APPEAL TO ENGLISH CATHOLICS
TO END MISRULE IN ERlN--SlR
PHILIP GIBBS SAYS CONDITIONS
IN IRELAND DISGRACE EMPIRE
BISHOPS FIRST CONDEMNED,
NOW BESOUGHT TO HELP
CHIEF SECRETARY.
by N. G. w. C. News Service. J

(By N. G. w. e. News Service.)
Taking his stand upon the Eight
Beatitudes of the Sermon on the
Mount. which, he declared, are better
than the Fourteen Points of President
Wilson, Sir Philip Gibbs, the world
famous war correspondent, called
upon his fellow Catholics to give a
lead TO the world.
Sir Philips appeal was made at a
rally of the Catholic men of South
London, when more than a thousand
members of the Guild of the Blessed
Sacrament the Mayor of Lambeth,
and more than.a hundred clergy from
all parts of South London were pres
ent. The speaker who has seen all
the horrors of war at close quarters,
called for a reconciliation of the peo-
pies, and more especially for rec
onciliation between the peoples of
England and Ireland.
British Actions in ireland Disgrace.
Il am an Englishman,' said Sir
Philip, land | speak, therefore. from
the Englishman's point of view when |
say | view the state of Ireland of the
present time as great disgrace to the
British Empire.
I'm spite of many terrible things,
and things which | regret as being
criminal which are being done by the
extreme Sim Feiners of Ireland,
cannot defend for moment the black
guardly and brutal policy which is now
our regime in our sister island
Continuing, the speaker said: There
must be very quickly reconciliation
between England and Ireland. If that
is not done a great calamity is going
to come, and | believe it is going to
be the beginning of the end of us az
q great empire. But there must be
generosity on both sides: the Irish
must be generous to the English, and
the English must be generous to the
Irish, and if there is to be truce, if
we are to get rid of bloodshed, OF
which we have had too much, then
think the Irish people must make up
their minds not to go on shooting po-
q promise from England that we will
withdraw armed forces"
The Sermon on the Mount, the
speaker concluded, is plain and sim
pie law of doing to others as we would
wish them to do to us, and it uphOlds
the laws of justice and Of mercy. If
England would be Christian and gen
erous according to these principles
then the trouble with Ireland would
cease within week.

The great courteousness of the new

The absence of majority in the

representatives from all parties,

KU-kLUX-kLAN
RiGOTS FROM SOUTH ARE ORGAN.
iZING IN NORTHERN
STATES.

Warning against the intrusion Of
certain forms of organized bigotry
from the extreme South into the North
has been sounded by William j. Nc
Ginley of New York, supreme secre-
tary of the Knights of Columbus.
Reports state that the Ku-Klux-
Khan is organizing branch in New
York and branches in Chicago and
other cities. The commander or SUI
preme wizard as he is styled, of this
organization says, it is reported, that
there are thousands of new initiated
citizens of his invisible empire.
From what we know Of this or
ganization and similar societies
through their operations in the ex-
treme South, we feel justified in warn
ing all American citizens against in
visible empires whose power is seem
ingIy aimed at the peace and we'll
being of other citizens. Catholics and
the Knights of Columbus have been
and are objects of open hostility ON
the part of these organizations in the
extreme South. We shall no longer
lightly tolerate active bigotry that
aims to disturb the peace of society
by stirring up unfounded suspicious
among persons of different religious
views.
1.-THE Knights Of Columbus profess
no invisible power. The record OF
the X of C. during the war and after
the war and long before the war is
plain. We have served the country
quite visibly and intend to continue
that SERVICE And we intend, SO fal
az possible, to make folnenters OF re
ligious calumny and discard legally re
sponsible for their acts

A CATHOLIC PREMIER
DR.. MAYR HEADS AUSTRIAN GOV.
ERNMENT-AUSTRIA HAS FIRST
CATHOLIC PREMIER IN HALF
CENTURY,.
(By n. c. w. G. News Service.)

Austria now has Catholic Premier
for the first time since 1871.
DR.. Michael Mayr has been selected
for this post by the Christian Social
lists, who, as result of the recent
elections, are now the greatest party
in Austria. He will have the title and
portfolio of Chancellor of the Confed-
GRAFTON.
At the time of the formation of the
new Austrian state it was DR.. Mayr
who had the principal part in franz
ing the new federal plan of govern
ment. The state is now constituted
of eight federal territories, among
which Vienna, with it's two millions of
inhabitants, for the first time in his
tory, has complete sovereignty as a
special unit of the confederation.
Dr. Mayr is a professor of the uni
versi1y, a practical Catholic, and from
the beginning Of his political career
has been stout defender. Of the
Church and her interests. He was
born in Upper Austria in 1864 and
made his studies under the Benedic-
tines at kremsmuenster, one of the
oldest conventual schools of Austria
For some time he collaborated with
DR.. Ludwig Pastor, author of the
great History of the Popes" at the
Roman Institute of History. Suisse
quently he was chosen for a profes.
sorship at Innsbruck, where he
achieved an enviable reputation by
numerous works on Tyrolese history
notably Emperor Maximilianus' and
''Andreas Hofer" He is an expert in
| Tyrolese art and the possessor of a
precious collection of old pictures.
William Goode, the American presi
| dent OF the Austrian Section OF the
| Interallied Preparations Commission
made the acquaintance of DR.. Mayr in
| the course of the deliberations on the
subject Of the Austrian treaty, and
| found him man of relentless indus
| try. Mr.. Goode has since shown much
| benevolent interest in Austria and
! gave impetus to the movement for
| Austrian relief.

(By n. C. w. C. News Service.)
Fully one-third of the 1920 officers
and men whose bodies have been
brought back from France for rein
terment in Arlington National Gene
terry, were Catholics, according to in
formation received from Rev. Ignatius
Fealy, chaplain al Fort Myer, Virginia.
Father Fealy attends all the burials
in Arlington, and blesses the graves
that are to receive Catholic dead He
says that the relatives of Catholic
soldiers who lost their lives in the
fighting overseas show great anxiety
to have the bodies of these men lie in
Department notifies the next Of kin
of the return of soldiers bodies for
reburial in Arlington, many Catholics
write to him to bless the graves of
their relatives among the dead. A
military funeral, with an escort of SOL
diers from Fort Meyer, is given to
each of the dead on their arrival at
Arlington.
Father Fealy points out that there
is no chapel in Arlington and none at
Fort Myer, where large number of
Catholic soldiers are stationed He
expresses the hope that the War
Memorials Council, which is framing a
plan for the enlargement and beau
LITIGATION of the principal National
cemetery, will provide for chapel at
which religious services may be held.
There is now no Catholic church with
in several miles of the cemetery or
Fort Myer, Father Fealy says.
Including the 1920 dead from over
seas, there are now 28,104 officers and
men buried in Arlington. There is

When a priest in confession asks
an embarrassing question, is it not
permitted to inform him that you do
not care to tell2
1t certainly is permitted but in
that case the priest is not obliged to
give you dissolution. Confession is a
tribunal; it is also like medical eX
OF the soul carefully inspected by a
specialist. Nothing is to be gained
by refusing to tell the physician eX-
actly what ailments bother you: to
deny or conceal them would be TO risk
your physical health. In the confes-
sional the priest is entitled to ask
any question that has bearing on
the sins of the penitent: in this way
is he enabled to judge Of the precise
nature, gravity and condition of each
sin. In such a case one is obliged to
answer whatever questions are intend
ed to throw light on ones conscience,
although there is no obligation to an
swer perfectly irrelevant questions.
Do not forget that the priest has pre-
pared by long years OF study TO give
an official opinion on the state OF your
soul. There is nothing you can tell
that will startle him: he has already
been startled in the course of his
studies, and there is nothing really
new for him to learn about sin, its
enOrmity or it's embarrassing ma
ture. Besides, he also is bound to go
to confession, and hence he is al
ready inclined to sympathize with
you.
have hindered my sister from be-
coming a Nun because | consider the
life too rigorous and secluded. She
says that in doing this | am commit
ting a sin. Is she right?
She probably is right. Being man,
you will not have to be troubled by
the rigorous and secluded life Of Il
Nun. For this you may be grateful.
At the same time vocation to the
religious life is a call from God. If
YOUR sister feels this call, is OF age
and has the necessary qualifications,
why not let her try and see if the
rigorous and secluded life may not
be just what she desires. You are
right in explaining the life OF severity
led by the Nuns: you would surely do
wrong in opposing your sister in her
honest desire to become a Nun. If
she really has vocation, you are also
opposing God: very dangerous kind
Of opposition.
] find it difficult to tell some sins
to my regular confessor. Is it not bet
ter in such a case to go to another
priest?
You may suit your wishes in the
case, although if you swallow your
pride and disclose these sins to your
regular confessor he will be perhaps
in Il better position to help you spir-
itually. But suit yourself in the mat
ter. ....

May a person play cards for money
if he can afford to lose?


for money if certain conditions be full
filled These conditions are chiefly:
One should use his own money; this
money should not be necessary for his
own proper living nor for those de-
pendent upon him; no dishonesty in
play is allowed; one should not wager
more than he really can afford in any
kind of amusement. On the other
hand, a practice of playing cards or
other games of chance for money
often leads to various evils. This is
true especially of the young. Even
older persons not rarely allow them
selves 10 be carried away excessive
" by such indulgence. Hence the club
has become a nuisance very often in
that it eXerts a fascinating effect on
the card player to the detriment OF
ones family, not only from the stand
point of financial resources, but also
as regards the proper care and atten-
ton due the children, or even ones
own state To use in card playing,
or other such games. money that is
needed for ones dependents is sin
against justice, and frequently against
charity, too.
Are Douglas and Roger names Of
saints?
We find no name, Douglas, in the
list of saints. There are ten saints
bearing the name of Roger. One Of
these was Bishop of Baroli, and his
feast falls on October Is.
May one combine q family name
win that of saint in baptism?
Yes, but the name of the saint
should be the first
What is the meaning of the express
sion, to gain SO many days indul-
gence?
An indulgence is simply the remis-
sion OF the temporal punishment that
remains to be paid after the guilt of
sin has been wiped away. This pun
ishment may take various forms. In
the early Church it was very severe
and usually public. When the Church
grants an Indulgence the meaning is
1hat. in virtue of the power granted
her, she RENTS certain amount OF
this penalty Thus, forty days indul
gence means that through the per
Torrance of certain work on the
part of Catholic, the Church grants
him as much remission of this pun
ishment as he would have earned il
the early days by corresponding
penance of forty days.
