BELLOC WARNS
Of WAR PERIL

Europe is facing a grave war
peril and if armed conflict comes
the nations of the Old World
will perish, according to Bilaire
Belloc, British historian and au-
thor.
While the United States will
not necessarily be drawn into the
conflict, the efforts of the strife
will be felt acutely here, he
added.
Mr.. Belloc outlined his view of
the present world situation before
1000 persons gathered for the
Washington Catholic radio hour.
Europe, he said, is paying the
penalty for the general break
down of religion and the attend
ant loss of unity. This religious
conflict had brought different
cultures, he said, and men are
ready to die in defense of their
patriotism. He continued:
"The religion of patriotism
has taken the place of religion
of the church. Men are willing
to suffer and die for religion
of nationalism, and in this lies
the perilS.
"The foundation of ChriSten-
dom has nearly disappeared.
Unless we find some new unity,
upon which all nations can
agree, or unless we develop
some new religion, civilization
is doomed"

Hamilton Park Formal April P to Benefit Lo-
 cal Diocesan Bureau

For the third time in three years, the proceeds of the Easter Charity Ball of the Waterbury Iu- tercollegiate Club will be turned over to the Waterbury office ot the Diocesan Bureau Of Social Ser vice. This years event, one of the highlights of the approaching Easter season, will be held at Hamilton Park pavilion the 22nd, the day after Easter Sunday.
 Turning over of the proceeds to the Diocesan Bureau was voted by the Intercollegiate Club as soon as plans were instituted for the 1885 Charity Bali. Rev Dr Eugene Cryne approved of the clubs an- nouncing that profits of the affair will go to the bureau, of which he is the director.
 Sponsoring the annual charity ball are graduates and under graduates representing almos: every college and university at tended now or in the past by Wa terburians. The Intercollegiate Club sponsored the first charity ball for the Diocesan Bureau n 1883, even before the college group had formally organized. As a re- suit of the charity ball in 1893, the committee members responsi- ble for it banded together and formed the Intercollegiate Club of Waterbury.
 The charity ball this year is ex- pected to draw several hundrel couples to the spacious ballroom at Hamilton Park, which will be decorated for the occasion. Tickets can be secured from any member of the Intercollegiate Club.
