A correspondent to the New York
Sun gives very interesting personal
account of Pope Benedict the
fifteenth. 1t declares him to be a
natural born leader. The writer de-
clares the new Pope to be a leader
of men and man thoroughly trained
in the vatican, the right hand man of
the late Cardinal Rampolla and a
firm upholder of the old etiquette like
Leo XIII. In personality the new
Pope is pleasing, is five feet eleven
inches tall, his movements are quick,
and his personality engaging. He is
a firm believer in America and Amer
lean Catholicity and is warm friend
of the United States.

twenty-five years, should be enlisted
in the ranks of the armies and their
young lives snuffed out on the field
of battle, leaving no one at home to
take their places and no guarantee
of the stability of their countries in
the years to come, gives seriousness
to the European situation with which
there is nothing to compare in the
history of destruction. These boys
would have been men of tomorrow,
they would shoulder the burden and
take the place of those who gave
their lives on the field of battle, who
would start the mill wheel, and the
factory, till the soil that is abanded
because of the attention given to the
war and in their knowledge of the
misery that is brought to the homes,
and because of their knowledge of
war and its attendant miseries they
would foster the principals and prac-
tees of peace. Thus the nations
of Europe are now feeding to Moloch
their present and even their future
verility as nations. That it should
be necessary to enlist the youth, who
know nothing of savagery and whose
young lives were spent in the ways
of peace and happy family ties and
make them the demons of war in
moments notice shows how far be-
yond the expectations of the nations
is the awful sacrifices of human
lives. That these sacrifices have
surpassed their expectations is shown
by the fact that the nations engaged
could not rely upon the number of
veteran soldiers and reservists TO
bring the war to a conclusion, but
have found it necessary to enlist
their youth and now known that the
struggle in Europe is struggle to
death, and only sheer exhaustion can
the nations engaged by expected to
cease the struggle. Truly civilization
has taken a step backward when the
youth of the land must be converted
into instruments of destruction.

SAVING THE IRISH SPEAKING
DISTRICTS

Special attention is being directed
toward saving the Irish speaking dis
tricts of Ireland The details of
working out the problem in the Irish
speaking districts is the object of
special effort on the part of the
Gaelic League. Irish speaking in
structors are sought among the vol
unteers of Courvernara and other
Irish speaking districts on the west
coast of Ireland. A systematic plan
is now being evolved for dividing up
into sections the territory in which
Irish is spoken to foster there the
speaking of the Irish language and
from these districts as center to
spread the native tongue. Another
plan which gives the movement a ma
tional aspect is the one presented to
favor the new parliament on College
Green. The election of only such
members as are capable of speaking
the Irish language and only these
candidates will receive the support
of the Gaelic League and other or
ganized societies interested in the
spread Of the native language of the
Emerald Isle. The Dublin College
of modern languages has taken an
advanced step in the methods of in
struction in the fuency and correc-
ton of speaking among students of
the Irish language. Stress is being
placed upon the systematic drilling,
on the sounds which are peculiar to
the language and mistakes in pronun-
citation. This phonetic drill will give
to the speaking of the language
something more than sophomore
smattering and bring out the exact
ness of speech which would other
wise be lost. Traditional Irish sing
ing and history is given to satisfy the
Irish love for imaginative poetry and
folk lore and thus preserve, in true
romantic style. the spirit of the Irish
language, while it gives an exactness
to the language itself. The move
ment, as taken at present, should
receive the encouragement of every
Irish man and woman in all lands
where the sons and daughters of the
Gael reside and thus preserve in
spirit as in fact the traditions and
language of the ancient Race.

SLAUGHTER OF LEPERs.

Catholic missionaries, writing from
China. declare that the old practice
of slaughtering the lepers still pre-
walls in China. Very often it hap
pens that among those who are mark
ed for slaughter are many Christians
and Catholic missionaries, who are
rounded up with the lepers, thus
giving the government an excuse for
slaughtering the christians. although
they may not be at all infected with
the terrible disease of leprosy.

SAVING IRISH MANUSCRIPTS.

When the news of the destruction
of the University of Louvain was an
nounced great anxiety was felt in the
hearts of every Irish scholar because
of the probable destruction of pre-
cious Irish manuscripts. Celtic man
uscripts had been stored for many
years in the College of Louvain and
1t was not known until some time
since that these manuscripts had
been removed, some years ago, to the
Franciscan convent at Rome and lat
er sent to Dublin and stored in the
convent of St. Isidore in Ireland's
capital city. Later a great number
of Irish manuscripts, dealing with
the lives of the saints. were removed
from Louvain. However. there were,
at the time of the destruction of
Louvain, number of precious Irish
manuscripts in the Irish College.
There are copies of these manuscripts
in some Of the noted libraries of Eu-
rope. but, in many instances copies
were very rare, If, indeed, any at all
existed. 1t is stated that some three
hundred manuscripts were in the
Irish college of Louvain, dealing with
the Medieval history Of ireland and
Irish classical literature. These, if
destroyed, would be a distinct and
irreparable loss to Celtic scholarship
1t is to be sincerely hoped that the
reports of the removal of the manu-.
scripts to Rome and to Dublin are
true. Some of the finest collections
If not the only collections of any
extent. of Irish manuscripts, are in
the libraries of Europe. It is coin.

should be deposited in the libraries
of foreign countries, where, like thei1
authors. they sought security from
eyes that looked upon Irish products
with envy and from hands thai

One of the saddest subjects con-

will be so thoroughly depleted when
the war is over is an awful contem

MILLION ON Liner
Empress of Ireland Has That
Much Silver Aboard.
Fair Chance Of Recovering Valuable
Cargo on Sunken ShIp-servIces
OF Expert Divers Are Easy
to Obtain, Says Director. u

London.-Salvage experts here
agree that there is a fair chance Of
recovering the million dollars worth
OF silver said to be aboard che sunken
Empress Of Ireland r. H Davis,
managing director of the salvage
company, called attention to the fol-
lowing successful operations of this
sort:
Four thousand one hundred and
twenty-six bars of silver of the value
Of $2.681 800, 46 boxes of gold of the
value of 100000 and nine boxes of
silver of the value Of $3.50, total
value Of 1857, 750-recovered from
the Oceana, which was wrecked In
about thirteen fathoms of water of
Eastbourne.
Four hundred and fifty thousand
gold coin-25 peseta pieces-recov-
cred from the wreck Of the Alphonso
XII, which was sunk in 81 fathoms
of water-a greater depth than that
at which the Empress Of Ireland is
lying-off Point Gando, Grand Canary.
Fifty thousand dollars worth of
silver bars-all but six that we're on
board-recovered from the Skyro,
wrecked in 32 fathoms of water off
Cape Finisterre.
In the case Of the Alphonso XII
the difficulties were very great" Mr..
Davis said, "and our diver, Alexan-
der Lambert, had to use dynamite to
remove innumerable distractions be-
fore he could get to the magazine in
which the treasure was stored
Dynamite had also to be used in
the operations for salving the silver
bars Of the Skyro and when the work
was finished the vessel was just a
heap Of scrap iron. The Empress Of
Ireland is said to be lying on her
side in II fathoms-102 feet-of wa
ter.
"At this DEPTH" Mr.. Davis said. "a
man cannot remain safely for longer
time than thirty or forty minutes.
He would have to allow himself,
moreover, about half an hour to get
on the surface. The ascent from the
depth Is painfully slow business
When man works at these SUBJ
marine depths he is subject to an alb
normal pressure which is increased
AZ pounds for every ten feet he goes
down. At work beneath fathoms of
| water his blood and tissues become
saturated with nitrogen.
For this reason he has to be most
| careful in ascending to the surface,
for otherwise a sort Of effervescence
would be set up in the blood vessels
and cause paralysis.
| There is no difficulty In getting
divers for salvage operations. Most
! Of our men are ex-British navy
divers, who are without doubt the
most scientifically trained in the
world
For his work in salving the pesetas
from the wreck of the Alphonso XII
Alexander Lambert received five pei
cent of the treasure recovered-$17,
50O-in addition to his pay of $3.50 a
month"

Every Town in Florida to Have "A
Save Baby Club" to Help the
Chldren's Home Society of
Florida Secure Funds for
Its Work

4JS w YIN.
A unique plan and one in which
every man, woman and child in
Florida can have part has been
sueg by Supt Marcus c. Fagg,
Df the Children's Home Society of
Florida, for the purpose of securing
funds to continue the great state
wide work of this organization in
behalf of the homeless, orphan, and
needy children of Florida.
The plan calls for the temporary
organization of Save Baby
Club in very city, town and ham
let in Florida, each Club to make
an effort to secure ten cents from
every man, woman and child in that
town; the Society offering beauti
full silver Loving Cup to the club
which raises the largest amount of
money in proportion to the popula-
ton of that town. Each dime will
purchase a share of stock in the
FLORIDA Save Baby Club" of
which each town will be a local
branch. Special certificates will be
issued to the purchaser of ten, fifty
and one hundred shares. 1t is not
the plan of the Home Society to ask
any money in place of money! being
contributed to some other church or
charity, but in addition to those
contributions, go that every church
md Sunday school should be inter-
hsted in the plan.
In addition to the money each
club will be asked to get up barrel
or box Of children's clothes, shoes,
stockings, staple provisions, canned
goods and preserves, and other ar
ticles that children can eat, wear or
enjoy. All of these articles are to
be shipped to the State Receiving
Home tn Jacksonville to help pro-
vide for the hundreds OF children
coming under the care of the Socie-
ty each year. Over eight hundred
have already been referred to the
Home Society this year. and more
are coming daily. so that the So
ciety must raise more funds if the
good work is to continue.
Supt. Fagg has gotten up litera-
ture which will give all the infor-
nation in regard to the organization
of club, and just what each club
is to do, and hopes to have many in
nuiries and many clubs started at
once, as he hopes to have all the
money and articles in by Christmas
time. Anyone desiring further in
