The B. r. 7. wreck on the Brighton
line. which had caused eighty-nine
deaths up to last night, was the sub
jcct Of two inquiries yesterday. one
conducted by the Mayor and District
Attorney Harry Z. Lewis of Kings and
the other by United States Attorney
France, Of Brooklyn.
The former, q J John Doe session, aims
to put those responsible for the acci-

crew or officials of the company, in iail
for manslaughter. The Federal in
quiry was undertaken because of the
fOuting by the B. R. 7. of the national
War Labor Boards recommendations

recovered from his injuries sufficiently
to be arraigned.
Political Feud Forgotten
The Public Service Commission, de-
spite a renewal of it's feud with the
Mayor, put its entire force of electrical
and equipment experts at the service
of the Mayor and District Attorney
Lewis, setting them all to work exam
ining the scene of the wdeck and col
ccting evidence. Their complete report
is expected Tomorrow
Mayor Hylan, who sat as commit
ting magistrate in the John Doe in
quiry, took fling at the Public Ser
vice Commission in IL letter to Alfred
Il. Smith, in which nc referred to the
failure of the Public Service Com
mission to adopt regulations which
would prevent green motormen from
operating trains"
To this the Public Service Commits
sion retorted that the charge was un-
just and was an attempt to make po-
litical capital Of the tragedy.
Public Service Commissioner Kracke
asserted that the failure of the b. r. T.
to comply with the recommendations
fthe National War Labor Board in
reinstating discharged motormen and
thus avoiding the strike was the "pri-
mary cause" of the disaster, and that
by its action the company "has for
feted any claim it ever had to the con-
fdencc OF the public" Chairman Hub
bell said, however. that if the men had
given notice of their intention the
strike might have been avoided.

nails, which were at present as much
the instrument of the tyrant as was
the poison in the Middle Ages, they
would not do so. There was little use
of unity if it was leading them on the
road to hell.
The Sim Feiners wanted Ireland to
be set up as an independent State,
with no closer bonds between it and
England than there would be between
it and America, between it and Ger
many, or between it and France. That
was the message of the elections, and
if those who went about mouthing
about self-determination didn't take
that Interpretation they were hypo-
critics, and they would tell President
Wilson, in view of the statements he
had made, if he didn't take that inter-
probation of it that he was as big a
hypocrite as Lloyd George.
Mr.. DiIIon's Article.
Whether President Wilson was in
the category of the Lloyd George
crowd or not time alone would tell.
When he saw that John Dillon had
written at the head of which might
be put "Sinn Fein Treachery to the
United States" he asked himself was
it possible that the son of John Blake
Dillon should be such renegade. He
said to himself that If he wrote the
article he was a fit companion for
John Mitchel's grandson.
What came into his mind was what
a poor Glare woman said during, the
Parnell split. Mr. Parnell passed, and
she said MAY God forgive you, Mr..
Parnell, for you broke my heart" Any
decent Irishman, seeing the way that
the Nationalist Party was trying to
misrepresent people, who stood for ex.
actly what they stood for twenty years
ago and had run away from, would
say, May God forgive them"
They spoke of treachery to the
United States. Should they alone
take it that if France had an enemy,
that enemy should also be theirs? Had
they no choice for themselves?
The Grip Of England.
He did not for moment believe that
the things about the Irish in America
were true. If the Irish of America
tried to make them be friends of En-
gland before England took her grip
off them, then they would tell their
friends in America that they did not
want their advice and that they would
not take it.
If they wanted to help them in
America-and he believed they did
the way to do it was to back up their
demand, and not to substitute demands
of their own for theirs. America, Ger
many, France and the rest of them
were their friends because they had
done nothing to them.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
AND PATRIOTISM
(COntributed.)

(Contributed.)
AS the census of the religious belief
of the men at the various environments
is being gradually sent to the press,
one fact stands out very prominently:
The Catholic men in most large camps
number two to one of any other de-
nomination. This is naturally a source
of honest pride to all Catholics, Pa
tr1otism is sacred duty. Next to
God, our country! Religion and pa
triOtism are inseparable.
We cannot say with Holy Scripture:
"Thy people shall be my people," with
out adding, "and thy God my God"
l love my country because l love the
people in it. 1t is God and my church
and not politicians that teach me to
love my fellow men, even my enemies.
The Church of Christ is a school of
patriotism. Christ it's founder was the
ideal patriot. He suffered and made
constant sacrifices because He was a
| patriot. He was born in cave, paid
tribute, wept over Jerusalem, and final
ly died on Cross because He was a
patriot. His death was the most sub
lime example of patriotism the world
has ever seen.
The Apostles and Early Christians
Were Patriots.
The Apostles of Christ were true
patriots to man. They told the per-
secutor: I'VE must serve God rather
than men," and they died for it. No
need to search the libraries for pa
triotic treatises while the Epistles of
st. Paul are at hand. It is sad to
think of the rulers of ancient Rome
putting to death the early Christians
who loved their country better than
their lives, and that which made them
patriots was the very thing for which
they were sacrificed. Was there a
nobler, Drawer, or more loyal soldier
in the Emperor's army than the gal.
liant Sebastian? The early Christians
were true patriots, because they gave
their lives for the Christian faith,
which was ultimately to be the liberia.

tries, from the slavery of paganism.

COMING CENTENARY OF
ST. JEROME.

On Saturday, January IL, took place
at the Biblical Institute the opening
lecture of the year. The lecturer was
Father Albert Vaccari, the subject the
coming centenary of st. Jerome. Fa-
Their Vaccari focused his attention on
the last years of st. Jerome. He
maintained, with the older chroniclers,
that the saints death occurred on
September 30, 420, and not, as some
later historians have asserted, in 419.
The Pontifical Commission for the
revision Of the Vulgate, of which the
president, Cardinal Gasquet, was pres
ent at the lecture, upholds the earlier
theory and will commemorate the
event in 1920 by publishing complete
section of the work of revision.

HAVE A CATHOLIC PRESS HOUR
IN THE PARocHIAL SCHOOL 8 4.

They will buy the cheap secular
stuff by the BALE" said one of our
teaching Sisters not long ago, "and
even the incest Catholic families
seem not to mind having on their
library tables whole heaps of gaudy
story magazines. But when one asks
them to subscribe for Catholic
magazine, they consider it like a re-
quest to give for charity. Indeed, it
is actually easier to get some of our
good people to give for charity than
to get them to use the same sum to
subscribe for a Catholic paper"
Where is the beginning to be made
which will raise up generation of
sturdy lovers and staunch supporters
OF Catholic periodicals? Clearly, as
we have said many times, the begin
ming must be made in our schools.
There the children may be shown.
may study, and become familiar with,
the publications which, however
much they leave to be desired in point
OF appearance and contents, are yet
the providential means for defending
and spreading our faith. Not without
cause did the late Holy Father say
that it will be in vain to build church
es, establish schools, unless we put
about them the bulwark of widely
spread, steadfastly supported Catholic
press. In helping to teach our people
that they must stand by the Catholic
periodicals our pastors and teachers
are preparing for the future a host of
staunch and powerful defenders
against the inevitable persecution that

other. assails the Church and her in.

The better the Christian, the better

Banished Priests Return As Soldiers.
What a pity that governments the
world over fail to recognize this truth!
But they Danish the teachers of reli-
gion in time of peace, and in time of
war and distress the followers of
Christ come back to defend that coun-
try from which they were banished,
and in which they were denied the
rights OF citizenship. The priests are
dying in the trenches, and the faith
full Catholics are giving their lives for
their country, but the scoffers and
blasphemers are hiding away from
danger.
Inspiration Of Catholic Worship at
Camps.
How admirably the patriotism of the
Church has been shown in our own
glorious country by the tens Of thou
sands of Catholic boys who have raj
lied to their country's call! We are
proud of them-every one. But we
would be ashamed of them did they
forget Their first duty to God while
serving their country. What an in
spiration it must be to see so many
thousands of the flower of Catholic
Knighthood, filling every available
place at the camps assisting at Sunday
Mass! And yet with all this mani
festation of sublime patriotism, Cath
olics are obliged to bear in some in
stances the calumny of disreputable
men. Pseudo-patriots are vilifying
the religion of our boys and are striv-
ing with might and main to stir up
rancor and hatred in this hour of dan

Mr.. De Valera, NJ P, addressed a
large and enthusiastic audience at a
concert held in the Mansion House on
January 10, in aid of the Irish Repub-
lican Prisoners Dependents Fund.
Many evicted tenants, through whom
the land question had been settled,
and not by the words of the Irish
Party, had told him, he said, that they
had been neglected.
England was trying to stifle Irish
opinion, and Irishmen who were bold
enough to assert that what Ireland
wanted was to be free. The case of
the men in Mountjoy was a political
case, and they were not criminals. If
anything happened, the burden would
be on the British government. The
English propaganda of Carson and
Northcliffe, helped by such journals
as they had in Ireland masquerading
under the name of the National Press,
and, unfortunately, helped also by ar
ticles of men who ought to be ashamed
to write them in British magazines,
could not defeat Ireland's case.
Producing America.
They tried to prejudice America
again Ireland and against the Sim
Fein movement. The Freeman and
these papers were read in America,
and they announced that Mr.. Red
mond's party was the party that Mr..
Wilson should look on as expression
of the will of the Irish people-the
party which Ireland trusted in the
past. If they wanted to know why it
was that they trusted John Redmond
in the past they should look at a
speech he made in Chicago in $50,
when they thought he was honest.
''He wasn't John of the hundred
surrenders them" said Mr.. De Valera.
HE wasn't down then slithering on
his knees backwards before Carson. It
was because he held those principles,
and because these were the principles
of the Irish people who supported
him, that Ireland trusted him in the
past, and it is because he no longer
stands for these principles that Ireland
doesn't trust him at present"
Sim Fein's Answer.
T. P. O'Connor went to Chicago just
at the time the Sim Feiners went
down to Glare, and he (Mr. De Valera)
asked the people Of Glare to give an
answer to T. P. O'Connor that he
could not misrepresent and that would
be understood in America, and they
gave that answer. The principle of
the soul of the movement today is the
principle and soul of the movement
which John Redmond referred to in
$50.
There were people in Ireland today
standing by John Redmond because
they didn't want to be termed the
turncoats. If they would only remem-
Der that they were not DESERVING their
leader, but that their leader had de-
serted them; if they would only think
for themselves, and not allow their

De Valera, Sim Fein Leader, Discusses
EngIand's Fear Of Losing ireland, the
Heligoland Of the AtIantic-Ireland

The following letter from Edmond
De Valera, the Irish Sim Fein leader,
appeared in late number of the Dub
lin Freemans Journal:
England is alarmed lest the "Heligo.
land of the Atlantic" should pass out
Of her hands.
She is a good judge of what it
would mean to Germany, she who so
we'll understands what it will mean
to herself if she be allowed to retain
it. In the past she has found it more
precious than cher far distant depen.

West Indies, and these both conjoined
with her possessions at the Cape and
at Australasia with all the wide do
minions of the Moguls" because it en-
abled her to dominate Europe and con-
troll the commerce of the world.
Yes, there is no better Judge than
she of what Berehaven and Tough
Swiftly, as submarine bases would mean
to Germany-for no doubt she has of
late gloated over the calculation of
what they would mean to herself.
England is alarmed less the "Heli-
goland Of the Atlantic" should pass
out of her hands.
The Freedom Of the Seas" must

so great is the Black Sea and so az
gressive the Turk; but so small and

Good old Britannia. There is one
formula, at any rate, you never fail
to apply correctly. whats yours is
mine, what's mine is my own" And
on the terms it implies there is no
doubt you will join League of Ma
tions, accept the Freedom of the Seas
or any other partnership, in which you
will get trusting fools to join you.
Whether President Wilson is one of
that number you should surely guess
by now.
OF course, we all know that you are
not as that Hun, the German, and that
you desire your "Heligoland" so that
you might control the seas, and keep
them free as you have kept them in
the past. OF course, you never inter-
Tered with the trade or development of
neighbor nor struck down a poten-
tial rival ere she raised her head. Of
course, your Nelson's have not been as
these pirate Tirpitzs, yet for all might
one not fear this "Heligoland of the
Atlantic" as a standing temptation
to your virtue? Even the just may
fall, you know.
