BISHOPS ON DISARMAMENT

Differences may exist as. to particu-
lar conclusions of the Washington
Conference. Some may feel that ton
les have not been considered which
demand action. The Conference. as a
whole and its general results. howev-
er, have worked for the peace of the
world. For this we may be both
grateful and hopeful The spirit and
many OF the results Of the Conference
are singularly in line with that orig
inal inspiration to world peace is
sued by the greatest champion of this
humane cause.-the late Pope Bene-
dict XV-in his note of August, 1917.
AS Catholics-brother of the Prince
of Peace-and as Americans, we have
the spiritual responsibility Of promot-
ing peace not only in our own coun-
try but throughout the world Amer
lea has set generous example to the
nations. She has not labored in vain.
We trust that the practical results
will not fall short of the expectations
of our peace-loving people.
In its statement urging the calling
of the Limitation Of Armament Confer
ence, the Administrative Committee
said: sitt
+ "A congress of nations. called at
Washington by the American Govern
ment, backed by popular interest and
appeal. will secure undoubtedly prac-
tical. effective measures for the pro-
motion of enduring world peace. Thus
shall America once again Show her
leadership on the path of civilization. .

HANS HUBER DEAD
SWISS LOSE GREAT COMPOSER
WAS A DEVoUT CATHOLIC.

Catholic Switzerland has lost one of
it's .glories: the composer Hans Huber.
Critics named him one of the masters
of the present day, and give him a
place close to Saint-Saens. He wrote
four Masses, two for orchestra, and
two for organ alone. He also COM
posed remarkable Christmas Ora
torio.
The illustrious composer was prac-
tical Catholic. The papers announcing
his death all mentioned the fact that
it was his custom to send an Offering
to the Church of the Madonna at Lo-
carno, whenever he was called upon
to appear in public. 1t was his way of
asking the blessing of heaven on his
work.

AMERICAN FAIRNESS TO .TRI-
UMPH.

The Administrative Committee of
the National Catholic Welfare Coun-
Gil has issued the following statement
on the subject of the Washington Con-
ference on the Limitation of Arma-
ments:
+ The National Catholic Welfare
Council, in public pronouncement
last April, urged the calling of a Limi-
tation of Armament Conference at
Washington. That Conference has
met and adjourned; and we feel that
the hopes which led us to join in urg-
ing its assembling have been substan-
tally vindicated. Y
Complete disarmament was neither
looked for nor advocated. Practical
steps toward the decrease. of arma-
ment with due safeguarding Of the ma
tiona1 defense were asked. Promotion
of the ideal Of peace among nations
by mutual conference and understand
ing were demanded. These have been
accomplished. The road to continued
world peace has been made wider and
clearer. The rule of justice among
the peoples of the world has been
strengthened.

MOTHER THEODORE GUER|N
DATA FOR cANoNIzATioN TAKEN
TO ROME.

Mother Mary Cleophas, superior
general of the Sisters of Providence in
America, has arrived in Rome to lay
before the new Pope, Plus XI, the
mission which was carrying her to
Europe when Pope Benedict XIV died.
Her mission is to have canonized as
a saint Mother Theodore Guerin, who
founded st. Mary's of the Woods, Ind,
in 1910:
In addition to data to prove that
Mother Guerin possessed all the vir-
tues necessary to entitle her to recog-
milton as saint, Mother Cleophas is
carrying the sworn statements of two
reliable doctors of medicine that when
the body of the ST. Mary's founder
was exhumed in 1907. for re-burial un-
der a church altar at the college, the
brain was found perfectly intact.

More About Pope Plus XI

Alpine climbing has always been a
hobby of7the new Pope. His feat in
climbing to the top of the Zumstein
peak In the Italian Alps, described by
himself in the Bulletin of the Italian
Alpine Club in 1889, the year in which
he made the ascent, remains d classic.
So great was his daring that his
comrades were often afraid to follow
him UP the dizzy slopes. He was un-
firing and noted especially for his
ability to cross difficult places with
jump. AT Desio, his birthplace. where
he lived until the age of twelve. he
was often called the jumping boy
His discovery of route TO Monte
Rosa exclusively through Italian terri
tory, was advantageous because all
other previous routes went through
foreign territory, resulting in great in
convenience to the climbers
Devotion to His Mother.
The Pontiff's father, a weaver of the
middle class, died in 1870 at Milan.
He always showed a very special and
tender devotion to his mother, SO
much SO, that when he was appointed
v1ce-prefect of the Vatican Library.
he secured permission to continue his
labors at Milan in order that he could
for several months of the year be near
her, as her health would not permit
her removal to Rome
While librarian at Milan the new
Pope led remarkably ascetic life.
He is said to have taken only one
meal daily after his morning coffee.
He arose at five o'clock. seldom re-
tired before one in the morning and
devoted several hours day TO medita-

His tact, skill and heroism led him
to play an important part in the final
settlement of the political and ecclesi-
astical difficulties that surrounded the
resurrected Polish state So impor-
tant were his services that only ayfew
days before the assembly of the con-
clave, the Polish government sent him
the Order of the White Eagle, the
highest Polish decoration, in recogni-
tion of his services as Papal Nuncio,
to which post he was advanced when
the Polish state was formally recog-
nized as nation.
The fact that all nations recognized
his fairness and judgment is indicated
by his appointment as Ecclesiastical
Commissioner for the plebescite in
Upper Silesia, at the unanimous re-
quest of Poland, Germany and the
Inte1-Allied Commission.

NEW POPE EMINENT IN MANY
FIELDS or HUMAN ENDEAvoR-
RECOGNIZED ART AUTHORITY
AND HISTORIAN, DECORATED
AS SUCCESSFUL DIPLOMAT
DEVOTED TO, His MOTHER.

Diplomat, art-loyer, historian, lin
guist, athlete;-few cardinals who
| have ascended the papal throne have
been marked by more varied qualities
OF mind or more extraordinary physi-
cal powers than Pope Plus XI.
The life Of the gentle and ascetic
priest, who in the midst of absorbing
labors in the Ambrosian Library, could
find time to turn his attention to pre-
pairing the chimney sweeps of Milan
for first Communion, has been one
that has brought him into contact
with men and women of every walk of
life. In any surrounding he possessed
the faculty of making himself thor
oughly at home and of dominating his
immediate circle.
| Ambrogio Domieno Achille Ratti is
the full name of the new Pope. He is
an authority on Hebrew, he speaks
French and English fluently and is
acquainted with the Slavic as well as
|other languages.
A prolific writer, he is said to have
prepared and edited more than three
hundred books and pamphlets cover
ing wide range of subjects. Art and
archaeology are his mental diversions.
He has been particularly interested in
the preservation and study of rare and
ancient manuscripts
His interest in Art.
OF his interest in art, Charles Loe-
ser, an American art-critic, who had
the privilege of being member of
Milanese arr, circles in which the new
Pope was leading figure, speaks
most enthusiastically
He applied himself" declared Mr..
Loeser, particularly to the classical
tion and preservation of the manu-
scripts entrusted to his care as pre-
feet Of the Ambrosian Library. He
was most painstaking in his efforts to
aid any one who was interested in
study and research. He would go to
infinite trouble to aid a person in the
search for an old manuscript or an
illuminated missal. He was regular
contributor to the Rassegna d'Arte, a
periodical publication of the cognos-
cent? Of Milan, and was especially in
terested in the discussion and preser-
walton of painting, architecture and
sculpture"
During his years in Milan, Mgr
Ratti was one Of a group of cognos-
cent? who gathered frequently at the
studio of Caveneghi. the great restorer
of Leonardo de Vinci's Last Supper"
and other masterpieces. Here he led
the discussions of lost art treasures
and rare paintings and manuscripts

nal Rattfs accession, the inestimable
collections of the Vatican will be even
more carefully preserved than ever
and be made most generously acces.

FORMER hUNC|O TO POLAND
POPE Plus x SENDS MESSAGE TO
COLOGNE.

Pope Plus XI has sent a special mes
sage to the Catholics of Cologne,
through Archbishop Schultz, recall
ing with pleasure his several visits to
Cologne and expressing his very spe.
cial sympathies for the Cologne
church, whose traditions run back to
Apostolic times" The message has
caused great qualification.
Monsignor Ratti was papal nuncio
to Poland. The fact that he was
selected as ecclesiastical commission
er for the plebiscite in Upper Silesia
is an indication of the high regard
that both Germany and Poland had for
his fairness.
