DIVORCES IN GERMANY
DIVORCES GROW WHILE BIRTH
RATE DECLINES.

Trustworthy vital statistics for Ger
many, just published, show that while
the birth-rate is declining and the NOR
tally is increasing, there is consider
able rise in the number of divorces.
This reduction of the birth-rate is a
problem that affects Catholics as we'll
as other Christians.
Even before the World War there
was steady diminution of natality,
but this has been accelerated as con.
sequence of moral and economic con.
ditions produced by the great conflict
In 1900, the ratio of births to each 1000
females between IL and so years of

AND LUTHER STARTED 1T
ALL.

One of the plases Of. Progress
for which tho iWorld thanks Mar
tin Luther is the prevalence Of
divorce. Under , the old (and
modern) Catholic tyranny, the
words, "l'ntil death do us part
meant precisely, until death do lis
part. Luther, however, claimed
that they merely significd a 1icti-
tiOus bond. In other words, he
was strong for trial marriage, in
spite, of the command of God AZ
mighty HIMSELF, .To-day the world
is rcaping the fruits Of such a
moe kerry, in broken homes, quasi
orphans, shattered morals and in
dividual shipwrecks by the mil
lion. Marriage was always a con-
tract, bilatcral in it's nature and
obligations: today it is merely uni
lateral, q partnership dissolublc at
the will Of either, paety. Formerly
matrinony was concerned chiefly
in hearts and love: to-day it deals
in caprice and bodies. 49,. ....... >-.
The record of the past year in
Chicago is typical Of the country
over. In twelve months in that
city, eight thousand homes were
broken up by divorce. The chill
dren Of those homes have learned
to despise one or other of their
parents. Love and affection, mat
ural to a child, have been smoth-
cred in youthful breasts. and the
seeds Of future divorce have been
sown therein. Like father, like
son. =

In a public address delivered in the

to condemn the shameless work of

for this reason that Cardinal Piffl felt
obliged to take firm, open stand
against their heartless activities.
CAS- your Bishop L should like to
turn your minds toward a new immi-
ment danger which threatens the
Catholics of Austria, namely, the
propaganda Of foreign sects," said the
Cardinal Archbishop. ''Thia propagan~
da is now assuming considerable pro

A CATHOLIC MENACE?

1t is amusing at times to read
of the danger to the Republic
from the evcr-plotting and schem-
ing Catholics. Somehow or other,
the very word, Catholic, seems to
send cold shivers down the spine
of certain people who would
think nothing of playing with wild
animals, but who, involuntarily,
frOwn atthat word. No facts ever
are alleged to Justify the goose
flesh, since no facts exist. 1t is
Just a ease of popular supcrsti-
ton: but it's hard to down.
Statistics furnish interesting
mental gymnastics for those who
seek facts, and who need intel
lcctuaL exercise. Statistics are
stubborn things, utterly devoid of
sentiment and partially: they are
like the compass.
\ patient and inquisitive collec-
tor Of such data gives us the num-
Der Of Catholics in our two houses
Of Congress. These figures are ell
tightening. They show that there
are but eighteen Catholics in the
Lower House and six in the Sen
ate--lS out of 435, and 6 out of
SO. That means a Catholics out
of 531 members in the halls of
legislation. In other words, we
have one member in every p
whereas in population we have at
least one Catholic for every six
persons in the country. Is that
a menace? If so. it would be
rather a menace to us: but we are
not afraid, we trust our fellow
citizens. Here arc the figures tax.
en- from a recent survey:
Out Of a total of 435 members
81 are nOn-mcmhcrS and Church
affiliatiOn of 9S could not be as,
certaincd. The following are the
Church affiliations:
