of these innocent little ones. Father
Klotz has been sent to America by
Cardinal Piffl of Vienna, for the pur
pose of obtaining aid for the sufferers
in that city. He bears credentials
from Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore
and from the Most Reverend Arch
bishop Dowling of St. Paul. The peo
ple of St. Boniface parish, of which the
Rev. Werner Schneppenlieim, O. S. B.,
is pastor, presented a generous purse
to Father Klotz for the cause.
The parish house here adjoining the
church is nearing completion. It is
a commodious dwelling two stories in
height and contains 12 rooms. It cost
approximately $10,000. The church in
this flourishing parish was built in
1893, and the school in 1916. 250
pupils are under the care of the Sis
ters of St. Benedict.

DIOCESE OF WINONA
Winona: Friday morning, August
C, St. Clare School of Education, at
tached to St. Teresa College, held its
first commencement exercises in the
College auditorium. With the excep
tion of the Sisters' college in Wash
ington, the St. Clare School of Educa
tion here is said to be the only organ
ized Catholic school for the exclusive
educational training of Sisters in this
country. This new school is a logical
development from the summer school
for Sisters which has been conducted
for many years by the Sisters of St.
Francis at Winona and at Rochester,
Minn. Under present conditions the
School of Education extends its
work throughout the year. The sum
mer sessions this year had an attend
ance of 267 Sisters, an increase of 1G
over last year.
It is expected that Sisters will come
to Winona from many cities during
the regular school year to train in
educational work. About 150 Sisters
are expected to take the course in
Winona this year. The College of St.
Teresa building and privileges will be
at the disposal of these Sister Stu
dents. No lay students will be admit
ted to any of the classes.
Right Reverend Bishop Heffron

FOR ROMAN PRIESTS
(By N. C. W. C. News Service.)
Ever on the lookout for an oppor

It will serve in future as a place of

WOMEN OF AUSTRIA SAFEGUARD
CHURCH FROM ITS ENEMIES
RESIST SOCIALISTIC ATTACKS
ON SCHOOLS AND SANCTITY OF
MARRIAGE—CATHOLICS ACTIVE
IN NATIONAL PROELEMS OF
CHURCH.
The menace to which the Catholic
people of Austria, for months encir
cled by Bolshevism from near Hun
gary and Bavaria, were exposed fol
lowing the victories of Socialism in
their own country, has produced an
effect wholly unexpected by their ad
versaries, writes Dr. Funder, edil/ir
of the Vienna Reichspost. After the
first blows of the revolution, the Cath
olics rapidly gained their self-posses
sion, and sought prudently, but ener
getically, to accommodate their con
structive efforts to the new condi
tions of the state then suffering under
the worst excrescences of democracy
and Socialism.
Socialistic Attacks on Church.
Socialism, which in the elections of
March, 1919, had conquered 48 per
cent of the voters, seeks to exploit its
power by putting into operation its
doctrines in t.lie domains of educa
tion and matrimony. The Socialistic
leader of the Board of Education first
of all annulled the obligation of school
children to participate in the relig
ious exercises he smuggled through
regulations permitting the children to
absent themselves from religious in
structions prescribed by law. As the
Austrian statutes are still existent—
their abrogation not having yet been
accomplished by the Social Democrats
—the indissolubility of the Catholic
marriage is still recognized by the
state. To strike at this regulation the
Socialists introduced into the Depart
ment of Administration certain excep
tions by which the divorce and re
marriage of Catholics are sanctioned.
In every new work of legislation
and administration there lurks, ready
to manifest itself, that hatred which
Socialism and Masonry have for the
Church. Although in the government
of the state the Catholics constitute
but a minority, their vigilance thus far
has warded off the worst blows, and
every advance of *the adversary has
met clever counter measures. At the
same time, strenuous endeavors aro
being made to increase the public in
fluence of the Catholics by a powerful
movement in the future.
Activity of Catholics.
At present, everywhere in Vienna
and Lower Austria. Catholic district
meetings are held—sometimes as
many as three or four on the same
Sunday. Formerly, Catholics were
content to convene a Congress of the
faithful in their districts but once a
year. But now the Catholics of sev
eral districts gather in special meet
ings for the discussion of all impor
tant questions of Catholic national
MENDS FIXED PERCENTAGE
FOR CAPITAL'S GAINS.
Arthur Brisbane, editorial writer
for the Hearst papers, has written re
cently an article condemning modern
usury, using as his text Martin Luth
er's statement: "I call those usurers
who lend money at 5 or (5 per cent."
He might more aptly quote the ar
raignment of the new type of usury
in the encyclical on the "Condition of
Labor" where Pope Leo refers to that
"rapacious usury which, although
more than once condemned by the
Church, is, nevertheless, tinder a dif
ferent guise, but with the like injus
tice, still practiced by covetous and
grasping men." Pope Leo includes
modern usury as one of the chief
methods used by the "small number
of very rich men" to lay "upon the
teeming masses of the laboring poor
a yoke little better than slavery it
self." The usury of which he speaks
goes now by the name of profiteering.
Modern Usury.
Usury has been common ror years
but recent revelations have shown that
it has been practiced during the last
five years in an outrageous fashion.
Mr. Lauck's startling disclosures of
profiteering, made public in connec
tion with railroad labor's demand for
higher wages, were based upon figures
attested to by a multitude of corpora
tions and published in recognized
financial manuals. They have gone
unchallenged and stand as a terrible
indictment of the usury or profiteer
ing of American business men during
the last four or five years.
Dr. Ryan's Views.
Rev. Dr. John A. Ryan in his forth
coming book "Social Reconstruction
recommends that capital be restricted
to a certain fixed percentage, and that
the gains due to efficiency go to those
who have caused the efficiency. He
says: "Suppose it were understood
that no matter how profitable a bus
iness is, the stockholders will get, let
us say, only 6 or 7 per cent. The ex
tra gains are not divided among the
stockholders in the form of an extra
dividend, they go to the men in the
corporation, the Board of Directors, if
they are responsible the president,
sectary and all the rest of the ac
tive managers and directors. Under
such an arrangement the public would
know how much these men were get
ting for their work and services. It
the amount were excessive public crit
icism would check it, and there would
be no juggling with finances, with
profits, so as to put enormous amour ts
in the pockets of.the stockholders.

Under the present system dead capital
is put on a level with living brains.

life for the organization of unions,
the press, the works of charity and
the safeguarding of the Faith. A
great public assembly marks the close
of such a congress after perhaps a
two days' session. Seven of these as
semblies have been held in Vienna,
and four in its environs, within the
last six months.
These meetings attract thousands
and are signalized by the greatest en
thusiasm. Storms of acclamation
usually greet the appearance of His
Eminence, Cardinal Archbishop Piffl,
and lusty are the cheers when, as a
speaker,—and he is a master of elo
quence—he addresses these gather
ings and heartens them to continue
faithful to the Church in these days
of trial.
There is nothing more touching on
such occasions than the festive spirit
in which thousands—of all callings,
hundreds of youths, students with
their badges, and officers in uniform
among the rest—throng the churches
to receive Holy Communion in a body.
A joyous sense of confessing their
faith animates the Catholic masses,
especially the young men and the
women. The increase of the Catholic
organizations is another cause for re
joicing. In Upper Austria, in a single
year, 47,000 Catholic women have
united in the Catholic Women's League
for public and social action.
Catholic Societies.
Vienna today numbers more than
300 flourishing congregations of Chil
dren of Mary for all classes unions
for young men have been founded in
all the districts of the city. Especial
ly at the universities the growth of
Catholic unions is to be recorded with
great satisfaction. Among all the
academic leagues, that of the Catho
lics is strongest. More than 500
young Catholic students accompanied,
on Corpus Christi, the Blessed Sacra
ment during the festival procession.
A fresh breath, as on a clear morning,
goes through Austria.
Credit Given to Women.
This resurgence was made possible
by the devotion and self-sacrifice of
the clergy—always equal to their task
—and to the beneficial effects of gen
eral woman suffrage which has proved
its efficacy in Austria at a time when
the Catholic family and the education
of children have been made the object
of a violent attack. The courage and
perseverance of the Austrian women
put the men to blush.

METHODS OF MODERN SHYLOCKS
ARE JUST PLAIN USURY—DR.
RYAN'S NEW BOOK RECOM­
If Catholic Austria today has grown
so strong that she need fear no storm
and can resist the assaults of her ad
versaries, this is due in no small de
gree to the Catholic women who in
this wave of revolution have compre
hended and performed their vital task.
Austria is now on the eve of new
elections for the National Assembly.
It may be expected that in the public
life of the state also the renaissance
of Austrian Catholicity,may make its
appearance. »y.
necessary at all, it is unscientific and
unwise. A moderate rate of interest
on capital ought to be the thing
merely sufficient interest to induce in
vestment, giving extrai pay to the man
who can show extra efficiency by his
work not merely because he is the
owner of capital which is made excep
tionally profitable by somebody else.
One reason why the Plumb Plan is so
bitterly assailed by some capitalists is
because it embodies this principle,
that capital should get only a moder
ate return, because the government
would own the capital, and give the
bondholders a fixed return. The gains
of efficiency would all go to the work
ers. After all, the ethical claim to
any interest on capital rests upon not
nearly as firm a basis as the right to
compensation for labor."
At the present time the rewards of
efficiency go to the stockholders,
though, as such, they furnish only the
capital. They may be anonymous.
They may never have seen the indus
trial plant in which they have invest
ed. They may know nothing of the
business. But the rewards of the
progress of industry go in very great
part to them. This fact is habitual to
present-day business and is one of the
chief sources of profiteering or usury.
WOlMnpAGE
ITALIAN WOMEN'S VOTE TO AID
CATHOLIC PARTY.
Woman suffrage, which seems cer
tain to triumph at the next elections
in Italy, is expected to increase the
strength of the Popular (Catholic)
party in all parts of the country, ac
cording to Father Giovanni Semeria,
former chaplain of the Italian army,
who is making a tour of the United
States in an effort to find support for
his plan of providing homes for 200,
000 children left orphans by the war.
The Italian Socialists have for a long
time included woman suffrage in their
program, and theoretically have been
its constant champions, but in practice
have made no attempt to enfranchise
Italian women, Father Semeria says.
Few women will adhere to any party
which attacks religion.

THE POPE'S GUARD
PAPAL GUARDS MAY BE SUMMON­
ED FOR JURY SERVICE.
(By N. C. W. C. News Service.)
An interesting point of law has re
cently been before the Italian courts.
There "was on record an old decision
exempting the armed forces of the
Vatican from the duty of serving on
juries. In 1904 it was laid down that
the members of the Noble Guard
should be regarded as an armed force
on active service and Count Carpegna
was exempted from being called to
serve on a jury.
The rule, which applies, of course,
only to Italians, stood until recently,
but a higher court has just reversed
it. The decision is based on the third
clause in the law of Guarantees, a
paragraph in which says that the Su
preme Pontiff can retain the custom
ary number of persons necessary for
himself and for the custody of the
Sacred Palaces, but without prejudice
to the duties and obligations of those
persons according to the existing laws
of the Realm.

IT IS TAKEN SERIOUSLY, SAYS
CHAPLAIN—DEFINITE PROGRAM
BEING ARRANGED FOR MORAL
GUIDANCE OF SOLDIERS.
(By N. C. W. C. News Service.)
Every who knows Chaplain James
F. Houlihan, U. S. A., realizes that he
can call a spade a spade in language
as sincere and emphatic as almost any
other person in the military establish
ment. He is not much given to camou
flage and he has some decided ideas
about religion in the Army. Here are
some of his ideas on this subject pre
pared -for the Nationad Catholic Wel
fare Council's News Service.
"Do you know that religion is taken
seriously in the Army? Do you know
that there is one Chaplain for each
twleve hundred officers and men? Do
you know that the religious work of
the Army is under the leadership of a
wonderfully strong chaplain, Colonel
John T. Axton? Do you know that
the best priests and ministers of
America are to be the spiritual lead
ers of our soldiers? Do you know that
all officers, from General Pershing
down to the most recently commis
sioned second Lieutenant will back
the Chaplain in everything he does,
on account of the fact that a morally
decent Army will be an efficient and a
great power in stabilizing our nation
al life?
"Army life has done much for Ameri
can youth. The health side of the
Army cannot be questioned. It is ad
mittedly the best approach to normal
health in our national life. It makes
a weak man strong and the average
man with health impediments of less
er importance can become normal,
more quickly, in the Army than else
where. The veterans of the World
War admit this important fact. The
military training given by the Army
makes the average man more alert,
more sensitive to personal appearance,
more respectful of law and order and
more American. But what of religion
in the Army? Has it any real impor
tance
"A priest or minister who desires, to
become an army chaplain must be a
high grade man. He is picked by his
church and the selection is done very
carefully. The average chaplain when
he comes to the service is a young
man. He must have good health. His
education is tested and must be ap
proved not only by his church but the
Army authorities as well.' He must
be a man of good sense, fine spiritual
life, know how to reach men in an
easy natural manner, be a tireless
worker, value his profession, as the
representative of God, above all else
be a gentleman at all times and give
his comrades in arms a perfect ex
ample of what right living and right
thinking can do for the average hu
man being.
"This is the kind of man that is to
take care of religion in the Army. Do
you not think that under two hundred
and forty chaplains of this type our
men will be well taken care of? Will
it not be a great comfort to the aver
age father and mother to know that
when their boy goes to the Army he
will be in a position to attend Divine
service and be helped by a really hu
man spiritual leader? Will it not ap
peal very strongly to the Catholic fam
ily to know that a son can find Mass
and the Sacraments within his regi
ment and that some fine military
priest is always about to help ahd
guide this son aright.
"When the reorganization program
is completed and our Army slips into
its normal functions, the Chaplains
will take a most important place in
the military establishment of Amer
ica. Watch the religious life of the
Army. The new Senior Chaplain has
in mind a very definite program for
the moral guidance of our soldiers. It
will be a practical program, and our
Army will have a spiritual background
that will pave the way for many bless
ings and great strength."
Chaplain Houlihan has just been ap
pointed assistant to the chief of Chap
lains, Col. John T. Axton. In this ca
pacity he will be of great assistance
in the development of sane results
He is intensely interested in recruit
ing and gained some insight into th§

Infantry, now in Tientsin, China, has
received from the French Government
the Medal of Honoy in recognition of
his services with the American Ex

The French decoration was trans

ALSATIAN SAINT
TWELFTH CENTENARY OF SAtNT
ODILE IS CELEBRATED.
(By N. C. W. G. NewslSei,viceJ
The twelfth centenary of the birth
of St. Odile, protectress of Alsace, wa3
celebrated with full splendor at the
grave of the saint on St. Odile's Hill,
which commands a full view of the
Alsatian Plains. This is the very spot
where, in the seventh century, rose
the convent where she ended her days.
The Emperor Charlemange, in 77!J,
and Pope Leo IX, in 1045, had gone to
pray at the saint's grave.
The celebration of the twelfth cen
tenary lasted a whole week. One of
the presiding prelates was Mgr.
Streichei, who christened several of]
the Uganda martyrs. Mgr. Streicher
was born at the foot of St. Odile's
Hill.
Thousands of people from all over
Alsace and from the remotest regions
of France scaled the hill and, attend
ed by the military bands from the
surrounding Alsatian villages, partici
pated in the immense procession es-1
corting the saint's relics. These were
carried in triumph through the for-1
est.
Every night the illumination of the
cliapel and of the monastery—which
tower above the plain from a height
of 1,500 feet—was seen from the dis-!
tant hills of Lorraine and of the Black
Forest.

Mgr. MeriCi Professor at the Sor

haustive study on the future life. He
opens his treatise with a disquisition
on the immortality of the human soUl.
In order to clear the ground for the
structure which he rears the learned
author first destroys the intellectual
rubbish which has been gathered for
ages. He then examines into the doc
trine of immortality from the stand
point of universal religion, refuting
the many errors that have been built
up around this tenet of sane philoso
phy. At the same time he investigates
such problems as the transmission or
the soul, and the possibility of in
habitants on other planets than ours.
Spiritualism and other theories are
completely demolished.
The second volume considers the
teaching of our faith concerning a
future life. In this part of the work

To the Editor:
The Catholic Bulletin of July1531 has
an editorial headed, "Social Emi
nence," which is highly opportune.
Indeed, true eminence is found only terest since August^5th,^20, or^ such
in God's Church, which produces
saints and truly brilliant men in all
professions. Too many, even among
Catholics see eminence only in wealth
and its silly trappings, and not a few
go over to the enemy, because the
Church, to which they had promised
loyality, has not the trappings of
wealth. They sell their birthright
for a mess of pottage. Not a few fam
ilies, here in Texas, quit their mother
church because the building was poor
and that of non-Catholics was very
attractive. How will those parents
answer their Judge for having led
their children astray. Do srocH par
ents realize the irreparable i'-wrong
they do? We nitost obey God' rather
than Silly society .v-'?
