CHURCH BUILDING
TODAY IN IRELAND
Since Catholic Emancipation Irish
Have Spent Five Million Dollars on
churches-DubIin Heads the List
In Fifty Years the Archdiocese Has
Spent About Isl 1881 Pounds.

Church Building in Ireland" is the
subject of sympathetic and lengthy
illustrated article in The Builder.
The loss of the ancient Catholic
churches to the new Protestant church
at the time of the Reformation and
the enormous disabilities and disad-
vantages" under which Catholics slf-
fered during the penal times, are point
ed out.
The repeal of the iniquitous legis-
lation referred to brought an oppor-
tunity Of which Irish Catholics we're
rot slow in availing themselves. 1t
was followed, we are told, by "an era
Of church building which, taking into
consideration the disparity of wealth
and population of Great Britain and
ireland, has no parallel in modern his
tory" Then the long-continued effort
which resulted in the completion Of
Armagh Cathedral is cited as typical
of the efforts of which many Of the
new churches are the result. Begun
in 1S4G. it took thirty-three years to
erect, whilst it's adornment is due to
the zeal of Cardinal Logue. Review.

Catholics in the building of churches
The Builder says:
THE building of Armagh, Queens.
town, and other of the great churches
Of Ireland is as remarkable as the
completion of St. Peters at Rome or
St. Paul's in London, as the one was
made possible by the offerings of half
Christendom and the wealth of medic
val Rome. and the other was assisted
by the imposition of many dues by the
city of London and the funds of the
Established Church, while the Cathe-
drals of Ireland have been chiefly
built out of the offerings of the peas
antry of Ireland. Armagh Cathedral
has cost $250,000 in all up to the pres.
ent time."
The Builder also says that: Among
other cathedrals which have been
built in Ireland are those of Queens
town, which stands like a sentinel on
the fairway of the great Atlantic lin
ers, and on which s250,O0O has been
expended; Killarney, fine example
of Pugin's skill, costing s1S0,0O0, and
Monaghan, built at cost of &15O,OOO
Kilkenny, simple and pleasing cathe-
dral, cost 100000, and about the same
amount has been expended on the Ca
thedral at Limerick. Other cathedrals
have been erected in Londonderry,
Thurles, Letterkenny, Sligo, Loughrea
and Longford, besides a long list of
parochial churches in every district of
ireland, the erection of which has
been made possible both by gifts of
money and offerings in kind. taking
the shape of material, carriage, ETC."
1t is stated that in the diocese of
Dublin alone no less than 9751, 1874
has been spent upon church building
during the last fifty years.

sec'y. Baker Desires All Lodges and
Societies Help in RecreationaI
Measures for Soldiers.

Secretary of War Baker has just
pointed out way to harness up
lodges, fraternal organizations and
other social and recreational societies
with the men in army cantonments and
national guard training camps. This
accompanied the Secretary's explana-
ton why all such organizations ex-
cept the Y. M. c. A. and the knights
of Columbus have been denied the
privilege of erecting buildings in the
camps.
Secretary Baker said many COM
plants have followed his order limit
ing recreational work inside the camps
to the two Organizations. He pointed
out that most of them wanted to take
care only of their own members and
that besides there was not room in
the camps for so many buildings. He
referred to the work of the K. of c.
and the Y. M. c. A. on the Mexican
border last summer, end pointed out
that both organizations served the
soldiers along social lines, without
regard to any question of member
ship.

gency is so great that trust all groups

many representative Irishmen called

met in friendly converse animated by
one common purpose and inspired by
one sole object, the uplifting of their
common fatherland. Therefore with

criticism are only, in such a situation

be reprobated. Ireland has an unique
opportunity now offered it Of settling
it's own difficulties by itself and
amongst it's own countrymen.

cred LaFollette very honest

either playing politics" or is a
traitor, in using his Office to de.
feat Wilson'S plans in preparing
for war. But Wilson's troubles
are not as great as Lincoln's
were in that line. Vallanding-
ham, an exceptionally brilliant
man, whose home was in Ohio,
gave Lincoln all kinds of trouble,
until he was sent through the
Confederate lines" 1t doesn't
make any difference whether

he should be sent through the
