Dearth OF French Clergy
IMMENSE PARISHES" ATTENDED
BY FEW PRIESTS-THE CLERGY
IN FRANCE AND HER COLONIES.

The Paris correspondent of The
Dublin Irish Catholic says: "The re
cruiting of the clergy is matter
which has long preoccupied the mind
of the religious authorities of France
and her colonial possessions. The diff
ficulties surrounding that recruiting
are not simply the result of the war
but perhaps, especially in Algeria
they have been greatly increased by
the hostilities. 1t is for that reason
Mgr. Legasse, Bishop of Oran, has
just drawn the attention, not only oil
the faithful of his diocese, but that OF
the French Government, to those diff
ficulties, which are unauestionably
most disquieting in Algeria.
The painful situation the Bishor
has to deal with can be imagined
from the statements made by him in
pastoral letter, showing that in Ger
tain parts of his great diocese one
single priest has to serve several vii
lagos separated from one another by
distances of Is, 80 and even more

tiers of colonization continue increas
ing, and, adds the Bishop, the con
stantly and rapidly growing popula
ton demands priests
1t is true the towns are better off
but parishes possessing a population
of 10000 souls have only two priests
to provide for the religious needs OF
the faithful, who are spread out in
numerous outlying suburbs. That sit.
uation, agonizing for the mind and
soul of the Bishop, has prompted Mgr
Legasse to appeal even to the free.
thinking government, demanding sup.
port, in spite of the existence of the
law separating Church and State.
Speaking of the war the Bishop
says that thousands of priests of the
mother country have lost their lives,
that the home seminaries have been
almost completely emptied, and that
Algeria must depend upon her own
efforts to recruit her clergy.

WORLD HAS CHANGED SOME
Reasons Why Feats Of Phenomenally
Strong Men Are Not Likely
to Be Duplicated.

George Hackenschmidt was pretty
strong man and many are the tales
told Of his wondrous feats of strength.
But the Russian lion was weakling
compared to a certain man who lived
on the southern coast of Ireland.
1t is said Of this particular Irish
man that when he went fishing for
whales he always used three-inch
hawser for a line and 60O-pound an
Choir for a hook. He'd bait his hook
with q couple Of sheep, or maybe a
calf, whirl 1t around his head two or
three times and send 1t sailing out
into the ocean.
We forget to mention that he usual
ly used an old cannon or something for
sinker.
Atlas used to do a pretty neat lit
tie turn In holding the world on his
shoulders. But 1t must be remembered
that in his time the world wasn't as
heavy as it is now. There weren't so

machinery, and big guns and monu-
ments and bridges and Wilbert Robin

no Indication of how he regards the

give it consideration.
Members of the presidents official
family are understood to be strongly

ground that it would involve useless
risk and would accomplish nothing
which could not be- accomplished
through delegates the PRESIDENT might
select and with whom Re could keep
