''FRANCE DAY"
FIXED BY GOVERNOR RRUM.
BAUGH OF PENNSYLVANIA.

Governor Brumbaugh has issued the
following request to the people of
Pennsylvania:
This country must never forget the
invaluable assistance given us in the
Revolutionary War by France. Her
greatest gift was the services of Lafay-
cite. He is as much an American
patriot as he is French patriot. His
services to this republic were of the
most heroic and valuable character.
That the services of France and par
ticularly of the great Lafayette may be
kept vividly in mind, | earnestly re-
quest that we set aside April 26, the
anniversary OF the embarkation OF
Lafayette from Bordeaux to America.
as France Day. On this day in all
schools and in all public gatherings
and before all patriotic societies let
there be held exercises suited to the
occasion and related to this national
crisis in which once more this coun-
try stands with France for humanity
and for the ideals of liberty, fraternity
and equality

VALIANT IRISH BISHOP
CENSOR TRYING TO CHECK CIR
cULATION OF PASTORAL -
BISHOP O'DWYER HAS ALWAYS
BEEN A MILITANT PRELATE.

The Dublin correspondent of the
English Manchester Guardian" says
that the censor has been busy re-
stricting the circulation of the Bishop
of Limericks recent pastoral letter
which is definition of his attitude in
the present crisis.
The famous Bishop of Limerick,
Rt. Rev. DR.. O'Dwyer, is now 70
years of age. He is a Tipperary man,
born at Holy Cross, which was also
the native place of the late Arch
bishop Ryan of Philadelphia, who
erected a simple freestone Celtic Cross
over his fathers remains in the old
Abbey. DR.. O'Dwyer was the only son
of the late John Keating O'Dwyer.
He was educated at Maynooth,, and
was ordained in 1867. While curate
at st. Michael's, Limerick, in 1886, he
was appointed Bishop of Limerick.
AS keen publicist, with trench.
ant style; as a controversialist on edu.
cation questions, and as a writer OF
letters not always pastoral, the Bishor
holds an authority by no means con
fined to his own countrymen He holds

proval of his pamphlet on the Ency

Making Faith Practical
CHARITY OF CARDINALS AND
ROMAN CLERGY - CARDINAL
SACRIFICES PRECIOUS TREAS
URES FOR THE NEEDY.

That the Holy Fathers charity is
nobly initiated by the College Of Car
dinals and the Roman clergy we have
evidence in the offer Of 10000 francs
the other day on the part of the Cardi-
nails in Curia in favor of the work Of
civil assistance for the victims of war.
For the same charitable purpose the
sum of 10000 francs was contributed
by the secular clergy of Rome and the
various institutions administered by
the Roman Curia. To the country's S
demand for gold Cardinal Lafontaine,
Patriarch of Venice, sacrifices some of
his dearest, treasures, amongst them
being a gift received from Pope Plus
X. The Cardinal remarks that the
sanity Pontiff will not grudge the be-
stowal of his gift. He will rather re-
joice that his successor in Venice is SO
prompt and self-sacrificing in the day
of national stress.

The following is the allocution de-
livered by Pope Benedict at the recent
consistory:
Venerable Brothers. We have call

da, simply in order that we may give
new bishops to the widowed churches.
Even though it was possible to provide
for this matter without this cere-
mony. nevertheless it was desirable
TO revert to the custom established OF
old of treating matters of this nature
in sacred consistory, all the more that
of the episcopal sees vacant there is
one Velletri to-wit, which must in any
case be dealt with in the solemnity of
this occasion But before entering on
that matter we take the opportunity

THOR OF "cATHoLlc WHO'S

Sir Francis Cowley Burnand, who
quarter of a century (retiring in
1866, died at his home in Ramsgate
recently, at the age of eighty-one. Sir
Francis, who was received into the
Catholic Church at twenty-one, had
studied for the Anglican ministry. AZ
ter his conversion he spent some time
with the Oblates of st. Charles, of
whom the future Cardinal Manning
was then Superior, but found that he
had nc vocation for the priesthood. He
was called to the bar in 1862, but de-
voted his chief attention to literature,
chiefly to comedies and burlesqueS of
which he produced more than 120,
many of them very successful. In
1866 he contributed series of papers
entitled Happy Thoughts" to Punch,
which when published separately, went
through 26 editions. From that time
onward he was a regular and valued
contributor to that famous weekly, and
in 1880 became its editor. He has CIV
en- the English reading public two very
valuable autobiographical works-"My
Time and What I've Done With It."
and his "reminiscences" For some
years past he was the editor of 'The
Catholic Who's Who," published annu-
ally by Messrs. Burns e Oates. He
was twice married, both his wives be-
ing converts.

PROVIDES CHAPLAINS

This is of special Importance right
now owing to the fact that the army
is to be greatly increased Immediately.
1t is estimated that at least 65 new
chaplains will soon be commissioned.

follow its policy adopted in 1916. by
distributing the chaplaincies accord
ing to the strength of the denomina-
tions, and it will be in a position to
offer the Catholic Church approx
mately 25 chaplains at once.
Owing to the fact that veterans of
every stripe have applied for the army
chaplaincies, should the veteran clause
not have been repealed it is doubtful
if the Catholic Church would have re-
ceived any of these new appointments.
In connection with this matter it
might be remarked that when condi-
tions arise which work harm to Cath
Ollie interests it would be wise to set
to work Immediately to remedy the
evil
Father O'Hern presented his report
to the hierarchy at their annual meet
ing at the Catholic University and
they have taken up the selection
of Jealous and patriotic priests who
may be acceptable to the government
as chaplains for Catholic soldiers and
sailors.

zen, by birth or naturalization; phys

ALL0CUTION OF THE HOLY FATHER

MCMVIII, decreed that the ordination
should be renewed lin manner suit
able and clear to all"
Now, in the consideration and prep
aration of this constitution the mat
ter of the fusion of the Sacred Con-
gregation of the Index and the Holy
Office was also thought of. And that
that was in mind of the wise pontiff is
evident, not only from what was done
then, but also from the testimony of
the distinguished men who took part
in the work For it was seen to be
meet and fitting that the congregation
whose high Office it was to safeguard
the teaching of faith and morals
should also have the charge of watch
ing over the production of books and
ether writings Ca most ready way in
deed of putting forward the thoughts
of men, but also extraordinarily effec-
tive in influencing men in one way or
the other, that is in improving or
corrhpting their minds); and more
over that charge of that nature
should be given as the special, proper
and peculiar office of that distin-
guished congregation, in order, also,
that controversies might be avoided
concerning the competence of the two
congregations; and this, as we have
said, was not the least cause of the
undertaking of the new ordination of
the Roman Curia. To this was added
| the fact that the Congregation of the
| Holy Office, as often as it judged
necessary or useful was accustomed
