The World.

The poor old world is still stag
gering from the recent carnival of
slaughter. Easily did govern
ments decree war; painfully are
they recovering from the effects
thereof. Almost without a thought
millions of armed men were hurl-
ed at one another by those who
sat securely in the capitals of the
world. Terrible was the destruc-
ton of life and property. Many
OF the noblest monuments Of
civilization have persisted. Men
of genius, leaders of thought, of
art and science and letters, fell in
the fray. Misery is rampant
throughout more than half of the
earth. Man is wiser to-day than
he was seven years ago. but he is
far from being cured.
One of the most poignant eff
fects of the whole debacle is the
sweeping away of the means of
employment for SO many millions.
Industries received a death blow.
Raw materials are lacking, while
national currencies have dropped
to fractional values. Governments
frantically are endeavoring to
stabilize native conditions, while
the people hunger for work and
bread. The votarics OF Mars have
sheathed the sword, and they
know not where to turn to silence
the universal clamor.
AT the same time, ray of hope
is breaking through the surround
ing gloom. Gradually the chan
nels of commerce are being open
ed. Nations have begun to look
upon one another as necessary fol

CATHOLICS N LEAD
FOUR DiocEsEs FuRN SHED
MORE THAN WAR QUOTA.

Four dioceses Of the United States
have proved by records that they sup
piled more than their percentage of
Catholic soldiers to the armed forces
OF the country during the world war.
according to Daniel J. Ryan Of the De-
partment OF Historical Records OF the
National Catholic War Council.
The four dioccses arc Indianapolis
in Indiana, Burlington in Vermont.
Charleston in South Carolina and ga.
vannah in Georgia.
Based on the Catholic population Of
Indiana the diocese Of indianapolis
should have supplied 5,o95 mon 10 the
service. 1t is already proved by -
cords to have given $3.50. Burlington,
which should have given 5000 has to
date shown the names Of 1886 Cath
olics who served. Savannah gave $50
Catholics, whereas, based on Catholic
population, its quota was 12s: Charles
ton has already furnished 403 names,
when but 392 were required.

THE YEAR 'ls2l
The Church.

Tt may be said with truth that
almost every year is time Of
momentous Importance TO the
Church. The work OF evangeli-
cation goes steadily forward CEN
fury after century. In every land
Man is brought back to a realiza-
ton of his immortal nature and to
the pursuit of the only means
that will insure an eternity Of
happiness.
The year just closed, however,
has witnessed an era of prosper
ity for the Church of God. Her
mission here is to lead mankind
along the spiritual trails, to sane
tify the individual, to insure his
salvation. In this the Church has
been eminently successful during
the past twelve months.
In the first place, the. foreign
missions have received a distinct
impetus. An awakened sense of
responsibility is noticeable in the
Catholics of the civilized coun-
tries towards their brethren who
sit in darkness. The outposts OF
civilization have been strengthen
ed by the arrival of fresh troops
of the Cross. The fields are being
titled with increasing energy and
the material means, have been IN
creased in generous measure.
The aftermath of the great war
has left the peoples Of the dis
tmbed nations more dependent
than ever before on the mercy and
help of God. This has served to
turn their thoughts and their
aims to things Of the soul. for the
feeting nature Of earthly inter
ests is ever before their. eyes.
Thus, the Catholics OF the former
German and Austrian empires
have been aroused to renewed eff.
forts in the field of religion, edu.
cation and works Of charity

increase of $4,000 in the population
as compared with 1919. The popHin-

MANY INDIAN RELICS

Many valuable additions to the In
dian relics in the museum of St Ben
edict's College, Atchison, Kan, have
been made recently, and the collcc-
tion promises in time to be one Of
the most complete of any institution
of it's kind in the United States. More
than one hundred hematite tona-
hawks have been collected from sur
rounding states. Arrow-heads and
spear-points, of many different colors,
some OF which are cut from stone
not to be found in this part OF the
country, are included among the relics.

Market Fails
To Reflect
Foreign News
Rise of Last Fortnight
Anticipation of Result;
Further Recessions
i'm Some of Stocks

| The effect OF news on security prices
depends always on the technical posi-
ton Of the market. Thus, yesterday
the knowledge that Germany had ac-
ceded TO tho Allied reparation demands
scarcely stirred the ever-changing quo
tations Of securitics, cotton and even
the foreign exchanges.
| Bankers and men Of business regard
the settlement as ono OF the most
favorable events since the signing Of
the armistice. yet the news Of It's con-
summation was ignored by the financial
markets. The response reflects no lack
OF perception On the part OF the specu-
lstive public, but indicates the manner
in which markets function.
! The rise In stocks, which lasted more
than fortnight and was checked Last
| Friday, was to largo extent In antici-
patton of the acceptance OF the repara-
tion terms by the Germans, and more
specifically the striking recovery IA
sterling exchange and in francs since
the break in December has been asso-
ciated with the adjustment of the Teu-
tonic wax bill. Yet, with the news out,
Belgian and French francs, which up
to yesterday had been conspicuousiy
strong, yesterday receded.
The temper Of an influential group
Of spectators was bearEsh and by
means OF short selling, hitched to con-
Hnued profit taking sales, they were
able TO force further recessiens among
certain groups OF stocks. The Steel
Corporations last statement Of untitled
tonnage failed Co show that reduction
in prices had conspicuously stimulated
buying, although the decline In uneye-
cuted orders was the smallest in any
mosphere of uncertainty crested by
this statement adverse rumors regard
ing the dividend prospects Of certain
Of the independent steel companies de-
veloped quickly, particularly since they
were chaperoned by interested traders.
The main speculative selling pressure
was directed against the steel stocks,
and the motors, too were targets Of
selling. Tho disposition to depress
automobile shares was helped by such
remote influence as the recommen-
dation OF Julius Kruttschnitt in the
Senate that motor trucks be charged
a toll for using the highways.
Again the tone of the marketpiace
was irregular rather than uniformly
weak. The averages Of both thirty
typical industrial stocks and twenty
representative rails, however, revealed
further moderate net losses at the
close.
The marked strength in the grain
market was associated more with esti-
mates OF recent crop damage than with
reparations. The news from Berlin,
however, sentimentally aided cotton
prices moderately and perhaps ac-
counted for the f2mness in copper
shares on the Stock Exchange.

More Rumors Abous Dividends

Wall Street has the peculiar faculty
Of becoming bearish after ethe stock
market hes declined. 1t is seldom that
devotees of the ticker are pessimistic
in a rising market, but the minute
prices start downward they begin talk
ing of business depressions and divi-
dend reductions. The latter was tho
chief topic of conversation yesterday,
with attention centered chiefly on the
steel and motor shares. According to
the gossip, unfavorable dividend action
will be taken at the next directors
meetings Of Lackawanna, Republic and
Chandler Motor. AS regards the steel
dividends, some went so far as to say
that the disbursements for the current
quarter would be omitted altogether.
1t was pointed out that both steel COM
panies have been paying dividends too
long out OF surplus to continue them
longer when the outlook for new busi-
ness is 80 uncertain. A Chandler direc-
tor said that when the full hoard meets
on June it's decision regarding the
quarterly dividend then due will rest
entirely on the amount OF business
done in May and the June outlook. In
coming orders for this month SO far,
he said, have been very disappointing.

The Mexican Outlook

Heavy buying of Mexican govern
nent bonds listed in this market has
been under way for several days on ex-
pectations of an early recognition OF
the Obregon regime by the United
States. Recognition, it is believed in
banking circles, will be an important
step toward resumption of payment
of interest on Mexican government
obligations. A London view of the stu
alton says: at is not clear how the
bondholders' claims can be met other
wise than by Mexican loan raised IN
the United States. If enough OIL lands
are still available as security such a
loan might be supported by the Amer
lean oil interests, but the intere st
would be high and the American pub
lie certainly unresponsive. A settle
ment might be hastened if the Mexican
government would make definite offer
to resume payment of interest and TO
fund the seven years. arrears, which
now exceed sI0,792,00o. But a settle
ment would be demanded of the inter-
nal debt, much more serious and in
tricate problem. Here the arrears ex-
ceed 100000 merely on issues guar
anteed by the government of President

The Dollar I'm Foreign Exchange

The announcement of Germany's ac-
c 1tance of the Allied reparations de-
mand had only small effect on for
eign exchange rates largely because
the market had already discounted the
result.
A glance at rates of the leading
European centers on December 81, and
at the close yesterday shows the re-
markable recovery in anticipation of
favorable settlement of the indeln-
nifty question. Sterling cables closed
the year at $685. and yesterday
were only a small fraction under 81.
French francs rose from 6.S7 cents
December 81, 1920, TO S.42 cents (Tues-
day.. The recovery in Belgian francs
was more than 2 cents, while German
marks moved up from 1878 to 1.62
cents at yesterdays closing figure. a
net gain for the day OF 6 points.
The Greek drachma recovered sharply
yesterday from its collapse of Tues
day, when heavy buying came into the
market. Cable dispatches indicated
that the Greek government would soon
take steps to stabilize the situation.
