AN ECHO or
 STAINS WAR

The Nation" which supported tho Reds of Spain during the Spanish Civil War, relates tho sad story of $50,000, 900 worth of jew. els stolen from the Spanish people by the leaders of the so-calied "Loyalist" cause. Tho loot was gathered together --- ''confiscated for the cause" -- by fansacking the homes of wealthy spaniartls. While the war was still in pre- gross the $60,000, ,000 was moved from Spain to Deauville, France, in the watch "Vita", purchased by the Prime Minister of tho "repub- lic," Juan Negrin. A Colonel Pu- ente was placed in charge and in his care the loot wsS shipped to Mexico. Unfortunately for Negsin, Colonel Puente was 0 staunch ad. mirer of Indelacio Pietro, the minister of war who was deposted by Negrin Eventually the loot fell to Pietro who today holds 1t an Mexico and refuses to share 1t.
 Two weeks ago Senor pietro stood theatrieally on the deck of the boat protesting the sieSure of the Vita" by the Mexican gov- ernmcnt. But Mexico now has the watch and son the politicians will devise some means of Seizing the wealth And with tho $b0,- 100000 in Mexico, the gullible and soft-hearted Americans still givc to the touching appeals for funds to remove the S00,000 refugee Spaniards from France.

The report 6VaVe9 N1AU on JaxfF uary 1, 1916, the late Bishop Milan of Hartford, announced the fouTid~ ing of the Catholic Charitable Bureau in Bridgeport. The Bureau was established on Q diocesan-wido basis in 1920 with central offices in Hartford, officially becoming The Diocesan Bureau of Social Service. The bureau was one of the first of such to take over Catholic Charts ties work on Q large scale, becotny ing Q central bureau through which other associations operated. |,
 Various Branches
 Waterbury was one of the affiliats ed bureaus that was early oStabe lished, Rev. Eugene P. Cryne, named as director, which position he has held since the beginning of the bureau. Each separate city bureau has as an affiliate 6 Council of Catholic Women which works In harmony with the bureau, all Stesn~ ming from the State Bureau In Hartford.

 In his foreword Bishop McAuline states: "The Bureau cares for the individual, the child and the family. The Bureau Is guided in all its operations by the supreme law Of Divine Love. What an important part the child plays in the life of today. How necessary 1t Is for us to remember the command Of our Lord: Suffer the little children and forbid them not to come unto Me for such is the Kingrom of Cod n- spired by these words, our Diocesan Bureau looks not only to the present but to the future of the child. lt senses his needs and wants, thinks ct all times of the proper environ' ment and superviSes his advance" ment In nfe."

TWENTY-FIVE
 PER CENT CATHOLIC

According to the feNaple HRureS now available there are more than four hundred thousand Catholics an the combined forces of the United States Army and Navy. Since the total enrolment of the Army and Navy Is now approxi- mateiy i,e25, ,0o0, the number of Catholics enlisted prompts some wondermcnt.
 The total Catholic population of the United States Is sixteen per cent of the total population. In the armed forces, however, Cath ollcs number twenty-five per cent. How explain the nine per cent disproportionl During and after tho World War Catholics used ofIlciNl figures, which were then, too, h G. similar disproportion, to boast of the extraordinary loyalty of our Catholic people. However, the current issue Of America states that while we can still mako that boast let us be realis- tic and ask some questions.
 What Is tho renson for tho nine DOT cent disproportion between tho Catholic population and the Catholic representation in our armed forcesp
 Is 1t that there are more Catholic young men of tho draft Ngep Is 1t that Catholic young men are superior physically and therefore more apt to Do draftedp Is 1t that they arc more patriotic and moro eager to volunteer The questions are asked In no captious spirit, and are intended to carry no religious implications. They merely point to Q fact of interest, that nearly one-fourth of the Army and Navy Is Catholic, where's only one-sixth of the na- ton professes Catholicism"
 CATHOLICS AT
 WEST POINT
 Approaching the twenty-five per cent at present In the Army and Navy are the figures we have at hand for the United States Mili- tary Academy at West Point for the year of 1889. Then Of the 1900 young Americans enrolled at the Academy, 420 were Cathollc--dis- proportionate to the total Cath- olic population, but another dis- proportion of which we Catholics may be proud,
 West Point has c noble tradi- ton of tolerance and no mans religion Is questioned. Officially oil cadets are religious and must indicate their religion on their registration card upon enrolment. Since It's establishment the Acad- emy has recognized religion as es- scntial to It's work and chapel at- tendance has always been compul- sory.
 Today on a knoll c half mile from the Hudson stands tho Cath ole chapel of the Most Holy Trinity. Before 1900 the Military Academy was In the care of the nearby parish cf the town of Highland Falls and Mass was celebrated in Q hall on the reser- vatlon.
