BELGIUM ADDS TO STEEL FORTS FACING BERLIN Defenses Will Rim Borders From Mediterranean to North Sea. 'Copyright, 1934. by United Press) PARIS, April 21. Bolgium has decided definitely to extend along the German frontier to the sea the “wall of steel" that France has built on her part of the border from Switzerland to Belgium, it was learned tdoay. It was understood that the Bel gian staff submitted the plans to the French general staff, which made suggestions for further strengthening. As plans are now, military engineers believe that between Germany on one .side and France and Belgium on the other, there will be an invisible wall which no army can pass. French authoritative circles said that the Belgian wall probably would be completed within a year, w'hen the two countries would lie behind fortifications of steel and concrete really extending from the North sea to the Mediterranean sea —for France’s system of forts on the southeast extends from Switzerland to the sea along the Italian frontier. Only the Swiss frontier will be left unfortified. Belgium in Triangle Belgium really will lie hemmed in between two fortified walls, with the North sea forming the third side of the triangular w'edge which Belgium cuts into the north of Europe. France already has laid down the foundations of a fortified defense line on the French side of the Belgian frontier. After the Belgian forts are completed, an invader to reach France through Belgium will have to break through two separate lines. The French “wall of steel” is known as the Maginot wall, built under the late Andre Maginot, war minister. This wall now ends at Belgium. Belgium is to take it up and extend it along the German and Dutch frontiers. In the Belgian ‘ wall’’ will be guns capable of shooting entirely over the strip of Holland that extends southward between Belgium and Germany. There will be separate forts, believed impregnable, backed up by a continuous line of machine gun “pill boxes.” artillery posts, underground passages and fortifications. Troops Are Mobile The fortifications will hook up with the advance line of France's two “walls" at Metz and Longwy. The Belgian second line will extend from the Meuse river to the Scheldt. Two army corps will occupy the frontier area. Through the Belgian province of Luxembourg. west of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, theie will be several hundred “super pill boxes.” Fortified casernes, to house troops, are under construction at Bastogne and Bielsalm, and are to be completed in August. These troops will be highly mobile, and on bicycles, motorcycles and in automobiles and trucks can cover the whole frontier. Armored airplanes, caterpillartread automobiles carrying guns, mobile mortar batteries and mobile five-inch guns will occupy the area. Backing up the forts there will be the Belgian lowlands. At any time Belgian engineers will be prepared to flood them too deep for horses or cars to cross. 4 PENNSY TRAINS TO BE AIR-CONDITIONED System Plans Installation of 700 Cars This Summer Four Pennsylvania railroad limited trains serving Indianapolis, will be air-conditioned, according to an announcement by H.

200 YEARS OF CATHOLICISM

An Authentic History of the Church in Indiana —By Humbert P. Pagarv-

CHAPTER IV. BISHOP BAZIN’S SHORT RULE. ADMINISTRATION OF BISHOP ST. PALAIS. 1849 TO 1877. St. Palais as a missionary. Orphan asylums built. Diocesan priests of IXSO. Arrival of Benedictines from Switzerland. Division of Diocese in 1857. Other Orders established. Bishop’s death in 1877. THE Rt. Rev. John Stephen Bazin, D. D., third bishop of Vincennes, was born in Lyons, France, 1796. He came to America n 1830 and was received into the diocese of Mobile where he labo red seventeen years. He u’as a zealous and devoted priest and particularly interested in the instruction of youth and organizing of Sunday schools. Because of his unusual qualification, he was made vicar-general of Mobile. On the resignation of Bishop Hailandiere, the sixth provincial council of Baltimore suggested Father Bazin as his successor. The official appointment was made by Pope Pius IX Sept. 3. 1847. He was consecrated at Vincennes in the Cathedral, Oct. 24. by Bishops Portier of Mobile, Purcell of Cincinnati and Hailandiere of Vincennes. He was only 52 at that time and much was expected of the new prelate. His first act was to call the Rev. Maurice St. Palais from Madison and appoint him vicar-general and superior of the seminary at Vincennes.

. The raw, cold winter of Indiana was much harsher than that of sunny Alabama. He contracted a cold and died after an illness of only a few days on Easter Sunday, April 23, 1848, having occupied the episcopal post only six months. On his deathbed he appointed Father St. Palais administrator during the vacancy of the see. He was buried by the side of Bishop Brute. Father St. Palais was made bishop to succeed the lamented Bishop Bazin on Jan. 14, 1849, by Pope Pius IX. The fourth bishop of the diocese of Vincennes w’as born Nov. 15, 1811. in La Salvetat, France, of a noble and ancient family with ancestry dating back to the time of the crusades. The turbulent conditions of France made him resolve to enter the service of God and hi§ church at the seminary of St. Sulpice, Paris, where he was ordained at the age of 25. Having heard the saintly Bishop Brute, while the latter was in France, in one of his appeals for missionaries, he resolved to accompany him to Indiana, arriving at Vincennes in 1836. n b o HE WAS assigned to a station near Loogootee and visited the settlements of Dubois and Spencer counties. It is said that he made use of a Lutheran interpreter who translated his French and English sermons into German whenever he visited German settlements. Later he went to northern Indiana among the Indians, preaching and baptising them. In 1839 he was given Chicago as a charge. Here he met with much opposition, even persecution, but his fine disposition finally won him the respect of the inhabitants and with private means he built St. Mary’s church (now at Wabash avenue and Ninth street) which became the first Cathedral of Chicago. He remained in Chicago till 1844 when it was raised to the status of a diocese. From there he went to Logansport and, in 1848, to Madison. In his thirteen years of missionary travel, young Father St. Palais experienced all the privations and dangers of pioneer life on horseback —hunger, cold, robbery (one time in imminent danger of death from robbers who wanted his money, but he foiled them by escaping through a window). The trying experience of these years were to serve him most ably afterwards. Such was the priest that became bishop on the death of Bishop Bazin. He was consecrated in the cathedral at Vincennes by Bishop Miles of Nashville, assisted by Bishop Spalding of Louisville, and Father Hippolytus Dupontavice. vicar-general. From the very day of his consecration, his first object of attention was the care of the orphans. His heart went out to these little ones and he determined to build an asylum for girls at Terre Haute where they might receive the shelter and care otherwise denied them. For the boys he built an asylum at Highland, near Vincennes. His next object was to secure more priests for his evergrowing diocese. He could not always depend upon France as his predecessors had done. He wanted to establish in his own diocese an institution which could supply him with sufficient priests for his own needs. Bv 1850 his diocese had 30.000 souls, but only thirty-five priests, hence, very often, one priest had to serve two or more churches. In an area of 35.885 square miles, what a flock with so few shepherds! 808 '“P'HOSE thirty-five priests created A history in the diocese for their generation and the next, and laid the groundwork for the great expansion of 1850 to 1877. Their names, with the parishes and stations as assigned to them at that time are as follows: Vincennes: The Rev. Ernest Audran and the Rev. John B. Chasse at the cathedral and small stations in Knox and Sullivan counties. The German congregation a*’ Vincennes was in charge of Rev. Conrad Schniederjans. At Washington: The Rev. John McDermott.

Oldenburg: Franklin county, the Rev. Joseph Rudolf, attending also Enochsburg in same county and Pipe Creek in Ripley county. Richmond: The Rev. Anthony j Carius. St. Andrew’s church, visiting also Cambridge, Hagerstown, and Abbington in Wayne county and Laurel in Franklin county. Indianapolis, Marion county: The Rev. John Guegen, visiting also, St. Vincent's in Shelby county; Straw- | town in Hamilton county, Cumberland, Hancock county and Pendleton, Madison county. Lafayette: The Rev. Michael Clarke, St. Mary’s church, attending also Covington, Delphi and other stations. Lagro, Wabash county: The Rev. John Ryan, also in charge of Huntington. At Logansport and Peru: The Rev. Patrick McDermott. Ft. Wayne: The Rev. Julian Benoit and the Rev. Edward Faller; they also attended several stations in Allen, LaGrange, Steuben. Noble, Whitley, De Kalb and Wells counties. South Bend: The Rev. Edward Sorin, the Rev. E. Delisle, the Rev. Francis Cointet; the Rev. Francis Gouesse. At Our Lady of the Lake, the Rev. Theophilus Mainault. From their institutions, these priests also visited Mishawaka. Michigan City and St. John’s in Lake county, also Goshen, Leesburg and Plymouth. Terre Haute, Vigo county, Montezuma. Clinton and Merom: The Rev. Simon P. Lalumiere. St. Mary-of-the-Woods, Vigo county: The Rev. John Corbe. At Indianapolis: The Rev. A. Granger, Master of novices for the Novitiate of the Brothers of St. Joseph. B B B DURING his episcopacy, Bishop St. Palais visited Europe three i times. 1849. 1859, 1869—the regular ”ad limina” visits to Rome incumbent upon all bishops. We have already referred to his constant need of priests. On his first visit to Europe he went to Switzerland at the Abbey of Maria Einsiedeln and prevailed upon Abott Henry Schmid to send him a colony of Benedictines for his diocese. His request bore fruit about a year later, in 1852. At that time, the Rev. Joseph Kundeck, pastor of the German congregations at Jasper, Ind., and vicinity, visited Europe and again presented the request of Bishop St. Palais for the establishment of a Benedictine monastery in Indiana. This time, the Abbot consented and in January 1853 two Benedictine priests, the Rev. Ulrich Christen, a native of Switzerland, and the Rev. Bede O'Connor, a Londoner of Irish descent, arrived in Indiana. The site selected for the new institution was in Spencer county, in the extreme southern part of Indiana. Thus was founded that wonderful Benedictine Abbey and Seminary at Saint Memrad. which has since sent out hundreds of priests to nearly every diocese in the middle west. The next important event in the long administration of Bishop St. Palais, was the division of his diocese in 1857. The growth of population in Indiana with its territory extending 267 miles north and south and 142 miles east and west gave the state 1,250,000 inhabitants. Great distances and growth of parishes made a second diocese imperative. Therefore, by a decree of Pope Pius IX. dated Jan. 8, 1857. the*northern half of Indiana was erected into the diocese of Ft. Wayne with the southern boundary established just north of Indianapolis, formed by a line south of the following counties: Fountain. Montgomery, Boone. Hamilton, Madison. Delaware. Randolph and Warren. The Rt. Rev. John H. Luers was made the first bishop of the new diocese. Our history from this point on will confine itself to the diocese of Vincennes, comprising the southern half of Indiana. Therefore, except for occasional references, our narrative will not concern itself with the northern diocese. B B B WHEN the division of the diocese was effected, Bishop St. Palais was tendered the archepiscopal see of Toulouse, France, but he declined the honor, professsing his love and chosen preference for Indiana. In 1867, with the co-op-eration of the Benedictince Fathers at St. Meinrad. the bishop induced the Benedictine Sisters from Covington. Ky., to come into his diocese. They established themselves at Ferdinand, in Dubois county, and erected the convent of the Immaculate Conception. One year later, the Franciscan Fathers established a seminary at Oldenbeurg, in FYanklin county. Other orders established during the regime of St. Palais were the Ursuline Sisters, the Sisters of St. Joseph and the Sisters of the Precious Blood. Thus, with the establishment of St. Meinrad’s Abbey and Seminary and the orders of priests and nuns above enumerated, adequate means were provided for the educational needs ! of the diocese so that the spiritual nourishment of the vast flock grew apace with other developments. The civil and industrial development of the state surged by leaps and bounds. The digging of the Wabash and Erie canals begun in 1832. which was to link Toledo with vans- ; viile by water routes, constituted a great factor in the development of the state and brought thousands of Irish and German immigrants to Indiana. The canal project was never completed because of the coming of the railroads with their quicker mode of transportation, but

the building of the railroads brought further infusions of Irish and Germans along with many New Englanders and easterners. The Civil war drew 208,000 soldiers from Indiana, with more than an adequate proportion of Catholics who enlisted for the preservation of the union. Among the Indiana priests who served in the war was the Rev. William Corby, C. S. C., professor of discipline at Notre Dame university who, after the war, served as president of the university until 1881. Father Corby volunteered his services with the famous Irish Brigade of New York and was appointed their chaplain in 1862. For three years he was in all the principal battles of the Army of the Potomac under Generals McClellan, Burnside, Hooker, Meade and Grant. Priests of the diocese who served in the war and ordained afterward were: The Rev. Victor Schnell. beloved pastor of St. Patrick’s in Terre Haute for thirty-five years, ordained Sept. 12. 1868. and died at Terre Haute. Nov. 22. 1919; the Rev. George Widerin, dean of the North Vernon district, who died at North Vernon Feb. 3, 1920. born in 1847 and ordained May 28. 1875; the Rev. Eernard H. Brueggeman, born in Germany in 1840, ordained Sept. 6, 1874. He was long pastor at Dover Indiana, in Dearborn county, where he died May 2, 1923. B B B AFTER, the war, the reconstruction period saw further progress and growth of the diocese. In 1877, Bishop St. Palais had ruled twenty-eight years. His diocese had grown to 90,000 souls with 151 churches and 117 priests. Besides the orders of priests and nuns already mentioned, others had been established as follows: The Order of Minor Conventuals and Brothers of the Sacred Heart at Terre Haute, the Sisters of St. Francis at. Oldenburg. the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent De Paul, the Sisters of the Good Shepherd and the Little Sisters of the Poor at Indianapolis. On June 28. 1877, Bishop St. Palais while attending commenment exercises at St. Mary-of-the-Woods, suffered a stroke of paralysis at 5 a. m. and died in the afternoon at 4. He was buried in Vincennes with solemn obsequies and with several bishops and over one hundred priests in attendance. Archbishop Purcell of Cincinnati was celebrant of the mass and the funeral oration was given by Bishop Dwenger of Ft. Wayne, who lauded the great achievements and the noble virtues of the dead prelate. He was buried in the old Cathedral at Vincennes. (Copyright. 1934. bv The Times and Humbert P. Pagani.)

—Conservation — SINUS TROUBLE CONTRACTED IN DIRTY STREAMS Swimming in Contaminated Water Opens Way for Infection. BY WILLIAM F. COLLINS Times Special Writer “Yes, you are living in the sinus belt, Mr. Collins. Sooner or later | when you have lived here long i enough, you will have an infected sinus.” The doctor who was issuing this : ultimatum sat before me on a low | stool peering through a tiny hole in a round mirror strapped to his forehead. “That is why there are more nose and throat men here than in any other section of the country,” he continued in a low voice, “There now, lean forward just a trifle, please, now’ relax your jaw muscles.” From a nearby stand he produced a tiny expanding funnel and a long, rather murderous looking steel wire. This was my first experience with a sinus. You no doubt remember, if you read The Times last summer. I had predicted just such an event as this. I had gone swimming with my oldest daughter in Lake Freeman, about a mile below' Monticello, near the spot where the municipal sewer discharges into the lake. Three days later both of us contracted a very severe septic sore throat. Later, one of the doctors in a Lafayette hospital told me of cases of septic sore throat developing among the youngsters w’ho swam in the Wabash river and warned me that 80 per cent of his cases reap- ! peared during the winter months with a sinus or mastoid trouble and occasionally with pneumonia. Kept in Bed Six Weeks Whatever “bug” I inhaled evidently dug in and waited for the w'inter months to finish the job. In January he called out the first squad and gave me a battle that nearly cost me my life. Lying in bed those interminable six w'eeks, I recalled my friend who died as a result of swimming in White river north of Indianapolis. No comforting thought, you may be assured. Modern medicine pulled me through, I took enough heavy metal, gluteal muscle “shots” to plate an automobile. So, I w'as living in the sinus belt. I have also lived in the malarial belt and in the yellow' fever belt and in the beri-beri belt and in later years, doctors discovered the bug or condition responsible. By eliminating the mosquito, the malarial and the yellow' fever belt vanished. By eliminating a corn meal diet, pellagra passed out, the robust trypanosome carried by the tsetse fly in Africa made the sleeping sickness belt and I have my pet theory about this so-called .sinus belt. By eliminating polluted w'ater w'e will have an end to the sinus belt. Millions Suffer Squeezed between the knees of the doctor, my nose expanded by the little funnel, I w'as getting my first dose of something that about 3.000,000 brother and sister Hoosiers already have got. Somewhere, w'ithin the depths of my cranium the exploratory wire had found the sore spot, the winter habitation of that little guy I picked up in Lake Freeman. I’ll not go farther into the details. You will discover them all for yourself at some later date—all you have to do is swim once too often in. one of our Indiana streams or lakes. When you do find out for yourself, try to remember just w'hat water you frequented the summer before and then go back to it and discover for yourself w'here the sewer came in. Remember, there are 570 miles of grossly polluted rivers in Indiana in any mile of w'hich it is possible to pick up an infection that may cost you your life. But don’t takmy word for it—the best way to find out the truth of a theory is to make your own experiments. Sugar Creek Polluted One of the most dangerous streams in Indiana is Sugar creek below' Craw'fordsville. This is the stream that runs through Turkey Run park. This w'ater looks clean, it runs over gravel banks, there are. a fewfish in it, it is cool and inviting and passes through a beautiful section. But the analysis of its water made last summer discloses 120.000,000 colon bacillus per cubic centimetre, j the same number of human intestinal bacteria in a water drop the size of a lead pencil eraser as there are persons in the United States. Os the more than 80.000 persons who read this issue of The Times about five persons will remember what I have just said and out of those five there will not be one, or a bare possibility there will be just one, to raise his voice against the pollution of Indiana streams by public filth.

—Sunday Sermon — RICHES REMAIN AS BARRIER TO REALM OF GOD Situation Unchanged Since Young Man Turned From Jesus. Text: Matt., 19:1-30. B B B BY \VM. E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of Advance The story of the rich young man who came to Jesus seeking the wav of eternal life has made a profound impression upon human interest, though it does not seem to have had an equal effect upon spir- [ itual attitudes and decisions of the will. Wealth, though it need not necessarily be a barrier between man and God, and though it may in fact be made a means of grace and blessing, I still constitutes a barrier that keeps ; men from the kingdom of heaven j and from appropriating the reality | of eternal life. It is as true today as it was in I the days when Jesus was on earth that where man's treasure is, there ’ will his heart be also. The kingdom of heaven must be the first and supreme thing in a man's life or it cannot be there at all. The failure to grasp this keeps men from entering the kingdom just as it kept this young man who came to Jesus. One should not in any way misunderstand the dramatic aspects of | the narrative. This young man was not a mean or selfish person. There is no indication that he was ! in any sense a money grabber, or | that he was unduly attached to I his wealth. He had great possessions and he no doubt had grown up in the psychology that these great possessions induced. He turned away sorrowfully when Jesus invited him to find the kingdom by leaving his great wealth, but the probability is that he was puzzled rather than confirmed in a wrong decision. The power of his death and his environment had taken from him the capacity for clear thinking and clear seeing. We should, no doubt, today in our modern world set such a man as an ideal for youth. Yet here is the clear record that there was one thing lacking, the most essential thing of all, the thing that would have linked him to the Master and that would have given him his place in the kingdom. There is a tradition that the young man did ultimately come to Jesus or gave himself to the kingdom, as he was not willing to do at this time. Tradition has associated this young man with Joseph of Arimathea, who asked for the body of Jesus, that he might bury it; but all this is tradition. We do not know what was the young man’s future, whether his rejection of Jesus and his departure in sorrow marked a final decision in his life, or whether he came later to some finer commitment. One thing is certain, that if he went away sorrowful, there was thereafter no real peace in his life. He had missed that glorious satisfaction that again and again has come to men and women who have joyfully accepted Christ’s invitation, though it has meant, apparently, the sacrifice of everything—even life itself. They discover the truth of Jesus, that he that loseth his life shall find it. a two weeks’ revival will open with the Rev. L. E. Crowe of Payne, 0., speaking. Broadway M. E. —The Rev. Richard M.
