new YORK TO IRELAND
ARCHBISHOP HAYES SENDS MES
SAGE OF GOOD CHEER TO
ERlN'S PEOPLE.

Archbishop Hayes, of New York,
has sent the following message to the
people of Ireland:
| hope and pray that the right of
self-determination will be granted to
Ireland. The English and the Irish
people will never mix any more than
oil and water, Sparta and Athens were
ically different in spirit. Lycurgus and
Solon were their respective lawgivers.
The laws of military Sparta would
have been entirely unsuited to cul-
tured Athens. 1t has always been the
fixed conviction of the Irish, and ex-
not and cannot be expected to have
the genius, wisdom or sympathy to
frame just and equitable laws for Erin.
Ireland has as just a claim to the
right of self-determination as any
other nation in the world. Whether
that right will be recognized by imme-
diate separation from England | do
not know. What must be done, at
least, is to give Ireland the freest and
most complete Home Rule England
broke faith with Ireland, and l must
say with the civilized world, in 1914,
by failing to put into operation the
Home Rule bill passed by Parliament.
The British Government might well
ask itself if it prefers the bullying of
Carson to the respect of millions of
Americans who help to form public
opinion in this country

PLEAD FOR ERIN

Father Cassidy, of st. Thomas col
lege, read resolutions calling on the
President to aid the Irish cause. The
plea was cabled to President Wilson
on Monday.
The resolutions read:
Whereas, the Irish people is by
right a free people, and whereas for
700 years the Irish people has never
ceased to Irepudiate and has repeat
edly protested in arms against foreign
usurpation;
"And whereas, the Irish republic
was proclaimed in Dublin on Easter
Monday, 1916, by the Irish Republican
party, acting on behalf of the Irish
people;
And whereas, the Irish electorate
has in the general election of 1913
seized the first occasion to declare by
an overwhelming majority it's firm
allegiance to the Irish republic;
Now, therefore, be it resolved, that
we, as American citizens, request that
this declaration be made effective,
and that President Wilson endeavor
to provide that no article or clause
be admitted into the peace treaty of
the League of Nations covenant which
is calculated to prevent Ireland or any
other nation from obtaining the fullest
measure of independence"

ADDRESS OF THE MOST REVER-
END ARCHBISHOP BOWLING TO
THE STUDENTS CATHOLIC AS
ISOLATION OF THE UNIVERSITY
OF MINNESOTA, SUNDAY, MAY
Students of the University:

obuoCillo VI lhC Olllf
l am very glad to be with you on
| this occasion. | have just spent a
couple of hours confirming 600 chill
dren at the Ascension Parish. l pre-
sumo that there will be a good deal of
that sort of work for me to do. l
have met an astonishing number of
children who are in the parochiaI
schools all over the diocese. The
first week | was here | was amazed
to find the Cathedral Of st. Paul filled
with children from the 9Th grade up
to the 8th grade just from the paro-
chial schools of St. Paul. On the Sat
urday of that first week had the same
experience here in Minneapolis and,
as | say, | have no doubt shall find
equal proportions all over the diocese,
and have discovered there are large
numbers of Catholics here in Mime
sofa. No doubt, Bishops in various
parts of the country have the same
consoling and inspiring experience.
They meet with great crowds in
their cities, in their churches, and in
little places where they group togeth-
er. Yet though a census would reveal
15 to 20 million Catholics in this
country, the Catholic Church in this
country is without very much infiu-
ence. Large as are the numbers of
the people with whom they deal, and
quite complete as is its organization
in dealing with it's children, it has not
yet done an adequate work, and has
not yet done adequate service in this
country in departments of higher in
tellect and departments of literary
| work such as this university stands
| for; and the thought of this country
| is not being modified or controlled
or directed or influenced as it might
| be, were the Catholics holding the
| majority or part of the influential po-
sitions of the intellectual circles of
the country. That ought to be a ter
rifying fact, but yet it is true. Because
of the position the Church has so long
! held in this country, it is hard to be-
lieve that it is more or less difficult
to keep ones faith in the intellectual
circles of the country The impress.
sion, no doubt, is quite current that
| Catholics are just a group of immi
grants, that they don't know how to
speak the language, and that they
have no intellectual enthusiasm, part
of which is justified and part not JUS
titled. AS far as they are justified
we plan to attempt to refute them.

nationality. For centuries they have
been divided among themselves.
THE outcome may be successive
cannot say In their weakness OF
numbers it sometimes looks like mad
ness for them to tempt the mighty
strength of Great Britain. Yet would
England dare to turn weapons against
them?
1T is problem of the force of pub
lie opinion in a world aroused to a
new sense of Righteousness and JUS
.tice for all men.
The Irish have been ridiculed and
kept in illiteracy and ignorance" he
declared They have been held up
to the world as benighted race, unfit
to govern themselves or to grasp the
beautiful ideals of life.
Yes, the Irish were illiterate. They
were ignorant. But nowhere in the
world has ignorance been considered
brand Of martyrdom.
The people of Ireland were kept in
ignorance because they refused to re
nounce the faith of their fathers
Time and again they were offered al
the inducements of physical comfort
and mental opportunity if they would
give up their religion, but the Irish
never sold their souls for a mess o1
pOttage."

bers, chiefly Gregorian, which were
much appreciated by the audience,

EDUCATIONAL MEETING
GATHERING WAS HELD AT MA
TlONAL CAPITAL.

Comprehensive plans for the con-
sideration of the educational problem,
which will be taken up by Congress at
the outset of the new session, we're
laid at the meeting of the American
Council on Education, held recently at
the capital.
At this initial meeting, at which the
Catholic Educational Association was
represented by Rev. James A. Burns,
c. S. c., rector of Holy Cross College,
and Rev. E. A. Pace, of the faculty
of philosophy of the Catholic Univer-
Esity of America, steps were taken to
perfect constitution and set up the
working organization. An executive
board was chosen, of which Rt Rev.
Thomas j. Shahan, rector of the Cath
olic University was elected a member.
DR.. Capen, of the Bureau of Education
OF the Department of the Interior, was
made the executive officer.

will probably be the basis for the con-
sideration of new education problems,

PROPAGATION OF FAITH
GRATIFYING INCREASE OF WORK
IN THIS DIocEsE-NINE MIS-
SION BURsEs ESTABLISHED IN
PAST YEAR.

The work Of Catholic foreign mis-
sion support continues to develop
within the archdiocese of st. Paul.
The receipts of the Diocesan office of
the Propagation of the Faith and the
Holy Childhood Association have al
ready reached the handsome total of
S18,732.02 for the present year. The
sum represents an increase of $12,-
663.99 over the receipts for the same
period in the year 1918. This year
bids fair to eclipse last year by many
thousands of dollars.
Since the first of the year several
new branches of the work have been
established, the most recent addition
to the ranks being the parish of St.
Ann, LIE Sueur, and the Sacred Heart
parish, Belle Plaine. Rev. VIM. CASH
man is head of Propagation work in
LIE Sueur, and Rev. Thomas Minogue
in Belle Plaine.
AS the work of the Society becomes
better known in the Diocese, and the
benefits Of membership better under
stood, the number of perpetual men,
berships shows satisfactory increase
Since the first of the year forty-five
persons have made complete payment
of forty dollars for perpetual member
ship, either for themselves or their
relatives, living or deceased
Another one thousand dollar burse
for the education of native priests in
the missions was founded recently
within the Diocese. The donors wish
themselves to be designated simply as
some clients of st. Joseph" This
offering is the ninth of it's kind which
the Diocesan Director has received
within the past year. Catholics of
means who would like to know more
of the Native Clergy Burse idea will
be sent a booklet on the subject upon
application to the Rev. James A.
Byrnes, ST. Paul Seminary, St. Paul,
Minn.

reception in Hibernian Hall, st. Paul.
The Archbishop declared himself to
be in full sympathy with the Irish
people in their demands for freedom,
and he urged ST. Paul Irish to stand
behind the land of their ancestors and
defend it from calumny and ridicule
in the United States.
No people Of the world have a
fairer right than the Irish to lay their
plea for liberty before the bar of JUS

Bowling, "and if they are not admit

MAKE WAR ON CHURCHES
CATHOLIC BISHOP THROWN INTO
PRISON BY BUDAPEST GOVERN
MENT-LEADER TAKES CHURCH
TREASURY.

A cable dispatch from London says
that Bella Kun has thrown a Catholic
bishop into prison. Owing to poor
health, due to the attitude of the COM
munists towards him, the bishop had
to be transferred to the prison in
frmary.
The primate of Hungary is under
surveillance and cannot communicate
with the outer world, and all other
bishops are in the same case. The
nursing sisters in hospitals, who have
been turned out, have now been de-
manded back by the doctors. The
Budapest government has had to yield
but only on condition that the Sisters
do not breathe a word Of religion to
the sick
All treasure in the churches has
been seized on the plea that it will be
placed in museums. Any article said
to possess artistic interest has been
carried off, including chalices and the
sacred vessels.

THE PAPAL DELEGATE
PLANS TO VISIT ITALY NEXT
MONTH.

1t is stated that Archbishop Bon
Zano, the Apostolic Delegate, is pre-
pairing to leave for Italy next month.
He will go to Rome, and, it is to be
assumed, will discuss with Vatican Of
ficials various phases Of Catholic af-
fairs in the United States, but the
main purpose of his visit is to see his
relatives and to take a vacation. 1t
is his purpose to remain away two or
three months.
Since coming to this country seven
years ago, Archbishop Bonzano has
not had an opportunity to go back to
Italy for a visit, and he has remained
at his post virtually without Interrupt
ton during all that time. He was
about to make the trip two years
ago wheT the war intervened.

ever, that the Holy See has not been
asked to assist in their preparation;

When the oath has been read
through by the Archbishop, the Off
ciating prelate, holding open in his
lap with both hands, the book of the
Gospels, the lower part towards the
new Archbishop, receives from His
Grace the delivery of the oath. When
the Archbishop, still on his knees,
pronounces the words, so may God
help me and these Holy Gospels the
officiating prelate answers, Thanks
be TO God" He then rises, lifts the
Pallium from the altar and lays it
upon the shoulders Of the Archbishop,
the latter still kneeling, saying:

Blessed Mary, ever virgin, and the
blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, of
our Lord Pope Benedict, and of the
