A POSSIBLE REASON FOR PETRO-
GRAD DRIVE

The German drive against the defenses
of Petrograd may be tacit admission
by them that they know they have got
to leave Belgium and France; and it is
possible that the offensive against the
weakened Russians is intended to be a
counter effect to a prospective withdraw
al of German troops from before the ad
vancng British and the holding French
on the southern end of the line. The
withdrawal of German troops from Bel
GUM and France would prove to be a
blow of greatly depressing effect on the
people of Germany, tending even to
shake the rule of the war party in Ger
many and perhaps bring on revolution.
If, to counterfeit that effect, victory
in Russia could be pointed to with great
eclat the war lords of Germany might
perhaps be able to stay the current of
popular discomfort over the failure of
the German military arm on the western
war front. To support that theory one
needs only to point to the steady ad-
vance which the British are making in
Belgium toward cutting off the German
line of communication between Lille and
ostend and the other German bases on
the North sea. The army of Crown
Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria has not
been able to check the British plunges
which have been made with increasing
frequency, his resistance having been
punctured and his counter attacks being
nearly nullified. Won Hindenburg may
be preparing for another of his so-called
strategic retreats.

German subjects in the United States
who wish to maintain the good will OF
the American people can do so by filing
their intentions of becoming American
citizens and in deporting themselves in
a manner which could not be construed
as hostile to the United States In many
sections of the country Germans who are
making no move to renounce allegiance
to the kaiser are losing their positions
because their inactivity in that respect
gives rise to suspicion of their motives
So the best way for German subject to
do in the United States is to start the
steps toward citizenship at once, provid
ing, of course, he desires the protection
and advantages which such citizenship is
able to bring. Otherwise, he might as
well come out iat-footed in his support
of the kaiser and 60 into an interment
camp. There can scarcely be any half
way measures in this situation.

MARTYRED ARCHBISHOP
CAUSE OF VENERABLE OLIVER
PLUNkETT, PRlMATE OF
ALL IRELAND.

The Venerable Oliver Plunkett,
Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of
All Ireland, whose cause of beatif-
cation has been under considera-
tion at the meeting of the Sacred
Congregation of Rites, was put to
death at Tyburn on July II, 1851.
He was seized and cast into prison
at Dublin castle on December 6, 1G79.
Informers were at hand to swear his
life away, but their character was
too well known in Dublin, so the trial
was transferred to London. His mar
tyrdom closed long series of deaths
for the Faith at Tyburn. The next
day after his execution the bubble
of the Titus Oates conspiracy burst.
Lord SALISBURY, the chief instigator
of the persecution, was consigned to
the tower, and Oates, his prejured
chief witness, was thrown into Jail.
The martyrs remains swere trans
ferred to- handspring in Germany,
and 200 years later to st. Gregorys,
Downside, England.

ity on medical subjects, gives the fol

Many culpably ignorant physicians
in modern times think there are cir
cumstances in which the physician &C,
quires a right over human life, and
the only reason for this thought is a
misconception of expediency or the
neglect of the civil authorities to pun,

There are only two conditions in
which anyone, physician or layman
may kill another person, and those
are when man, as a judge or ruler in

Intolerance in Florida
MINISTER'S AND POLITICIANS Fo-
MENT DlscoRD IN SOUTH.


The reputation for intolerance and
stupidity that Florida's preacher-gov-
ernor has so easily acquired, and the
fact that the Legislature of that state
has recently passed, by large ma
jority, Convent-Inspection bill, make
particularly timely and important Fa-
ther John Conoley's excellent paper on
"The Present Position of Catholics in
Florida which appears in the Catho-
lie Mind for June %. He shows how
the ministers and the politicians are
responsible for the disgraceful exhi-
bition of ignorance and bigotry that
that state is now giving the world,
but he also tells how the persecution
has thrown the Catholics back upon
themselves and made them value their
faith more than ever. CLERGY and
people are united as never before;
men and women long away from the
Sacraments have not only returned to
the normal practice of their religion,
but are foremost in every good work.

Venerable Bishop Dead
WELL KNOWN PRELATE RULED

SPAIN.

The news of the sudden death of the
venerable Bishop RANGES y Villanueva
of Cadiz, in Spain, was recently given
out. The deceased prelate belonged to
one of the oldest aristocratic families
Of Cadiz, being brother of the Mar
squis of Casa Laiglesia, who was for
many years Spanish Ambassador in
London. Ordained priest in 1865, he
threw himself heart and soul into the
work of the missions, and when in
1877 the then Nuncio wished to con-
fer on the lndefat!gable missioner the
Deanship of the Diocese of Cadiz, DR..
RANGES y Villaneuva refused the
proffered honor. Finally, however, the
Nuncio, wishing to mark his great
services, insisted on his taking can
onry in the diocese of Cadiz, whence
he was named Bishop of Dora and
Prior of the Military Orders in 1885.
On this occasion he became a pro-
fessed Knight of the Order of Santi
ago. He was promoted to the Bish-
opric OF his native diocese in 1898
The late Bishop represented the Arch
diocese of Seville in the Senate for
several legislatures.

First Chapel in America
MASS WAS SAID ON THE ISLAND
OF HAITI IN 1893.

The island of Haiti was the place at
VIII, in 1888, the first Mass was eel
ebrated in all America. The priest
who said the Mass was Juan Perez,
friend and counselor of Columbus. AS
guardian or superior of the monastery
of La Rabida, Spain, Father Perez had
encouraged the discoverer, and by in
terceding for him at court, made pos
sible the first journey of discovery.
On the second journey the priest ac-
companied his now famous and pow
erful friend. They landed ON the is
land of Hispaniola, or Haiti.
At Point Conception, we are told by
the Franciscan, Father Zephyrin En-
gelhardt, in the introductory pages of
his history of the missions and Mis-
sionaries of California the fourth
volume of which has just been pub
lished, that Father Perez built of
boughs and matched with straw the
first chapel in the new world, and
"there on the feast of the Immaculate
Conception, Dec. 8, offered up the first
holy sacrifice of the Mass and in the
name of Jesus Christ blessed the land
in whose discovery he had taken SO
conspicuous part"
Haiti is today a negro republic, and
is nominally Catholic. The Indians
have long since disappeared.
