FLEXIBLE UP TO TWENTY-FIVE
MILLION DOLLARS.

The National Development Com
pany of Ireland is about to be formed
to undertake a number of enterprises,
including the reconstruction and de-
velopment of existing Irish industries,
to foster and develop agriculture and
forestry, to develop Irish ports, har-
bors and waterways and to obtain for
eign markets for Irish goods, while it
will advance money to municipal and
urban authorities at reasonable rate
of interest for housing schemes.
If the new company is conducted
upon strict business lines and does
not undertake too much at once, but
tackles each problem separately until
it achieves success. there is undoubt-
edly future for it's operations.
The leading spirit in the new COM
pany, it is stated, is P. J. Herman of
will be several members of the Dub
lin corporation, while it is also an
nounced that Lord Willoughby De
Broke is interested in the company.
The registered capital of the COM
pany is only $4,000, but the directors
will have power to increase this to
$25,000,000.
The company will afford an oppor-
tunity to Irishmen to develop and as
sist their own industries, also to ex.
tend assistance to a proposed line of
steamships to trade between ireland
and France.

ENGLISH CATHOLICS
RELIEVE DISTRESS IN OBERAM-
MERGAU-oTTILlA BAUER, "oUR
LADY" OF THE PASSION PLAY,
SENDS ACKNOWLEDGING

Some time ago the London Universe
inserted an appeal, specially for the
people of Oberammergau. The follow
ing reply has been received from Hans
and Ottilie Bauer of Oberammergau
the latter of whom took the part of
Our Lady in the play of 1910:
yesterday, Sunday, we distributed
the things among from fifty to sixty
families, and my one wish was that
you could have been there yourself to
see the people receiving them, nearly
all of them with tears in their eyes
and begging us over and over again
to be sure and write to their English
benefactors, and tell them how deeply
grateful they were. The people could
hardly believe that they were not
hated in England, for things which,
indeed, we in Oberammergau are not
to blame.
1T is among the small private fam
lilies in the village that one sees the
real misery and hunger and want 1t
makes my heart ache to sit in my gar
den and see the children go past with
out even shirt to their backs, just
a pair of trousers on, and nothing else
at all; shoes, of course, there is no
question of.
you can have no idea how it fills
ones heart with happiness to meet
with such unexpected love and kind
ness in these days when the world is
so full of hate May God reward you
all, for we are too poor now to make
any return. But pray for you we can,
and we will, and the remembrance of
your charity and bounty will remain
as a perpetual memorial to you in
Oberammergau.' &
In consideration of this truly Cath
olic spirit in England, Catholics in
America should certainly do. their
share toward ameliorating the misery
of Germany. The appeal for clothes,
provisions and money now being
urged in many churches of the land
is surely. worthy of a generous and
united response.

.L|BERTY'S CHAMPION
DE VALERA APPEALS TO sAMERI-
CAN LOVE OF FREEDOM
PRAISES OUR STAND.

Speaking in Syracuse, N. Y, last
month, Eamon De Valera said:
This great American nation, nur
tured in liberty, has been liberty's
most consistent champion. 1t has
never, been appealed to in vain. When
other chancelleries and cabinets dur
ing the last century closed their ears
to the agonizing cries of the people of
Poland, Greece, Hungary and the
Latin races, timorous of offending the
tyrants that held them writhing in
their grasp, excusing themselves by
the plea that they could not interfere
in the affairs of other states, your ma
ton, conscious of it's mission, listened
to them, and did not hesitate to brave
their oppressor's wrath in succoring
them.
What seek in America, in seeking
recognition of the republic, is that the
United States government recognize
in Ireland's case Ireland's right to ma
tional self-determination - that and
nothing more"

LOST BAGGAGE
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS SEEK
10000 SERVICE MEN WHO
"LOST" BAGGAGE-METHO OF
SEARCH.

A general invitation is extended by
the Knights of Columbus to all for
mer service men and officers of the
A. E. F.. to claim any barrack bags,
trunks, bedding rolls, suit cases and
other nondescript pieces which they
may have lost during the great
Homecoming of the 100000 Yanks
from France. Uncle Sam is at pres
ent the custodian of something like
half a million pieces Of unclaimed
personal baggage. .
What the government is now trying
to accomplish is the safe delivery to
each and every man of his lost bag
gage which, in very many cases, con-
tains some priced souvenir of the war.
Most of the baggage has been care
fully sorted out under the direction of
Colonel R. r. Pickering and staff of
army men. The Knights are coop
Grating with Col Pickering and hope
to land some several hundred thou
sand pieces Of luggage to their prop
er owners within the next month.
There are several pyramids now locat-
ed on the Hoboken piers of the gov
ernment and elsewhere.
In order to get the lost barrack
bag or trunk, the owners must comply
with the following directions: Send
all the markings and writing on the
baggage, the name Of the regiment to
which attached, and the last place
where baggage was seen either in this
country or France. Enclose the blue
stub detached from the declaration
papers and write to the knights of
Columbus, Lost Baggage Department,
4e1 Fourth Avenue, New York City.
The Knights announce that if every
soldier and officer complies with the
above directions, from somewhere in
the great mass of baggage, the lost
piece will be forwarded promptly no
matter where the owner may reside.

Two of the most active of the Prot

ment in Ireland are Ernest Blythe, an
fisherman, and Robert Barton of
Wicklow, former associate of Sir
Horace Plunkett in agricultural re-
form in Ireland. Barton was also, as
a British officer in 1916, in charge for
a time of Irish rebel prisoners, includ-
ing the man who is president of Ire

and member of the Irish Republican
congress.
Arthur Griffith, member of the Re-

Quaker. There are several other
Protestants active in the Republican

VOTIvE CHURCH
VENICE BEGINS TO FULFILL WAR
vow.

Cardinal La Fontaine, surrounded
by the civil and military authorities
of Venice, last month laid the founda-
tion-stone of the votive church, which
is to be erected on the Lido. This act
is in fulfillment of a vow, made by the
Venetians in 1916 that, should Venice
escape and should the Italian arms be
triumphant in the War, they would
build a commemorative church in
honor of Our Lady.
The cost will be betrayed by a SUBJ
scription amongst the Venetian people.
The plans, by the well-known Italian
architect Giuseppe Tore, provide for
a splendid edifce; and they have al
ready been approved.
