MORE MEXICAN AUDAC|TY
MEXICAN EXECUTIVE TELLS
PRIESTS HOW THEY MUST BAP-
TIE AND ASSIST AT MAR
RAGE.

The chief executive of the state of
Nichoacan, Mexico, has of late given
an object lesson of how easily in Mex
leo any state and even local political
boss at his will and pleasure can yeX
the Catholic Church. Evidently, for
reasons best known to himself, the
governor of the sovereign and lnde-
pendent state of Michoacan, accord
ing to late reports, has issued several
DEGREES and regulations which purport
to dictate to the priests how and
when they shall administer baptism
and assist at marriages.
The Most Reverend Leopoldo Ruiz,
D. D., Archbishop of Michoacan, has
published a vigorous protest against
this unwarranted encroachment
upon the religious rights and freedom
of the people. He declares that such
an outrageous decree violates the in
alienable rights of the people, and mil
itates against the sacred freedom OF
conscience guaranteed even by the
late constitution Of Queretaro, promul
gated in 1917. Furthermore, he EN-
nhatically states that such provisions
do not bind in conscience; and thus
he warns the people not to submit tt
such atrocities, and to ignore those
uncalled for provocations.

PRIESTS FOR CHINA
THOUSANDS MORE ARE NEEDED
.. MISSION HOUSE SEEKS
CANDIDATES.

Last week the three missionaries
who left Techny, ILL.,, some time ago
were due in South Shantung.
In few months, possibly, they will
be allotted some definite large field to
work, large indeed, for what are three
more missionaries, after all, when
China could use hundred thousand
times as many! The single state of
New York has five hundred more
priests than are to be found in all
China, one to every fifteen square
miles against one to every $50 square
miles in China. Place one priest for
every $500 of the population, as is
the case in New York, and China
would require 125,OOO priests instead
of it's present 1900.
Thus there is no reason for fear
that America will be sending too
many missionaries to China in the
roar future Griv When she sends
them by the hundreds annually will
she be answering the need. The mis-
sion houses at Techny, ILL.,, and Cir
ard. Pa, therefore, will welcome all
students who earnestly desire to an
swer this great need, irrespective OF
their means.

PRISONERS OF WAR
MANY STILL IN EXlLE-INTERNA-
TIONAL RED CROSS APPEALS
TO POPE TO INTERVENE FOR
UNFORTUNATE MEN IN ST.
IBERIA.

Poland, Austria, Czecho-Slovakia
and Hungary have appealed to Pope
Benedict to obtain the repatriation of
about 100000 of their subjects who
had been prisoners of war in Siberia
and still remain there and are suffer
ing the gravest privations.
The international committee of the
Red Cross has also appealed to the
Holy Father to intervene for the un-
fortunate men. In replying to the
Red Cross the Pope said he agreed
with the sentiment expressed in the
letter, and added that he hoped no
Christian heart would be unrespon-
sive to the appeal to assist the men
in exile The Pope said he would ask
the authorities concerned to cooper
ate for repatriation of the prisoners.
The greatest difficulty confronted in
solving the problem is the great cost
involved in bringing these men to
their former homes, as they cannot
come through Russia, but must travel
by way of Japan and America or by
the Red Sea route
The Japanese emperor and govern
ment have been approached by the
Pope on the subject, since the only
feasible way of repatriating the pris-
oners is to assemble them at Vladi-
vOStOk.

APOSTOLIC SCHOOLS
FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF
FOUNDATION TO BE CELE-
BRATED SHORTLY AFTER EAS-
TER.

The tiftieth anniversary of the ini
tiation of the apostolic school move.
ment, which has furnished the world
including the United States, with thou.
sands OF priests and seminarians for
the missions, will be celebrated soon
after Easter, according to news from
France. Though the period covered
by the history of the cause has been
from 1865 to 1915, the war delayed the
celebration.
Rev. Alberto de FOresta, S. J.,
founder and father of the apostolic
schools, saw that, while those called
to missionary labors are largely poor,
their education is long and costly. So
he planned to educate poor Catholic
aspirants, charging a reduced rate if
they could afford it. and otherwise
giving it free, in little ''novitiates of
the apostolate." They were to choose
the mission to which they felt called,
writes Rev. Joseph II. Ledit, S. j.,
who reviews the movement in Ameri-
ca.
lS JcSuII VI Sl. JOSepll DIT
Ayignon, France, furnished quarters
for the opening of the apostolate
which won support from far and wide.
In 1890 the school was driven from
it's home with other French religious
houses. 1t wandered, partly in exile,
and after a while, went to Salussola,
Piedmont, Italy. and. in 1909, to Lanzo
near Turin. Here it fiourished.
Though the war called many
Fathers and Brothers and made life
difficult, the school was kept up, and
in 1918 returned to France, and now
is prospering at Thonon, near the
Lake of Geneva.
Similar schools have been estab,
lished in France, Belgium, Italy,
Spain, Portugal, Ecuador and Ireland,
whose Irish Apostolic School, Mum
gret, County Limerick, is we'll known
to American Catholics. Other relig-
ious orders formed similar schools.

CAUSES MANY DEATHS AND DE-
STRUCTiON OF CHURCHES
MANY PEOPLE DROWNED.

The earthquake which visited Mex
leo recently resulted in great destruc-
tion of life and property.
From reports so far received. it is
impossible at this time to accurately
state the loss of life, but it is esti-
mated at more than 1000. Jalapa
City, former capital of the State of
Vera Cruz, suffered especially severe
losses. Not single house was left
standing on the city's outskirts;
number of Catholic churches col
lapsed, and many corpses have been
found in the ruins.
The villages of Teocelo and Couzt-
Ian, in the state of Vera Cruz, were
virtually destroyed. Only two houses
are left standing in CouztIan and 1000
casualties, including more than 1000
dead, are reported from there.
The tower of the Church of San
Juan, at Coscomatepec, crashed in
among crowds who, after the first
shock, had assembled there to pray.
Twelve soldiers are among those bur-
led under the ruins.
Several small towns in the States
of Chiapas and Oaxaca are reported to
be completely destroyed.
The entire garrison of Teocelo was
killed or injured. The dead numbered
thirty and the injured sixty.
Virtually all the roads in the sur
rounding districts were flooded or de.
stroyed, according to the reports.
Three hundred dead are reported at
Barranca Grande, near Couztlan. The
water level at Port Barranca del Aqua
rose eighty-five feet.
