He expects to arrive in the United
States some time in the summer of
1921. The object of Father Alsina's
visit to America is twofold: to per-
form the %canonical visitation of his
missionaries and to preside at the re-
spective councils. In these Provin-
cial Councils or Assemblies the dele,
gates to the General Chapter will be

Heroes.-Cathol!cs of White Plains,
N. Y, who represent only one-tenth
of the population, have answered the
attacks made by the Guardians of Lib
erty on their patriotism by erecting an
impressive monument on the lawn of
st. Johns Church in honor of the 2G5
men of that parish who served in the
Great War. The monument, in which
is embedded a bronze tablet inscribed
with the names of the men who fell
in the conflict, will stand as a silent
rebuke to those who are striving to
minimize the contributions of Catho--
lies to the national struggle. One
third of the men who enlisted from
White Plains were Catholics. Clergy
men and citizens of every denomina-
ton, including city officials, attended
the dedication ceremonies, which were
arranged by the Rev. Richard ].
Keeffe, pastor of St. Johns Church.
Subscriptions raised in less than a
week paid for the monument, which is
topped by a tiaepole fifty feet in
height, surmounted by a golden eagle
with outstretched wings.

Uruguay Catholics to Spread Good
L'terature.-The recent convention of
the National Congress of Catholic
Youth held in Uruguay furnished I'm.
mlstakable proof that the healthy con.
dition of the Church, and the splendid
progress which it has made here in
the past few years, are in a large
measure due to the cooperation and
activity of Catholic young people.
More than three thousand young men
received holy communion at the con.
Vention Mass. which was celebrated at
the cathedral, furnishing a decided
contrast to those who are growing up
without convictions and without a
thought of the vital questions of con.
science and the soul. Notable among
the papers read at the convention was
one by Arturo E. Xalambri on the
spread OF Catholic literature, in which
there was suggested the foundation of
a national Catholic library for the
purpose of spreading Catholic litera.

urged that each center of the Fedora.

spread of good books. Plans for pro.
vincial centers of activity, which
would work in cooperation with the
League of Catholic Women of Uruguay

ployed girls. were among the sugges.
tons made in a resolution adopted by
the convention.
