Deputies had therefore to be content
with such cold comfort as they could
obtain from M. Berard's assurance
that the wishes of parents would be
respected, and M. Viviani's question
asking who would oppose mothers
wish to send her child to a private
school which existed by legal recog.
milton. But even if that were allowed,
the child, instead of being eligible for
scholarship, will only be helped on
ward by grant. Unable to gain any
concessions, M. Groussau and his
friends eventually showed their ap-
probation of the situation by Austen
ton from voting. Though they could
not give their names to the Bill, they
would at least do nothing to break
the unanimity of France in declaring
it's duty to the children of those who
had fallen for her. BY this action
they have given a pledge to the 'sa-
cred union which has arisen in the
war which should find a return in a

French Colored Troops
ARE coNsEcRATED TO THE
SACRED HEART IN THE CHURCH
OF NoTRE DAME DE TABLES.
MONTPELIER, FRANCE.

Two very touching incidents have
recently taken place in France in con-
neetion with her colonial colored
troops. The first was the conservation
on Sunday last at the Church of No
ire Dame de Tables, Montpelier, of

tiyes who offered themselves to the
Sacred Heart. The ceremony was
performed by Pere Arvieu, of the For
eign Missions, their chaplain, who
speaks all their dialects and has spent
twenty years 6 missionary life
amongst them.
The second incident is very sim
pie but affecting one. A little trail

stopped one pouring wet day in the
ruined streets of Rheims last week
He was bitterly cold, elbowed by sol
diers OF all kinds, and he felt sudden
ly lost and very far away from his
sunny home. Then. he saw some sol
diers following lady in black into
the side door of a church. He was a
Catholic and here was refuge. He
found an altar in a side chapel with
many soldiers kneeling before it. 1t
had been saved and erected there
out of the way of falling shells.
The lady led the way afterwards
into the ruined nave of Rheims Cathe-
dral and the little black soldier fol
lowed. He beheld such a church as
he had never dreamed of. Even the
Cathedral of Anantananarivo was
dwarfed, but the glorious pillars were
shattered, the great windows were

PROPOSES NEW UNIVERSITIES.

One of the bills presented in parlla-
ment by the deputy of Conception,
Chile, Sr. Ricardo Salas Edwards, pro-
poses the creation of universities in
some of the important provinces OF
the country: besides the insufficient
means of communication in such an

from the University of Santiago, the
representative mentions also that in
consequence of the war the various in
terests of the provinces would be bet.
ter served by the proposed law; for
instance, the mining interests by the
Serena university, agriculture and
commerce by the Talca and Concep-
ton university, industry by the Val
diva university, etc. Following are
the principal dispositions of the pro-
ject of law
% Creation of four institutions of
higher education, with the name of
university, in these four great cities,
Conception, Valparaiso, Serena and
Zalca, comprising, as in Santiago, the
five faculties of theology, law and pol
itical science, medicine and pharma-
cy, physical and mathematical scien-
ces, philosophy with humanities and
fine arts; CD said universities will be
juridic persons of public utility and
hence are empowered to contract OBJ
legations and administer all kinds OF
property, to have revenues, etc.; 90
each university shall be under the di-
rection of fifteen members elected as
follows: five counselors designated by
the respective municipalities every
three years, three counselors chosen
by persons or institutions having con-
tributed to it's maintenance, and they
shall be elected every six years, every
vote corresponding to $4,000, five
counselors elected by the president OF

pity is that in this country it was read
with delight by certain element I'M
til 1t was discovered that others be-
sides Catholics were to be prosecuted
Then what was lately regarded with
due smugness as necessary out of po-
i1tical expediency is now regarded as
intolerance. Is confiscation reprehen-
sible only when it concerns Protest
ant holdings?"

No. Longer Protestant Idol
CARRANzA HAS FALLEN FROM
GRACE-THINGS LOOK DIFFER
EMIT WHEN LAWS STRIKE
CLOSE TO HOME.

We ought to be accustomed by this
is prosecuted we get very little SYM
pathy from those outside We saw
that in the beginning Of the anti-cleri-
cal campaign in France. Those who
are forever talking about justice and
liberty could not be moved to say a
the Catholic Church which was being
treated unjustly. The silence of those
outside the Church was SO profound
that it did them no injustice to regard
them as pleased with the prospect that
the Church was to be weakened, OBJ
serves the Boston Pilot.
Of late the same sentiment has pre-
vailed in regard to Mexico. The
story of the prosecutions endured by
the Catholic Church in Mexico is no
sealed book. The ruling faction there
has been convicted of the vilest deeds
against religion. Priests and nuns
have been prosecuted, church property
has been confiscated. But for all that
Carranza did not lose caste with a
certain element hereabouts. AS one
of the Protestant missionaries wrote:
Anyway Carranza is kind to Presby-
terians." Let the Catholic Church
suffer; it was but to prepare the way
for the light of the glorious reforma-
ton.
But suddenly there has been a
change. Now the shoe is on the other
foot. For this sainted CaTanza who
was taken to be a modern Luther car
ried his sense of justice bit too far.
When the new Constitution first ap-
peared did any one hear an cutlery
from the Bible societies? No indeed.
Rather was there a kind of glee. 1t
was thought that the new laws were
aimed at the Catholic Church alone.
All church property was to be confis-
Gated to the government. So far so
good; it meant that the proselytizing
agencies were to be favored, perhaps
to be given few cathedrals and SEM
inaries as their very own for the new
religion.
But the awakening has come. Not
only the Catholic properties are con-
fiscated by the government but the
Protestant holdings as well. And now
there is a protest against this confis-
cation. Why? Is it because the Cath
Ollie Church property has been confis-
Gated? Hardly. That has been going
on for some time and the Bible socie-
ties could not see the injustice of it,
because, forsooth, Carranza liked
Presbyterians. Now they are con-
verified to justice, and see the iniquity
not of confscation in general, but of
their Protestant holdings. And, so we
are informed that the assistance of
the Protestant churches in the United
States is requested in order to have
nullified or modified the provisions of
the new constitution not only against
confiscation but also against the laws
affecting education and marriage.
The whole story of the persecution
in Mexico is violation of all justice
But that story does not begin today.
It has been of long standing. The
