Cathedral Parish Boy Scouts Are
’ressing City Troops for Honors
eclared the Best Drilled and Equipped in Savannah Coun
cil at Last Rally—Owns Tract of Land and Quarters.
Has One of City’s Most Efficient Scoutmasters in Thos.
L. Finn.
Savannah, Ga.—Troop 14, Boy
icouls of America, the membership
if which is drawn largely from the
larist school for Boys, although
inly 19 months old, is making a rec-
>l-d for itself that the older troops
re finding hard to equal. Member-
in the troop is open to all boys
athedral parish. It was organ-
zed in June, 1920, under the direc-
of a committee, the members
f which were Joseph E. Kelley,
awrence .1. Wilkinson and Michael
. McCarthy. John O. McNamara
as the first scoutmaster and Jos.
Mendel his assistant. In Novem-
jer, 1920, they were compelled by
business reasons to give up the work,
ind Thos'. L. Finn was appointed
coutmaster. D. V. Daly and John
Leacy were named Mr. Finn’s as-
istants. Mr. Leacy has since re
igned on account of other piorc
massing duties and Anthony B.
Brennan succeeded him.
The troop has grown from 32 to
52 members, divided into six pa-
ols. It has its own drum and bu-
Je corps, and during the last rally
as awarded the honor of being the
jest drilled and equipped in the Sa-
annah council an dsecured eight
pyHs in the competitive contests.
jtbout a year ago the troop started
l movement to secure a permanent
lamp, and an entertainment netted
them sufficient funds to erect a
cabin near Sandfy, whe.-e it owns
a tract of five and a half acres.
The cabin is fitted up with accom
modations for 48 boys. Twenty-five
hoys attended the summer camp in
1921. The second Saturday and
Sunday of each month are given
over to a hike to the camp, and
there are also two or three addi
tional hikes during the month. Plans
for improvements at the camp have
already been outlined. A well will
he dug, a kitchen and dining room
erected, and the grounds improved
by laying out lawns, planting hedges
and flowers and otherwise making
the camp more attractive and com
fortable. •
Recently a junior branch of the
Holy Name society was formed at
Cathedral parish, and the members
of Troop 14 takes great pride in
the fact that the officers were cho
sen from their ranks.

BARBARISM AHEAD
Hilaire Beloc Fears This Is
Europe’s Future.
Plymouth—Europe is fast “rat
ling into barbarism” and the situ
ation is really much worse than the
rdinary panic-monger thinks, said
• well known Catholic historian
iaire Belloc, speaking in the Ply
mouth Guildhall on the topic “Eu-
Dc and the Faith.”
Igrhis view of the position, said Mr.
siloc, is one that is widely held
Ip |tc mttr
It is considering
rlscwhere
This prciP 'decline, the speak
er suid, haieJ -en accelerated by the
recent war. Some people have said
that a new religion will come to
transform and support Europe, just
its Christianity came to save Eu
rope from barbarism.
“Of this,” Mr. Belloc continued, “I
see no sign. The whole wall of civ
ilization is falling down, and to re
build or maintain it I see nothing
except the Catholic religion.”
Mr. Belloc indicated the direc
tions in which this disintergrating
oovement may be observed. There
is, be said a danger of a decline in
c arts by which the human com-
unty is made happy on the mater-
1 as well as on the spiritual side,
here is a danger of commencing a
rtain downward slope. It is one
t if the present generation were
come to life a couple of hundred
■s or so from the present time,
Jould be shocked to sec the cities
iccay and a lowering of the stan-
[l, perhaps half way or perhaps
lie way to barbarism,
lis peril, continued Mr. Belloc,
‘cry great, and it is a matter of
cular concern to England, which
ised on a sort of artificial scaf-
ing, erected by all the arts, all
complexities, and all the discov-
i of modern times at their high-
V.

DENZA, COMPOSER, DEAD
London,—Signor Luigui Denza, a
well known Italian Catholic resi
dent in London and a famous musi
cal composer, has died.
Born at Castcllamare d-i Stabia in
Italy, the late composer came from
a family that was already well
known in the musical world. He
has one opera to his credit, but
his fame has come from the more
than 600 songs which he composed.
The best known of them all is the
“Funiculi, Funicula,” a song that
was composed on the occasion of
the opening of the funicular rail
way up Mount Vesuvius in 1830, and
which has been, so it is stated,
translated into every modern civi
lized language.
In recognition of his musical tal
ent the late Signor Denza was cre
ated a Chevalie of the Order of the
Crown by the king of Italy, and the
king of Spain conferred on him the
Order of the Crown of Spain.
FATHER KERTM£a?J DEAN
A. Kerrigan, recently appointed pas
tor of St. Paul’s Church of this city
to succeed Rev. James E. Coyles
killed by a minister last summer,
has been named dean of Northern
Alabama by Rt. Rev. E. P. Allen, D.
D., Bishop of Mobile.
Philadelphia—Cardinal Dougherty
is not among those opposed to vi
visection, which on the contrary, he
favors if not involving cruelty or
needless pain to animals on which it
is practiced. The Cardinal’s view
on the subject are given In a letter
which he wrote to the Society for
Scientific Research before he sailed
for Rome. This letter lias since
been published in the journal of the
Society, whose members are sur
geons of Harvard, Yale and Prince
ton universities.
Cardinals Douglitery’s letter is as
follows:
“Having been asked to give an ex
pression of opinion on the subject
of vivisection, I fteem it needless
to say that, with you and all others
opposed to cruelty of whatever kind,
I deplore any abuse of vivisection
that may cause unnecessary pain
to lower animals. But as actually
conducted for the advancement of
medical research vivisection seems
to me not only unobjectionable but
even praiseworthy.
“Since the invention of anaesthe
tics and with the use of antiseptic
methods it has become practically
painless. Animals used for experi
mental purposes are well fed and
sheltered and in many respects bet
ter off than those in a state of na
ture or in subjection to work.
“According to the law of nature
the lower species of creatures exist
for the higher. The clod of earth
supports the plant. The vegetable
kingdom supplies the wants of the
animal. The brute animal and all
other inferior things are for the
good of man, who was made directly
for the glory of God. Man, then,
may use all inferior things for his
own benefit.
“If, then, to restore health, to pro
long life and even seek pleasure, it
is permissible to inflict pain and
death upon inferior forms of ani
mal life, why may not the scientific
man, for the common good, exper
iment on lower animals? Animals
themselves owe to vivisection a
great debt. Epizootic diseases, like
anthrax swine fever, chicken chol
era, silk worm disease, cattle tub
erculosis, which in the past caused
untold suffering to nmmals, have
been brought under control by the
experiments of vivisection.”
PAPER FOR HONG KONG CATHO
LICS.
Washington, D. C.—The spreadof
the Catholic press throughout the
world has found another notable in
stance in the news that the Catlio-(
lies of Hong Kong now have a month
ly Catholic paper of their own in
the English language and that, hav
ing survived its first year, the pub
lication promises to become a per
manent institution.
The monthly is known as “The
Rock,” and is edited by a lieuten
ant-colonel in the British Army.
Already the paper has gained the
reputation not only of drawing into
closer contact the Catholics of Hong-
