BROOKLYN X. CTS CONDEMN
mitchell.

The following resolution was Of
fered and passed at the meeting of
Castilian Council, No. 1854, knights of
Columbus, Brooklyn, N. Y, last
Thursday evening:
1T having appeared in the public
press that the Mayor of the City of
New York, John P. Mitchell, has as.
sailed the character of one of our
members, Very Rev. Mons. John j.
Dunn, the first chaplain of this coun-
Gil, and has publicly accused him of
crimes which, according to some of
our most distinguished jurists, cannot
be substantiated nor accepted as evil
dence In court of law, be it resolved
THAT we resent this action on the
part of our Chief Magistrate and, be-
lieve that his public statements were
born in malice and uttered in despera-
tion, that he has attempted to be-
smirch the reputation of the living
and the memory of the dead, and that
his Incorporate action in this matter
Is holding up to ridicule the greatest
municipality in the world; therefore
be it resolved
"That we, the members of Castilian
Council, No. 1874, knights of Colum-
bus, hereby place ourselves upon rec
ord as condemning in the most severe
terms the statements made by the
Mayor of the City of New York as
unjust and untruthful and utterly un-
worthy of one in whose hands has
been placed the honor of this great
city, and be it further resolved
"That the members of Castilian
Council, 1854, as citizens of the City
of New York, offer to Very Rev. Mons.
John ]. Dunn and to all others whose
regulations have been similarly as
sailed, the assurances of our fndivid-
ual support to the end that Justice
may triumph and that intrigue and
secret policies may be uncovered and
condemned; and that we forward to
the Very Rev. Mons. Dunn copy of
this resolution that it may, at least
in part, be mitigation of the odium
that has been thrust upon him; and
that a copy be forwarded to the New
York Chapter"

THE IMMORTAL DEAD.

1t is a truism that talent-that
genus, even-avail poet little
until death crowns" his work.
Joseph Plunkett and Thomas
MacDonagh had talent which
makes us ashamed to our hearts
that we could suffer their souls
to be driven from the world in
which we had so failed, until their
going, to pay them due honour
a world which SO sadly needs
them. Yet a mani who has once
lived in poetry can never go utter
ly. Let anyone who wishes to
pay honour to these extravagant
heroes, to understand these elect
spirits, to meet these great requit-
ed lovers, read "The Circle and
the Sword" of Joseph Plunkett
and Songs of Myself" by Thorn
as McDonagh. In the first are
some half-dozen poems of aston
ishing beauty, with a kind of
Francis Thompsonian fervour OF
greatness. Plunkett is like
Thompson, too, in this, that some
of his finest phrases are a procla-
nation of the Immortality of his
song.
Your praise shall 'scape the grinding
Thy songs shall live to drive their
through fiery apocalypse to Heavens
When Gods looged might the prophets
Thy songs shall see the ruin of the
Thy songs 4 s. shall sing the dirges of the
In these pages you may find, il
you will, the spiritual history OF
the rebel movement; but it is
MacDonagh who has written the
last chapter:
After barren while they died;
In death they were not parted.
NOW IN their graves perhaps they know
Why they were broken-hearted.

TO REVIVE PROSECUTIONS

1t is quite on the cards that the
end of the war may see an effort
to revive persecution against the
church in England, as we'll as in
Germany and France, says Press
dispatch. The bigots are very
busy even now. Kensit and his
press are flooding the country
with leaflets which appeal to the
ignorant, some of which can be
gagged by their titles, "rhe Pope
versus the King and THE For
eign Office under the Sway of
Rome" In this latter pamphlet
Sir Edward Grey is represented
with a shadowy Benedict XIV
looking over his shoulder, while
we are told, with bated breath,
that Sir William Tyrell, the Hon.
Eric Dummond and Mr.. Cecil
Dorner are on the staff of the
Foreign Office or act as private
secretaries to the Premier and the
Minister for Foreign Affairs. AS
all these gentlemen are Catholic
the inference is drawn that they
control their chiefs and make
them puppets of the Pope.

and affiliated organizations have
undertaken the securing of this
permission and that a bill will be
introduced into the Senate petit
tioning the granting of the re-
quest. 1t is the wish and hope of
every Catholic and also of those
who fought during that memoir
able conflict and who remember
the loving kindness of these brave
women that the bill now before
Congress will pass and that a
monument, as a small token of
veneration and esteem, will be
erected in our National Cemetery.

WITH THE FLOOD VICTIMS.

In the swamps of Louisiana, situat-
ed on the very banks of the Mississippi
and about twenty miles from its
mouth, is the little city of Buras.
Every year, when the Mississippi over
flows, this little town, as we'll as all
others along the banks of this wonder.

Not very long ago the Catholic
Church Extension Society received a
letter from the poor missionary in
charge of Buras. In his letter he
writes:
1.-THE storm which has passed over
the state of Louisiana has destroyed

POPE WANTS FAIR
AND EQUITABLE PEACE
The Vatican state chancery author
lied Camille Cianfarra, staff CORE

spondent of the International News
Service, to cable, under date of May
IL, from the city of Rome, the fol-
lowing:
Ever since his accession to the
throne the Pope has steadily devoted
his efforts to a prompt cessation. of
hostilities. Since then the Pontiff
has never missed an occasion of in
tervening in favor of an early peace.
Every movement tending to engender
peace has his most cordial support and
sympathy.
During these two years, besides
working for peace, the Pope, as head
Of the Church, has also worked to pre-
vent further complications. The holy
Father has advised, advises and will
advise an exchange of views between
the belligerent nations.
In his efforts in favor of peace the
Pontiff was actuated by the noblest
motives and the supreme interests of
H.
official documents prove that the Pope
has steadily maintained the strictest
neutrality and impartiality.
His Holiness has openly condemned
the cruel practice of war, the slaugh.
ter Of innocents, the use of asphyxiat.
ing gases, the bombardment of open
cities, the violation of neutrality of
small nations, and has raised his voice
in favor of Belgium and of Armenia.
In his letter to rulers the Pontiff
deprecated the desire of the belliger.
ent nations to exterminate each other
and counseled a friendly exchange of
views as the only means to achieve
peace.
In his allocution delivered at the
last consistory the Pontiff advocated
just and lasting peace, not favorable
to single belligerent, but to all. Moth.
ing justifies different Interpretation
Of the Pope's peace efforts.

The following letter was received at
the ne. office Of the Catholic Bulletin early
was written in the hope that, by view-
setting. readers If the Bulletin might
The Editor, Catholic Bulletin:
Permit me to take issue with you
on your conception of 1reland's posi-
tion in relation to the British Empire.
That conception, which seems to me
mistaken, colors all your recent edi-
torials on the Irish instruction.
Regarding the fear of CONSUMPTION
and of burdensome taxation after the
war, you write: "Are these public
evils then, so greatly to be feared as
to justify the abortive uprising against
lawful authority?" What, may 1 ask,
constitutes lawful authority? If 1 do
not mistake, the Declaration of Inde-
pendence lays down as fundamental
the principle that Governments de-
rive their just powers from the con-
sent of the governed" Does the Brit
ish Government actually derive its just
powers from the consent of the Irish
people? If so, why Ireland's centuries
of struggle for native Parliament?
BY assuming that the Imperial Gov
eminent as operating in Ireland is up-
held by Irish hearts and not by Eng
lish bayonets you nullify the aims of
the present Parliamentary party,
which are to restore to the nation her
lost Parliament. In fact, the only
parliament which may be said to have
been truly representative was that of
1889. Presided over by the last of the
Stuart kings, with Senate and a Low
er House, it comprised Catholics and
Protestants alike. Thomas Davis
writes: 1T contained the oldest fam
lilies of the country. The Bishops of
Meath, Cork, Ossory, Limerick, and
Waterford, and the Protestant names
OF Aungier, LIE Poer, and Forbes, sat
with the representatives of the great
Roman Catholic houses of Plunket,
Barnewell, Dillon, and Nugent." On
the other hand, even Grattan's Parlia-
ment, being strictly Protestant body,
was not fully representative. Defec-
tive in many respects, it was however
Infinitely better than that of a Union
conceived in bribery and consummat-
ed in fraud. This union, O'Connell
and others spent a long lifetime en-
deavoring to repeal; yet is it this
Union Parliament, thus conceived and
thus perpetuated, that we must per.
force regard as lawful authority"
In the light then, of 1reland's his
toric protest. how pointless is your
query: IF the British Empire has to
constrain her subjects to take up arms
In defense of national honor, why
should Ireland be treated differently
from any other Of her dependencies? ?"
In such an event, should not Ireland
bear her share of the burden as any
other part of the British Empire?" It
is for the simple reason that Ireland
has not shared the privileges as she
has had to share the burdens of such
dependencies as Canada and Austria
liza. which enjoy the measure of self
government granted them, but with
