lRISH-AMERIcAN'S PROTEST
PICTURE.
Picture Based on Easter Rebellion
Arousing Big Storm Of Protest
Throughout the United
States.

Whom the Gods Destroy" a
Greater Vitagraph film based on Incl
dents in the Easter Week Rebellion
in Ireland, is arousing a storm of pro-
test in Irish-American circles.
On the first intimation of its ap-
pearance Irish people of New York
visited the moving picture house
where the film was being exhibited
and by very direct and unmistakable
methods had the film withdrawn.
Some managers, on getting word as to
the nature of the picture, refused to
accept it and substituted others.
The wave of indignation has also
undulated to other cities. A protest
meeting was held recently in Boston
by the Friends of Irish Freedom, and
action was taken to urge Mayor Cur
ley and Police Commissioner O'Meara
to bring their influence to bear on the
theatrical censors.

sors in American colleges are atheists
do not believe in God. In fact, only
twenty-seven per cent of the more
eminent believe in God. Moreover,
pushing still further his investigation,
he finds that only thirty-five per cent
of the more eminent professors be-
lieve in the immortality of the soul.
Els it possible that these facts are
known to the fathers and mothers of
this country? Is it possible that what
the nation must now look forward to
with boastful pride is that America in
a short time will be the greatest in
fldel country in the whole world? For
years. the Catholic Church has been
cautioning America against these
growing evils in the training Of youth.
For years, by dint of tremendous sac
rifices, our people have warded of
this danger to their own children. IN
til now the only answer has been
either hooking smile or q bitter
frown."

DISASTROUS fires
REPORTED IN IRELAND
County Tyrone Scutch Mills Burned
to the Ground-Great Destruction
Reported as Total Loss-Two Mills,
Five Miles Apart, Burn at Same
Time.

A rather unique affair has taken
place in County Tyrone, Ireland, re-
sulting in the total destruction of two
flax scutch mills, one of them being
situate in. the :tawn]and, 81 Kilstrule,
Aiustrav;;::: about: i've miles distant
from strabane. tho property o. a Mr..
Ramsay, who: is. a. ''substantisl farmer
in the district; and the other the
property of man named Mr.. Scott,
who resides at the townland of Drum
clamph, adjacent to Castlederg, who
also is substantial farmer and mill
owner. Before any alarm could be
raised great destruction had taken
place, and before assistance was OBJ
tanned the buildings were practically
Quilted. There was quantity of fax
in the mills, the property of adjoining
farmers awaiting scutching, all of
which has been destroyed.
A remarkable feature of the Incl
dent is that both mills are situate
about five miles apart from each other
and both were practically in flames at
the same time. Mr.. Ramsay's mill
employed a good number of workers,
and Mr.. SCOTS mill also gave employ
ment to reasonable number OF
scutchers.
Inside the period of one week three
mills have been burned to the ground
in the same district in North Tyrone.

Many Deaths Reported and the Poor
Live on Grass, Says Greek
Legation.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The Greek
Legation in a statement today says
famine is resulting from the Entente
blockade of the coast of Greece, and
the poor classes are living on herbs
and grass. The statement follows:
"Ten deaths from starvation have
been reported from the province Of
Jannina, one at Laurium, ten in AGAR
mania, two in the province of Preceza,
one in Eubia and one in Messina. The
poor classes have begun to live on
herbs and grass. The epidemics of
enteritis and dysentery are rapidly
spreading in the country.
Notwithstanding the complete exc
cution of the Allies ultimatum, no re-
taxation of the blockade has been
brought about. Numbers of fishing
boats constantly are sunk or seques-
tered by the ships enforcing the block
ade. Coasting trade between ports of
the kingdom is completely pro.

Georgia Grand Juries
GEORGIA JURORS WANT THE
INSPECTION LAW REPEALED
REPORT OF INQUlSlToRS lNDI-
GATES COMMEMORATE CONDl-
TlONS IN CATHOLIC INSTlTU-
TlONS.

In obedience to the infamous Geor-
gia law for the inspection of converts |
and religious institutions, the various
grand juries of the state, whose men,
bers are all Professionals, recently made
their first annual visitation and in
spection of the Catholic institutions
of the Diocese of Savannah. Begin
ming in the city of Savannah the in
quisitors called successfully at the
convent and academy of St. Vincent
de Paul, St. Mary's Home, st. Joseph's
Hospital and the Convent of the Sa-
cred Heart, all in charge Of the Sis
tiers of Mercy. The grand jurors were
received with the utmost politeness
by the Sisters and were escorted
through all the departments of the
various buildings which they mani
tested desire to inspect.
In none of them did they find dark
cells" nor any imprisoned Sisters or
inmates, but in all of them they found
the most perfect sanitary and other
arrangements and all the inmates hap
by and content. No criticism was
possible and the visiting officials with
drew with profuse apologies and COM
pliments to the Sisters for their ex-
cellent management.
The same state of affairs was found
in the Colored Orphan Asylum and
St. Francis Home, both under the
care of the Missionary Sisters of St..
Francis; the Little Sisters Home for
the Aged and the priory and college
of the Benedictine Fathers.
The other Catholic institutions in
Atlanta, Augusta, Brunswick, Colum-
bus, Sharon, Washington and Macon
were also visited, but so far as known,
the grand jurors found nothing to
criticize, or condemn and much to
praise and commend.
At Macon, the grand jurors desig
mated six of their number to visit
Mount de Sales Convent and Academy
of the Sisters of Mercy, where twenty
one Sisters are in charge of large
boarding and day school, not few
Of the children coming from promi
nent Protestant families. The spokes
man of the six apologized to the Rev
erend Mother Alphonsus for the Law
that compelled them to pay such 8
visit and said that he really was
ashamed to come on such an errand.
The Reverend Mother put the gen
tlemen quite at their ease by sympa
thizing with them in their enforced
performance of an unpleasant duty
offering to throw open to them thu
whole convent and academy for tn
purposes of their inspection. Will
a touch of true Southern chivalry tn
grand jurors declined to go through
the convent and instead most courte
ously requested the privilege of meet
ing the Sisters and pupils in their as
sembly hall.

The question of building harbOr
at Galway for the purpose of Irish,
American and Canadian trade was
brought recently before the Dublin
Corporation, and the idea was strong
ly supported by all members. A reso-
luton was adopted calling the atten-
ton of the Government to the subject
in connection with the necessity of
reproductive works to relieve antici-
pated distress in the home countries
after the war.
1t was stated that the creation Of
a great harbor at Galway to deal
with American and Canadian traffic
through ireland would be vastly i'm
portant to the people of Ireland and
Great Britain, and bring home coun-
tries into quicker communication with
America and the dominions. The
route from Galway to. Canada and
America would be the shortest, and
people in Great Britain were begin
ming to recognize the Importance of
Galway as q transatlantic port partic-
ularly, and in the near future the "All
Red Route" would be again a question
of urgent public importance. A
through Ireland" route from Great
Britain to America, it was asserted,
would be Of enormous advantage to
both those countries, and above all to
ireland, which would be brought into
the thoroughfare of the progress and
life of the world, and would thus OBJ
tain a commercial status which she
had not enjoyed for generations.

It Is Intended to Block Exit Of Sub.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 23.-There
is talk of the United States going to
war with Germany because the latter
has drawn a war zone around England
and says that her submarines will try
to sink any vessel found therein. But
nothing much has been said about the
British war zone. Notice of it, re-
ceived by the State Department, warns
all shipping companies to keep out
of prescribed area of the North Sea,
including all waters off Germany and
parts of Holland and Denmark. The
said area has been sown with mines
by Great Britain. The notice says:
I'm view of the unrestricted war
fare carried on by Germany at sea by
means of mines and submarines not
only against the allied powers but
also against neutral shipping and the
