BENSON AND F0CH
AMERICAN ADMIRAL AND FRENCH
MARSHAL ALIKE IN CONFl-
DENCE IN PRAYER-TWO MA
TlONAL JEWELS.

An interesting little sidelight on Ad-
miral Benson's life was given by the
Admiral himself in a talk to the dele
gates present at the meeting of the
Baltimore Archdiocesan Council OF
Catholic Men. The talk was given
after the Admiral had been elected
president of the Archdiocesan Coun-
Gil. He has been for several months
president of the District of Columbia
Council
Admiral Benson did not realize that
he was presenting a picture Of him
self as he spoke. He got wrapt up
in his speech and was telling the dele
gates the power for good that was
theirs, and how they must pray for
grace to carry on their work success
fully. With prayer, the Admiral said
the Council could do all things; with,
out prayer it could do naught. Il
have found that out in my own life,' .
he said. every morning kneel down
and pray to God to help me in my
work and, make it successful. l al
ways have felt that no matter what
the stress and trial might be
God would be with me because
had asked His assistance. At night
after the work of the day is done,
thank Him for helping me and sustain
| ing me. I feel that no man can dc
aught without God. We must pray tt
Him to help us in our work as off
GERS of this Council, to give us grace
to act with wisdom and to do al
things for His sake"

CHURCH AND DISARMAMENT.
PRAYERS ORDERED BY MANY
BISHOPS FOR CONFERENCE
DANGERS OF AMBITION.

Special prayers for the success of
the conference on the limitation of
ornaments have been ordered by pref
ates\ in many parts of the United
States, including Cardinal Dougherty
of Philadelphia, Archbishop Hayes of
New York, and Archbishop Hanna of
San Francisco, who as chairman of
the administrative committee of the
National Catholic Welfare Council,
was one of those who signed the orig
inal letter, directed to President Har-
ding asking him to have the United
| States take the initiative in a move
ment for disarmament and world
peace.
ut seems to me an obvious truth
said Archbishop Hayes, that the am
bition to have the largest army Or the
most powerful navy is one of the most
unholy of all national ideals. It's hon

be the temptation to try out such en-

THEORISTS ARE PERSISTENT
ATTEMPT MEETING TO DIS
CUsS BIRTH CONTROL
IN NEW YORK.

A mass meeting to discuss Firth
Control: Is 1t Moral which was to
have been held in New York on Sun
day night, November 10, was sup
pressed BY the police. Hundreds of
men and women, many socially promi-
nent, derided the police and urged
the speakers to defy the order not to
speak. After an hour of uproar and
disorder, during which the police were
buffeted about in the crowd that
swarmed upon the stage, Mrs. Mar
garet Sanger and Mary Winser, both
notorious figures in the birth control
movement, we're placed under arrest,
charged with disorderly conduct. They
were discharged on Monday, however,
| for lack OF evidence.
1t is stated that Archbishop Hayes
had requested the police to suppress
the meeting on account of its immoral
| character.

RACIAL AND RELIGIOUS
ATTACKS.

Calling on all K. of G. lecturers and

to enroll in nationwide campaign
against religious prejudices, Supreme
knight james A. Flaherty, last week,
attributed to animus, stirred up by
organizations like the Ku Klux Khan,
the recent Sayings of three Catholic
priests.
I'VE have evidence" said Mr. Fla
herty, that professional prejudice
mongers are distributing vicious liter
allure, calculated to arouse the violent
passions of the ignorant. We have
seen this result in the brutal killing
of priests-three such slayings hav-
ing taken place within the last three
months All Americans must oppose
this evil movement, the shameless ex-
plotting of the ignorant for profit by
malicious bigots. The Knights of
Columbus will fight not only prejudice
against Catholics but against Ameri-
cans of any religion or any race and
we invite all, who, with us realize
this menace, to join us in the fight. 7

With several companions this young

walk to a neighboring village. In

Finally, the leader of the group
climbed to the top of wooden cruel
fix,s removed the corpus and then re-
placed it with the head down and
feet above, while his companions
stood about and laughed.
Two days later there was horrible
accident in the Lonza factory. A
young workman was caught by a ma
chine and dragged in between the
wheels with his head down and feet
above. In few seconds he was torn
and crunched to pieces. 1t was the
