WAR MEMORIALS
ROSARiES OF DEAD SOLDIERS TO
BE KEPT At LOURDES-OTHER
MEMORIALS.

1t is now agreed that the inside ora
tory of the interallied memorial to be
erected at Lourdes, in front of the Ba-
silica, will be the depository of all the
souvenirs-rosaries, medals, crosses,
etc.-sent there by the families of the
allied soldiers who died during the
war, that these articles may be piously
preserved close to the Miraculous Vir-
gin. Mass will be offered there for
all time for the dead of the war, and
pilgrims will find there place to pray
for them.
All the great monuments either in
course of construction or contemplat.
ed for British battlefields are to be
of a religious character There is
to be chapel at Dormans, another in
the vicinity of the Douaumont ossuary,
a large cross on the summit of Hart
manswiller-Kopf, where it will tower
above the Alsatian plain, and a chapel
at the "Col du Linge."
Monsignor Julien, Bishop OF Arras
on September IL, will bless the first
stone of the large edifice which is
designed to replace the chapel of
Notre Dame de Lorette, near Lens
The original chapel was destroyed in
1915 during battles in which 100000
men were killed.

FAITH AND SCIENCE.

One of the practical results Of
sending young people to non
Catholic institutions of higher
learning is to allow them to i'm
bibe false principles and views of
life. Human science is presented
before them entirely divorced
from it's necessary relations to the
Author of all knowledge and
science. They are led through the
mazes of human relations and told
that the material world spans all
things movable. The idea of a
creative Power, Of God, is gent
ly but firmly removed from their
minds through the force Of ridi.
Guile and an appeal to their intel
lect. Like Eve, they stand before
the tree of knowledge and believe
that one bite of it's fruit will open
their eyes to all possible science.
1t seems incredible that men oil
learning, professors, will really
limit their mental horizon to such
an extent as to shut out all view
Of the very font and source Of
knowledge. They study the Sc

TO ADMIT WOMEN
IOUVAIN UNIVERSITY TO HAVE
WOMEN STUDENTS IN FULL
COURSE.
(By N. c.. w. c.. News Service.)

(By N. c. w. c. News Serv1ce)
The University of Louvain, In the
near future, is to permit women to
follow the full course of studies. This
is a most notable reform, as up to the
present women have not been admit
ted to the university.
A number of religious teachers are
expected to take advantage of the op'
portunity soon to be open to them to
achieve the higher education.
1t is expected also that new congre-
cations will open more boarding
schools affiliated with the university
in order to enable Catholic young Ia
dies to receive the benefit of the uni
versity teaching without being ex-
posed to the usual dangers consequent
on the somewhat independent life OF
university towns.
The reform soon to be accomplished
in Louvain appeared more than ever
necessary since women in Belgium
have been admitted to the bar and
given free access to all intellectual
professions heretofore reserved fol-
men. Belgian women also in the near
future will take part in politics. 1t has
become most obvious, therefore, that
Catholic young women were entitled
to the same opportunities as men fol-
their training. This claim is now sat
isfied.

THE BISHOPS DELEGATE
FATHER DEITMER NAMED DR..
kLEINElDAM'S SUCCESS
SOR IN BERLIN.
(By N. G.. w. G.. News Service.)

(By N. G. w. c. News Service.)
Very Rev. Father Deitmer has been
nominated by the Prince Bishop of
Breslau as Bishops Delegate and
Archdeacon of St. Hedwig's Church in
Berlin, to succeed Very Rev. DR..
kleineidam, who has retired because
of ill health Father Deitmer has been
Archdeacon of Holy Rosary Church
in Steglitz.
The new delegate and Archdeacon
of st. Hedwig's was born in Munster,
Germany. In the early years of his
priesthood he was assistant at St.
Matthew's Church, Berlin. AS such he
worked arduously for the establish
ment of new parish at Steglitz, and
when one was created he was it's first
pastor. He is therefore considered as
having rich experience in pastoral la
bors in the metropolis, and we'll fitted
for his new duties.
Dr. Kleineidam, who is to rest after
many years of difficult and trying
duties, was in the early years of his
sacerdotal life priest in Ireland. He
remembers with affectionate regard
the Irish Catholics among whom he Ia.
bored.

calculations. But, more recently, at
least, it has tolerated religion. The
use of the churches has been permit
ted, but the congregations have borne
the expense of maintaining them.
In many instances the priests of the
orthodox church were looked upon
with suspicion probably from political
rather than anti-religious motives.
They were regarded in some measure
as officials of the state. They kept the
vital statistics and exercised other
more or less official functions. 1t is
reported that in some places where the
paralyzing effect of the revolution is
passing, and fear of Bolshevist prose-
cution is being allayed, the Russian
people are manifesting religious
awakening which may be the begin
ming of movement which will event
ually play an important part in Rus
sias destiny.
The Pope has donated a sum of
100000 lire to assist the victims of
these survivors. Father Mure, the Su-
perior of the Marash Mission, has lost
his reason on account of the horrors
he was forced to witness during the
massacres.

CONVERSION OF JEWS
ORGANIZATION FOUNDED IN ENG
LAND DOING EFFECTIVE WORK
CONVERSIONS ARE NUMER-
Gus.

The Catholic Guild of Israel, which
was founded in England for promot-
ing the conversion of the Jews to
Catholicism, announces that an extra.
ordinary interest in the work of the
Guild has been aroused among the
Jews in the past months.
During June of this year a novena
of Masses was offered in England by
more than sixty-nine priests for the
objects of the Guild, among those
who offered Mass being the Cardinal
Archbishop of Westminster. In
France several hundreds of Masses
were offered with the like intention.
During the present year new
branches of the Guild have been
founded, and it is stated that at the
present time there are twenty Jew
ish young men who have been admit
ted as associates of the Guild, who
will later make their studies for the
priesthood.
A branch has been founded at Sas
katoon in Canada, and request has
been sent for the pamphlet contain
ing the prayers of the Guild to be
published in Yiddish.

BIGOTRY SET BACK IN PRIMARY
HELD IN CHIGAN-AUTHOR
OF BILLTO PRESCRIBE PRIVATE
SCHOOLS BADLY BEATEN.

(By N. C. w. G.. News Service.)
Overwhelming reputation and de-
feat at the hands of the voters of
Michigan, on August 81, in Statewide
primaries was the outcome of the at
tempt of James Hamilton, author of a
proposal to prescribe private schools,
to get the Republican nomination for
the governorship. Out of a possible
total of 100000 votes in Detroit, his
own city, Hamilton received less than
1000, and finished seventh in the race,
in which nine candidates were en-
was about 10000.
Groesbeck Won Nomination.
The gubernatorial nomination was
won by Attorney General Alex J.
Groesbeck, who in July held in an Off.
cial opinion that the proposed consti-
tutional amendment requiring all
children between the ages of and 16
years to attend the public schools was
in conflict with the Federal Constitu.
ton and therefore invalid. Hamilton

crets Of Nature, and ignore the
Author Of Nature, thus falling in
to the most illogical pass; for even
their own philosophy teaches
them to study the real cause of
things through an understanding
of effects. Looking into these ef-
fects, they rise to the nearest ma
terial cause and then pause, as it
afraid to look up to the First
Cause and thereby gain an insight
into the whole scheme of creation
and the universe.
Not infrequently do we meet a
young person whose mind has
been poisoned and whose faith
has been shattered beyond repair
simply through a one-sided devel-
opment Of the soul: study of ma
terial things without an apprecia-
ton Of their origin. Science and
faith live in beautiful harmony
defective science cannot see the
wonders of faith, the light is too
strong, and science denies that
those wonders exist at all. It is
the argument Of the blind man
who refuses to believe in the
light.
True science is not content with
a partial unfolding Of the secrets
and truths of Nature: it desires
to rise and rise until the very
First Cause has been uncovered,
until the very last Why has been
successfully and triumphantly an
swered. The shallow-pated wise
acre, the mental parvenu, the
scientific" upstart, the material
istic professor" is so saturated
with the pride of intellect that he
refuses to admit a higher Cause
lest his myopic vision be imputed
unto him as blindness. He fears
that the discovery might cause his
heart to lead captive his much
Wanted intellect, and he prides
himself on the utterly detached
nature of that faculty: detached
even from his God.
It is an axiom Of the ages that
true knowledge leads directly tc
God. Wherefore so many men to.
day know not God because they
follow the track of material eff
fects alone and refuse to look
aloft, lest perchance they might
perceive the God of Nature re-
splendent above the horizon.

his prejudices, and not rarely
seeks more knowledge with view
to conversion; his respect for his
Catholic neighbor grows apace,
and the general effect all around
is one of good feeling and better
understanding.
On the other hand, many Catho-
lies are utterly unable to answer
the slightest reflection on their
faith. Careless in it's practice,
they are Indifferent to it's reasons
and it's principles. Arguments
against that faith find them ready
to yield to the enemy and per-
haps to adopt his views. The re-
suit is the liberal Catholic; one
whose ignorance is equalled only
by his unabashed audacity in
making light Of the most sacred
truths.
Would that our Catholic people
might read more on the subject
OF their religion, it's place in the
world, in society, in regard to the
problems that confront mankind.
The Catholic faith has correct
answer for every question that
may arise in the human mind with
regard to the things that really
count. The alert Catholic will
increase both his own prestige and
the respect for his faith by max
ing a study of his religion in rela-
ton to life and it's meanings.

THE ALERT LAYMAN.

Although the average American
may not be a regular church goer,
he likes to dabble in matters Of re-
igion. On the principle that the
less some persons know of a thing
the more they pirate about it, your
typical citizen constitutes himself
judge and witness in the case of
religion versus common sense.
With cheap inventiveness he
brings forth plausible arguments
to show that he is just as good as
the man who goes to church: in
fact, he is better; he is more broad
in his views than the man who
takes spiritual nourishment from
the hand Of Roman authority; he
cannot see what harm there is in
a Catholics giving in his name for
membership in so-called forbid
den societies; and so forth and
so on.
Propositions like the above are
put forth daily i'll many forms by
well-meaning persons who, never
theless, would be fair enough to

MISSION Discovered

The ruins of the old st. Mary's mis-
sion, the birthplace of Catholicity in
Kansas, were rediscovered in the thick
of a wood near Centerville recently by
a party of three priests and a guide,
including Father Kinsella of Paola,
who is writing history of the Faith
in the eastern part of the state. The
discovery was the result of request
from Father G. J. Garraghan, S. j., OF
St. Louis University, who was inter-
ested in locating the origin of the Jes-
uit college now at st. Mary's, Kan,
and also of the desire of Father Kin
sella to place a marker on the spot

Certain Catholic papers might
well restrain their frequent sneers
at what they, in their fancied SUI
periority, are wont to term Of
fetal organs. One is inclined to
wonder whether, first, such editors
are Catholics, and second, whether
they realize that by such cheap
innuendoes they are aligning
themselves with the Liberal
Catholics so bitterly condemned
by recent Popes and Bishops.
They would do we'll to read the
scathing indictment of such tao
tics enunciated by the united hier-
archy of England about twenty
years ago. The cap fits. A little
more judgment, brethren. We
have enemies enough outside the
fold.

to put the proposition on the ballot
at the November elections. At the
same time they began an active cam
paign in behalf of Hamilton's candi-
dacy. AS part of their methods they
attempted to arouse religious preju-
dice throughout the State.
With only few precincts missing
from the official count Attorney Gener-
al Groesbeck's defeat of Milo D. Camp
bell, his nearest competitor, by more
than 1900 votes, was conceded. The
total vote cast for Groesbeck in 2,453
of the 2,947 precincts was 78,77S.
Campbell received 61,242 votes,
Charles E. Mott. third in the race,
49,173, and Hamilton, seventh, $4,000.
Protestants Also Opposed Measure.
In the last several months Prot
estants as we'll as Catholics have de-
nounced the scheme of Hamilton and
his followers as unfair, un-American
and unconstitutional" Prominent
ministers of various Protestant
churches, leading educators and we'll
known lawyers were among the most
vigorous opponents of the proposed
amendment.
Attorney General Groesbeck, in his
opinion to the Secretary of State of
Michigan, pointed out that the bust
ness of conducting private schools was
lawful and in no wise inimical to the
interests of the State.
quite the contrary is the case, and
while the State has the undoubted
right to regulate these private in
stitutions of learning it can
not go so far as absolutely to pro-
hibit or destroy them or prevent those
so desiring from attending them," said
the Attorney General.

NOW IN ENGLAND
ATHEISTS STRIKE AT MODESTY-
CATHOLICS PROTEST AGAINST
TEACHING OF SEX HYGIENE.

A st 'ong attack on some of the
schemes which are said to be contem-
plated by the English ministry of
health was delivered by Cardinal
Bourne at the meeting of the National
Catholic congress held in Liverpool.
The Cardinal began his address by
reading a letter from Hilaire Belloc, in
which the latter said, "they could not
admit interference with the liberty of
marriage in adult men and women, nor
any element at all of the horror known
as eugenics. They could not admit
what is called sex teaching, or any
one of the whole series of PROPOSE
tions regarding sexual hygiene, neither
could they admit the claim of the state
over the children as against the claim
of the parents"
Cardinal Bourne appealed to Catho-
lies to distinguish between the attack
made by many people on moral law
and the infringement of individual lib
erty. In dealing with those who at
tack the moral law, they must bring
home to them the fact that the Chris
tan law still has a place of honor IN
the country, and that by infringing this
law the consciences of vast mass OF
the people are outraged.
AS to those who would encroach on
the liberty of the individual, the Car
dinal said there is a good way to re-
e;c+ thoco which cou1d opDOSe any in.
reference with the liberty of the In
dividual. The most dangerous OF these
encroachers, Cardinal Bourne said, are
those who no longer profess to accept
the Christian law as rule of con
duct.
