PRELIMINARY REPORT SHOWS A
SMALL DECREASE IN THE

Catholics Number 3,23s,656; Protes-

Gently.
Ireland's population is 4,3S1,951 a
decrease of 76,S24, or IL per cent
since 1901. Nevertheless, the report
is the most satisfactory since 1841.
In the decade ending 1901 the de-
crease of population was ST. per cent.
This years report is the first con-
crete evidence that the country's de-
population is being ended by the ex-
tension of peasant proprietary rights
and by the general improvement in
social and political conditions.
For the first time since 1S41 the
province of Leinster shows an in
crease of population, ,499, or Z per
cent. Munster shows loss of 49,

Ulster loss of 1924, or per cent,

the vast sums which these men have
and profane uses have shocked even
the Parisians. When we remember
that this money is the legacy of the

A REQUEST
4 POEM BY THE LATE SIR WILL
LIAM BUTLER.
General Butler Saw Service in Many
Lands-Wrote Many Books-A
Loyal lrishman and Devoted
CathoIic-Has Relatives i'm
Minnesota.

Inc following verses from the pen
of the late Soldier-Author, General Sir
William Butler, will be read with
pleasure by those who are familiar
with his military career as we'll as
with his literary productions. He was
born in the County Tipperary, Ireland,
in 1888. Impelled, it would seem, by
a love for travel and adventure, he
entered the British army and saw
service in India, Canada, Egypt and
South Africa. His literary produc-
tions comprise "The Great Lone
Land" "The Wild North Land" Ear
Out; Rovings Re-Told," THE Light of
the West" and his Autobiography"
He was always loyal Irishman and
yielded to no one in his devotion to
and love for the Catholic Church. One
of his sons was ordained to the Holy
Priesthood in Rome since his death
which occurred during the past year
His widow, Lady Butler, is an aunt of
Walter Sweetman, of Currie, Mime
sofa, and is well known in the
world of art by her painting of the
Roll Call" Few suspected that Gen
eral Butler had the lyrical faculty of
which this poem is evidence. 1t was
published after his death; and is here
reprinted from The Catholic World.
Give me but six-feet-three lone inch
to spare)
OF Irish ground, and dig it anywhere;
And for the poor soul say an Irish
prayer
Above the spot.
Let it be hill where cloud and noun
tain meet,
Or vale where grows the tufted
meadow-sweet,
Or borreen trod by peasants shoeless
feet;
It matters not
/ loved them all-the vale, the hill,
The moaning sea, the fagger-lilied rill,
The yellow furze, the lake-snore lone
and still,
The wild birds song.
But more than hill or valley, bird or
moor,
More than the green fields of my river
SUR,
loved those hapless ones, the Irish
Poor,
All my life long.
Little did for them in outward deed,
And yet be. unto them Of praise the
need,
For the stiff fight I Waged 'gainst lust
and greed:
learnt it there.
So give me Irish grave, mid Irish air,
With Irish grass above it-anyWhere;
And let some passing peasant give a
prayer
For the soul there.
