WAR CRUCIFlxES
SINGULAR FACT IS NOTED IN
FRANCE sHRlNEs SEEM I'M
MUNE. FROM ATTACK ON BAT
TIE FRONT.

Captain George P. O,Malley, army
surgeon at the Front, has written an
interesting letter to a friend in New
York In his letter Captain O'Malley
says:
"A peculiar thing out here, which
is openly commented upon, is the al
most miraculous preservation of the
little shrines and roadside Calvarys
which are found all over this part of
France. There is a beautiful big
chateau Cor what once was a beau
tiful palace) just little way UP the
road from me. Today, while passing
there I noticed that the roof had been
almost completely destroyed, every
window and door had been crushed,
the whole inside was demolished, and
only parts of the outside brick walls
left standing. In the front of the
house, right where the door would be,
but little above it, stood an alcove
with a statue of the Blessed Virgin
and vase of artificial flowers. The
whole a1cove was closed in by a glass
front. Though every window and bit
of glass in the house had been broken
to bits and shells had gone through
the walls on either side and above the
statue, the glass door of the alcove,
was undisturbed. The whole shrine is
intact though the building is in ruins.
Zone of our officers here-a major
came in today after a tour of inspec-
ton and told of an extraordinary sight
he had seen. A big life-sized Calvary,
housed in a big alcove-like protection,
stood with the rear facing the German
lines. This had been shelled repeat
edly and the whole brick affair COM
pletely wrecked, but the big cross, sew
eral feet high, with the life-sized fig
ure of Christ crucifed, stood un-
scathed
These scenes are constantly oc-
curing, and even the most skeptical
are commenting on it. They say it is
rare indeed that these shrines are
ever hit by shells"

ROME AND IRELAND
COURSE OF EVENTS IN ERIN IS
WATCHED CLOSELY IN ETER-
NAL CITY CARDINALS LEFT
FREE.

Recent developments in ireland are
being noted in Rome with close inter
est and deep concern, and hopes are
entertained that the present troubles
will find speedy and peaceful settle
ment. In some of the English news
papers the opinion is expressed that
the, Vatican should intervene in regard
to the very strong attitude against
conscription that has been taken up
by Cardinal Logue and the bishops,
Major Newman, it is noted, asked a
question in the British House of Com
mons suggesting that the Cardinals
attitude infringes upon the neutrality
of the Pope.
This plea that the Vatican should
intervene in. Ireland sounds strange
when it is remembered how often the
Vatican has been solemnly warned
that it must not interfere in politics.
Moreover, Cardinal Logue is not a
Cardinal in Curia resident in Rome
and in attendance upon the Pope. He
resides in Ireland, where he is en-

people. From the beginning of the
war all Cardinals have been left free
to adopt whatever attitude they deem
best in their native countries. The
patriotic attitudes of Cardinal Bourne,
Cardinal Annette, Cardinal Mercier,
Cardinal Lugari, Cardinal Hartmann,
and others has not affected the Pope's
neutrality.

Elsewhere we. publish the lists of
contributions received from the sew
eral parishes of the Diocese in the
wear 1917, to the benefit of the Holy
See. The lists should be read with
attention, that parishes which today
deserve praise make effort to gain yet
higher praise in future lists: that
parishes whose smallness of gift in
yites reproach make effort in future
opportunities to be more worthy OF
their sonship in the Supreme Pontifi-
cate than heretofore they have permit
ted themselves to appear.
Our special appeal is to our high
minded and jealous priests. AS the
nriest. so the flock. AS the priest
strives to do, so the flock will be led
to do. Let the words of the priest, in
the announcement of the Pentecostal
Collection. vibrate with warm love
for the Holy See; let his very voice
be the signal of loyalty and of deyo
tion: let it be plain that his pride in
his parish, and what his parish is will
ing and able to do for Church and fol
Pontifcate, The People will not fal
to respond.
We recall, with very strong in
sistence, the statute of the Diocese o
st. Paul ordering that the full sums
of collections taken up at each ant
every Mass on Pentecost Sunday b
set aside as belonging to the Holy
See-no deductions whatever beint
allowed for the benefit of local parish
treasures. In some places, we have
had reason to believe, trustees deduc
from the gross sum of collections al
equivalent of the average Sunday col
lection, to the intent that the parisl
treasury lose nothing of its regula
receipts. This custom, wherever Q
however introduced, is formally pre-
hibIted. The parish as such, no les
