the Convent of the Sisters of st. Jo-
seph of Cluny. The cardinal had re-

| X. of c. in Rome.-Great confidence
is expressed in Rome that the Knights
of Columbus welfare work in that city
has finally been decided upon in prin,
ciple as a result of the Knights visit
and the Pope's request that they un-
dertake such work to meet the anti
Catholic propaganda. There is no
doubt about the great good that can
be done; and it is expected that the
heads of the order will be in consulta
ton with the Holy See to determine
the methods and the extent of the
work.

i Lithuanian controversy-A politi-
cal disagreement in the Lithuanian
| Seim National Assembly, between
the Foreign Minister and the Social
Democrats resulted in a victory for
the former. The Lithuanian Foreign
Minister, DR.. Puryckis, is a Catholic
priest, who was elected to high office
on account of his remarkable expert
ence of foreign affairs, and his bril-
liant political and religious career
The argument arose over a debate in
the assembly for a credit of 60 mil
lion marks for the war ministry to
meet cost for army expansion. The
Social Democrats, whose sympathies
are secretly with the Bolshevists, pro-
tested against the credit on the
ground that it is but another step to
strengthen military reaction.
