BIC BAZAAR At
ST. BR|DG[T'S CHURCH
Entertainment This Year to Be BIGGER
Than Ever-Last Night to Be
Given Over to Entertain
ment and Drawing.

The people of st. Bridget's parish
North Minneapolis, are putting their
best thought and energy into the prep.
aration for bazaar to be held in
the church auditorium on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday, the 3rd, 4th
and 5th of December. Dinner will be
served on Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings from 4:3O to 8. The ladies
of the parish have made reputation
for providing excellent meals, and as
the price of dinner is very moderate
many will consider it more economical
and enjoyable to go to st. Bridget's
for dinner those evenings than remain
at home.
The spirit that carried our boys on
to a glorious victory "over there" is
much in evidence among the young
people. There are many interesting
features of the bazaar-too many to
speak about in d lail. The last eve.
ming, Dec. S, will be given over. wholly
to entertainment and drawing for ba-
zaar articles. Don't forget the bazaar,
nor the dates, nor the dinner, nor the
fun that the people of st. Bridget's
parish are preparing for you.

CARDINAL FOR IRELAND
Cardinal O'ConnelI Pleads for Free
dom for Emerald lsIe.

Boston, Nov. 18.-Cardinal O'Con-
nell demands freedom for Ireland and
declares that the Irish can love the
English as only Celtic hearts can love
those who, recognizing the injustice Of
the cruel past, wipe out all it's stains
by one superb act of splendid, gener-
GUS and just recognition of the right.
The cardinal was speaking at the
welcome to the churchmen and lay
men of the English and French eccle-
siastical missions. In making his ad-
dress of welcome he said in part:
England has a glorious chance.
She must not fail US. She will not
fail. The Gael and the Puritan will
then say together: Let us forget the
wrongs and sorrows of the past in the
JOY and happiness, the peace and con-
tentment of the present and the glor-
ious hopes of the future"

BISHOP HEATING
and MGR. BARNES
VISIT N0TRE Dame

Bishop Keating of Northampton
England; honsignor Barnes, formerly
of the Dublin Review, at present chap
lain at Oxford University, and Bishop
Hickey, of Rochester, N. Y, addressed
the University of Notre Dame, Thurs
day, Nov. 21, while on shore visit.
The distinguished speakers were in
troduced by Rev. DR.. Cavanaugh, presi-
dent of Notre Dame.
How the English universities have
suffered during the war is shown by
Mgr. Barnes assertion that the at
tendance of university students is less
than one-tenth normal. In his own
college at Oxford there are only eight
students, whereas before the war
there were one hundred and ninety.
"There are two kinds Of soldiers" 7"
said Bishop Heating, "the soldier who
fights for himself, and he is bandit;
and the soldier who fights for human
ity, and he is a knight" AS the audi
ence was composed chiefly of young
soldiers, the development of this
theme proved fascinating and inspir-
ing.
Bishop Hickey paid tribute to
President Wilson, saying that the
President had been brave, just and
charitable, and that no utterance of
his had tended to arouse hatred in
American hearts against the enemy.
This fact, the bishop thought, proved
Wilson's greatness, and did much to
win the recognition he enjoys among
the great leaders of Europe.
At this meeting, Father Cavanaugh
announced the death in action of Capt.
George A. Campbell, formerly military
instructor at Notre Dame, and led in
a short public prayer for the repose
of his soul. AS soldier in the regu-
lar army, Captain (then Sergeant)
Campbell, had won every military dis
tinction the Government >bestows. At
Notre Dame, Capt. Campbell was re-
spected as few men ever are. His
home was In Boston, Mass.

A third European commission to the

Carton de Wharf, cousin of General
Carton de Wharf, V.C., ETC., of the
British army. Msgr. de Wharf comes
as the special envoy of the Belgian
government and of Cardinal Mercier,
who, although he was unable to send
a written message to the noble jubi-
larian, was able to send a verbal one.
Msgr. de Wharf says Cardinal Gibbons
is deeply appreciated in Belgium, and
is held in the highest esteem by their
majesties, the king and queen of the

Third Annual
Sim Feiin Meet
Big Party and Fheis Held at Dublin
The Past and the Future-Pros-
pect for Peace Conference.

Dublin, 1reland.-The third annual
convention of the Sim Fein organiza-
tion was held at the Mansion House,
Tuesday, Oct. 20, Fother O'F1anagan
presiding over a large attendance of
delegates.
Mr.. De Valera and the other officers
were reelected, and an Executive
Committee appointed, while Father
O'Flanagan, on a motion regarding his
suspension, made a personal state
ment in which he advised that they
should not interfere in ecclesiastical
matters, and the motion was not pro-
ceeded with.
Presidents Address.
Rev. M. O'Flanagan, in his opening
address, said the work of the organiza-
tion had not gone on for the past year
just like clockwork, but he offered no
apology. When the handspring of a
clock were taken away the wonder
was that it would go at ALL and with
them their president and other officers
elected last year had disappeared
overnight. The organization had to
get on as best it could, but he was sure
when Messrs. Stack and Figgis re-
turned they would give first-class GER
tiicates to the acting Sees, Mr. Bo-
land and Aid. Kelly.
That assembly he nrOceeded renre-
sented the nation. Nobody was there
in virtue of any privilege attached to
his personality or his family, and no
body was there because they wanted
to do something else besides going
there. They spoke for nation at a
great turning point in its history, and
nation that had done more than any
other to bring that turning point in
