CHURCH IN FRANCE
QUESTION OF RELATION BE-
TWEEN CHURCH IN FRANCE
WITH GOVERNMENT TO BE
TAKEN UP SEPARATELY.

The French Government has in
formed the Committee on Foreisn At
fairs of the Chamber of Deputies that
negOtia tons with the Vatican for the
establishment of diplomatic rela-
tons were ended and an agreement
reached. The committee decided to
meet to examine the statements that
government will submit on the subject
of the negotiations. According to
Deputy Cobrat, reporter of the COM
mittee, the agreement contemplates
no change in domestic legislation. It
concerns exclusively the diplomatic
question. La Croix, commenting on
this, says it appears that it has been
deemed wise not to entangle the dis
cussion of the resumption of relations
with the question of the legal status
of the French Church. This last ques-
ton will be considered hereafter; and
it is hoped that with good will it can
be easily adjusted
Information from trustworthy
source is that the negotiations are
beng conducted with cordially and
confidence.
Premier Millerand will attend the
ceremony in Metz next August, when
the Knights of Columbus present a
gold baton to General Foch.

TO HELP STUDENTS

When the next state convention OF
the knights of Columbus is held in La
Junta (192D, it is expected that def
mite movement towards establishing a
club for Catholic students at the Uni
versity of Colorado, in Boulder, will be
launched. A resolution to this effect,
adopted by Boulder K. of c., was ap-
proved at the state convention in Trim
idad recently, with the understand
ing that the movement is to come up
again next year.
The per capita tax on the councils
for the state council was raised from
so cents to Is cents. This will give a
fund to start work not only at Boulder
but at other public educational insti-
tutions of higher learning for the
Catholic students, and will also finance
a new movement to have the state
council give needed direction to subor-
dinate councils. In time it is expect
ed to have a salaried state secretary
giving his entire time to such work.
Several eastern states now have such
a man.

CATHOLICS AND DIVORCE
ENGLISH DIVORCE BILL IN
PRINCES CATHOLIC RIGHTS.

The Buckmaster bill for facilitating
divorce, which has been the subject
of strong protests from Catholics as
we'll as non-Catholics in England, is
not dead yet, though there is chance
that it may be killed during its pas.

The House of Lords has been discuss,
ing the bill in it's amended form, when
an attempt was made to secure the
omission of a clause which would per.
NIT, when wife applies for judicial
separation, the husband to claim, and
the court to grant, divorce.
The obvious injustice of this clause
was pointed out by Earl Grey, who
said that it would seriously affect any
Catholic who might apply for sep
aration, but whose religion forbade
any aDplicat ton for divorce-an event
uality that might be forced upon the
applicant at the will of the court
Lord Buckmaster, who was supporting
his bill, thought there was sufficient
safety for Catholics by relying on the
discretion of the judges. This was
sharply disputed by the Anglican
Archbishop of York, who said very
plainly that no court should be al,
lowed to have any discretion in such
matter.
The Archbishop was supported by
the Lord Chief Justice, the Earl of
Reading, who held to the opinion that
if any Catholic sued for decree of
judicial separation, it was not right
that the judge should have it in his
power to order decree of divorce, no
matter how wantonly that might out.

SWISS CATHOLICS
NUNCIO TO BE APPOINTED -
SWISS MAY NAME AM
BASSADOR.

Concurrence in the Vaticans wish
for the establishment of the apos-
tolic nunciature in the National Coun-
Gil of the Swiss Confederation, and
negotiations on the subject will begin
Immediately.
The former nunciature at Bern was
discontinued in 1874 in the midst of a
religious agitation fomented in part
by Bismarck. On previous occa-
sion, in 1898, the nuncio was expelled.
The first nunciature was established
in 1897, with Lucerne as it's seat. The
whole career of the nunciature has
been punctuated by hostile acts on
the part of the Government.
While the Swiss Government may
omit to appoint a representative at
the Vatican, it is felt this will be
done, especially in view of the Holy
Sees growing influence and authority.
In such event, Switzerland will be the
twenty-fourth country to have repre-
sentation at the Vatican. Other Prot
.estant countries, which maintain mis-
sions at the Vatican, are England, Hol-
land and Prussia. .,,,,.

The Knights of Columbus have an
nounced that they will present a ba-
ton to Marshal Foch on the occasion
of the unveiling of the X. of C. statue

The baton has just been completed by
Tiffany of New York, after eleven
months work. 1t is twenty and one
half inches long and weighs about
five pounds, two ounces avoirdupois.
The baton is the most ornamental
and expensive to be presented to a
Marshal of France. The body of the
baton, which is six inches in circum-
ference, is made Of costly blue enam-
ell. and inset are fifty-two stars in
gold, each bearing the name of a
State of the Union and of American
possessions. Cuba is represented by

DEvOUT CATHOLIC MAYOR
DERRY'S LORD MAYOR kNEELS
IN DUST AND SAYS PRAYER BE-
FORE BLESSED SACRAMENT.

The spectacle of the first Catholic
mayor of Derry, Ireland, kneeling in
the dust and praising the Most Bless
ed Sacrament as it was carried in pro.
cessiOn was one of the most dramatic
incidents of the recent Eucharistic
Conferences held in that city. y
The Bishop of Derry was bearing
the monstrance in the procession as it
left the precincts of the Cathedral.
Just as the Bishop stepped on the
threshold the spectators were startled
to hear a voice loudly welcoming the
Blessed Sacrament to the streets of
the city. They saw the form of a
gray-haired man kneeling in the
street.
II welcome you, Dear Lord he
cried, ito the city of Derry, and on
behalf of this city, o great God, Sow
ereign Lord OF Heaven and earth, |
PROSTATE myself before Thee. With
all the angels and saints, l adore Thee.

SUMNER COURSES OF CATHOLIC
SOCIAL WORKERS.

The present and sixth session at
Clifton, the Catholic Service School Of
America, Washington, D. c., will end
on August %, after which date the
school will be closed for a period of
five weeks in order that various i'm
provements and repairs may be made
before the opening of the fall work.
Many changes in the curriculum
will be made for the seventh session,
which in all probability will open
around the first week in October. II
is planned to begin regular two
year course in social work, but il ia
quite likely that there will also be a
six months course for those who have
had previous training along social serv.
ice lines. The best teaching force
and equipment possible will be se
cured for the fall session, and it is
expected that the graduates of the
two year course will rank foremost
among the trained social workers of
America

TIME FOR GRATITUDE
FRESHMAN SUGGESTS THANK OF.
FERING IN DUBLIN.

In the struggle against unjust con-
scription two years ago the bishops
and priests of Ireland took foremost
part. The bishops ordered national
novena, which worked a fervor never
equalled in this island of Catholic de-
votion. The menace was averted. A
prominent Irishman points out that
nothing has been done in Ireland to
commemorate or express gratitude for
the nations extraordinary and mirac-
ulous protection. He suggests that the
erection of a Cathedral in Dublin
would be a fitting national memorial
of that triumph.
Dublin has no Catholic Cathedral
Their two majestic cathedrals were
filched from the Catholics at the time
of the Reformation and still re-
main in Protestant hands, though new
err tenanted by full congregations
Steps, it is believed, will soon be taken
to provide Dublin with a Cathedral
worthy of Ireland's capital

LET Us LIVE
WAYS OF PRoFITEERS ARE DRlV-
ING PEOPLE TO DESPERATION-
DAY OF RECKONING WILL
BRING DOWN TERRIBLE CRASH.

Life is hard at it's best, but of late
it has been rendered almost unbear-
able by particularly odious set of
men known as profteers, says Amer
lea. Unmindful both of justice and
mercy, they have seized the necessities
of life and turned them to their own
advantage in such a way that the poor
are scarcely able to keep body and
soul together. Rent, food and clothing
now come so high that people are
fairly clamoring for relief. That there
is no exaggeration in their angry pro-
tests is clear from the fact that since
armistice day, November II, 1918, the
increase in the price of clothing al
most equaled the total increase of the
whole four years of the war. And
other costs fall little short of this
scandalous record, as is apparent from
the following table based on the re-
port of the National Industrial Confer
ence Board:

There is the story of the poor mans
struggle, a disgraceful indictment of
rich men who love gain so much that
they are willing to sacrifice even the
peace of the country to Golfers filled
up and pressed down. Thus, for in
stance, in 1919, the American Wooden
Company had a surplus of $31,754, 426
as against $8,024,436 in 1914, and
though the company charged its divi-
dends on preferred stock against its
gross profits, it's net profits, for 1919,
were yet $15,513,415. And the clerk,
the laboring man, the teacher, and
other such struggling folk were the
victims. But the day of reckoning
cannot be far off. This state Of
habitual theft cannot last; the prof.
teer will come into his own and no
one will envy him his lot,

"You may shoot me if you wish;
| shall be only too happy if you do
but to tell where the Sisters are,
shall not"
And the men fired, but above their
heads. Undoubtedly, said Mother
Elias, they had thought such a test
would force the information, and the
command had been given to shoot,
but only to Craze the hair, not wound
them.
Befriended BY Indian.
When they returned to their cell,
Mother Elias implored the assistance
of the Little Flower to obtain their
release and the safety of all their
Sisters, promising, if she did, to found
some time, and somewhere in the
United States a Carmel which would
where she would be especially honor
ed. Buffalos Carmel is the fulfillment
of that vow.
1.-TWO hours following the making of
this promise, an Indian, one of the
wardens of the prison, came to our
cell and said Little Mother, l know
that you are nun, though you are
wearing a disguise; | see the cross
upon your forehead, and l will open
the door for you at midnight SO that
you may go away At an arranged
signal the door was opened and they
went out into the night, but many,
many miles distant from the railroad
depot. Again the Little Flowers hand
was seen. Scarcely had the two
refugees gone a few hundred yards
when second Indian appeared, re-
peated the same words and offered a
horse to carry the nuns to the depot
The animal went at a good pace, but
stopped as if pulled by strong hand
when within easy reach of the station.
Arriving in Mexico City, the Sisters
went to a hotel conducted by English
folk, who received them kindly. And
then Mother Elias told how she and
her companion, being securely dis
guised as seculars, made a pilgrimage
of gratitude to the Shrine of Our Lady
of Guadalupe, in the great Cathedral
of that name. Barefooted the two
made the pilgrimage, and arriving at
the Cathedral, crept on their knees
from portal to sanctuary. By per-
Torrance of such an act of gratitude,
one may judge the dangers, the terrors
through which the two had gone. A
week later the Carmelite nuns, chill
dren of Divine Providence and favor
ed friends of the Little Flower, left
Mexico never to return.

Brief Reviews and Notices

Vers La Victoire. By Mgr. Julien,
Bishop of Arras. Price $1OO.
Marge Des Combots. BY Gabriel Jolly.
Price Is cents. Both works pub
lished by Pierre Tequi, Paris.
Some of the Bishops of France are
doing a good work in publishing vol
umes of discourses and sermons. One
often finds some of the most beautiful
thoughts and ideas hidden in these
pages. Thus Mgr. Julien offers
collection of papers on interesting
subjects that place him among the
Jealous and learned prelates of France.
Two discourses especially dealing
with st. Joan of Arc and France are
not only timely but also a call to the
spirit of that nation to realize the
height and glory and sacrifice attained
by the heroine of Domremy.
Gabriel Jolly, distinguished writer
decorated for valiant service in the
late war, describes the terrible strug-
gle of fifty-one months. With becOm-
ing modesty he refrains from lauding
the signal part which he himself had
played in that period. The whole
work centers around the devotion of
the French to Our Lady of Lourdes
and the debt of gratitude that France
owes to the Heavenly Queen who pro-
tected her devout clients and fastened
the victory. The role of Catholic Bel
GUM is not overlooked and the read
er is led to the conclusion that it was
Mary's help that finally brought
France VIGOROUSLY through the
strife of combat.

lative to the higher prices that now

fact that there is now fragrant prof

THOSE WHO THINK ABOUT
DRINKING

Under the prohibition amendment,
now in full force and effect, not only
Is it illegal to taste the hellish dis
tillments that cause eyes to sparkle
and feet to tangle, but one may not
so much as look at the picture Of the
struggling demon. The federal super
visor OF prohibition enforcement has
said so--and that is all that there is
to it. for his say goes. He has ordered
that all beer, wine and liquor signs in
previously wet territory be torn down
or painted over. and the feverish en-
ergy shown by St Joseph painters FOR
a couple of days before the fatal 18th
disclosed how his word went here
as elsewhere.
As It now is a beer bottle label will
soon class with spurious currency. A
champagne cork used for a bobber
by some placid fisherman may be suf-
ficient to put him in the broom de-
partment at Leavenworth.
The object of these strenuous pas
sages in a considerably strenuous law
is to stop the great American thirst
from thinking about it.
II any law Is psychological enough
to rend the 'barfly" from his visions
Of the past, It is. in the crisp language
Of the streets. "some law"
But how is anyone of that classified
ton to forget the cup that once cheer
ed when the daily. weekly, monthly
and semi-occasional publications de-
vote so much attention to what is be-
ing done to further Saharaism? To
tell somebody what he cannot do is to
suggest what he might do. Hence the

may expect to see the year 1962--so
say the life insurance tables. And the

There is no reason to believe that
