OUT OF PLACE HERE. Old world controversies and European Jealousies are manifestly out of place here. Wo can under stand how Interests of ilval nations abroad might conflict, but In this land rival nations do not and must not exist. Wo are and must be ono and undivided, owing no alle giance to any flag but the Stars and Stripes, and strong In tho convic tion that thoso who sow dissension among our citizens aro guilty, of something only little short of treason. Contention, dissension and war are the logical consequences of abandoned religious principles. And rejection hero of practical Chris tianity most certainly will open Wldo tho door of Influences that will bring misery and fratricidal strife among us. Strong and loyal dovotlon to the fundamental doc trines of Christian faith, hope and charity is the only safeguard of American citizenship. Europe has tried everything else and failed. HEM FOR JEWS. The world war, pitiless and sav age, has spared few European peo ples, yet on none has It pressed more cruelly than on the members of tho Jewish race, especially thoso resid ing in Russian Poland. Their har vest fields have been laid waste, their homes have been destroyed, their aged men and women and their help less children perish by the roadside. In their agony they have sent forth a bitter cry to their fellow-countrymen In America. To meet their over whelming need contlrbutlons to a re lief fund havo been sought through out the country, meeting with gen erous response. Catholics every where, remembering that charity is of God, wero liberal contributors. Tho Jewish professional and business men have been among the most con sistent supporters of Catholic char ities and our co-religionists wero not "unmindful of tho opportunity thus afforded them of making some return. place in the life of Catholics, whose church Is not restricted by racial or civic boundaries a church which regards all men as children of the same Father, and whoso funda mental precept, "love one another," Is hot lmlted to men of our own race or nation. She was told to "teach all nations' and excludes nono from her altars. We must Im press deeply upon the minds of our adversaries that in intelligence, in virtue, civic and religious, In zeal for education, In lespect for the rights of our fellow-citizens, In de sire for civic peace and prosperity, In absolute and changeless loyalty to all that the flag of our cbuntry represents and demands, Catholics hero of every race possess and ex hibit tho highest and noblest quali ties of American citizenship. .MILITARY SERVICE. Compulsory military service In tlmo of peace Is ono of the uupleas nnt possibilities of the preparedness programme proposed to Congress. Military exports havo little hope of recurlng the requisite number of men by voluntary enlistment and they aro saying so. Well, preparedness has Its Inconceniences; but unprepared ness has even worse possibilities for this country. Unless wo Intend to remain an easy mark for aggression we must take up preparedness berl ously. And If we undertake It, in bists the True Voice, wo must accept tho consequences. WHAT NEXT? What indignity will this country next suffer from England? From London comes news that all lirst class mails passing between the United States and foreign countries on vessels which enter British terri torial waters, even though such ves sels do not touch at a British port, are liable to search by the British censor. This declaration was mado to the London representative of the Associated Press by no less a per sonage than tho British chief postal censor. And In tho Interview it was also declared that the British Government takes tho attitude that tho stoppage of all trade between Germany and other countries is Its right under the rules of war. Re garding tho complaint in the latest United States note relatlvo to delay of malls taken from various steam ers, tho censor declared that in no case was postal correspondence de layed more than four days. Wero the United States honestly neutral our malls would pass unmolosted. The British authorities have noti fied this Government that the trans mission through the mail of a book written by William J. Bryan, on nrlish misrule In India, has been for bidden in that country because It Is liable to Incite tho natives to re bellion. And" yet Mr. Bryan Is an apostle of peace! exclaims the Cath olic Advance. THE MINUTE WOMEN OF 1010.

FEBRUARY INTENTION. .TEATX)USY AND KELKJION. According to figures just given out by tho Protestant Federal Council of tho Churches the Catholic church has several times the largest mem bership of any demonination in tho United States, being credited with 14,049,068, a gain of 259,420, more than double that of any other. And wo believe that the foregoing omits many Catholic children. These fig ures go to prove that the CathoHc church Is the most provoklngly prominent and irresistibly successful religious organization In this coun try; Norther South, and also that the persistent pp-necutlon of which she has ben and Is tho object is taint ed nature's exhibition of that most senseless of faults jealousy. The general Intention of the Sacred Heart League for February is "Our Holy Father tho Pope." The Pope is Christ's Vicar on earth. On St. Peter and his success ors In tho primacy our Lord Jesus Christ conferred jurisdiction over ull the Bishops and all tho faithful for all time, promising that He him self would remain with his church unto the end of days. This supreme authority Is vested today In our Holy Father Pope Benedict XV., and wo aro sure that It was no mere formality when His Holiness recom mended that during this month -tho prayer of all our associates should be offered 'especially for himself. Even In peaceful days the burden placed upon tho Supremo Pontiff is exceedingly heavy. He has care oi au tne churches. Ho nfust correct tho erring, encourage iho dutiful and strive to bring with mo torn not only those wlm still call themselves Christians, but tho many millions of heathens and others who do not believe in Christ to profess to follow his teaching. Today, however, ho beholds almost all the nations of Europe under arms and his own children, the Catholics of tho warring nations, slaughtering one another In obedience to tho call of patriotism. What a sorrowful spectacle for their common father! What prudence is demanded that In tho midst of clamors from every side and tho bitter attacks of those who would be glad to havo tho Papacy discredited he may not by word or act seem to depart from his attitude of strictest neutrality. He himself has told us how he has been hampered in tho exercise of his ex alted office since the outbreak of tho war. Surely wo havo urgent reasons to pray that God may continue to strengthen and aid him and soon crown with success his endeayors to bring about a lasting peace.
