DIVORCE, RACE
SUICIDESCATHED
Priest DenOunces Apartments
With No Children
Rules.

The largest audience which has yet at
tended the annual knights of Columbus
retreat at SIS. Peter and Paul Cathedral
heard the Rev. Edwin Roman, Chicago,
last night, denounce divorce and race
sicide in the most scathing terms.
Social and moral refOrmers." Said
Father Roman, "ars going about this
country today. with no credentials but
their Grass ignorance, preaching the
widest and most impossible theories re-
garding Christian marriage and that de-
testabls thing called divorce. And they
are believed and listened to. because the
theories they put forth are Of downward
tendency and easy Of attainment. Japan,
not generally recognized as Christian
nation, a few years ago led the world In
the number of divorces Today that IN
holy honor comes to this greatest of all
republics, and the record is one in seven.
The irreligious and irreverent spirit Of
the age is responsible for great numbers
Of hasty and iIl-advised marriages and
subsequent divorces. If the couple has
lived together long enough to have chill
dren, these innocent little ones are
thrown on to a cold and unsympathetic
world before they have had the OPP
portunit~ to know the real love Of a
father and mother and the joys Of care
free childhood"
Turning to the subject Of race suicide.
Father Roman characterized IL as a most
diabolical evil which is eating the vitals
out of the heart of the country today.
And yet" he said, "the practice is
encouraged on every hand. We see in all
our large cities great apartments and
fat buildings, where the welcome sign
for children is unknown, but where the
poodle dog viii always find a ready re-
ception. The Christian home, which is
the bulwark Of all civilization, is not en-
Outraged as il should be in our day. And
yet if you destroy that home, if you dis
regard the sacred institution Of marriage
and the primary purpose for which 1t
was intended-the rearing Of children
you destroy the very fundamentals Of all
civil and religious society, and you viii
pay dearly for the practice before many
generations have passed.
"The Catholic church has been con-
demned and viii be condemned for its
unalteFable stand on the question of d.
vorce, but IL cannot and viii not change
its policy, because it is in accordance
with the laws made by God Himself"
The last Of the retreat sermons win be
given tonight, and the closing services
viii be held at the cathedral Sunday eve
hing at s o'clock.

FORMAL PEACE PROC
LANATION ISSUED
State Of War Declared TO Have Ended
July End, 1921

i Washington, Nov. l4-Peace be
tween the United States and Germany
was formally proclaimed today by
President Harding. In proclamation
signed at $3.50 p. m. the President de-
clared the state Of war between the
United States and Germany, existing
from April 6, 1917, 10 have terminated
in fact July 2, 1921, when the joint
peace resolution Of Congress was ap-
proved by the Executive.
Issuance Of the proclamation which
followed exchange Of ratifeations Of
the treaty Of Berlin, effected on Arm
istice Day in the German capital, was
considered the first Of a series Of three
steps which when completed will re-
turn the United States to a complete
peace status.
The second step probably will be the
PRONUNCIATION Of a proclamation de-
claring the war with Austria to have
ended and the third the issuance Of a
similar proclamation with respect to
Hungary. These are expected in the
near future.
Until the third and final step is
taken the purposes Of the formal proc
lamation will not be achieved, in the
opinion Of officials. These purposes
are stated to be to put IN end without
doubt to certain war laws unaffected
by the Congressional resolution Of re-
peal approved last March 3. Notable
among these wartime laws are sec
tions Of the espionage act, the Liberty
Bond act and trading with the enemy
act Portions Of the last named stat
ute are preserved, however, through
the treaty.
The proclamation has no bearing on
the resumption Of diplomatic relations
between the United States and Ger
many, State Department officials hav-
ing asserted that the exchange Of rat |
ifications in itself restored such diplo- |
matte relations. Just when Germany |
will resume her old diplomatic status
in Washington is not known to officials
here, but Baron Edmund Hermann,
former counsellor of the German Le-
cation at Budapest, is expected to ar
rive in Washington soon to arrange
for technical installation of Ger
man Embassy.
President Harding for some time
has had under consideration the
names of several possibilities as Am
Dassador to Germany, and it is under
stood that Representative Alanson B.
Houghton of New York, is first in the
Presidents mind in that connection.

brought with her for the purpose.
After carefully cutting the coupons
and putting them in y neat pile sh
heaved sigh Of satisfaction aud said
under her breath. There, that is
job have been dreading for long
time. ! am glad that have finished
Then taking the face Of the bond from
which the coupons had been cut she
wadded il up in her hands and threw IL
In a nearby waste paper basket The
coupons she took 10 the teller's win
dow and asked for the payment Of
their face value. She was consider
ably surprised when the teller very
carefully explained TO her that those
amounts would not be due until the
date imprinted on each coupon. Upon
inquiry as to what had become Of the
face Of the bond she admitted 10 hav-
ing thrown It in the waste paper bas-
ket as yalueless.
This is part Of the education in
finance which many people need and
which the late war brought TO the sur
face. Most people know the value Of
stamps, since they are familiar with
anything that pertains to postage.
There is no danger, therefore, Of tho
uniformed making a mistake in
throwing away War Savings Stamp
especially IL il is attached to certf-
cate; and the great advantage about
this stamp is that it increases in value
automatically each month and always
brings back to the owner more money
than he paid for IT,

Women, she says, ought to get out
of the car and hand wrenches when
