The Holy PIaces.--His Holiness, the
Pope, in his Allocution at the recent
Consistory, said it would be great
grief TO the Holy See if, in Palestine,
the preponderating position were Civ
en- to infidels. and. yet more, if the
Holy Places in Palestine were given
to a non Christian Power.

rent issue of the Acta Apostolicae
Sedis contains letter from the Pope
to Monsignor Arthur Hinsley, rector of
the English College, Rome, on the CEN
| tenary Of the refounding Of the col

con, which was celebrated last Deem
| Der. His Holiness appeals to the
Bishops and the faithful in England
to help the college out of it's financial
difficulties which war prices have &C.

! Press Association quotes Cardinal Luz
con on the occasion of the visit of

Another Heroic Priest. - Father
Paul Ferrand, of Montreal, recently
returned to this country on the trans
port Niagara. He had served with
the 154th Division of the French army.

Anti-Conscription Fund.-The idea
of using the remains of the anti-cOn-
scription fund in Ireland for a great
memorial to Our Lady of Lourdes has
fallen through. In some counties the
money is still in hand, and there is a
division of opinion as to how it should
be used; in others it has already been
returned to the donors, as far as this
was practicable. There was also a
proposition that it should be used to
build the much-dreamed-of cathedral
for Dublin, but here again jealousies
came in and prevented their realiza-
ton of the project, so that it would
seem as though a fine fund, which
might have been put to very good
uses, is to be frittered away.

letter to his priests, asking all to do
their best. He pointed out at the
same time that it was the first time
anyone from Armagh had been raised
to the Church's affairs since the days
of St. Malachy, and the first time an
Irishman has been canoniZed since
the days of ST. Lawrence O'Toole
There now remains only the final
ceremony of beatification after which
an Office and a Mass will be given to
the Irish Martyrs.

of men aided in the removal of the
mass from the railway station of Tras-

where the block was deposited near

upon it for the next two years.
