WAR OVER PUBLIC

Patronizing Secular Schools
and Condemn Books

PARIS, Nov. THE situations result
ing from the French Episcopates' dec
Iaration of war against the public
schools and the efforts to mobilize the
Catholic voters for the coming general
election is rapidly entering an acute
stage.
Monsignor Goly and other bishops
have publicly forbidden Catholic par
ents sending their children to public
schools if Catholic schools are avail
able, and parents everywhere are
urged to refuse to allow their children
to use the interdicted textbooks.
Considera bic Generalization of the
schools has already resulted. M. Deu-
mergue. minister of public instruction,
has ordered an investigation of the
situation, which probably will deter
mine the gov ernment's ultimate atfi-
tude.
The decision of the Teachers sssocia-
tion, comprising 100000 members, to
test in the courts the right of the
church to interfere with the public
schools will be followed by damage
suits instituted by the author of the
interdicted textbooks.

[SpecioI Dispotch 10 The Call

VICTORIA, B. c., Nov. THE last
chapter in the famous Loschiavo case
was closed yesterday, when Mrs An
tonic Loschiavo left by the steamer
Mariana for Australia with her three
children. her passage and expenses be-
ing paid by the Canadian authorities
She had surreptitiously obtained pos
session of the little tots in San Fran
cisco. whence she came by the Steamer
Queen with just 81 in her purse, in
some way eluding the ticket taker on
boarding the steamer. Her travels dur
ing the last is months, usually with
out funds but with an abundance of
faith, in following her children TO re-
gain possession of them, constitute a
romance.
When separated from Loschiavo in
Sydney. Australia, two years ago. the
high cSurt gave her the custody of the
children. She placed them in a convent,
from which Loschiavo eaticed them by
a fraudulent pretext and brought them
to Victoria He was arrested and the
government of New South Wales fought
for seven months to get the kidnaper
and children back The case was not
provided for in the extradition law,
however, and Loschiavo was freed by
the courts.
He went to Italy. The wife heard
where he was and pursued him to Sc
cure the children. She managed in some
manner to get enough money to keep
going-or did it without money.
On arriving in Italy she found Los
chiavo had gone TO San Francisco.
She followed him to that city and
for time they lived together again.
Then cruelties were resumed. Throw
ing him off the track with a bogus
farewell message. the wife boarded the
Queen with the children and the rest
of her journey home to Australia was
made easy by the Canadian authorities.
