GERMAN CATHOLIC CONGRESS
PETITION HOLY FATHER AND
FRENCH CATHOLICS FOR RE-
TURN OF PRISONERS,

An important Catholic Congress,
held several weeks ago at Reckling-
hansen, Westphalia, drew up and for
warded two petitions, one addressed
to the Holy Father, the other to the
Catholics of France. In the first,
which was sent through the Papal
Nuncio at Munich, the president of the
Regional Congress, DR.. Bauer, appeals
to the Pope to intercede that the pris-
oners, who still remain in the hands of
the Allies, may speedily be returned to
their homes. In the second, French
Catholics are asked, in behalf of a
hundred thousand Westphalian Catho-
Ilics assembled under the auspices of
the Bishop of Muenster, to use their
influence to deliver the prisoners of
Germany still in France and permit
them to return home, in the name OF
HChristiah charity and as proof OF
their love of justice.
This appeal has not left French
Catholics insensible, despite the bit
terness which they still feel at the
treatment of their own prisoners dur
ing the War, when no Catholic infiu
ence lightened their tortures. More
lover, there is strong feeling in
France that there are still Allied pris
oners in Germany; and movement
is on foot to ask the government tt
authorize commission of Allied ex
prisoners to go into Germany anG
search the country for missing men
The prisoners say they know will
whom they have to deal, and that the!
are more likely than others to dis
cover the missing.

A CHAPLA.||A|S' CORPS
PROPOSED MEASURE TO EsTAB-
LISH U. S. CHAPLAINs' CORPS
-CAPPER BILL HAS BEEN IN
PRODUCED IN CONGRESS.

A measure known as the Capper
bill has been introduced in congress,
the object of which is to establish
Chaplains' Corps, which is to be ad-
ministered by chaplains representing
the various churches Of the country
1t was prepared by the General Com
mittee on Army and Navy Chaplains
after consultation with members of
the Catholic Episcopacy and promi-
nent clergymen of Protestant denom-
nations.
A Chaplains' Corps would provide
proper assignments with regard to
the predominant religion of the regi-
ment and other units. If this were
the case it would not happen that a
Protestant chaplain would, be as
signed to a regiment predominantly
Catholic, or a Jewish chaplain to a
unit in which there were practically
none of his faith. 1t would provide
for the proper training of chaplains
entering the service in preparatory
or training school and promote har
mony and efficiency.
In the Canadian and in the British
service, with smaller permanent
chaplain personnel than now author
lied by law for our army, the Chap
lain General has the rank of Major
General. There were, during the war
in the British service, one Chaplain
| General with the rank of Major Gen
eral, one Assistant Chaplain Genera
with the rank of Major General, on.
Principal Chaplain General with tn,
rank of Major General, and six Prin
cipal Chaplains with the rank o
Brigadier General.
If the United States Army is to de
velop and hold the type of men need
ed for the chaplaincy in the new arm.
some consider it necessary to estab
ish similar grades here.
II According to the bill now befor,
congress, chaplains shall have rank
pay, and allowances as follows: Civ
per cent shall have the rank, pay, an,
allowances of Colonel; ten per cen
the rank, pay and allowances of Lier
tenant Colonel; fifteen per cent tn
rank, pay and allowances of Major
forty-fve per- cent the. rank, pay an
!. allowances of Captain, and twenty-fiv
tper cent the rank, pay and allowance
! of First Lieutenant"

ITALIAN GENEROSITY
RED CROSS TO CARE FOR AUS
TRAN CHILDREN.

The Italian embassy has informed
the burgomaster of Vienna that the
Italian Red Cross is ready to offer cor.
dial hospitality to $4,000 Austrian chill
dren. Most of these children, in a
state of semi-starvation, will find tenn
porary homes in Rome, where they
will be well cared for. .4....
This. is typical instance of the
generous psychology of the Italians
their own children have been starved
and ill-treated in the invaded prov.
inces by the Austrians; there is hard
ly a family that does not mourn a
son or relative killed in action, and
still, when the wall of Austria's starv.
ing children reaches her ears, Italy,
forgetting everything, opens wide her
motherly arms. g.

THE ARMEN|ANS
PROTECTION OF ARMENiANS CON-

The protection of the Armenian
Christians in the East has been con-
fided to France, and thus again her
prerogatives in the East are strength
ened Under the terms of the agree
ment with Great Britain, a portion of
Syria and Silesia are confided to
France, together with twelve thousand
Armenian refugees from Aleppo, while
others are to follow.
Nearly all these people are Catho-
lies; and there is talk of the consti-
tuition of vast Armenian state,
stretching from one sea- tor the other,
a Catholic nation; but the Turks have
SO thoroughly done their work of ex-
terminal ton, that it is difficult. to see
how such a dream can be realized.

ARCHBISHOP" MATHEW
LEADER IN OLD CATHOLIC MOVE
MENT DIED LAST MoNTH-WAs
ORDAINED A PRIEST AND FIG
URED IN RELIGIOUS cONTROV-
ERSjES.

In recording the death of ''Archbish-
OPP Mathew of the "Old Catholic"
schism, the London Times recalls the
fact that he was the unsuccessful
plaintiff in a libel action against that
paper in April, 1913, and summarizes
as follows the leading facts in his ca
reer as brought out at the trial.
He was born in France in 1852.
His father was brevet-major in the
23rd native regiment Bombay Infan
try; his grandfather also was SOL
der, and he (the plaintiff) was de-
scended directly from the first Earl
of Landau, of the peerage of Ireland.
He was educated at Cheltenham Col
lege. Bonn, and Stuttgart. and he had
studied theology at st. Peters Theo-
logical College, at Glasgow. In 1877
he became a priest of the Roman
Catholic Church, and, after having
charge of missions at Dunstan-on-
Tyne and Trowbridge, he was given a
charge at Bath. According to his
counsel, he found in 1889 that he had
doubts on the doctrine of Papal infal-
Utility; hence he ceased to belong to
the Roman Catholic Church, and re-
signed his charge, and lived for some
years in retirement.
| In 1907 he joined the Old Catholic
| Church, which had it's origin in Hol
land early in the 18th century, owing
to differences between the Roman
l n cot in anH thc
Pope. One of the tenets of the Ole
Catholic Church was that of episco
pal succession Dr. Mathew became
an active member of the Church an(
was consecrated Bishop" in 1908 a

Catholic priests as Bishops of the OLE
Catholic Church, the special object o
this action being that in the event o
his own death these two Bishops
might consecrate his successor. 9th
lerwise they were to make no use o
their episcopacy.

children, and he stated that he trie'

being done he might be relieved fror

He refused, he said, to leave his wife

GOOD PARISH RECORD

An extraordinary financial record
was made in 1919 by the new parish
of st. Peter in Fleming, Colo, where,
with fifty families in the total men,
bership, $11,764.95 was contributed.
The Rev. P. P. Kluck is pastor. A
new rectory was constructed during
the year, and so, splendidly did the
people give towards the parish that a
debt of but s1,S59.s7 remained at the
close of 1919.

by while the guard and the former

convinced his friend that maybe. after
all. this. fellow McAdoo wasn't much
