Fallen Soldiers and Sailors-cere-
monies Will Draw Catholics From
All Parts Of the World.

At the recent meeting in Wash.
ington of the Trustees of the Catho.
lie University it was voted to begin
work Immediately upon the construc-
ton of the National Memorial Shrine

cent church will stand. 1t is intended
to be perpetual monument to Amer
ica's fallen soldiers and sailors and
national expression of Catholic devo-
tion to the Blessed Virgin. Gifts of
money and other treasures are pouring
In from every state in the Union and
from all parts of the world. They
range from $4,000 down to few pen
MES, from costly diamonds to chill
dren's rings. Hundreds of thousands
of individuals have contributed. The
national shrine will be Romanesque
church, 420 feet long, with a main
nave fifty-four feet wide and eighty
five feet in height. The lateral naves
will be flanked by chapels, five on
each side, while around the apse
and the transepts will be a number of
smaller chapels. There will be two
transepts, the main one 1874 feet wide.
The facade will be 1874 feet wide. A
noble dome will surmount the edifice,
the cross on its top being 254 feet
from the ground. A splendid cam
panillo or bell-tower, $50 feet in height,
will rise at one end, to be compare.

LAv.owNeo CATHOLIC PAPERS.

The rather interesting and some

itself: What is a Catholic paper? Can
that paper, and that paper only, be
called Catholic" which is published
under the immediate supervision Of
the bishop, explicitly approving the
contents Of each and every issue?
Catholics are men, and as such In.

when relating to harmless topics of
recreation, commerce, industry and
the like, are no concern of the authori.

that the latter need positively approve
Of all that is written or reported.
This, at least, has been the constant
policy of the church in countries
which are blessed with strong Cath.

general rule, these papers have been
started by laymen, financed by them
edited by them and made successful.

had every reason to give these laymen

INTERESTING POINT ON REcoc.
NITloN OF IRELAND.

1t has been objected by many per.
sons, who otherwise are very sympa.
thetic with the idea Of America hav-
ing diplomatic relations with the Irish
Republic, that for the United States
to initiate said service with the Re-
public Of Ireland would be tantamount
to an act Of war upon Great Britain,
and possible source of war between
tie two countries.
For their consideration the state.
ment is presented which was made by
Mr.. Cushman Davis, former chairman
of the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions (about 1899, which appears in
his Treatise on International Law"
published by Keefe Davidson Law
Book Company, st. Paul, MIMI, 1901:
1T may be well to correct here a
misapprehension which has obtained
considerable vogue. It has commonly
been thought that If any government
recognized the belligerency or the In
dependence of an insurrectionary peo.
pie, such action is just cause of war
by the parent State. Such is not the
law. The recognition of belligerency
or of independence affords no Just
cause for war against the recognizing
power by the government against
which the recognition has been made.

THE FEW.

THE FEW.
The easy roads are crowded,
And the level roads are jammed:
The pleasant little rivers
With the drifting folks are crammed.
But off yonder where it's rocky,
Where you get better view,
You will find the ranks are thinning
And the travellers are few.
Where the going's smooth and pleasant
You will always find the throng,
For the many, more's the pity,
Seem to like to drift along.
But the sleeps that call for courage,
And the task that's hard to do
In the end result In glory
For the never wavering few
