Retreat for Servants Successful
The Retreat for domestic servants,
conducted at the Spanish Convent,
London, by Father George Pollen, S.
j., was a gratifying success. There
were sixty-five retreatants, drawn from
all grades of service. The community
had not anticipated so many appli-
cants, and they were compelled to
arrange for some to return home each
evening of the Retreat. Such sue
cessful beginning augurs well for flu
ture Retreats on a similar basis.

Peace, City Councillor, Parliamentary
candidate, and amateur actor, Mr..
James Sexton, the general secretary
of the National Union of Dock Labor
ers, has written a drama, "The Riot
Act" recently played before crowded
houses in Liverpool
The play is based on the Liverpool
labor troubles of 1911. Back Of the
rich humor and the stirring tragedy
there is the deep, wholesome pointed
moral-that if labor is to have it's
rights it must be guided by justice;
that it must be as cohesive and as
| well-prepared as capital; and that
there is no despotism more dangerous
to itself and to society than the des-
potism of an unintelligent and undis-
ciplined democracy.
To Guard Young CathoIics.-To pre-
vent leakage from the Church among
the young of England, national care
society has been organized at Preston
in the diocese of Liverpool. One of
the originators of the movement is
Alderman Myerscough, and Arch
bishop Whiteside has promised him
that if the new form of organization
is successful in Preston he will bring
it before the hierarchy of England

scheme. The organizers would have
branch of the society in each parish
consisting of committee-or two
committees, one of women and another
of men-which would preserve the
record of boys after they leave the
Catholic school, particularly in regard
to their faithful practice Of religion.
