Noll Finds Second of Series of Articles Wherein Editor of The Sun day Visitor Records His Impressions of Europe Af ter Five Month Trip ORANGE LODGES PRAISE FAIRNESS OF CATHOLICS Protestant Deputation Re ceived Courteously in South Ireland But Not in Belfast. (By N. C. W. C. News Service) Dublin.—There were two satisfac tory features of this year’s celebra tion of the Twelfth of July by the Orangemen in the North of Ireland. One was the absence of the disor- dery scenes which have often mark ed the celebration in the past; and the other was the tribute paid by Orangemen in the Twenty-six south ern counties to the liberty and tol eration they enjoy. The members of the Orange Lod ges in the counties of Caven and Monaghan were especially outspoken in their praise of their Catholic neighbors. At the Monaghan meeting a reso lution was passed recognizing the determination of Southern Ireland to bring peace and prosperity to the country. At the same meeting Mr. M. E. Knight, County Grand Mas ter of the Monaghan Orangemen; said that the rights and liberties of minorities were being respected in the twenty-six Southern counties and Orangemen had nothing to fear so long as they met in a law abiding manner. The government, he add ed, had given practical proof of its desire for fair-play. Orangemen, he went on. should not be slow to ap preciate this. He believed the spirit displayed towards them had already borne fruit. A Contrast In Courtesy. At the same meeting the Rev. Mr. Magee stated that a Protestant Church deputation had been badly re ceived by the Belfast government but courteously received by the Southern government.

News Service) Whatever may be said about Ger many’s ability or inability to pay, the fact is that the morale of the German people has been seriously broken, and the population been terribly disunited since the close of the war. Prior to the recent elections, this disunity was the sub ject of much comment on the part of those who have the interests of the Fatherland at heart. The Australian ballot was used for the first time, and there were twenty-three different sets of candi dates running for the same offices; in other words, Germany’s popula tion was divided among that many different political groups. Women having the suffrage in Germany, there were nearly 30,000,000 votes cast, and fully half of them were for the enthronement of com munism. socialism and a kind of K. K. K. nationalism. Germany is sane at heart, but in their discon tented state her people were will ing to go the limit for something new. The antics of the mark last fall were enough to drive (he people mad. There was no incentive to work, much less to save. Those who did work made haste to con vert their money into some com modity at once, for fear the mark would have less than one-half to day’s value on the morrow. Hence the poor people,' the working people generally, were necessarily desti tute. The middle class had become poor by the loss of all interest on whatever investments it had made, and by losing at least 75 per cent of the principal because no one ex pects to recover more than 25 per cent of pre-war invested capital. Misconduct by Wealthy Many rich became richer, just as they did in this country by war time profiteering and the knowl edge of it only contributed toward the spread of communism in Ger many. During the last year, the wealthy have been investing con siderable money in other than Ger man securities, and have been doing lots of traveling, particularly in Italy, and thus inviting criticism, which is illogically directed against the Germans generally. The Rhineland, the most beautiful part of Germany, is in the so-called occupied zone, and the inhabitants thereof have a too-vivid daily re minder of the frightful war to be happy and contented, even if busi ness were good. However, business is not good anywhere in Germany and principally, because there is in sufficient money in circulation. The stabilization of money and prices by the introduction of the Rentenmark was the greatest achievement of the government since the war. and would itself have given great impetus to business if the quantity of Rentenmarks in circulation were greater. The banks haven’t them to loan, and big busi ness cannot borrow' them. Cardinal Schulte, of Cologne, told the writer that the German chancellor Mr. Marx, who, by the way, is not only a fine type of Catholic, hut a daily (By N. C. W. C. News Service) St. Francis, S. D.—Cardinal Hayes, archbishop of New York, and the Rt. Rev. Francis J. Beckman, bishop of Lincoln, have new titles as the result of the annual congress of the Catholic Sioux Indians of South Dakota held here this week. The Cardinal has been officially named Wah-ah-Wan-Glad-Kah Wan - Kah- Ta-Yah, which, translated, is “Shep herd of High Rank.” The Indians wished to show their appreciation of the Cardinal’s labors on their behalf in his capacity as a muraber of the Board of Catholic Indian Missions. Another resolution ex pressing the thanks of the Indians to the Pope for having elevated Cardinal Hayes to the Sacred Col lege were also adopted. Bishop Beckman’s new title is Nah-Wic-Ak-Cij-In, which means “The Defending Eagle.” The bishop attended the congress in person and administered the sacrament of con firmation to a class of 234 In dians. It was the first time he has administered this sacrament since his consecration as bishop on last May. It was regarded as appro- communicant, said to him in May that if, by a loan or some other method, more of the Rentenmarks could he placed in circulation, he would he ashamed to have the people of Germany accept any charity after a period of eight or nine months. People Are Divided The political agitators have done much to divide the people of Ger many, and there, as in any other country, it is a case of “divided we fall.” In Bavaria the monarchistic spirit is very dominant, while in Russia the people arc not only for monarchy, but are to a great degree communistic. The Bavarians, who, left to themselves, would be quite placid and religious, have been stirred up by. Hittler and Ludcn- dorff. Ludendorff, the Prussian, the anti-Catholic, unwelcome in his own home, has moved into the heart of Bavaria, which is Catholic, and there has launched hitter attacks against the Catholic Church and her cardinal at their very door. We wonder what would liappsn to a Catholic Bavarian if he went into Prussia to insult Protestants 1 On last New Year’s Day, the cardi nal at Munich preached a sermon in behalf of peace and forgiveness. In his sermon he declared that “even the Jews should have justice,” and “the sinking of the Lusitania was unfortunate in its effect.’ Then Ludendorff and his followers were quick to charge the cardinal with saying something entirely different. They accused him of defending the Jew, against whom there is con siderable feeling, and of criticising the war policy of the government. In an anti-Catholic campaign Luden dorff and Hittler are united, though they are otherwise promoters of different programs. Ludendorff is working for the return of the Hohenzollerns to power, while Hit- tier has a Nationalist patriotic pro gram of the American Ku Ivlux Klan type. Bavarians Want a King The Bavarians would welcome a local king, because they lived and prospered under the rule of King Ludwig III. They care little who is at the head of Germany as a whole. The Catholics of the other provinces of Germany criticise the Catholcis of Bavaria for being more interest ed in their local than in the na tional government and their failing to join their brethren in a more definite united front against radi* calisrm Protestantism has gone to pieces in Germany, and Ludendorff has the backing of its scattered pieces be- caluse his anti-Catholic program is only one side of his pro-Lutheran zeal. This anti-Catholic propaganda prevents the people from seeing what would otherwise be so patent to any unprejudiced observer, name ly that the Catholic Church alone can save Germany. Today Ger many’s Reichstag would be social istic were it no for the balance of power which the Center, or Catholic, party exerts, and no one other than Chancellor Marx, whose practical Catholicity makes him an ardent German patriot, could have formed a working cabinet out of the dis sonant members of which the new parliament group is composed. priate that the bishop as head of the five thousand members of the Catholic Students Mission Grounds who are pledged to prayer and sac rifice for the mission cause, shpuld administer confirmation for the first time to a class at an Indian mission. More than 2,000 Catholic Sioux from South Dakota and delegations from tribes in surrounding states attended the congress, which com bined the features of an ordinary parish mission with those of con ventions of Catholic societies. Much of the time was taken up with dis cussions of problems affecting the moral welfare and spiritual advance ment of the Idians and In promot ing their loyalty to the church. Be sides the confirmation class r red to, 1,550 confessions were heard and 2 200 communions distributed. Six converts were baptized and seven marriages were solemnized.

Motion pictures were taken of many of the processions and gath erings held during the congress. The pictures will he shown through out the country and will form a part of the exhibits at the mis sionary congress in Rome next year. It was decided to hold next year’s meeting at Wakpala, S.

Actually it is 100 lire, which even before the currency depreciated amounted to only $20 a month. The Cardinal mentioned his salary laughingly at a meeting of the Catholic Record Society this week. He regards it as a good joke,, and says he finds it very useful when his assistants ask for an increase in salary, for he can assure them that they are getting infinitely more than their chief. The assistants are drawing $5 a month. Cardinal Gasquet, who is 78 years of age, is planning to be gin the translation of a six teenth century volume of Latin letters which he has discovered. It contains 160 letters, three- fourths of them addressed to^ scholars in England between the years 1520-1531. CAPUCHIN PROVINCE Of St. Augustine’s Elects Father Henry. Lawrenceville, Pa.—Father Henry, O. M. Cap., was elected head of St. Augustine’s Province of the Capu chin Fathers, at the triennial pro vincial meeting just held here. He will serv.e for three years. Fathers Anselm, Thomas, Fidelis and Sigis- mund were chosen definitors for the province for a like period. Five States and the District of Columbia were represented at the meeting, which was attended by twenty-three members of the order from the monasteries and schools in St. Augustine’s Province. The province includes Ohio, Pennsyl vania, West Virginia, Maryland, the District of Columbia and Kansas, and has 170 members. ' STATUE OF SHERIDAN IS" UNVEILED IN CHICAGO Gutzen Borglum Its Sculptor —Widow of General Views Monument. Chicago, III.—“Sheridan’s Ride,” a bronze statue of the famous Civil War general and his horse, was un veiled Wednesday in a ceremonial in which leaders of the church, the eity and the State took part. The equestrian statue, of heroic size, done in bronze by Gutzon Borglum, who was the sculptor of the Sheridan monument in Wash ington, stands at the head of the' Lincoln Park, at the junction of the North Shore motor ways, one of the most impressive and prominent sites in the city. The Rt. Rev. Monsignor M. J. Fitz simmons, rector of Holy Name Ca thedral, gave the invocation, and the curtain which has enshrouded the figure of the great general since the statue’s erection several weeks ago was drawn aside by Miss Mary Sheridan, a daughter of the late general while his widow looked on. Bands played and guns boomed in salute. Addresses eulogizing the career of the Catholic general were made by representatives of city and State, and of the U. S. Army. The unveiling of the statue is the culmination of fifteen years’ effoft on the part of M. J. Faharty, for mer commissioner of public works. The $50,000 which the statue cost was paid half by state appropria tion, and half by funds raised by Mr. Faharty and his associates. MARSHAL FOCH’S SISTER DEAD (By N. C. W. C.
