that at least two new dioceses are
to be created in western Germany;
one by cutting off Aix-la-Chapelle|
from Cologne, and the other by divid-
ing Freiburg im-Brisgau, and restor-
ing the venerable Archdiocese of May

the rank of a diocese in 1901. Among

pele that Charlemagne built his first
Cathedral and is entombed in it.
New Italian Catholic Daily.-A new
Catholic daily, L'Italia, was started
lately at Milan, Italy, but its birth
was simultaneous with the death of
the Catholic Unione. 1t is published
by and is the property of the Societa

the Corriere d. Italia and the Avenire
d. Italia and which is credited with
the intention of assuming control also
of the MOmentO of Turin.

Eucharistc Congress of 1914.-The
suggestion made by the Irish Mes
senger of the Sacred Heart" that the

nowhere would such an. event be well
coined with more loving and enthu'
| siastic devotion than in Ireland, and

on the eve of a new and happier epoch

special reasons why such a great
Catholic demonstration is desirable
