1lLLAeE CROPS IN IRELAND.
The Departments Figures.

T. w. Russell, in reply to Mr.. Gin
nell in the House Of Commons, said
that the department was not in posi-
tion to state the total area under
tillage in Ireland this year, as the
compilation of the annual returns has
not yet been completed. The follow
ing preliminary statement giving the
information for certain crops is all that
the department has been able, so far
to prepare:
Acreage on June I.
1914-Wheat, 36,913 acres; oats
1,O2s,75S; barley, 1929; potatoes

Mr.. Russell added that the agricul.
tural statistical returns furnished the
department do not specifically show
whether the crops have been cult.
waited by machine or by manual labor.
With regard to the obstacles to an
increase in tillage it would appear that
many farmers prefer to continue the
raising and feeding of live stock. The
Irish Committee on Food Production
are at present engaged in considering
the numerous factors affecting the
maintenance and possible extension of
the present production of food in this
country, and it is hoped that they will
present report at the earliest posi-.

THE PAULINE PRIVILEGE.

Sometimes the faithful and those
outside the church are puzzled when
they see two persons, who have been
living together in the relation of hus-
band and wife, permitted by ecclesias.
tlcal authority not only to separate,
but even to remarry. There is really
no cause for mystification. Usually
the Church does nothing more won.
derful than to pronounce judicially
on a matter of fact.
What ordinarily happens in perplex-
Ing marriage cases is this: the valid
ity of marriage is called into ques-
ton; testimony for and against it is
laid before the Church; witnesses are
examined; evidence is sifted; and the
conclusion is reached that at the time
of the marriage some impeachment
acted as a bar to the validity of the
matrimonial contract. Then the
Church declares that what seemed to
be marriage was in reality no mar
riage at all. Clearly in so doing she
is not granting divorce.
Divorce means the severance of the
marriage bond, which is quite a differ.
ent thing from declaring that the
bond, Notwithstanding appearances,
never existed. Divorce in the case of
a valid, contaminated Christian mar
rage, the Church can not grant.
The most she can do in such case,
and only the gravest reasons will
move her so to act, is to give permits
sion for husband and wife to live
apart, and, if necessary, to secure be-
fore the courts legal separation; but
in neither instance has she any
thought of dissolving the bond of a
consummated Christian marriage.
This she knows must endure until
death.-Rev. J. Harding Fisher, S. j.,

This year will mark the 35Oth ami

Catholic church in Florida by the
Spaniards in what is now the city of
st. Augustine. The parish of st. Au-
gustine, by far the oldest in the land,
has had many vicissitudes in conse.

The first colonists came from Spain
in 1865, more than half century be.

The church at st. Augustine was fully

NAPOLEON'S MILAN
 DEGREE RECALLED
 BY REGENT EVENTS

In the present controversy over the freedom of the seas. brought about by Germany's attempted submarine blockade of the British isles and the retahatory measures adopted by Great Britain, history is repeating itself. To day is the 10Sth anniversary of. Napo- Icons famous Milan decree, by which he sought to cut off all commerce with England. The Milan decree was a reah1rmation and extension. of the scope of Napo1eons earlier Berlin de- cree, by which the British isles were declared to be in state of blockade. All intercourse with England was pro- laibited by the Emperor. British ner-. Hchandise of whatever kind and wher- ever found, was to be confscated.
 The British reply to this threat was an "Order in >Counci1'' by which a {bIockade was declared of all the ports of Europe from which British shipping and merchandise were ex- cIuded. British war vessels were or dered to board and search all ships supposed to be. destined for any of the ports closed by the blockade.
 Napoleon'ss Milan decree declared that any ship that touched at an Eng fish port or yielded to the British de- nands thereby lost the protection of her neutral flag, and should be seized as a. prize.
 
 aroused consternation in the United States. and on the very day that Na- poleon issued his Milan decree, Presi- dent. Jefferson sent message to Con gress asking for the adoption of a gem eraI embargo of all American trade with Europe. ''The whole world is laid under interdict by Great Britain and France wrote Jefferson, "and our vessels, their cargoes and their crews are, to be taken by one or by the other, no matter to what place they may be destined out of our own limits. If therefore on leaving our harbors we are certainly to lose them, is it not better as to vessels, cargoes and seamen to keep them at home ?s' A few days later an embargo act was passed by Congress and signed by the President with disastrous effects on American commerce. The act was of little avail, and after fourteen months | it was repealed.

Dick Burge a Soldier.


 Private Richard Burge. of the First Surrey Rifles, will pass the halfcen- tury mark on Sunday, as he was born Dec. 19. 1885, but he is said to be as active and physically trim as in the old days when he was the lightweight champion of England. Dick Burge was a name well known to the fight fans on both sides of the Atlantic 20 years or so ago, chiefly because of his remarkabIe battle with Kid Lavigne for the lightweight championship of the world. Dick was several inches taller than the Saginaw, Kid, and had considerable Advantage in weight but much to his surprise and that of the English fans he was knocked out in the seventeenth round. He gave a good account of himself before he fell however, and there were times when the Kid had reason to fear that he had bitten off Tno ore than he could mas ticate in tackIing the Englishman. Burge has been a fight promoter since he quit the ring in 1900. He has lived an active. athletic, temperate life, and is in good trim to fight for his country. His enlistment as a vol unteer a few months ago caused great enthusiasm in British sporting circles
 and inspired dozens of younger boxers to follow his example, many of them joining the First Surrey Rifles.
