PONTIFF DETERMINES
BILINGUAL QUESTION

Pope Benedict has written another
letter to Cardinal Begin and the other
Canadian Bishops on the bilingual
question. After Rome had studied the
question, it decided to permit the Cath
olics to obtain, if possible, concessions
from the government under the new
education law of 1913. The Pope up
holds the right to have the young chill
dren taught catechism in their native
French. He kindly admonishes the
French Canadian Catholics, however,
not to venture into the courts or pro-
mote litigation without the consent Of
their Bishop, who must consult other
Bishops. The action of Rome is taken
because the dispute over the French
English language question had become
so hot in Canada that it was causing
bitterness even between dioceses.

American Support
l|For Irish Freedom
Is Asked Con gress
Resolution Would Have United States
Delegates Make Representations
at Versailles Conference.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Adoption Of
the joint resolution requesting the
peace conference to grant independ-
ence to Ireland was urged by former
Congressman German of Illinois be-
fore the House foreign affairs COM
mittee today.
1--WE believe that if an appeal went
out from here that Americas funda-
mental principles of the right Of small
nations to govern themselves be recog-
nized, it could not and would not be
ignored" Mr.. German declared.
Asked what form of government
ireland would choose if she were made
Independent, Mr.. German replied: "If
granted freedom, Ireland would in all
probability follow the shining exam
pie of the United States. We are ap-
pealing to the application to Ireland
of fundamental American principle.
1t is to be hoped that in the case Of
Ireland this principle will be granted"
Father F. x. Mckay of Chicago said
thousands of Irish sympathizers this
week were pleading for Ireland.
Representative Gallivan Of Boston
said: "The appeal signed by 168
members of Congress and sent to
England had no effect, but the Allies
dare not ignore an appeal of our
President"
Representative Hammill of New Jer-
sey said the time had come for the
United States to make good" that for
which she was fighting.

tion of government, political and eco

Therefore, we request that the pow

of America be invoked for the purpose
of giving Ireland place at the Peace
Conference of the Nations;
That Ireland's claims to Independ-
ence may receive equal consideration
with those of Poland, and that sho
may take her rightful place in the
