FORDHAM UNIVERSITY HOLDS
DIAMOND JUBILEE,

Nearly 10000 persons, including 49,
900 knights of Columbus from the
various New York City councils,
thronged into the campus of Fordham
University last Sunday morning to at
tend the solemn High Mass celebrated
in the open to mark the closing of the
diamond jubilee ceremonies of the uni
versity. A large choir assisted by
string orchestra of fifty pieces sang
the music of the Mass. The open air
ceremonies were in charge of San Sal
vador Council, Knights of Columbus.
and the Very Rev. James N. Connolly,
pastor of the Church of Our Lady of
Good Counsel, in East Nineteenth
street, and chaplain of San Salvador
Council, was celebrant. The Rev.
Owen Hill, S. j., of the University
faculty preached the sermon, in the
course of which he said that "Crime
is the twin daughter of disrespect.
The root of all evil is responsible for
the moral ruin witnessed on every side
of us today. Money and its resultant
evils constitute the biggest problem of
the age. Men and women are falling
from the faith of their fathers because
their heads are swollen by the prog
ress of human knowledge, and this
causes many to refrain from proper
allegiance to Gods Church.

IRELAND FACES A NEW
FAMINE AND A NEW
EXODUS.

England destroyed Ireland's
manufactures. She pleaded that
the country was naturally an agri-
cultural one. Then she destroyed
the true agriculture, saying that
Ireland was naturally a pastoral
country. In recent years she
has been attacking the cattle
trade. OF course in each attack
the real aim is the same, namely
the destruction of the prosperity
and numbers of the Irish people.
Even in the famine years, with
the population more than twice
what it is now, Ireland was ex-
porting grain. Today more than
"a per cent of the wheat con-
sumed in Ireland is imported. OF
the oats raised now only 8 per
cent is exported; of the potatoes
only 6.5 per cent. On the other
hand, there are imported $4,000
of Indian corn or meal, that is,
some 10000 tons more than OF
wheat. This is how agriculture
thrives under English rule. Man
ufactures were destroyed; agricul-
ture is practically ruined; the cat
tie trade is attacked. The pre-
parations are being made for a
new famine and new exodus.

surplus population, and every
Irishman is superAuous.-Irish

ENGLAND'S LATEST ACT.


The Catholic church in Eng

in the governments dictation that
all seminarians who are eighteen
years OF age and who have not
commenced the study of theology
are subject to military duty. The
ruling is such as to catch all as
pirants to the priesthood except
a few who are already in the last
stages OF their preparation for
Gods service. This will mean
that, if the war continues for a
protracted period, the Summaries
when those now therein are or.
dained, must close, while cventu-
ally there will come a period OF
years when there will be no one
ready for ordination. Death will
continue to take it's toll from the
ranks OF the veteran clergy, while
again, Judging from the religious
fcrvor that the war has awaken
ed, there will be cries from many
new fields for pricstly workers.
Then the gaps will go untitled,
and new missions will not be
opened for lack of those to min
lister to them. This is severe
blow to the Catholic church of

WHERE ARE THE PATRI-
OTIS?

Where are the Guardians of
Liberty and other kindred patri-
OTIS? Where are those people
who have been frantically waving
the American flag and posing as
our country's only defenders?
Where are the dark-lantern poll
ticians, who only few days ago
pussy-footed Minneapolis and
other cities, under the guise of
patriots and attempted through
their unsavory schemes to domi-
nate the last election? Where are
these bigots who violated every
principle of honesty, decency and
justice? Where are these men
who few years ago brought to
the fair state of Minnesota the
vilest of reprobates and sent them
broadcast to disseminate lies and
Misrepresentation? Have they
answered their country's call to
enlist? Do you find any of them
or their sons responding to the
appeal of the militia officers to
follow their country's flag? No!
Most emphatically no! You
couldn't find one with search
warrant. The Irish Standard re-
spects an honest, open enemy, but
no man can have anything but
contempt for the sneaking, hidden
hypocrites who are afraid of day
light, who will stab YOU i'll the
back. They talk OF patriotism
and religion, when they have as
much religion and patriotism in
them as the odoriicrous little ami
NAL whose skin is valuable, but
whose odor is obnoxious. DO YOU
find any of them working along
side of that gallant General
tom" Barry, U. S. A., or with
Colonel DAN Mccarthy, both of
them working night and day di-
recting the mobilization Of troops
in the central west? Or do you
find any of them in that gallant
Irish Sixty-ninth Infantry, sta
toned in New York City, which
was the first to respond to the
Presidents order calling the mill
tia to the colors. Every Catholic
American stands ready to follow
the flag of his country and defend
its honor. There will be no back
sliders. Though it has been point
ed out that Carranza was sacri-
legious robber, but the President,
for reasons which he has never
given to the public, recognized
him as head of the Mexican gov
eminent. War seems to be in
evitable. Every good American
regrets it, but every good Amer
lean will fight. He will fight not
to uphold or defend the Mexican
policy of Woodrow Wilson, but
to uphold and defend the honor
of the American flag, and renew
the proof that the Catholics OF
this country are all real Ameri-
cans pure and unalloyed, first, last
and all the time.

PARLIAMENT CHEERS NEWS OF
EXECUTION OF IRISH LEADERS.

We have been informed by most
reliable authority that when Asquith
announced the murder by court-martiar
of Padraic H. Pearse, Thomas J.
Clarke and Thomas MacDonagh, the
first three rebel leaders to be shot, all
the members of the Irish Parliament
tary Party who were present in the.
House of Commons stood up and:
cheered. Our informant was told this.
by Member of Parliament who was;
present at the time and who is a truth
full man. All the Irish papers, Nation
alist' and Tory alike, suppressed the
news, but all Ireland knows it Just the.
same.
We all know that the Parliamentary
Party is composed of a pack of de-
graded hirelings of England who have
long since lost whatever sense of
shame they ever possessed, but this in
fanny is almost beyond apprehension.
Ordinary common sense might have
warned them that such conduct would
seal the doom of every man of them,
but it would seem that even common
sense has deserted them. Their folly
can only be accounted for on the sup
position that the British Censor had
kept them in complete ignorance of the
real facts of the rebellion while all of
them except John Dillon were COVER
ing in London, and that they fondly
hoped that all their enemies were in
the hands of the British army and
would be either shot or detained in
England until the end of the war. In
their assumed safety they committed
political hari-kari.
The newspapers in Ireland knew bet
ter, so. for the protection of the skulk-
ing traitors lives, they suppressed the
news. Drumhead court-martial is a
game that two can play at, and the
turn of the dirty dogs who cheered the
murder of their own countrymen by
their country's enemies will surely
come. There have been many shame
full episodes in Irish history, but this
infamy of the Redmondites is the most
shameless of all.-Gaelic American.
