to the old method of holding a
public trial. Two weeks ago two
women were tried secretly and
condemned in English prisons.
The women were executed, the
trial was secret, and instead of
the names being given, numbers
were assigned and neither the
name nor the sex were published,
nothing more significant than a
few figures which stood for the
names of the women that were.

FAIRIES OF ERIN FALLEN AN.
GELS WHO REGRET SIN, LADY
GREGORY SAYS.
(From the Denver Register

(From the Denver Register.)
How the Irish explain their belief
in fairies was told to a Denver audi
ence, when Lady Gregory, the famous
Irish playwright, gave a lecture about
the folk lore of Erin in Denver re.
Gently. When the bad angels were
being banished from heaven, runs a
charming though hardly reliable old
Irish legend, the archangel Michael
prayed so fervently for some that God
decided not to hurl them into hell,
but merely to Danish them from
heaven. They now roam about Ire.
land, doing good, and hoping for final
complete forgiveness and restora.
ton of their lost glory.
Lady Gregory said that the simple
peasant folk of Ireland do not have
that fear of death which characterizes
other men. They live so simply that
they realize they will not meet with
evil after they have gone, and they
believe that the spirits are all around
them, hence there can be no real sep.
aration.

REQUEST FOR CHAPEL AP.
PROVED,

The war department has approved
the request of Chaplain Edward F.
Brophy, of the Coast Artillery Corps,
on duty at Fort Baker, California,
for erection of chapel at Fort Win
field Scott, CAL, the site to be select
ed and the style of architecture to be
approved by the coast-defense COM
mander.
Chaplain Brophy states that, if per-
mission be given, the chapel is to be
adapted to the needs of all denomina-
tions, is to be available for the use
of all chaplains that may be stationed
at the post from time to time. regard
less of their respective denomina-
tional persuasions, and that it is to be
erected without cost to the govern
ment., Private funds, amounting to
over $4,000, already have been COL
lected, and now are available for this
purpose. 1t is believed that any fur
Their necessary funds can easily be
secured. The project had the en-.
dorsement of the department COM
mander. The secretary of war au-
thorizes the construction on the con-
dition that the chapel be erected
without cost to the government, and
that, when completed, the building
will become the property of the
United States and available for the
use of all denominations.
This request was in line with the
conclusion reached by the Catholic
Chaplains at their meeting in San
Francisco in July. Since it has be-
come almost impossible to get per-
mission to erect Catholic Chapels, It
was decided best to obtain permis-
sion to erect a chapel, to be used by
the Catholic priest, if there happened
to be one stationed at the post, by
the other chaplains, if no one else is
at hand.
1t will be remembered that Father
Brophy tried in vain for three years
to obtain permission to erect a Cath
Ole Chapel on the grounds of Fort
Mckinley, Philippine Islands, and
that a recent request from His Emf
nence, Cardinal Farley, to erect a
Catholic Chapel at Governors Island.
New York, was disapproved by the
War Department.

DISSATISFACTION OF
FRANCE.

The French government has re-
fused to send a diplomatic repre-
sentative to the Holy See. Holland
has sent representative since the
war opened and so has England,
though there was string attached
to his mission. 1t was announced
that an unofficial representative of
the Turkish government had been
sent to the Vatican. More recently
correspondence passed between the
Vatican and the Japanese govern
ment. Germany has a representa-
tive and so has Austria. In fact,
France is the only country of west
ern Europe not represented at the
Vatican. In the days when we loved
to think of France as the great
Catholic country of Europe, we
thought of France as defender of
the Faith; as an example of how
France has turned from her ancient
faith, she has throughout her con-
flict with the central powers of Eu-
rope remained steadfast in her re-
fusal to have intercourse with the
Holy See. Her irreligious if not
ridiculous government has so en-
barrassed Catholic high army Of
ficials that General Humbel, an of
ficer of the French army, suggested
that Catholics should take the mat
ter i'll their own hands and send an
official representative of French
Catholics to the Vatican, entrusting
the mission to the ablest represen-
tative which Catholics in France
would be able to secure. The sug-
gestion made is that the repre-
sentative be layman, delegated by
the hierarchy of the church of
France. The Catholic press of
France is not in accord with the
idea, pointing out that the nation
should have an official representa-
tive. This they have been unable
to secure from the government be-
cause of the hostility of France to-
ward the Holy See. This state of
affairs exists in spite of the assur-
ance that the self-appointed COM
mittee of London Irishmen gave to
the French minister Viviani, when
they made themselves ridiculous in
the eyes of the world, by trying to
make atheism in France one and the
same with Catholic Ireland in de-
claring to the man who declared
that he chad put out the lights of
heaven" when he put religion out
of the schools.
The committee of London Irish
men(?) pledged the French min
lister its support-the support of
Catholic Ireland. They pledged a
support they did not have to a coun-
try whose treatment of Catholic
priests and nuns has been shame
full blot on its history.

WHY EXCUSE ENGLAND

The president of the United
States has been given something
very serious to think about in the
last few weeks, other than coin
ing apt phrases in connection
with his anti-hyphenated propa-
ganda. There is no question but
that the vengeance displayed has
caused bias of opinion to exist
among the foreign-born element
OF the population, that would not
have been awakened if an attempt
had not been made to drive them
into corner. AS an expression
of this feeling, a large portion of
public opinion has turned against
the Chief Magistrate in demand
ing that he exert himself more
vigorously in dealing with British
piracy. But few days ago Eng
land seized two ships flying the
American flag and sailing under
American registry. Prize crews
were put on board and the ships
were taken to British port.
There is nothing new or start
ling about this act on the part of
England. 1t is in strict accord
to the general policy toward
American shipping interests. Not
only is it in line with the history
of England's attitude toward
American commerce, but it is also
in accord with the sort of neutrali-
ty which the National Executive
has exhibited. The American flag
has been insulted and the rights
of Americans have been trampled
upon. The honor of a country is

THE CAMPAIGN IN THE
DARDANELLES.


Pressed for information on the
matter, the British government
has admitted that 10000 men
have been lost in the Gallipoli
campaign. 1t is announced that
$1,000 survive. That this small
number survive out of more than
100000 men engaged means that
the transports carrying the men
were destroyed by the Turks and
the Germans. The Mistress of
the Sea is far from being supreme
upon the waves. Only Anglo
Americans credit her with this
