HIS DIOCESE COMPRISES WHOLE
STATE OF PARAGUAY.

Mgr. Juan Sinforiano Bogarin cele-
brated his silver jubilee as Bishop of
Asuncion, Paraguay, recently. He is
popular among the clergy and people
of his vast diocese. 1t was not an
easy load which Pope Leo XIII put
on the young shoulders of the 31-year-
old chancellor, Juan S. Bogarin, when
in 1894 he made him Bishop of the
Diocese of Asuncion, comprising the
whole State of Paraguay. The un-
fortunate Paraguayan war of 1870 had
practically annihilated the young man.

country was bankrupt. Even today
one Argentine dollar is still worth 20
Paraguayan pesos.
Outside of the Lazarist Fathers, who
were in charge of the diocesan semi

dozen priests in the whole diocese

A correspondent of the Catholic

ion is that the majority of the organs

countries are missing the true per-

is not, he said, the Right or the Left !;
the proper focus is the Center.
"It is extraordinary" he said, "how
most of the foreign correspondents in
Germany entirely overlook the enor-
mously important part the Center is
now playing in the moulding of the
future of Germany. If Germany is
to be saved from collapse, it is not
the extreme Socialists of the Left, or
the extreme monarchists of the Right
who will do it. The only party at all
capable of doing this is the Catholic

IRISH AND SCOTCH

In the year SIS Aidan was solemnly
inaugurated king of Dalraida and at
once set himself to the task of MAX
ing his kingdom Independent. In that
endeavor he was ably seconded by the
Irish saint, Columbia, who was born
in Donegal and who spread the Chris
tian faith in North Britain, thereby
becoming the apostle of Scotland
But the two countries did not go to
war over the issue. Instead, a con-
vention was called together by Aedh,
son of Ainmire, King of Ireland, which
met at Druimceat, near Derry, in the
year SIS, to settle the question Of the
/ relations which should subsiSt be-
tween the two countries. Columbia
pleaded the cause of the colonists
He pointed out that it was friendship
and affection and love which should
continue between the Gaels of Scot
land and the Gaels of Ireland and not
hatred or war. With the approval of
the convention, the matter was left to
the arbitration of Columbia, who re-
ferred it to his pupil Colman, son of
Congellan, who had made a particu-
lar study of the question.
The result was the famous Treaty
OF Druimceat, by which Ireland
granted recognition and independence
to her colony, as the only possible de-
cision in conformity with the Gaelic
system of government, which was the
very antithesis of feudalism and i'm
perialism. 1t was treaty of peace
and brotherhood, and it remained in
force for hundreds of years afterward
and in consequence of it on more than
one occasion the Scots of Alba came
to the aid of their cOuntrymen in Ire
land, as, for example, in 1914, when
they sent a strong force to assist
Brian Boru, contending against the
Danes at Clontarf, and when, on the
other hand the Irish gave aid to King
Robert the Bruce, at BannOckburn.
This bond of union would still be
in effect were it not for the Saxons,
who, in accordance with their princi-
pie of ''Divide ct impera,' came be-
tween the two branches of the Gael
to the inexpressible harm of both of

EXAMPLE OF EARLY TREATMENT
BY PEOPLE OF ERIN-WHEN
IRELAND APPLIED SELF-DETER.
MlNATION TO SCOTLAND,

The population of Scotland is made
up of Pictish, Irish, British, Saxon
Danish and Norman elements; the
first three Celtic, the last three Ger:
manic peoples. The Picts contributed
the bulk of the population, but they
were overcome by the Scott, SAYS
DR.. Joseph Dunn. 1t is these Scotti
as the Irish were then called, who
have given their name to Scotland and
who carried their settlements and
speech among the Picts, who were
more or less closely related to them
and who were absorbed by the Irish
because Irish civilization was superior
to that which obtained among the
Picts. The result of those emgra-
tions is that most of the people of
Scotland are of the flesh and blood of
the Gaels of Ireland
In the fourth century, about st. Pat
ricks time, Irish colonists from Dal
Riada Tin the North Antrim), of which
Belfast might be regarded as the cen
trail point, passed over to the neigh
boring shores of Scotland and, in the
course of the next two or three cen
turies established in what is now a
part of the present county of Argyle
the Scottish kingdom to which they
gave the name of their native district
Dal Riada. In like manner, the Eng
lish settlers in a part of North Amer.
ica called their colony New England
and in other respects also the two
cases were parallel. The relations be.
tween the two countries were close
and the colony was constantly being
reinforced by their countrymen from
Ireland. For about 175 years the col
Onists were under the rule of the Irish
monarch. But the men of Alba (Scot.
lanO maintained that their settle.
ments belonged to them, while the
men of Fire Qreland) claimed that
the cOlonistS were subject to the
mother-country and must bear the
same burdens.

DR.. K|NSMAN
FORMER EPISCOPAL BISHOP PUB.
LISHES APOLOGIA FOR HIS
CONVERSION.

Rev. DR.. Frederick J. Kinsman, for
merly Bishop of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church, Diocese of Delaware,
who was recently received into the
Church by His Eminence, Cardinal
Gibbons, has written an "apology" for
his course, which, in book form, is
soon to be issued by a leading New
York City publisher. The revelations
of his inner life, as a student, layman,
priest and bishop, are of kind to
leave the reader fully informed. 1t is
said the book bids fair to he one of
considerable Importance in that group
of autobiographies to which the Eng
lish, thus far, have been in most
cases the chief contributors of nara
tives that tell of transfer of belief in
matters of the spirit from Canterbury
to Rome.

FORMER SERVICE MEN.

There are at present 376 students
of theology in the seminary of st.
Sulpice in Paris, the greatest num-

Included in this number are sixty-eight
former army officers, who served as
engineers and doctors during the war
There are also many students of an
advanced age in the preparatory sem
mary, many of whom had obtained
profitable positions in the commercial
and industrial world, which they have
given up to prepare themselves fol

CATHOLICS PROTEST
OBJECT TO CHAPEL SERVICES IN
PUBLIC SCHOOL

At Brandon, VT, the issue between
Catholic parents of children attending
the Brandon high school and the
school board has been satisfactorily
settled. The Catholic children, who
were suspended because of failure to
attend the morning chapel exercises,
have returned to school. The school
board and Principal e. H. Walker de-
cided that collective protest against
their children attending the chapel
exercises, signed by the Catholic par
ents, will be accepted. The agree
ment will operate to excuse the Cath
olic children from attending the ex-
ercises, to which they object.

the place.
Guided by Christian Principles.
But there is this difference. The
strikers of the non Christian parties
are utterly selfish in their methods.
The Catholic working men who are on
strike have shown, time and time
again, that they are animated by
Christian principles, even during their
strikes.
For example, they have volun-
teered, when they have been on strike,
to see that the hospitals did not suf-
fer by reason of the strike. They
have seen that supplies of coal, ice,
milk, and other vital necessities, have
been forthcoming. They have realized
their duty towards their fellow men,
whilst my observation shows me that
the strikers of Red proclivities have
shown an utter lack of these humane
sentiments.

mean the Catholic body as whole in
Germany, has without fail shown it
There have been serious disturbances,
but the consequences would have been
calamitous had it not been for the
enormously restraining influence of
the Catholics. And of this, hardly a
word leaks out into the press outside
of Germany. Indeed, even at home,
there is sufficient interest to suppress
good deal of what the country owes
to the Catholics"
