NUNS REGISTERING AS
ALIENS GIVEN CONCESSION


Considerable anxiety prevailed
among the Sisterhoods of the country
regarding the regulations of the regis
tration of German alien women. Ac.
cording to the provisions of the law,
registrants in cities were required to
present themselves at the police sta
lions to be enrolled, and to furnish
photographs with their heads and
necks exposed.
Catholics will readily understand
the superlative embarrassment the en-
forcement of the law would cause
among the members of Catholic reli.
gious communities, as the members
OF these communities by the religious
requirements that obtain are not per.
mitted to uncover their heads in the
presence Of strangers.
To correct this situation, insofar as
it relates to st. Louis, efforts were at
once undertaken, with the result that
the law was modified. Through cor
respondence with the Department of
Justice, the U. s. marshal for that dis
trict, acting under instructions, took
the matter UP with the local police

FRANK r. CULLEN IN NATIONAL
SERVICE


Mr.. Frank R. Cullen, the we'll known
Minneapolis insurance man, has re-
sponded to the call of Uncle Sam for
national service, having taken the re-
sponsible position of Government In
spector of Pay Rolls of the Construc-
ton quartermaster at the Philadelphia
ship yards. Before receiving this ap-
pointment he spent several months in
the service at Camp Custer, Battle
Greek, Mich. Mr.: Cullen is a cousin
of Edwin Hurley, the head of the de-
partment of ship construction. It is
not unlikely that Mr.. Cullen's high
business qualifications and strict in
tegrity will be recognized in even
further promotion in the service. His
numerous Minneapolis friends and as
sociates will rejoice in his distinguish
ed success. He is member of the
Hennepin-Minneapolis Council of the
Knights Of Columbus, and while in
the city one of its most active and
enterprising members. His wife, Mrs.
Kathryn Cullen, who is in business
here, still retains her residence in the
city.

DEVELOPMENT OF IRISH PEAT
INDUSTRY.
Question of the Utilization of Irish
Peat Deposits Again Brought For
ward by Irish Fuel Controller and
Irish Peat Inquiry Committee.

In view of the shortage of coal in
this country, the advice given to the
Irish public by the Fuel Controller to
use more turf, and the recent sittings
of the Irish Peat Inquiry Committee,
the question of the utilization of the
Irish peat deposits possesses a prac-
tical interest for our people. The re-
port of the Peat Committee has now
for some weeks been in the hands of
the Government, and it is not unrea-
sonable to expect, in view of the
urgency and Importance of the fuel
problem, that the recommendations
made should receive immediate con-
sideration.
Three Million Acres Bog.
1t is interesting to note that one
seventh of the surface of Ireland, or
approximately three million acres, is
covered by bog. Many hundred mil
lion tons of peat are accordingly avail
able for consumption. The supply, it
is stated by experts, would, in addi-
ton to what we are using at present,
be sufficient to replace the four and
a half million tons of coal at present
imported into the country annually for
the next two or three hundred years.
About five million tons Of peat are cut
annually in Ireland for domestic pur-
poses, and that quantity is likely to
be largely increased this year If labor
is available for the purpose.
Substituting Peat for Coal.
At the present moment, owing to the
shortage of tonnage, it is of the ut
most Importance to substitute peat

for coal wherever possible. The De-
partment of Agriculture have recently
communicated with local committees
throughout Ireland, urging them to use
every means to increase the cutting
of peat by those holding turbary
rights.
1t has been ascertained that peat
has a heating power of from half to
two-thirds of coal. In consequence of
it's friable character, and its bulk as
compared with coal, it is clear that
peat should not be transported, but
dealt with on the bog, being there
converted into electrical power in
which form it could be transmitted to
a distance with the minimum of loss.

1t seems quite certain that France
will resume friendly relations with
the Vatican. For century France
prosecuted the Church of God. An
infidel government seized churches
schools and converts, drove priests
and nuns from the country, and put
impossible conditions upon ecclesias
tical authorities. With the outbreak
of the war France began to see a
light. She saw need of those exiled
priests and religious. Today they are
welcome in France. The priests have
shown that the Catholic is genuine
patriot. They have gone to the front
thousands of them bearing arms fol-
their beloved France, while others are
there to administer the Sacrements OF
Christ to the dying defenders of their
country. The ministering angels OF
Gods mercy are again in the hospitals
or on the battle field to give succol

in France. The French people ad

that justice be done these noble men
