OFFICIAL YEAR BOOK
THE "ANNUARIO PONTIFICIo"
CONTAINS VALUABLE DATA
ABOUT THE CHURCH PROG
RESS DURING THE YEAR.

Early in the month His Eminence
Cardinal Merry del Val presented to
the Holy Father the first copy of the
"Annuario Pontificio'' for 1914. The
official Vatican publication contains
this year many new and important
features which will be cordially well
coined. First, the index of names
has been compiled with such care that
it is now possible to find the position
of anyone of Importance in Rome. In
the hierarchy of the Church reference
is made easier by the addition of the
ordinary as well as the Latin names
of the dioceses and another new feat
ure is the geographical index of the
sees. Notices are given this year of
important and interesting Offices in
the Vatican which have not appeared
before, such as the Observatory, the
Museum and Galleries, and the Vati-
can printing Office. But the innova-
tion which will be most welcomed is
the final summary of how the Church
stands and how it progresses-a prog
ress which is otherwise so difficult to
realize. During the present pontifi-
cate there have been established Is

HO ME- RULE BILL
Mr.. REDMOND DECLARES 1T WILL
SOON BE THE LAW OF
THE LAND.

Every sane man knows that, barring
accidents, the Home Rule bill will be
the law of the land this year," said
John E. Redmond, leader of the Irish
Nationalists, speaking before an i'm.
mense gathering at Waterford, Ire
land, on January 25.
''If any change is made in the Home
Rule bill," continued Mr.. Redmond, "it
will only be to buy the good will of
our opponents. But say frankly that
see no prospects of their good will
being purchased at any price what.
ever. That good will is worth pur.
chasing at big price, but any change
in the bill should be consistent with
the unity of Ireland. There are no
lengths short of abandonment of the
principles you and hold to which
would not go to win the confidence OF
the men of Ulster"
Referring to William O'Brien's res
ignation from his seat in Cork, Mr.
Redmond asked his supporters to re-
frain from contesting the seat, declar.
ing that fight between two professed
Nationalists at the present moment
would be a scandal and an injury to
the cause.

A B OY He R D
MARTIN RYAN OF MINNEAPOLIS
PRESENTED WITH A GOLD
WATCH FOR BRAVERY IN saw
ING A LITTLE GIRLS LIFE
PRESENTATION MADE BY FA-
THEIR KENNY.

Martin Ryan, aged thirteen, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. David Ryan, 1112 Thir-
teenth Avenue Northeast, Minneapolis,
was presented with a gold watch on
January Fl in presence of his class
mates at st. Anthony OF Padua School.
The presentation was made by the
Reverend Patrick Kenny, pastor of St.
Anthony parish, on behalf of young
Martins friends who took this means
of recognizing in substantial way his
bravery in rescuing a six-year-old girl,
Cora Mitchell, from drowning in the
Mississippi River while fifteen men
stood by inactive.
In making the presentation Father
Kenny said that Martins act did more
to give the boys of Northeast Mime
apolis high ideals of conduct than
would dozens of sermons. He praised
the manly qualities of the boy whose
brave act had been the theme of every
tongue in the neighborhood in which
he lives.
Young Martin, who modestly dis
claims all right to be called hero, is
in the sixth grade of the parochial
school and is a great favorite with his
classmates and teachers. Previous to
the presentation speech by Father
Kenny, Martins classmates, led by
their teacher, Sister Sybilla, gave a
program of talks and recitations ap-
propriate to the occasion. In response
to the address of Father Kenny, Martin
made his first speech in public thank.
ing his friends for their gift as well
for the sentiments which accompanied
it and telling them that some day he
expected to be a great man.
Why not present Martin Ryan's case
to the Carnegie Hero Commission
Surely he is entitled to a medal fol
bravery.
