FATHER DOHERTY
AMERICAN CATHOLIC CHAPLAIN
HoNoRED BY THE FRENCH
.-~ is NOW IN CHINA.
,(By N. G. w. c.. News Service.)

,(By N. c. W.. C. News Service.)
Rev. Francis Brooks Doherty, Chap
lain and Major Of the Fifteenth U. S.
Infantry, now in Tientsin, China, has
received from the French Government
the Medal of Honor in recognition of
his services with the American Elk
peditionary Force in France during
the war. He was the senior American
chaplain attached to Gen. Pershing's
staff.
The French decoration was trans
mitted to Father Doherty through the
War Department in Washington, and
the ceremony of decoration took place
in China. Col. w. M. Morrow, COM
mander of the detachment of the Fiji
teenth Infantry at Tientsin, pinned the
medal on Father Doherty in presence
of the officers and men of the unit.
Father Doherty in point of service
is n of the oldest chaplains in the
American Army. He began his career
more than twenty years ago when
with the Aston Battery of the New
York National Guard in General Wes-
ley Merritt's expedition to the Philip
pines during the insurrection that fol-
lowed American occupation of the ISL
ands. He was with different regiments
of troops during the fighting and saw
a good deal of action. In the negotia-
tons between General Merritt and
Emilio Aguinaldo, leader of the Fill
pinos, looking TO the %latter's surren-
der, Father Doherty was the American
commanders representative.
On the entrance of the United
States into the European war, Father
Doherty went to France with the first
American contingent. He vas asso-
ciated with Bishop Brent (~Episcopal)
of New York and Paul Dwight Moody
in directing the work of chaplains in
the EXpeditionary Force. Subsequent
ly he was commissioned by General
Pershing to return to this country and
organize the corps of chaplains then
in process of formation on this side.
He rejoined the American forces in
France after having satisfactorily com
pleted his task here.
Father Doherty was born in South
Boston about SO years ago.

Usurv and Modern Profiteers

necessary at all, it is u~nscientific and
unwise. A moderate rate of interest
capital ought to be the thing
merely sufficient interest to induce in
vestment, giving extra pay to the man
who can show extra efficiency by his
work not merely because he is the
owner of capital which is made excep-
tionally profitable by somebody else.
One reason why the Plumb Plan is so
bitterly assailed by some capitalists is
because it embodies this principle,
that capital should get only a moder-
ate return, because the government
would own the capital, and give the
bondholders a fixed return. The gains
of efficiency would all go to the work
ers. After all, the ethical claim to
any interest on capital rests upon not
nearly as firm a basis as the right to
compensation for labor"
At the present time the rewards of
efficiency go to the stockholders,
though, as such, they furnish only the
capital. They may be anonymous,
They may never have e the indus
trial plant in which they have invest
ed. They may know nothing OF the
business. But the rewards of the
progress of industry go in very great
part to them. This fact is habitual tC
present-day business and is n of the
chief sources of ~profiteering or usury

ALSAT|AN SAINT
TWELFTH CENTENARY OF SAINT
ODlLE is CELEBRATED.

(By Nc. w. C. News. Seryice>) go.
The twelfth centenary of the birth
of st. Odile, p~rOtectress of Alsace, was
celebrated with full splendor at the
grave of the saint on st. Odile's Hill,
which commands a full view of the
Alsatian Plains. This is the very spot
where, in the seventh century, rose
the convent where she ended her days.
The Emperor Charlemange, in 773,
and Pope Leo TX, in 1045, had gone to
pray at the saints grave.
The celebration of the twelfth cen
tenary lasted a whole week. One of
the presiding prelates was Mgr.
Streicher, who christened several OF
the Uganda martyrs. Mgr. Streicher
was born at the foot of st. Odile's
Hill.
Thousands of people from all over
Alsace and from the remOtest regions
of France scaled the hill and, attend,
ed by the military bands from the
| surrounding Alsatian villages, partici
| pated in the immense procession es
| corting the saints relics. These were
| carried in triumph through the for
est.
Every night the illumination of the
| chapel and of the mOnastery-Whicf
tower above the plain from a heigh'
| of 1900 feet-was seen from the dis
tant hills of Lorraine and of the BLACK
Forest. ..

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
ITALIAN WOMEN'S VOTE TO AID
CATHOLIC PARTY.

Woman suffrage, which seems GER
tain to triumph at the next elections
in Italy, is expected to increase the
strength of the Popular (Catholic)
party in all parts of the country, &C
cording to Father Giovanni >Semeria,
former chaplain of the Italian army,
who is making a tour of the United
States in an effort to find support for
his plan of providing homes for 2OO,-
900 children left orphans by the war
The Italian Socialists have for a long
time included woman suffrage in their
program, and theoretically have beer
it's constant champions, but in practice
have made no attempt to enfranchise
italian women, Father Semeria says
Few women will adhere to any party
which attacks religion.

CATHOLIC ACTIVITY IN AUSTRIA

life; for the organization of unions,
the press, the works of charity and
the safeguarding of the Faith. A
great public assembly marks the close
of such a congress after perhaps a
two days session. Seven of these as
semblies have been held in Vienna,
and four in it's environs, within the
last six months.
These meetings attract thousands
and are signalized by the greatest en-
thusiasm. Storms of reclamation
usually greet the appearance of His
Eminence, Cardinal Archbishop Piff,
and lusty are the cheers when, as a
speaker,-and he is a master of elo-
quence-he addresses these gather
ings and heartens them to continue
faithful to the Church in these days
of trial.
There is nothing more touching on
such occasions than the festive spirit
in which t~housands-of all callings,
hundreds of youths, students with
their badges, and officers in uniform
among the rest-thrOng the churches
to receive Holy Communion in a body.
A joyous sense of cOnfessing their
faith animates the Catholic masses,
especially the young men and the
women. The increase Of the Catholic
organizations is another cause for re
joicing. In Upper Austria, in a single
year, $4,000 Catholic women have
united in the Catholic Women's League
for public and social action.
Catholic Societies.
300 tiourishing congregations of Chill
dren of Mary for all classes; unions
for young men have been founded in
all the districts of the city. Especial
ly at the universities the growth of
Catholic unions is to be recorded with
great satisfaction. Among all the
academic leagues, hat of the CathO-
lies is strongest. More than 500
young Catholic students accompanied,
on Corpus Christi, the Blessed Sacra-
ment during the festival procession.
A fresh breath, as on a clear morning,
goes through Austria.
Credit Given to Women.
This reSurgence was made possible
by the devotion and self-sacrifice of
the clergy-alWays equal to their task
and to the beneficial effects of gen
eral suffrage which has proved
it's efficacy in Austria at a time when
the Catholic family and the education
of children have been made the object
of a violent attack. The courage and
perseverance of the Austrian women
put the men to blush.
If Catholic Austria today has grown
so strong that she need: fear no storm
and can resist the assaults of her ad-
versaries, this is due in no small de-
gree to the Catholic women who in
this wave of revolution have cOmpre-
hended and performed their vital task.
Austria is now on the V of new
! elections for the National Assembly.
1t may be expected that in the public
life of the state also the renaissance
of Austrian CathOlicity may make its
appearance. w s..

Brief Reviews and Notices !,

l''Autre Vie. By Mgr. Ellie Meric, in
2 volumes. Published by Pierre
Tequi, Paris. Price, 10 francs each.
Mgr. Merle; Professor at the Sor-
bonnie in Paris, has written an ex-:
haustive study O n the future life. He
opens his treatise with a disquisition
on the Immortality of the human soul.
In order to clear the ground for the
structure which he rears the learned
author first destroys the intellectual
rubbish which has been gathered for
ages. He then examines into the doe
trine of immortality from the stand
point of universal religion, refuting
the many errors that have been built
up around this tenet of sane philosO-
ply. At the same time he investigates
such problems as the transmission of
the soul, and the possibility of in
habitants On other. planets than ours.
Spiritualism and other theories are
completely demolished.
The second volume considers the
teaching of our faith concerning a
future life. In this part of the work
the author explains Catholic teaching
as regards the temperance of souls,
the resurrection of the body, the end
of the world, and the day of judgment.
Some of the scholastic questions as,
for example, the number of the elect,
are also treated from the standpoint
of faith and reason. This work may
be considered a valuable addition to
the library of every priest.
lie Renouveau cathoIique. By Rev.
Louis Rouzic. Published by Pierre
Tequi, Paris. Price 70 cents.
This new work from the versatile
pen of Father Rouzic is an addition to
the voluminous literature occasioned
by the war. The author gives a pleas
ing review of French youth from the
standpoint of the late great struggle.
With intimate touch he shows the
preparations made by the youth of
France for the struggle: their de-
parture, their conduct, thoughts an Il
suffering during the war. He then.
paints a glowing picture of the relig-
ious effect upon the soldiers and the
part they are to play in the period of
reconstruction. The work is we'll
written and makes pleasant ami
thoughtful reading.

THE P0PE'S GUARD
PAPAL GUARDS MAY BE SUMMON.
ED FOR JURY SERVICE.
(By N. G. w. G. News Service.)

(By N. G. w. G. News Service.)
An interesting point of law has re-
Gently been before the Italian courts.
There was IN record an old decision
exempting the armed forces of the
Vatican from the duty of serving on
%juries. In 1904 it was laid down that
the members of the Noble Guard
should be regarded as an armed force
on active service and Count Carpegna
was exempted from being called to
serve on a jury.
The rule, which applies, of course,
only to Italians, stood until recently,
but a higher court has just reversed
it. The decision is based on the third
clause in the law of Guarantees, a
paragraph in which says that the Su-
preme Pontiff can retain the custom
airy number of persons necessary for
himself and for the custody of the
Sacred Palaces, but without prejudice
to the duties and obligations of those
persons according to the existing laws
of the Realm.

METHODS OF MODERN SHYLOCkS
ARE JUST PLAIN USURY-DR.
RYAN'S NEW BOOK RECON-
MENDS FIXED PERCENTAGE
FOR CAPITALS GAINS.

Arthur Brisbane, editorial writer
for the Hearst papers, has written re-
Gently an article condemning modern
usury, using as his text Martin Luth-
er's statement: Il call those usurerS
who lend money at 5 or e per cent.
He might more aptly quote the ar
raignment of the new type OF usufy
in the %encyclical on the CONDITION OF
Labor where Pope Leo refers to that
~"rapaciOus usury which,
more than once condemned by the
Church, is, nevertheless, under a dill
ferent guise, but with the like inJus-
tice. still practiced by cOvetous and
| ~grasping men" Pope Leo includes
modern usury as one of the Chief
methods used by the small number
| of very rich men, to lay upon the
| teeming masses of the laboring poor
a woke little better than slavery 1t
self" The usury of which he speaks
goes now by the name of p~rofteerlng.
Modern Usury.
Usury has been common Tor years
but recent revelations have shown that
it has peer practiced during the last
five wears in an outrageous fashion.
Mr.. Lauck's startling disclosures of
~profiteering, made public in connec-
ton with railroad labor's demand for
higher wages, were based upon figures
attested to by a multitude OF corpora
tions and published in recognized
financial manuals. They have gone
unchallenged and stand as a terrible
indictment of the usury or %profiteer
ing of American business men during
the last four or five years.

coming book Social Reconstruction,
recommends that capital be restricted
to a certain fixed percentage, and tina
the gains due to efficiency go to thos'
who have caused the efficiency. HI
