LEGION PLANS DRIVE
. ON NPROPAGAND|STS
Posts Asked to Watch for
j Revival Of German ACtiV-

BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, February II.
American Legion posts throughout
the United States were asked last
night by the legion's national head
quarters here to watch for a revival
of German propaganda in this coun-
try.
A bulletin sent out by the national
headquarters said the object of the
propaganda seemed intended to turn
American sentiment against the al
lies. and to create a powerful ma
tional political machine by the ANAL
gamation of the disloyal elements in
our population"
Mass meetings in New York, Phila-
delphia, Cincinnati. Chicago, Mil
waukee, Louisville Omaha and Cleve-
land have been planned, the bulletin
Eaid. as zone of the first national
manifestations" of the propaganda
campaign.
The bulletin. which was sent to all
state headquarters of the legion, said:
There is come to the attention OF
the national headquarters information
indicating a move for nationwide
revival of German propaganda ac-
tivitieS, which are the result of
carefully directed national campaign,
the object of which seems to be:
First. The disruption of the ac-
cord which exists between the United
States and our allies, with particular
reference to France and Great Brit
ain, by the turning of American popu-
lar sentiment.
Second. The methodical creation of
q powerful national political machine
by the amalgamation of the disloyal
elements of our population and their
elevation to place of power in
American affairs by the invisible in
fuence of this organized minority.
Zone of the first national manifes-
tations of this activity will probably
take the form of series of mass
meetings throughout the country, os-
tensibly in protest against the oc-
cupation of the Rhine by French
negro troops from Africa. The al
legged presence of French colonials is
q be used to turn American senti-
ment. against France. Negro troops
were withdrawn from the French
army of occupation months ago.
Identified with this movement are
individuals whose s. disloyalty and
whose efforts in the interest of Ger
many have been notorious In the past
and who are now again In direct COM
munication with Berlin"
Lemuel Bolles, national adjutant
Of the legion, said there was little he
conld add publicly at this time, but
in a formal statement experimenting
the bulletin he said, The greatest
check to a movement of this kind will
come from those citizens Of Teutonic
extraction of whose loyalty and sim
oerity there can be no doubt

& ut is a war not against men
but against women and children"
These are the words of David
Lloyd George, but not, applicable
as they are, spoken about Ireland
at the present day They were de-
livered on July 25, 1901, and the
sentence which followed was
"You may have destroyed the con-
ventions of 1881, and 1884, you
may have wiped out the humilia-
ton attached to the memory of
Majuba; but you have substituted
for it proclamation which turned
women and children in the depths
of winter from their own homes
into the African desert" But, as
the London weekly, "Common
Sense" points out: eve look in
vain for any distinctions between
reprisals in Ireland and the Trans
vaal which will serve to excuse or
exonerate Greenwood and his
chief"

FRENCH HONOR NUN
HOLY CROSS SISTER DECORATED
BY THE FRENCH GOVERN
MENT.
(By N. C. w. C. News Service. }

(By N. G. w. G. News Servlce.)
In recognition of long and efficient
service in the promotion of the
French language and literature, the
French Government has just confer
red the title and ribbon of "Officer
d'Academie'' on Sister Mary Eugene,
religious of Holy Cross of st. Mary
College, Notre Dame, Ind. This dec
Grafton was introduced by Napoleon in
1903 to honor those who distinguish
themselves in the field, either of lit
erature or of education.
Sister Mary Eugene has been
teaching French in America for forty
four years. The fact of her faithful
and successful work was brought to
the notice of the French Ambassa-
dor, Jules Jusserand who immediate
.ly applied to his government for the
well-merited honor. The "palmes AGA.
demiques," as the decoration is some
times called, are also conferred as a
recognition of the sound literary
training given by the well known St
Mary's Academy and College, Notre
Dame. 1t is interesting to note that
the founder of the Holy Cross Sisters
in the United States, the Very Rev
Edward Sorin, C. S. c., was given the
same distinction in 1888 Otherwise,
Sister Eugene is the first religious of
the United States to have been named
"Officier dAcademie.'

REV. JOHN P. MURPHY
FIRST SAN FRANCISCO NEWsBoY,
LATER PRIOR OF DOMINO
CANS, is DEAD.
(By N. C. w. C. News Service }

(By N. C. w. c. News Service.)
San Francisco's first newsboy, who
grew up to be the provincial of the
Dominican Order on the Pacific Coast,
is dead.
He was the Very Rev. John Plus
Murphy, o. P, pastor of st. Dominic's
Church in that city, who was for six
teen years vicargeneral of the con-
gregation in California.
Father Murphy was born in Quebec,
in 1874, of a family that had suffered
greatly in the Irish rebellion of 1898.
With his parents he came to Califor-
MIA by way of Panama in 1850 He wit.
messed many Of the stirring scenes
of the pioneer days, among them the
executions of the Vigilance Committee
of 1851. He became San Francisco's
first newsboy, but his father found
how his afternoons after school were
being spent and put stop to a thriv-
ing business career.
The boy was sent to St. Dominic's
Monastery at the age of twelve and
soon developed vocation. He went
to France to study in 1860 and was
ordained in England in 1868. He was
made prior of the newly founded Con-
vent of st. Dominic in San Francisco
in 1876, and in 1892 was made Vicar
General of the Order in California, a
position he held till his retirement in
1908. He retained the pastorate of
st. Dominics which he had assumed
in 1896, until his death.

AN IRISH PEACE
TUAM's ARCHBISHOP AGAIN ASKS
FOR TRUCE or GOD.

The Archbishop of Tuam, DR.. Gill
martin, has just made another call for
peace:
81 appeal to the English government
either to govern or to let us govern
ourselves. The first function of gov
eminent is to protect life and prop
erty. The present government is de-
liberately destroying life and proper
ty.
Murder does not justify murder. If
they cannot put down murder except
by murder and arson, they are proved
bankrupt before God and man.
again appeal for Truce of God. Let
the stronger power proclaim such
truce and allow the representatives of
the people to come together with a
view to deliberate on the terms of a
permanent settlement between the
two countries. If this is done, the
dawn of peace will, believe. be seen
in the horizon"
Thus writes Most Rev. DR.. Gilmartin
to Mgr. M'Alpine, Clifden, in sending
his sincere sympathy in the horror
and indignation recent doings there
must have awakened.

toral success of his party last Octo-
Der. Those who come to Austria now
to view conditions call first on Mon
-signor Seipel for he is Papal Pre-
late.
Many see in this patriotic priest
the making of president of his
country. But quarter of an hours
conversation with Dr. Seipel will i'm
press one with his extraordinary
character. He is a conservative, but
brilliant politician, with eyes shining
forth kindness and keenness. His
knowledge of Europe, it's people, it's
problems and it's perils is profound
His grasp of present economic and
social questions is swift and sure At
time when demagogy is in the as
cendant he avoids everything that is
demogogic; yet he does not shrink
from the telling of wholesome, if I'M
pleasant, truths.
DIR. Seipel is withal a genuine DEM
ocrat, innocent of any wish to employ
violence in working the changes that
he believes will benefit his people.
His influence is pacific, but .construc-

chaos he is devoting himself to a
peaceful development of the state. If
there is any statesman among Aus

hndlng way out of the present con-
fusion will not be too great that man
is DR.. Seipel.

CHICAGO CHARITIES
CONTRIBUTORS RENEW LAST
YEARS SUBSCRIPTIONS.

Another year of pronounced success
for the Associated Catholic Charities
of Chicago, was announced at the
meeting last week.
In taking up the matter of special
contributions, Mr.. F. J. Lewis adj
vanced the idea that those who made
large contributions to the charities
last year should renew their contribu-
tons this year; and as an incentive to
other larger contributors he an
nounced that he would start the sub
scription list of 1921 with $4,000, a
renewal of his last years subscription.
Edward F. Hines followed Mr.. Lewis
address with the announcement that
he would contribute the sum of $685.
900, which also duplicates his last
years gift. Mr.. Kelly then announced
that Edward F. Carry had renewed his
subscription of $4,000. Another friend,
who would not have his name mention
ed, announced his subscription of &c.,
600.

YOUR BROTHERS KEEPER.

Centuries ago scoundrel and
a murderer, when asked as to the
whereabouts of the man whom he
had done to death, exclaimed :
Am | my brothers keeper?"
No, rather was he his brother s
destroyer, for he had wilfully led
that brother with violence into
the valley of death.
There are men today who act
out the part Of Cain, at least as
far as their nerve will carry them.
They disclaim all duty as their
brothers keeper; nay more they
seek to destroy him through envy,
Jealousy, disparagement and NAL
ice of every kind. They would
not raise the knife or level the
gun or pour the poison to effect
that destruction; not they, for
they fear the law; but the means
they use, although more subtle
and often disguised under the
mantle of pretended zeal, are none
the less effective-and none the
less imputable to them before God
for the destruction Of that brother.
There are men and women today
wallowing in the depths of sin and
despair who have been driven
thereto by the sanctimonious Grim
mails who hold up their heads in
apparent innocence, with the
surprised query Of the sinner in
the Scriptures ''What evil have
I done?" Many wife is living
through the horrors Of agony be-
cause her good-fellow husband
acted on this. principle. Many a
good man has been hurled into the
depths through the continued per-
secution Of scoundrel who was
not his brothers. keeper but his
destroyer.
One Of the paradoxes Of life is
the man who can succeed in driv-
ing a fellow mortal to destruction,
and yet remain himself the center
of admirationX But such is the
cleverness Of Some men and the
blindness Of the multitude.
While you may not necessarily
be your brothers keeper in every
sense, you are bound to avoid all
that will urge him on towards
despair. Could we but see into
the souls of men many a one would
be found branded with the mark.

PUTTING THE STARS BACK.

A few years ago a certain
French statesman boosted that he
would drive God beyond the bor-
der and that he had put the stars
out of heaven. A rather consid-
cradle boast for mere man. The
religious orders were driven out,
as per schedule; churches were
seized, religion was harassed, and
the Almighty was apparently
bested for the time being by the
unspeakable blasphemer. Then
France was hard pressed by her.

civilized world to rescue her from
powerful foe. During the strug-
gle many Of the stars resumed
their accustomed place in the fir
mament and shed their benign in
fiuence on the ungrateful country
that had driven them to alien
spheres. The atheist braggart was
glad to recognize the services rem
dered by these "stars' as they
hurried back to the defence OF the
now imperiled land.
During these years Viviani has
had time to reflect, and the medi
tation may have somewhat soft
ened his heart: and again, it may
not. Anyway, his government Sc
lected him for a delicate mission
to the United States. His was the
task of winning over the new pres

some form or other. Evidently
Mr.. Harding had ideas Of his own,
as he has expressed in his message
this week.
So Monsieur Viviani can now 60

feeling sympathy at the death OF
the lamented prelate Of Baltimore.
The Cardinals death and funeral
brought forth eulogies and con-
dolence from every corner OF the
earth, although the one discordant
note was struck by the atheist vi
viani who represented" the
great Catholic people Of France.
Of course, this was all in the game,
and no doubt the representa-

OUR ACADEMIES AND DANTE

Next September the world Of
literature, will commemorate the
sixth centenary Of the death OF
Dante Alighieri. These words
have a particular significance for
Catholics, since the remarkable
genius was not only our co-relig-
ionist, but also a practical, learned
erudite member Of our holy faith.
In fact, Dante was nearly as great
a theologian as poet, a fact which
at times battles the understanding
Of the lay reader. Thus, in his
canto on Paradise, in the Divine
Comedy, nothing but the deepest
Catholic theology will enable a
person to at all grasp his mean
ing.
A generation ago the 'sDante
fad" was nationwide: no club of
ambitious women was considered
progressive unless it featured the
study Of the divine poet. Today
little is heard from the many study
circles regarding a man who
stands forth as possibly the prince
Of those endowed with the divine
afflatus. The realization Of such
condition scarcely reflects cred
itably upon our various Catholic
bodies whether scholastic or So
cial. !,
No doubt, some Catholic schools
here and there, awake to. the fit
ness of the centenary as a time of
proud recollection for genius Of
our holy faith, will remember the
occasion with some kind of a pro-
gram. Here and there will be
raised the voice Of an ambitious
graduate telling in thrilling tones
of Dante's journey through the
internal regions and, perhaps, al
luding to the poets meeting a
pope or two where popes usually
are not supposed to GO after death.
But the glorious panorama of
heaven S beauties, the delightful
Beatrice, celestial guide to the
splendors Of Paradise, the depth
of thought that unfolds the won
ders of the divinity, the well-nigh
unutterable thrills aroused by the
beauty and mercy Of God as dis
played in His own home: these
and a thousand other features cas-
| lily may be developed in order to
disclose to our Catholic young peo-
pie and to all others the sublimity
Of the mind which conceived the
grandest poetic work produced by
man.
Naturally, much Of the beauty
of Dante's poetry is lost without
a knowledge Of the graceful Ital.

would make it practically impos-
sible for Catholic pastors and
Catholic organizations to exhibit
motion picture films except those
of an educational character, and
then only under hurtful limita-
tons, are proposed for adoption
by the State Industrial Board OF
Pennsylvania. The regulations in
question would require that films
to be exhibited by churches,

shall be restricted to those for edu-
cational purposes; that only pro

Board shall be used, or that fire

COLLECTION OF IRISH
BOOKS FOR VATICAN

A committee is about to be formed
in Dublin for the purpose of further
ing a project to collect books on Irish
subjects for presentation to the Vat
lean Library This is the outcome of
the discovery made some time ago by
Marquis MacSwiney that there is a
great deficiency of books dealing with
Ireland and Irish affairs in the Vati-
can Library In an audience he spoke
of the matter to His Holiness, the
Pope and secured the Holy Fathers
approval for the project.
The Project of the Vatican Library
has promised the Marquis that when
a representative Irish section will have
been formed it will be placed under
the heading 'Trlanda,' as distinct from
"Inghilterra. with the words, 'Donurn
H.berniae.
