GERMAN TROOPS ARE BARRED
Must Keep Out of Ruhr Region, Are
Told BY France.

Paris ris.-Semi-officia Interpretation
of the letter of Premier Millerand to
the German charge d'affaires, DR.. Won
Mayer, denying permission to the Ger
mans to send troops into the neutral
zone near the German border, is that
there is no longer any question of
permission for German troops to en-
ter the Ruhr district under any condi-
tons
1t is said that information received
by the foreign office from various AL
lied sources confirms the previous i'm
preston that the presence of more
troops in the Ruhr district is not only
unnecessary, but would be likely to
provoke fresh trouble, whereas the sit
uation now is improving.

BISHOP BERNARD WARD
B TIER OF LATE WILFRlD
WARD DIED LAST MONTH.

The death is announced of the Right
Rev. Bernard Ward, Catholic Bishop
of Brentwood ESSEX, England.
He was born in 1857, in a house
which now forms the preparatory por-
tion of st. Edmund's College, at which
establishment his father, William
George Ward-"Ideal Ward" of the
Oxford Movement-was then a profes-
sor of theology. He was brother of
the late Wilfrid Ward. 1t had been
arranged that he should follow a COM
mercial career, but temporary fail
ure of health caused the abandonment
of this project, and in October, 1879,
he became a candidate for the priest
hood. After successful mission work
at Willesden he reverted, in 1888, to
college work, and in 1892 became
President of st. Edmund's College.
He was appointed, in 1917, Bishop
of the new diocese of Essex, which
was detached from the Archdiocese of
Westminster.

SANTA SOFIA
WHAT WILL BE FINAL DISPOSE
TiON OF GREAT BASILicA?

The news, that the Turks are to
retain Constantinople has, it is said,
caused the Vatican to make represen-
tatfons to the Allies that, at least, the
Christian Church of Santa Sofa, at
present Moslem mosque, should be
restored to the religion, for which it
was built.
The Allies, it is understood, are not
at all pleased with this request, and
are at present towing the line to
Islam in abandoning the city on the
Bosphorus to its old masters. There
fore, as the appeal of the Pope would
mean another difficulty with the
Moslem world, they would fain ignore
the request of His Holiness, but fear
to do so.
Moreover, an influential body OF
English Protestants are promoting an
agitation for the restoration Of the
basilica to Christianity; and the fact
that they are taking up large col
lection for this purpose, leads one t.
fear that they cherish the intention
OF buying the great fame for their owr
cult, if such thing is possible.

BENEDicTiNE ABBEY HAS FILED
SUIT-WfLL coNTE Lam.
GUAGE LAW IN U. S. COURT IN
OREGON.

st. Benedict's Abbey, of Mt. Angel,
Oregon, has filed suit in the United
States Court, in Portland, in an effort
to restrain the state from enforcing
the recently enacted law that all for
eign language matter in newspapers
printed in that state be duplicated in
English, and to secure an order from
the court holding the law unconstitu-
tional, on the grounds that it inter-
feres with the right of free speech
and free press, and is in conflict with
section 5 of the constitution of Ore
gon relating to freedom of religious
opinion.
Attorney General George NJ. Brown,
Max Gehlar, district attorney for
Marion county. and Walter H. Evans,
district attorney for Multnomah
county, are named as defendants in
the proceedings.
In the complaint it is shown that
the st. Benedict's Abbey publishes
three newspapers of general circula-
tion and one pamphlet, all of which
would be affected by the new law
which becomes operative April 20.
There are est. Joseph's Blatt," printed
in German, with circulation of a.
900; "Armen-Seelen-Fr printed
in German, with a circulation of A.
300, and the Order of the American
Swiss Congregation OF Benedictines,
a pamphlet printed in Latin. Applica-
ton of the new law to these publica-
tions would make it necessary to sus-
pend publication because of the pro-
hibitive costs involved in the required
duplication of text matter.

VERMONT PRELATE DIES
MGR. CLOAREc WAS CLASSMATE
OF CARDINAL GIBBONS.

The Rt Rev. j. NJ. Cloarec, Vicar
General, oldest priest in the diocese
of Burlington, VT, died last week
after short illness with pneumonia.
He was a familiar figure in the life
of Burlington for so years and was
beloved by Catholics and Protestants
alike.
Coming to America from st. Sau.
veur, Brittany, France, in 1888, he en-.
tered st. Mary's seminary, Baltimore,
and there was classmate of Cardinal
Gibbons. The outstanding work of
Mgr Cloarec's life was the building
of st. Joseph's Church, the largest
Catholic church in Vermont, dedicated
June "a, 1887. In 1899 he was ap
pointed vicar general of the diocese
and in 1901 was raised by the Pope to
the rank of domestic prelate.

that the episcopal conservation will be

The Office which the new Bishop will
enter upon presents a number of diff

exercise of the highest craftsmanship.
Among them is the urgent need for a
definite settlement of the school ques.
ton. The strenuous conflicts which
Bishop Koppes had in his time with
the anti-clericals are still remembered
All the public schools in Luxembure

clerical agitation to prohibit all re
ligious education in the schools has
never slackened.

fectively the honor in which the flag
is held at st. Thomas and the inspir-
ing part which it plays in the life of
the students.
At this point the names of the St.
Thomas students who laid down their
lives in the war were read, and a
suitable tribute was paid to them by
the firing of a salute in the Armory
and by the sounding of taps.
The Rector, Very Rev. DR. Moyni-
han, in few appropriate words, ac-
cepted the flag in the name of the
College,
Archbishop Bowling brought the oc-

the Liberation of America was eff

ideas which were at that time in the
minds of the people. His Grace also
analyzed the true conception of lib
erty and touched on the work of

SCIENTIST, WHO GAVE NAME TO
"VoLTS," MAY HAVE MoNU-
MENT IN ROME.

Allessandro Volta, the father of ex-
perimental electricity, the inventor of
the voltaic pile and the man after
whom the electric volt" was named,
is to be honored with a monument in
Rome which will probably be unveiled
in 1927, the hundredth anniversary of
his death.
Alexander Volta was a good Cath
olic, as was Galvani, another who gave
his name to technical terms in elec-
tricity, who lived about the same time.
Volta did much to further Galvani' S
experiments, making Galvanism new
science, as well as advancing his own
ideas to perfection. The world owes
much to these two Catholic scientists,
Galvani and Volta. IL.

people of Vienna, Austria, has been
placed before the congress of the Ar
