OLD WORLD NEWS

The Castle of Lourdes.-The we'll.
known fortress of Lourdes was once
occupied for short time by the Eng
lish. The Saracens held it success
fully against Charlemagne, and legend
relates that, ''the greatest soldier of
Christendom" having failed to conquer
the Saracens, they finally, through the
mediation of a priest, capitulated in
honor of "the most beautiful Lady of
Christendom"-Our Lady.
Irish in Bohemia.-The Rev. Gregory
Cleary, o. F. NJ, who came to Rome
from Dublin recently, sent by the
Most Rev. Archbishop Walsh to
search the chief libraries of Europe
for evidence concerning the Francis
can martyrs of the Penal days in Ire
land, has left for Bohemia. Father
Cleary expects to find a good deal
of matter in Prague.
Snub to Bigots.-The Corpus Christi
procession through the streets of
Leicester, England, has called forth a
protest from members of non-Con-
formist bodies and Kensitities, who pre-
sented a memorial to the Watch Com
mittee of the City Council. The Com
mittee resolved unanimously that the
protest lie on the table, one member
remarking that it's place was under
the table. This was cause of great
qualification to the Catholics of the
city.
Arman's Bouquet for Our Lady,
During the war, M. Bordes, native
OF Lourdes and pupil of the school
OF aviation at Pau, flew over Lourdes,
and, after making majestic circles,
threw, in the direction of the Grotto
OF the ASPIRATIONS, a beautiful bouquet
of the Allied colors, with the dedica-
ton, From a young aviator to Our
Lady of Lourdes."
Dominican Centenary in Ireland
Two most notable events-the bicen-
tenary of the foundation of the Do
mlnlcan Nuns in the Archdiocese of
Dublin and the centenary of their re-
moval to Cabra in 1S19-were cele-
brated recently at the Dominican Con-
vent, Cabra. His Eminence Cardinal
Logue presided at the solemn pontif-
lcal high Mass. A large number of
the Irish Bishops and an immense
gathering of the clergy from all parts
of Ireland were present.
PreIates Persecuted.-Thef alsity of
Lenine's foreign commissary that the
Archbishop of Mohilev was not pris-
oner is demonstrated by the fact that
Mgr. Ropp has, at special request
of the Pope, been set free from i'm
prisonment. At Petrograd an attempt
was made on the life of Archbishop
Tichon as he was leaving his Cathe-
dral. Before his elevation to the Rus
sian Patriarchate, Bishop Tichon was
well known in North America. The
attempt on his life was made by a
peasant woman, who has been ar.
rested by the authorities.

Outside Relief Work.-When the
franciscan nuns at Biwasaki, Japan,
cannot find place in their orphan asy-
lum or leper hospital for the poor and
sick who apply for entrance, they send
catechists into the homes of these I'M
fortunates to bring them such aid as
lies within the means of the convent
sometimes this is only bowl of rice,
a turnip, little medicine; again the
catechists wash and bind the sores
of the sick; often they can only pre-
pare soul for death. But even this
relief-all too scanty as it is-means
something to the wretched Japanese,
among whom the Sisters work, and
aims should be sent for outside relief
work.
