NEW YORK NOTICE.
The Catholic News of New York
published the following account of
Col. Malone on the occasion of the
announcement of his promotion:
Col. Malone is a practical Catholic
a graduate of St. James’ Parochial
School and of De La Salle Institute,
New York, and of West Point, to
which he gained a cadetship through
a competitive examination. He is a
member of the New York Catholic
Club, and a fourth degree Knight of
Columbus. Col. Malone is an author
of wide repute and is regarded as
the best orator in the U..S. Army.
He spoke recently in Augusta before
the Catholic laymen’s Association of
Georgia. The meeting was held in
the hall of the old Sacred Heart Col-
leg Ellis street.
“Col. Malone told his audience
that he could not say too much in
praise of the Catholic Laymen’s As
sociation for its efforts. The re
ligion of a man was not questioned
in the war, he stated “Protestant,
Catholic and Jew, united by a eom-
mon bond, love of country, made
success possible. Only by the same
spirit, co-operation of Jew and Gen
tile, Protestant and Catholic, can
Georgia and other States meet and
solve the problems which beset them
daily he said.
“The address of Col. Malone was
one of the finest ever delivered be
fore a Catholic body in Georgia.

Admiral Benson, a fourth-degree
Knight of Columbus, is being form

the primaries and general elections
this year, Rome has so maneuvered
as to place at the head of the Le
gion a man under papal tutelage
and therefore ready to co-operate
with the titular head of the clerical
party.
“That alien party will doubtless
find it vitally important thus to
have a secret fellowship between
the head of the Legion and its own
ostensible head. Every policy and
purpose of the Legion, it is expect
ed, will thus be known to the cleri
cal party and to the directing hier
archy which is its actual and poten
tial head.
“One of the purposes of Roman
progandists in reiterating constantly
the mathematical absurdity that
forty per cent of the service men
.were Roman Catholics is to furth
er Papal designs for control of the
Legion. By asserting that Rome
has forty per cent of the Legion
membership, it is sought to lend
plausibility to the papal ambition
for leadership of the organization.
Of course the selective draft could
not take forty per cent of the army
from the Roman Catholic fifteen
per cent of the people. But that
axiom of mathemathics did not
count in the papal scheme of men

has succeeded. Rome heads the

“PROTESTANTS” RETRACTION
Immediately after the publication
of Commander MacNider’s letter
which he gave to the Associated
Press at Indianapolis, Editor Na
tions of “The Protestant” caused '
the distribution among his sub
scribers of a printed slip on which
appears the following:
“Correction and Apology”
“In the February, 1922 issue of
“The Protestant” Vol. 1, No. 12, on
page 191, an article appears under
the heading ‘Rome Heads American
Legion,’ the contents of which are
entirely erroneous. It is stated in
that article that Colonel Hanford
MacNidcr, the National President of
the Legion, is a Roman Catholic,
but later authentic information
proves that he is instead a Protest-
K. OF C. “PRESS” TALKS
New York.—“Round table talks”
on the Catholic press have been in
augurated by Corrigan Council,
Knights of Columbus and are prov
ing not only decidedly interesting,
but highly stimulating to many
members who heretofore have taken
little interest in Catholic publica
tions. The talks are conducted,
mostly informally on one evening a
week by M. J. Harson, who brings
to the subject a wide found knowl
edge. Foreign as well as domestic
publications are reviewed and it is
shown how Catholic papers keep in
touch with the best thought of the
world, in many fields.

“The information published was
obtained from a source which seem
ed authorative but ‘The Protestant’
is glad to make this correction and
its editor deeply regrets that such
an aspersion was mistakenly direct
ed at the patriotic head of that val
orous organization.
“Full correction of tliis error will
be made in the next number of ‘The
Protestant.’
“Very Sincerely,

“Editor.”
The retraction of Editor Nations
who has been fomenting and feed
ing prejudice against the Catholic
Church for years, Is taken here as
a further proof of his general reck
lessness -with respect to the facts
and the truth when promoting his
profitable propaganda.
Nations was conspicuous among
the promoters of the fight on the
Catholic schools of Michigan eight
een months ago. At that time he
was introduced to Michigan aud-
ences as a “former judge of the
Federal Court.” He never has been
a judge of a Federal Court.
PAROCHIAL PUPILS OUTNUMBER
PUBLIC
Paris.—The report on the pro
gress of the parochial schools of the
diocese of Ilannes in 1919 showed
that they had an attendance of 5000
children more than the public
schools.
The report for 1920, which was
published recently, showed a furth
er increase in favor of the paro
chial schools. During the year
passed there were 35,216 children in
the public schools of the Rennes
diocese, and 4^,189 in the parochial
schools, a majority of 3000 in favor
of the latter.
