eighteen sisters and twenty five girls, tcihs

asked to found a honse in England. 1 wish

their lives wishOut saving their things, the
town and the country are filed with spies,
who wear every kind of disguise. Two
were taken imam omnibus in the habit OF
Sisters Of charity; on being asked what
was the manic OF their Superior, they hesi-
tated, so they were seized at once. One
dressed as priest was walking along
swinging eane, which little boy noticed,
saying, !" Priests never do that" SO he
killed the child on the spot. Both the Do
minican Rev. Mother and the Superioress
of the Sisters of Charity told MS, withster-
ror in their faces, that the horrors that
have taken place in converts are far too
great to tell !; so they told us nothing. The
trains are so crowded that getting away by
themselves have to leave crowds arrive
here and mean to go on to Belgium.
Religious Provision for tie Armies.-In
the army under the Crown Prince eight out
of every ten soldiers are Catholics they
are from the Catholic parts or the Confed-
Grafton, and there are q great number in
the other two armies. Besides the ordinary
and there is.s one to each regi-
ment, the Government has accepted the
offers of service BY all the priests and
religious WHO have offered themselves
mounts them, and gives them the pay and |
rations of chaplains. There are many |
and Franciscans, and seventy |
Jesuits acting as chaplains and nurses, be-
sides some 400 Sisters of one society or an
other. The Jesuit, Prince RadzwiIl, is at
-ached to the staff of his cousin, Prince
Frederick Charles. The state of the French
soldier is very different, and yet they are
nearly all Catholics. Indifference and inf
LEFTY on the part of some, and jealousy
IN the part of persons in authority, have

and others offered to serve,
,ut the Government and others who ought
o have known better, have set obstacles
II their way. Father de Damas is the only
Jesuit, and two Dominicans are, we believe,
he only other religious that are in the
ield, though hundreds volunteered. In the
Rue de Sevres the Jesuits have prepared to
eceive twenty five soldiers in hospital, in
heir college at Vaugerard 4O0 aud in the
ollege in the Rue de Postes 800; and {

The Wounded IN Met..-A letter received
4 Rome from Metz, and quoted in the Unita
'attolica, says the Jesuit College in Metz,
'hich is magnificent institution, is turned l
ito a hospital, and 500 wounded soldiers n
nd officers are nursed and cared for by
1e sons of st. Ignatius.- Only imagine,
lere are above 10000 wounded French A
nd Prussians in the city of Metz alone aud /,
