 As a consequence there came an enormous increase in the exports of manufactures from the United States. which jumped from $1,1l7000, GOO in 1913. the last peace year prior to the war. to S3.4S6, ,000000 in the first peace year following the war. This phenom- emal increase in our own exports, coupled with the decline in the eX- ports of our former rivals has placed us clearly in the lead among the worlds exporters of manufactures. for of course none of our former rivals. except possibly Great Britain, has made any considerable progress in the establishment of their eXporta- tions of manufactures.
 The only country in which the ex- ports of manufactures in 1919 approx innate those of the United States, says the Bank s statement, is Great Bri- tain, whose official figures show total exports Of all domestic products in the full year eff based upon the normal valuation of the pound sterling) S3,- SS3,O00 ,0GO, and of articles wholly or mainly manufactured" s3,075. 100000 as against our own total of SS.iS6. 600 .000 of wholly or mainly manufactured ar ticles in the same period.

ALIEN MYSTIC RESIDENT
 SITES FOR HIS pR0prprv

The case of John Rossie of Mystic who has brought suit in the Connecti- cut district of the U. s. Supreme court against Francis P. Garvin. [. & alien property custodian. has excited much in- terest in law circles all oeer the coun- try. The court is now in session in the federal building at New Haven. Judge Edwin s. Thomas presiding.
 Rossie is German and had in his keeping certain property and sums of money valued at almost $1,000, 900,
 which belonged to the firm of Gebruder Rossie, a corporation in Sechteln, Ger
 many. in which Rossie was interested.
 At, the outbreak of the war the property and money in liberty bonds and cash
 amount to $S73,526 were taken from him by the Government in accordance with Il alien property law.
 Rossie is now suing to regain seven per cent. of the confiscated property It is generally believed that the case will go to the U. s. supreme court
 and as it is the first of it's kind, the I judgments and opinions handed down by
 Judge Thomas and the superior and su- i preme- courts will have a great deal of 1 bearing on the handling of similar eases in the future.
 Whether the Gebruder Rossie is st . l in operation in Germany or not is not definitely known. Rossie has a brother 1 Ernest also of Mystic who has a like case pending in the court.

United States Largest Exporter of
 Manufacturers.

The United States is still leading the world as an exporter of manufac- tureS The total value of manufac- lures exported from this country in the calendar year 1919 was S3,4S6,- OO0,OO0.
 This figure of s3,4S6, 900, 900 worth of manufactures exported in 1919, says a statement by The National City Bank of New York, leaves the United States still clearly in the lead as an exporter of manufactures. In the year preceding the war q913), our expor- tation of manufactures amounted to $L117,000,GO0, and in 1919, the first full peace year following the war. S34S6.- 0O0,OO0, or three times as much in value in 1919 as in 1915
 This phenomenally large total of manufactures exported in the first full peace year, $3,4S6, ,OO0,O0O keeps us.
 says the Banks statement, at inc head of the list of worlds exporters of manufactures. Prior to the war the United States ranked third among the list of nations exporting manufactures. 1 Great Britain being first. Germany a close second. and the United States third, with France a close fourth.
 With the beginning of the war the outflow of manufactures from inc European countries was greatly re- duced. Germany. of course. was cut off absolutely from the world markets and the manufacturers Of Great Rri- tain and France found it necessary to
 turn their attention especially to the requirements of the home market.

SCRIPTURE PASSAGES. CITED
 PROVE CHRIsT's DIVINITY

Resuning his series of sermons on Gods Works, interrupted by the special services of Lent, Rev. Myles P. Calvin preached at the high mass in St. Pat ricl1's church Sunday on the only com plete atonement for the sin of our First Parents, which the Creator could find acceptable. Such reparation could not manifestly be made by any man, steep ed in sin as men had grown to be it could not, on the other hand, be made by God alone since God being perfect hap piness, can know no suffering. Logical ly, then such atonement must be made by a being of two-fold nature, God and man, the Goldman, as the Son of God became for sinful mans redemption. There are persons, even some calling themselves Christians, who maintain that Christ was admittedly a perfect man, the Just Man, to be taken as mems model and eXemplar, yet who deny His dividing. This. too, although, follow 1 ing Gods promise that the sin of Eden should be atened for, during long ages there arose prophets who foretold min utely the circumstances of the Redemp- tion
 To Catholics, whose religion is based wholly upon the Scriptures, it would | never occur to doubt the verity of these predictions, so convincngly fulfilled. The
 preacher cited the words of Isaiah, of I La ' u, III Ji OtlltnilS tIte GOtliiS bl iAt Messiah But even these inspiried au- thorities are surpassed by another proof the. Saviours own words when ques-
 toned in the tribunal, His assurance tC
 the high priest as we'll as the fact that
 He did not controvert Peter who dec!ar-
 ed belief in Him as the Son of the Liv-
 ing God likewise the heavenly assur-
 ance at the time of Christ's baptism
 Other Scriptural proofs were cited, cul
 minat ting with the circumstances of tho
 Ressurection.
 Believing firmly in the divinity of tn, Redeemer, the Second Person of th' Blessed Trinity, what, then, the preach CT asked should be the duty of all Cath olics? First, whenever this fact of di vinity is questioned or assailed to do al possible to prove that Christ is Go' by quoting well known Scriptural rec ords which affirm it. Secondly, to s live as to follow as faithfully as possi ? be in the footsteps of the perfect EX emplar and Teacher the compaSsionat Saviour, Who became Man for the re
 demption of a sinful world.
