NATION.
The results of the Knights of Co
lumbus Peace Convention, held in
Buffalo last week, are being felt in
terms of intensified activity in every

Navy Franklin Roosevelt, and Ad-

naval operations, the Knights
launched their warfare on Bolshevism

make for improvement in the lot of
all taking advantage of it.
The 1900 councils of the K. of c.

brought into line as focal points for
the educational campaign. The
Knights voted $4,000 to provide for

York two weeks ago, the plan being
the embodiment of the advice of some
of the nations best known educators.

A SENSATIONAL STATEMENT
POLISH DEPUTY ACCUSES JEWISH
TRADERS OF EXTORTION
AND PRoFITEERING

In the Polish parliament the deputy
for Upper Silesia, M. Korfanty, a
Catholic Pole who sat for his district
in the late German Reichstag, made
a sensational statement in which he
accused the Jewish traders of Poland
of extortion and profiteering He
further accused the Jews of being the
directing force of the Bolshevist gov
eminent in Russia, and stated that
the Boleshevisk press is entirely in
their hands. The charge of Bolshev-
ism was warmly contested by Munter
Diamand, a prominent Jewish deputy,
but the resolution moved by M. Kor-
fanty was passed by considerable
majority.

Among the population Of South
Carolina there have been counted
so per cent illiterates of the entire
population, of that of New York
state, Is, and of that of Minnesota
only IA per cent. The people OF
Minnesota is largely immigrant, sc
is that of New York. The immi,
grants of South Carolina, and in
all the southern states, with few
exceptions (Texas, Louisiana, Ar
kansas) are neglible as compared
with the native born. In view OF
these official figures on illiteracy
in the South it can hardly be con.
tended that the high percentage
of illiteracy in those parts is due
to the immigration, at least not to
immigration alone. There are
nine million illiterates in the coun-
try, children, of course, not
counted.

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE
KING ALCOHOL.
Written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Nina.)


written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Nina.)
Oh. foolish ones to cheer and shout,
That the Kaiser is over-thrown,
And at the fate of King Alcohol
They make a plaintive moan.
'Tis we'll, indeed, the wild career, :.
Of the war-mad lord is checked,
How many a happy home and life, :
Has King Alcohol also wrecked? ..
Of course, he comes with merry jest,
And offers the glass that cheers;
But little he cares for the child he
robs,
Or some woman's bitter tears.
Think of our brave soldier-lads,
Who lived and loved-and fell )
Upon shell-plowed battlefield,
That we in peace might dwell.
They did not use this Demons draught
To help them in the fight,
They loved God and country though
And fought nobly for the right.
He did not aid to bring us peace,
Or check the maddened foe,
Why give him shelter in our land?
Oh! why not bid him go?
Let us keep this land of ours,
Pure and sweet and fair;
In memory of our dear boys
Who are sleeping cover there"

INTERFERENCE IN FRANCE.

Figures compiled in 1907 under the
direction of the French Ministry of
the Interior showed that of 71,551 in
mates of insane asylums, 1882, or 1876
per cent, were there as the direct or
indirect result of alcohol.
French physicians and statesmen
have never ceased to warn. Long
before the war physicians had called
attention to the fact that statistics on
the consumption of alcohol according
to departments in France showed a
parallel with those of tuberculosis.
DR.. jacques Bertillon declared that
Alcohol appears to be the most dead
ly cause of the weakening of the or
ganism in preparation for tuberculo-
sis. 1t is the master cause. All other
causes disappear in comparison" Dr.
Roubinovitch, of the Saltpetriere, de-
clared: They talk about the great
scourge, tuberculosis, which decimates
France. The greatest scourge, how
ever, is alcoholism. 1t is this which
gives up the key to the house and per-
mits the sacking. There is no more
burning question than the battle
against this cause of all other
scourges" And, again, Dr. LandoW-
zy, in picturesque phrase, declared,
alcoholism prepares the bed for tu-
berculosis'
"The scourge of drink" wrote NJ.
Bourgeois, an eX-cabinet minister,
has a permanent place in all our So
cial miseries. We meet it every.
where. 1t hides itself behind tubercu-
losis, insanity and crime, but it is al
ways at the bottom of our evils and
degeneracies."

A FITTING MEMORIAL
RETURNED SOLDIERS ERECT
ALTAR IN PARISH CHURCH..

The magnificent new main altar and
the four beautiful side affairs OF st.
Joseph's Church, Park View, N. M,
were solemnly blessed by Most Rev
erend Albert Dagger, o. F. M, D. D.,
on Wednesday, July %. The main
altar is a gift of the soldier boys of
the parish in gratitude for favors be-
slowed upon them during the war.
Of the 104 soldiers of st. Joseph's
parish only one died and he passed
away at one of the camps, victim OF
influenza. Of the 60 soldiers who
went across, and who took part in
the great battles, not one lost his life.
For this singular protection the sol
diers of Park View decided to erect
a new altar in their parish church.

"When the proposition is on to
tax the churches, who comes to
the defense? The Catholic paper.
When bigotry wants to inspect the
converts, who invokes public
opinion against the measure? The
Catholic paper. When the candi-

cause of his religion, who parties
the assault? The Catholic paper.
And SO you may answer as to a
score of like emergencies. This

There were many predictions of a
return to normal output by early next
week. Another cold wave was report
