HAVE GREAT esteem
FOR PRIESTS ROOSEVELT
Ex-PRESiDENT PRAISES cATHo-
LIC PRIESTS.

II was during Colonel ROosevelt's
February trip to the West Indies that
he landed one Sunday morning at
POinta-Pitre, and surprised some of
free-thinking officials by accompany.
ing Mrs. Roosevelt to the principal
Catholic church of the town, where
they spent several minutes in silent
prayer
They were met at the door by the
Archpriest Levasseur, who hailed the
eX-president as n true friend of France.
Mr.. Roosevelt replied that he was
very happy to visit the church and
that he had great esteem for Catholic
priests, which has become greater
since he had witnessed their heroic
bravery in battle and in caring for the
wounded. The religious of France
have given one of the great lessons of
the age. 1t is a great thing for de-
m0cracy to see that the priests of
France are patriots as well as Chris
tians.

BIeoTs DENOUNCED
BY ST. LOUIS JuRIsT

An attempt of the St. Louis Board
of Education to discriminate against
Catholic schools was recently over
ruled by Judge Hennings of the Cir
cult Court. The Board had refused
to admit a graduate of a Catholic
high school to the Harris Teachers
College. training school for public
school teachers. on the same favor
able terms granted to public school
graduates.
The demurrer of the Board of Edu-
cation was founded upon the claim
that the Harris Teachers College was
not part of the public school system.
Though the Board actually conducts
the school, it is not directed by law
to do SO.
The judges decision reads:
can advanced school, maintained by
taxes for school purposes, can no more
be conducted for some to the exclusion
of others with equal qualification than
can any other school. To do so would
be contrary to natural right and the
manifest purpose If those paying taxes

all through the awful week of blood,
while 10000 British regulars were

LIGHTNING STRIKES CHURCH
DURING cONDUcTION OF
DEDICATION SERVICES.

In the middle of a severe electrical
storm which swept over Troy, N. Y,
on Sunday, June 18, lightning struck
the St. Leo Catholic Chapel while
hundreds of parishoners were in the
midst of the dedication services.
Bishop Cusack of Albany occupied the
pulpit at the time. The lightning
struck the roof over the new organ
and the flames played about the caves
and the roof. A panic was averted
by the presence of mind of the organ
list, who played sacred hymns which
calmed the congregation even when
the plaster falling from the ceiling of
the chapel added to the scare. The
interrupted sermon was afterward re.
sumed and conducted without further
incident. The building was but
slightly damaged.

The above words are from Cardinal

of Is centuries of Irish bishops. Thus
the Cardinal and Bishops McKenna,
McHugh, McRory and Mulhern of Ul-

Redmond, Sir Edward Carson and
Lloyd George to establish state with
in Ireland along religious lines. The
Protestant Bishops have also pro-
tested against "a policy of dismem-
berment.' They predict civil and re-
ligious war in the counties affected.
The Bishops announce that the divi-
sion of Ireland is voluntary surren-
der of the National ideal, and that
such division will lead to religious
fueds after the war. Bishop McHugh
says that the bill introduced is in

After. War.
Problem Of Fut' cIIh : # Priests
Grows kt3k, <xLSk

Writing of the effect of T. .:Wt4 ett
the seminaries in Rome, the CT.
spondent of the Tablet says:
There are no Austrian or German
students left in Rome, hardly any Bel
gians, the French are about third of
their usual strength; the Italian COL
leges, too, have been largely depleted
by calls to the army; no students ar
rived at the North American College
either last year or the year before on
account of the uncertainties of the
European situation; the various ORR
entail colleges have also been greatly
affected by the war, and the only col
leges that have been almost uinflu-
enced are the South American, Span
ish, Irish and Beda. The Roman novi-
tiates of the religious orders and con-
gregations have of course suffered in
proportion; and it is perhaps no exag-
geration to say that the classes of the
Gregorian Propaganda, Angelica, Bib
lical Institute, Roman Seminary, have
lost at least half of their alumni. 1t
is to be feared that when the classes
are resumed next November the dimi-
mutton will be still more marked if the
war continues. And what is happen
ing in Rome in such striking way is
also i'll all the belligerent
countries OF Europe, so the problem
of future dearth of priests, at least
for some years, begins to grow men

much reason to believe that many of

The Home Rule plan for Ireland (26
counties) having received the imprima-
teur of the British Cabinet, we may ex-
pect to see its early operation. The
compromise measure was born in the
blood of the young journalists, poets,
labor leaders and professors who gave
their lives as a supreme sacrifice for
the cause of freedom. The tragedies
of the revolution, in single week, ac-
complished more for ireland than all
the politicians of all Irish parties par
ties have done for seventy weeks. The
British Cabinet, realizing that the
Irish executions had practically de-
stroyed American sympathy for Eng
land, as the alleged defender of small
nations, discovered there was an
aroused America to reckon with, as
we'll as a revolutionary party at the
door of her empire The compromise
bill will undoubtedly bring consider
able local benefits to the 26 counties
affected, but the measure is purely
local and if offered Americans as a
charter of liberty" would be scorned.
Ninety per cent of all those in Amer
lea, who are Nationalists, will take no
stock in the compromise plan as pro-
viding genuine autonomy for the Irish
nation. The Belfast conference con.
sisted of government officials and the
delegates from the Ancient Order of
Hibernians which, in England, is
purely secret political organization
which machinery naanlpu1ates the
concentrates while the National Di-
rectory is a self perpetuating body. In
spite of the hand-picked delegates, 40
per cent of the convention voted
against the plan. The leaders aban-
doned the plan of a National Conven-
tion to be held in Dublin, fearing

fifteen hundred years to Cardinal

fifty years to come under English rule
than to accept this plan"
Americans must understand that
Ireland is to have no such free gov
ernment as has been granted Canada,
Australia or the Beers, whose ties are

SLAMS TO DIscREDlT CHURCH
IN GALlciA.
Archbishop Of Lembers, Made Prison.
er of War, ExiIed to Interior
Of Russia.

Three weeks ago. says the Catholic
News of New York, we published a
European news dispatch to the effect
that Count Andrew Szeptycki, Greek
Catholic archbishop and METROPOLITAN
of Lemberg, Galicia, was made a pris.
oner of war by t;le Russians and had
been carried off to the interior of Rus
sia. In connection with this outrage
ii may be of interest to know that in
a recent issue of the "Utro Russi," a
Petrograd daily, the following item ap-
peared:
Petro1rad Item.
The Holy Synod is in receipt of a
telegram announcing the arrival at
Lemberg of thea orthodox Archbishop
Eulogius, who is to deliver a memo
rial sermon in one Of the Greek Cath
olic churches. High mass is to be
celebrated by him there on September
81. The orthodox rite has been de-
clared the dominating religion in Ga
licia. The holy synod sent it's bless
ing to such Greek Catholics as are
prepared to embrace the orthodox
faith"
Archbishop Eulogius, referred to in
the above telegraphc message, is the
of the Russian state
church. which took part in the plot to
seize Galicia.
"The Nova Reforma," prominent
Cracevian paper, in commenting upon
this message, says: ....
.. Arrest Metropolitan.
THE metropolitan, Count szeptycki,
was made prisoner of war and re-
moved from 4tks hity of Lemberg with
the obvious objeJt'to prevent him from
protesting against dissolution of the
union between the Greek Catholic
church and Rome. 1t is of interest
that Archbishop Eulogius deemed it
proper to celebrate mass in the Greek
Catholic church, although the city of
Lemberg harbors newly erected and
spacious orthodox church. BY so do
ing the archbishop desired to make it
clear to all that the Russian govern
ment decided to change the Greek
Catholic into an orthodox church. To
this unheard of suppression of its con
science and religious sentiments of
Greek Catholic the attention of the
whole civilized world should be drawn.
Solemn Protest.
The justification of the Greek Catho.
lie rite is based upon its union with
the vatican. Not only Ruthenians but
many Poles are members of this
church. The purpose of official Rus
sia in destroying this union and in de-
claring the orthodox church as the
dominant religion in Galicia is to
strengthen the political foundation laid
by Russian Vaccinations before the
outbreak of the war, and thus to con
tinue their runous influence even in
case Russia should be forced to evac.
uate or give up Galicia."
In conclusion it may not be out OF
place to ad that the recognized lead
ers OF the Ruthenians in the Austrian
parliament, DR., Lewicki, Professor Ro.
manczuk and Dr. Olesnycki. have also
solemnly protested against this infa-
nous crime committed by Russia upon
the most sacred ideals and sentiments
of the Ruthcnan people.
