GIFT TO KNIGHTS
TEN-ACRE TRACT GIVEN TO x. OF
c. IN OREGON.

Samuel J. German of Edmonton,
Alberta, Canada, has given to the
Portland, Oregon, Council, knights of
Columbus, a tract of land on Colum-
bia Highway, comprising ten acres.
The only consideration required by
Mr.. German is that the property be
utilized within a reasonable time by
the knights as summer home and
club house.
The property is very beautifully sit
uated on the Highway, about thirty
five miles from Portland, directly op-
posite Beacon Rock in the shadow of
the two peaks known as st. Peters
Dome and Cathedral Point.
1t is hoped to build church on the
property in the near future, and other
plans to make the location a Catholic
center are being formulated.

problems that the conference at
tempted to solve with judgment
ripened by the varied experiences ol
the past few years.

City Hall Place and Duane Street.
His memory was commemorated at a
solemn Requiem High Mass sung at

Agathas that the monument contain

nell, who died in Genoa, his heart
was taken to Rome and his body to
Ireland, where it is inferred in Glas-
nevin Cemetery, Dublin.

Losses In War.

How many of your people fell vic
tins to the war;" the Archbishop was
asked.
I'VE lost about 175,O00 by starva-
tiOn and our numbers have now been
reduced to about 5000. But the
elimination Of the Turk from the con-
troll of Syria is wonderful recon-
pense for our years of suffering. With
conditions as they are we are content.
France has the mandate for Syria and
France has always been the firm
friend of the MarOnites. Even when
the French government was persecut-
ing the French Catholic clergy they
protected us against the rapacity of
the Turks, and we were not as much
oppressed as were the Christians of
Armenia, where the Turk seems al
ways to have free hand. Our people
look to France as our really great
friend, and the fact that We are thus
officially placed under her protection
has proven of the utmost satisfaction
to our people and clergy alike.
My trip to this country has been
to make a study Of conditions here.

Are Real Catholics.

There are many Catholics who
know little or nothing of the Maronite
Church, or even that it is Catholic
Church under the dominion of the
Holy Father. The only real difference
between the Maronite and the Latin
Church is that the liturgical language
of the Maronites is Syriac, where that
of the Catholic Church generally is
Latin. The Maronites hear the gospel
read in an Arabic dialect, the language
of the people, just as we have it in
English in this country. Then the
Maronites have a married clergy, to
the extent that a married man may be
ordained priest, but a single priest
may not be married. Archbishop
Khouri himself is firm believer in a
celibate clergy.

A Story of Shame.

A Story of Shame.
Is this the story of shame and dis
grace, the speaker asked, which was
to go down to future generations? If
the goth century saw the reproach to
Christendom of the sacred spots con-
secrated by the life and death of the
Savior of mankind blotted out by the
valor of allied soldiers, was it too
much to expect that the stream of
Christian blood shed by the haters of
the Cross and of Christianity, should
be stayed by allied diplomacy, should
secure the other. The people demand
it in the name of God and of Chris
tianity and humanity. But they de-
mand something more
Bring Criminals to Justice.
The great men of the world have
spent a great deal of time, we are
told, in preparing a list of war Grim
inals with view to bringing them to
justice. But are the criminals who
slaughtered whole provinces in cold
blood to go scot free? The speaker
did not know if the Sultan represent
ed friendly or a hostile power; one
thing he did know, he represented a
criminal power STEPPED to it's eyes in
Christian blood. The great question
seemed to be whether the Sultan
should be permitted to remain in Con-
stantinople, or to shift across the Bos-
phOruS; he did not think he should be
allowed to do either, but should be
made by the great statesmen in the
world to take his place in the murder
er's dock, to be judged by the con-
science of Christendom. The speaker
had heard it said that the Sultan was
not himself guilty, but his ministers.
Then hang his minister's 1t was no
use looking for the Turkish con-
science.

AS noted in our last issue, the Most
Rev. Archbishop Chekrallah Khouri
Roman Catholic Maronte MetropOli
tan of the diocese OF Tyre and SidOn
in Syria, is in New York as the start
ing point on a tour of the United

ing about 10000 souls. After that
he will go to South America to visit
his cOreligiOnists in that great con
tinent. He is here with the permis-
sion of His Holiness, Pope Benedict
XIV, and on his return to his See, will
stop in Rome and give a detailed re-
port Of his journey to the Holy Father
Maronites under Egypt.
Before Archbishop Khouri really
starts on his visit of inspection he will
go to Baltimore and pay his respects
to His Eminence James Cardinal Glib.
bOns and to Washington where he will
visit Archbishop BOnZano, the Apostle

tive to relief work in Syria both as
to its past and future administration.
AS a matter of church law, the Mar
Onites in this country are under the
jurisdiction of the See of Egypt, which
is a Vicar Patriarchate but Arch
bishop KhOuri was the highest prelate
in the Church who could be spared for
this visit. He is the highest dignitary
of the MarOnte rite who has ever
visited this country, and he has thus
far met with a most affectionate and
enthusiastic welcome from his fellow
cOuntrymen whom circumstances has
brought to this country.

BITTER ARRAIGNMENT OF d.
PLOMACY WHICH PERMITS MAS
MENIA - BRITISH CATHOLICS
DENOUNcE ATROCITIES.

Addressing a meeting in Trafalgar
Square, London, last month, on be-
half of the prosecuted Armenians, the
Right Reverend Monsignor Grosch
asked who is going to be held respon-
sible for these crimes against human
ity, which are defiling the history of
the human race in the Goth century.
This was obviously a question more
easily asked than answered, but he
took it as the meaning of that dem
Onstration, that the citizens of London
were determined that no part of the
responsibility should rest upon them
He understood that the meeting that
afternoon was to give voice to their
determination that as far as they,
the citizens of London, could effect
it, these things must stop. The Grim
inals must be brought to justice, and
such crimes must be made impossible
for the future.
Is the Turk a Conqueror?
Monsignor Grosch invited his hear,
ers to go forward in imagination to
1850 or 1860, and see the children of a
future generation reading the history
Of today. They would read of whole
Christian nations being blotted out in
blOod-men, women, and children
They would ask, was this in the great
war? And the answer, of truth, would
have to be, it was before the great
war, during the great war, and after
the great war; and then the children
would ask, was the Turk then master
of the world; had the Turk conquered
the world, with England and France
lying at the foot of Turkey; and Italy
and the millions of America, were
they all conquered? And the answer
would have to be, No! The British

wish to go among our people and en-
courage them spiritually and to see
that they keep the faith as pure in this
air of freedom as it has been kept for
the centuries in the face of oppres-
sion"
The Archbishop did not know just
how long he would be in this country.
Our people," he said do not know
much of the United States and they
will learn many things when l get
back that will prove amazing to them" "
Asked as to the number of churches
in the Lebanon, His Grace said:
"There are about 1000 villages, and
each has at least one church. The
more populous ones have more, but
there is always at least one. Our
population is about 65 per cent Mar
onite, the rest being made up of
Greek Orthodox, Greek Melchite, Mos
lens, etc
Prosecuted BY Turks.
But have not the Maronites been
able to maintain some form of auton-
omy under the Turkish Government? ."
Yes. The Turks have never been
able to overwhelm us and though they
have tried it for ages, in modern times
they seem to have given it up as hope
less. In our mountainous country we
were not so easy to get at as the
ArmenianS, so those unfortunate
Christians suffered most from the
savagery of the Turks. The Turkish
government has sought from time to
time to exercise a veto power over
the appointment and assignment of
Maronite clergy, but we have always
ignored any orders of that kind and
Turkey has not sought to resort to
force to compel us to bow to the Sui
tan's will. In the matter of inherit
ance we have been given full freedom
and also freedom in the matter of mar
riages. Where the care of orphans
came up, the Turkish government was
guided by our wishes and gave us
free hand. But our liberties were al
ways on Sufferance and were made
possible by the unbending support of
France upon which we could always
rely. 1t is because of this that our
people are so elated at the Peace Con-
ference having confided our destinies
sc our old friend. England and the
United States are, of course, richer
,+,,,@
terial viewpoint our development
would be more rapid had one of these
two great peoples taken the mandate,
but our people have not given thought
to that They know France, and they
want France"
