place part of their time at the dis
posaI of the Vicariate to send their
names to it's offices. There are always
large numbers of priests in Rome who
belong to the various universities and
colleges, or who are engaged in his
torical, literary, or legal work. In
addition to this many priests are en-
ployed in the offices of the fifteen or
eighteen great institutions through
which the Pope conducts the affairs
of the Church, viz, the Sacred Roman
Congregations and Tribunals.
The Foreign CoIleges.-Owing to
the closing of the Gregorian Univer-
sity, Rome, it is expected that the
stats of several of the foreign col
leges will repair to their summer
villas about five or six weeks before
the usual time. The Propaganda is
still open and will probably remain
so until the middle of July, when it
ordinarily breaks up for the holidays.
This institution has suffered no loss
in the attendance of students belong
ing to the foreign colleges except in
the case of the Bohemian College,
whereas the Gregorian has lost the
French and Austro Hungarian Col
1eges, which meant some $50 less on
it's rolls. Rev. Louis Rivet, Professor
of Canon Law, who repaired to the
French army with the rank of cap
tain, has been killed in battle.
Great Work of Rev. Lopes.-The
Rev. John Ludlow Lopes, formerly
clergyman of the Church of England,
who has been received into the Cath
Ollie Church by the Archbishop of
Birmingham in the private chapel at
the Oratory, Edgbaston, secured the
degree of B. A. (2nd CT. Sacrist
Theology at Exeter College, Oxford,
in 1905, and his M. A. in 1908. He at
tended st. Stephens House, Oxford,
and Ely Theological College. He held
Anglican curacies at Saltley, from
1906 to 1909; and at st. Basils, Deri-
tend, from 1909 to 1912; and was
curate-in-charge at st. Francis, Salt
ley, from 1912 to 1914. Out of his in
come he founded ST. Edmund's Hos
tel, Deritend; a home, situated next
to his own house at 178 High Street,
Deritend, for orphans and the sons of
working people with undesirable
home surroundings.

Austrian and German representatives
to the Holy See have taken up their
residence temporarily in Lugano

Tribute to soldie~ Priests.-A
tribute to the soldier priests of France
is paid in pamphlet just issued by
the Countess de Courson. The mum
Der of priests in the French army
exceeds 10000 and many are drawn
from different orders, Jesuits, Carthus
ians, Dominicans, Salesians, Norbert
ines and Benedictines. Men who hole
high Office in the Church and are fire
quently privates in the army, ant
often their interiors in the priesthood
are their superiors under militar!
discipline. The younger men serv'
: in the first line, the older men ar
employed as stretcher bearers ant
