IN FRANCE
Father Phelan Finds Many Papers
in Paris Advocating Peace
With Church.
He Considers the French PEOPLE
the Happiest in the
World.

Father Phelan, editor of the West
ern Waterman. writing from Paris to
his paper says:
I was surprised this morning to find
ILysee Condorcet with a priest at their
head. 1t is Il government school, vet
one end of it is used for a spacious
parish church. 1t is called the Church
of ST. Louis d'Antin. 1 found many
people at prayer, and both this morn
ing and yesterday morning l gave
Holy Communion to a goodly number
of people. If there is any persecu-
ton of the Church here the priests
and people know little about it.
We are in for a noisy and dsor-
derby 14th. the natal day of the French
republic. The city is draped in the
colors of every nation under heaven
the flags Of the United States and
Russia and Belgium being the most
numerous. The city seems full of life
and the streets are full from morning
till night. The French are Il peculiar
people. We have always contendcd
that they We're the most serious
people in the world They are tho
happiest Everybody is laughing in
Paris. People who laugh must he in
nocent. We believe that the French
are a very innocent people. The city
is unsightly Just now because of the
repairs being made in all the streets
in consequence of tho inundation. 1t
is hard to realize that the street:
around the Opera We're running riv-
ers two months ago and people Wis
tied each other in boats. There is lit
tie sign Of flood in that district to-
day.
] was surprised aud delighted to
find so many of the daily papers in
Paris advocating peace with the
Church. Papers which years ago
were foremost In their advocacy of
extreme measures of repression are
now advocating a renewal of friend
~ relations with the clergy. The pres
ent prime minister has given the pa
pers the cue to his policy, and they
are trying to support him loyalty The
French press love to stand in with the
powers that be.
Paris will always be a favorite home
of the artist and art lover. There is
no city in the world where the lover
of pictures can get so much for moth
ing. In London and elsewhere. even in
galleries owned by the government.
there are petty exactons, which be-
come annoying because of their fire.
quency and unreasonableness. Hero
what the government owns belongs %
all the people. You can go through
the Museum Of the Louvre and pass
through all it's halls without having
to part with a sou. But they do know
how to pluck the stranger in other
ways.
