AN IRISH RUSSIAN
BISHOP OROURkE OF RIGA DE.
SCENDANT OF ExILED cELTS.

Last month the Eternal City saw
an interesting visitor in the person OF
the Right Rev. Edward O'Rourke
Bishop of Riga, a scion of one of the
most ancient and illustrious families
of the Old World.
Bishop O'Rourke's family stood by
James II like so many another chival
rous Celtic family, when England re-
solved to dethrone him. and, on this
kings fall, it left ireland for the con.
tinent of Europe Eventually Count
O'Rourke brought his family to Rus.
sia. The grandfather Of the Bishop
became a general in the Russian
army. Monsignor O'Rourke was made
Bishop in 1918
Though Bishop O'Rourke never saw
Ireland, he bears in his heart the deep
est love for Erin, and one of the first
things he did on reaching Rome was
to seek out some of the Irish houses
for the sake of the Old Country"
For all intents and purposes he is a
Russian, after all the centuries that
have passed since the O'Rourkes left
Erin's shores.
On December the Holy Father re-
ceived in private audience the Bishop
of Riga with his secretary, Canon
Rantzan.

FRANCE APPROVES
REMOVAL OF SOLDIERS BODIES
BURIED IN REAR AREAS,

Removal and shipment home of
bodies of American soldiers buried in
those parts of France not in the old
zone of the armies,' which included
all the battlefelds and advance areas
has been approved by the French
Minister Of the Interior. Pending the
grouping and identification of French
dead, the French government was un-
willing to approve removal by the
Americans except in the rear areas.
General Connor, commanding Unit
ed States troops in France, expressed
the belief, however, that the French
government soon would modify it's
order, which prohibits removal from
the army zone for three years.
Bodies not to be returned to the
United States under the present pol
icy will be transferred from various
small cemeteries in parts of France
not in the zone of the armies and
reinterred in the cemetery at Sures-
nes, on the outskirts of Paris, the
Graves Registered Service announced.

Belgium has an area less than one
fourth as great as Mississippi, and
vet it has four times the population of
that state. Twenty-Five and half
countries like Belgium would be re-
uuired to make state like Texas.
And if Texas were as densely popu-
lated as Belgium, it would have as
many people as the United States and
Germany together, writes Father Guile
mans of Moline, Ill.
If the entire United States had as
many people to the square mile as
Belgium, that is, continental United
States. exclusive of Alaska, we would
have more people than there are in
the entire world today!
The area of Belgium is only IL ,373
square miles, while its population be-
fore the war was $4,000. There are
over three million Flemings who can
. not talk with their compatriot Wal
looms. and about as many WaIloons
who cannot hold converse with thell
countrymen Flemings. In their habits
of mind and their methods of gaining
a livelihood the two portions OF the
population differ as widely as the Eng
lish and the. French, and in, then
speech they ave as different as ths
Germans and the Scandinavfans. Yet
there is a tie that has bound them to
gether for generations, with never
fratricidal war in their modern his
tory. That tie is the bond of religion

SOCIETY OF JESUS
LOSS OF MANY MEMBERS IN WAR
MADE UP BY INCREASE OF
NOVICES.

One of the Jesuit Fathers at st.
Louis University has gathered accu.
rate information on the present status
of the Society of Jesus all the world
over
The total membership of the Order
on November II, 1918, was seventeen
thousand, priests making up one-half
this number. Belgium, with one thou
sand priests and schoolmasters and
two hundred lay Brothers, is in the
lead. Many of these men are labor.
ing on the Belgian missions in the
Congo in Africa, in Ceylon, in Bengal
India.
The ranks of the clergy in France
have been sadly depleted, because
priests were forced to serve as com
mon soldiers, and were among the
first to give up their lives. Many
young Jesuit Fathers, talented
trained men, were thus lost to the
society. The French missions in
Syria and Armenia have been nearly
destroyed by the Turks; but at Nan.
kin, China, where two hundred Jesuits
are at work, things are in fiourishing
condition.
TO compensate for the loss of men
in Central Europe, the society has re
ceived a splendid increase of novices
in the United States, Spain, South
America and Canada

LEAGUE Of NATIONS
INTERESTING DETAILS OF DIS.
cUSSIoN OVER HOLY SEES AD-
MlSSiON-MOTloN PASSED TO
ADVOCATE ENTRANCE OF HOLY
FATHER.

The question of the admission of
the Holy See into the Society of Ma
tions has been raised at the confer
ence of the associations for the
League of Nations, held at Brussels,
in which fifteen countries were rep
resented. The first commission of
the conference was to pronounce on
the admission OF states into the So
ciety of Nations as mentioned several
weeks ago.
At the end of the sitting, one of
the Swiss delegates, Mons. Silvernagel,
a Protestant, President of the Civil
Tribunal of Basle, made the following
declaration: In Switzerland we have
doubts of the working of the Society
of Nations, because the United States
hesitates to enter it, and the Holy
See has no part in it. If the Holy See
remains excluded, many Swiss will
not hesitate on the day of the popular
vote for or against joining the league
to pronounce against the Helvetic
Republics adhesion to the Society of
Nations
Mons. Doumer. formerly President
of the Society of Deputies of Paris,
then said: The Holy See is not a
nation: therefore, it cannot take part
in the Society of Nations
Mgr. Deploige, President of the In
stitute of Philosophy of the Institute
of Louyain,. then said: 1T is not adj
missibfe to reduce the problem to a
quarrel of words. If you wish to give
the Society of Nations a chance of
success, you should not deprive it of
the effective aid of the first moral
power in the world. 1t is unfortunate
that the question cannot, from want
of time, be discussed today, and it
must be referred to the approaching
congress at which it should certainly
be brought up
The following motion was then re-
ferred to the bureau for discussion
at the approaching. assembly Of the
federation of associations for the
League of Nations:
1T is to be hoped that the Holy
See will form part of the Society of
Nations"

FULL REPORT ON CATHOLIC
ACTIVITIES,

The executive committee of the Ma.

with a skeleton organization. it will
supervise the expenditure of appro-
prtations allotted, and carry on the
widely diversified work it has under,
taken not only in the United States
but in the war-stricken countries of
Europe.
One of the final phases of the work
of the National Catholic War Council
will be the compilation of complete
and accurate records of American
Catholic activity during the great
war. This work is being done under
the direction of a committee on his
torical Iecords; and the scope of it is
lndic"ted in the following excerpt
from IN official report of the council:
Excerpt from Official Report.
All historical material touching
thereon and the names of all Ameri-

war. At present, the tentative plan
for this history is as follows:

they all are staunch Catholics, in

tongues are Flemish and French. and
only ten per cent of the people can

portant part of the N. G. w. C. work
is the social service for girls. The
lack of school buildings has forced
the education board to limit the at

BISHOP. FAVORs LABOR
TAKES SIDE OF WORKERS IN
PLEA FOR BETTER WAGES
REFERS TO MINERS.

Right Rev. J. Henry Then, D. D.,
Bishop of Denver, speaking in the
Cathedral on Sunday two weeks ago,
took the part of the laboring classes
in the great conflict now waging be-
teen capital and workers. He urged
his auditors to think for themselves
and not to be led too much by the
unfair daily press. Labor, he showed
has a just grievance and in the past
has had few friends.
Speaking of the widespread asi
tation to deport aliens, the Bishop
charged that the. work of American
ization was deliberately withheld in
many cases. The immigrants were
brought here to furnish cheap labor
and American ideas were withheld
from them by employers so that they
would not demand more wages, and
would be satisfied with their novels
These employers, having sown the
wind, are now reaping the whirlwind
The Bishops references were par
ticularly to the miners.

ALL AGES IN CITY.

Among the war relief work in Ver-
dun the National Catholic War Coun-
Gil plays an important part, one that
appeals strongly to the sympathies
and gratitude of the people. The N.
C. w. C. house in Verdun, La Maison
Sainte Delphine, occupies itself chief
ly with the women and children of
the town. To find house in Verdun
that was capable of being repaired
and made habitable even in a reason
able length Of time was no easy task,
but after days of search a house was
found that would meet the necessary
requirements.
By dint of patience and persever7
ance the work of reconstructing the
house was finished. Stoves are up
and the warm, home-like rooms are a
welcome haven against the cold and
snow of the winter months. But the
most highly priced furnishings of the
house are the sewing machines. The
sewing rooms are open to all the
women of the town from 9 A. M. to
P. M. Not only is the use of the ma.

need, warm materials for dresses and

is no one to do the necessary sewing
