old Sixty-ninth regi
ment was the finest organization in
the American army" find a place in
the public school histories of the late
war?

uttered by Indian orators within my

what pity it was that these senti

friends of our people. And whatever
is true with regard to speech that

feeling is also true in practical affairs

it was impossible for them to go in
search of food. So great was the
number of these unfortunates that
those who were wont to give help
were finally obliged to desist because
of the wants. that were felt in their
own families. Then the people, in
order to relieve their famine, began
to eat blood, carcasses, cats, dogs,
| and even human flesh. In fact certain
of the Mussulmans secretly cut the
threats of children, and more often of
Christians, and privately cooked the
meat which afterwards they sold as
edible meat. Twenty human heads
between small and large ones were
found in the house of one of these
cannibals. Other Mahomedans by de-
ceit would draw persons to their own
houses and kill them with bestial
cruelty, and after taking their clothes
and money would throw the corpses
into the wells.
In one Syrian parish alone, called
S. Thomas, which numbers about $50
families, $50 persons died from hun
ger, and just as many died in war and
from epidemics In another parish
called Miskinta, belonging to the Syro-
lies, 400 persons died of hunger.
From these figures you can gather the
number of deaths from famine, war
and pestilence in the other Syrian
parishes of this city and the surround
ing villages, as also of those that oc.
CURED in other parishes
Priests Are PenniIess.
AS for us priests who, as you know,
are the confidants of the people, we
saw the faithful of our communities
having unceasing recourse to us in all
their needs. But reduced as we were
we could only try to offer them
warmth in their state of almost max
edness and mingle our tears with
theirs in order to calm their hunger
and comfort and encourage them as
best we knew how. AS a matter of
fact we have no other resource, as
you well know, than the offerings the
people make for Masses. His Beati-
tude Monsig. Patriarch Ignatius Eff
frem Rahmani has not failed to send
constantly to the Syrian communities
substantial help, and to the priests
Mass intentions. His Beatitude En-
manuel Thomas Patriarch of the Syro-
Chaldeans did the same for his clergy
and people. But unfortunately all
these sums by reason of the deprecia-
ton of Turkish paper money lost
seven-eighths of their nominal value.
| Thus the franc, 20 cents, was reduced
! to 21s cents. Now, since the occupa-
ton of Mossoul by the English troops
the situation is better and there is
strong hope that under their regime
the conditions may be even more i'm
proved, but high prices still prevail
The Syrian clergy of Mossoul is
stripped of everything and has not
even the means of subsistence.
Wherefore you would perform a great
work of charity if you would interest
yourself in their condition and in that
OF the respective communities as also
in the plight of those women, girls
and children who are still detained
by the Arabs and Kurds; interest
yourself in their behalf in high and
authoritative circles and with gener-
Gus persons that these poor people
may have wherewith to satisfy their
hunger and their most urgent and
necessary wants.

Health tracts have also been trans

hoped. will be of great assistance in
the work of bringing about better
health conditions among the Indians.
Letters pour into his office every day
from Choctaw Indians all over Okla

of Mississippi, written in the Choctaw

to discharges and allotment tangles.
In many instances they come from
Indian women whose sons, husbands

whom they are unable to obtain news.
They come to Father Ketcham with
their troubles and beg him to get
news of their loved ones. If it is
within human power to do this, it is

KOSHER PROFITEERING.

When we consider the varied I'M
accountable acts and doings of man
kind, even of it's most civilized por-
ton, we are irresistibly led to the
conclusion that ninety-nine percent
of it consists of the following three
parts: one-third crazy; one-third
idiotic; and one-third rascally and
hypocritical.
The present agitation regarding
the high cost of living, boarding,
profteering, gouging, etc, is one
more confirmation of our conclu-
sion. What is all this excitement
about? And what will it all end in?
In nothing, of course. How can it
be otherwise?
Profteering has been going on
ever since man began to trade, bar
ter, exchange, sell and do business.
What is the incentive, motive, rea-
son, of all business and all effort?

THE SOCIAL SERVICE
CENTER OF THE MINNIE
APOLIS TALMUD TORAH

APOLIS TALMUD TORAH
The Minneapolis Talmud Torah
authorities are to be heartily con-
graduated upon their final success
full arrangements to- set the social
service department of their institu-
ton in full operation. They have
worked faithfully and arduously to-
ward this contamination. And their
reward is an awakened interest and
pledged support for, their enter
prise on the part of the best ele-
ments of the Jewish community.
To have engaged such a trained
and experienced social worker as
Miss Beatrice Cohen as the execu-
tive director of the new depart
ment is no small item in the sue
cessful achievement. Miss Cohen
may feel assured of the hearty CO.
operation of all who are interested
in the welfare of the community in
all her worthy efforts.
There is one thing against which
the leaders and workers of the new
Center must be cautioned, and that
is the starting of too many activities
at once, and especially the dupli-
cation of such work as is carried on
in the neighborhood just as
efficiently by other agencies, the
spreading out and thinning of their
efforts over too large and varied
field, the frittering away of their
energies on small and unessential
matters. It is a common failing of
modern social enterprises and phil
anthropic activities in our country.
We all lay more store by the big
ness of a thing, it's quantity, extent,
and variety than on it's value, it's
effectiveness, and the real benefits
secured. Listing and cataloguing
many and varied items looks we'll
on paper, makes a good showing.
And it always involves an expendi-
ture of energy that could be more
proftably employed when concen-
trated on limited number of
things. The saying of our old
teachers is most fitting1y applica-
bic here: If you have seized much,
you have not seized at all.
We have confidence in the practi-
cal good sense and wisdom of the
