CHANGE OF FACE
FRENCH CARDINALS ASK SUP.
PORT FOR GOVERNMENT LOAN
POLICY OF GOVERNMENT JUS.
TITLES CATHOLIC BACKING.
(By N. C. w. c. News seryice,o

(By N. C. w. c. News Service)
Six French Cardinals nave appealed
to the people of France to support the
new loan arranged by the Government
for the reconstruction of the devastat
ed regions and the reduction of the
present harmful imitation. This act of
patriotism on the part of the Princes
of the Church in France bespeaks
their confidence in the Government
and will give impetus to the proposal
that France restore to the clergy at
least some of the property of which
they were deprived under the Law of
Separation.
The Cardinals Appeal
After rehearsing the charges made
by the enemies of France that her
people were divided, weakened by in
dolence, and incapable of resistance"
during the war, and that they were
even now unable to ''raise their coun.
try from it's ruins" and recounting the
proofs that these statements were un-
true, the Cardinals proceed:
''We see now at the helm of the
State men whose policy has, for the
last eight months, received the
constant approval OF the two Chambers
and of the whole country They have
accepted the laborious and thankless
task of paying our war debts and of
rebuilding our fortunes. 1t is the duty
of all citizens to- help them and to
procure for them the funds indis-
pensable for the accomplishment of
their noble mission

MEXICO DEFENDS FAITH
CATHOLICS AROUSED BY WORK.
PROSELYTIZERS SPREADING
ROPAGANDA-LAY APOSTLE.
LATE SUPPLEMENTS WORK OF
DEcIMATED CLERGY.
(By N. c. w. c. News service.)

(By N. c. w. G. News Service.)
The national crusade in defense OF
Catholicity, recently iinaugurated in
Mexico, is already having far-reaching
effect among the Catholics Of that
country
Aroused by the boasts of small
armies of proselytizers who have been
conducting a vigorous and unscrupu.
lous propaganda movement for the
past few years in an effort to wean
the Mexicans away from the true faith,
there has sprung up religious revi-
val that not only promises to defeat
the efforts of the proselytizers, but
which is bringing many fallen-away
Catholics back to the fold
The Crusade, organ of the move
ment, in it's first number, published
last month, has outlined succinctly the
aims of the Mexican Catholics who
are rallying to preserve their religion.
They are fourfold: CD To defend
Catholicity against the attacks of Prot.
estantism, Socialism and Masonry; (2)
to affirm and fortify the adhesion of
Mexicans to Catholicity; CO to propa.
gate the faith among those who do
not profess it, and (4) to foster the
Christian life among individuals, fam.
lilies and societies.
The teaching of Christian doctrine,
the creation and support of Catholic
schools, the diffusion of Catholic peri
odicals and the fostering of missions,
sermons and the Eucharistic League
are the means which the defenders of
the faith have banded together to util-
ze in their struggle.
1t is pointed out by the organ Of the
crusade that one hundred Protestant
schools are now functioning in the
City of Mexico and that Protestant
churches, spiritualistic assemblies, the
osophistic centers and even schools
for children are being opened daily by
the opponents of the faith. On the
other hand, the Catholic clergy has
practically been decimated by the rev.
olution and by the recent series of
epidemics. This leaves the work
largely in the hands of the lay apos-
tolate.
Already substantial progress has
been made by the crusaders. Thirteen
schools, including five night schools
for workers have been established in
short time and twenty-one catechism
centers have been inaugurated. Thir-
ty thousand booklets on Christian Doc
trine have been distributed and forty
five thousand pages of Catholic liter
ature. Conferences have been given
in penitentiaries, in schools of correc-
tion and before social organizations.
Added to the positive and insidious
propaganda of the Protestants, Theos-
ophists, Seventh Day Adventists, and
free thinkers the crusade is combating
foul novels, cinemas, immodest fash
ions and indecent public spectacles.

BACK TO SANITY
GERMAN CATHOLIC YOUNG MEN
ORGANIZE.
(By N. c. w. G.. News Service

(By N. C.. w. G.. News Service.)
Two new stars of hope have arisen
recently among the Catholics of Ger
many. Each is in the form Of Cath
olic young mems movement, initiated
by young men themselves. The or
ganizations promise to be most helpful
in the solution of social and moral
problems that beset the nation.
One of the new organizations is
New Germany; the other is called
"Quickborn.' Their formation is the
sign of a pleasing soundness among
the German Catholic youth Included
in the aims of both organizations is
the fight against alcohol and a leading
of young men back to the out-of-door
life. In this respect the movements
are modelled on similar organizations
in other countries.
The last general meeting of Quick
born was. held in Rotenfels, while
New Germany" convened recently at
Fulda.

LORD MAYOR MAC SWINEY

he had lived through manhood and old
age and the thousand-year bondage Of
Ireland.
And still there is the cause he died
for, left. Some say that he missed the
chance of living gloriously for a cause
for which he died ingloriously. It is a
cause for which millions have lived
heroically and for which millions Of
heroes have died, and God has the
register of both and alone can tell
which did most. But who would take
a martyr from the past and make him
less than martyr?
A cause that does not breathe the
spirit of sacrifice is not Christian
cause. And the spirit of sacrifice once
born breeds myriads of living support
ers The Mayor of Cork meant moth
ing to the majority of American peo-
ple.S But the supreme sacrifice of Ter
renee MacSwiney has sent flying
across the ocean hosts of hearts eager
to learn more and give more to his
cause. And in his own land, from the
anguishing hearts of his relatives and
friends there will arise lives of purer
devotion to the freedom of ireland;
from the sorrowing hearts of his coun-
trymen will spring an enthusiasm that
will form lives of burning energy for
the freedom of Ireland. From his low
ly grave, the children of the future
will go with purpose deep in their
souls of living for, and through, and
in the freedom of Ireland!
"They shall be remembered forever
The people shall hear them forever
And let us come home to America,
the land of causes to be lived for, and
we shall find one at our very door.
Have we the courage to make the
hero's words our own and say, Before
the month of November is over, I shall
have lived to make an heroic sacrifice
for the cause that most concerns the
freedom of Catholicity today?"
The character of Terrence MacSwi-
ney's death has been a shock to those
who have formal conceptions of what
patriotic deaths should tie. This death
has not the serene majesty of that of
Blessed Thomas More or of St. Joan
of Arc. But war-making in general has
changed character, and Ireland during
thousand years of war has been
forced to try whatever means was left
to her poverty and to her condition
of extreme bondage Ireland is not
laying claims to picturesque revolt or
dramatic tragedy. Indeed, she is sacri.
ficing her poets, and in their deaths
there is no song-like beauty. But you,
o Padraic Pearse, maker of poems
and of school of young poets that
was in itself an idyll of beauty, and
Terrence MacSwiney poet, your deaths
shall send mighty rhythm like sol
emn organ tones beneath the rising
voices of every cause for freedom.

A PAPAL RECORD
NINE X. OF c. DECORATED, BY
POPE IN ONE YEAR.

His Holiness Pope Benedict XIV in
comforting the rank of Commander of
the Order Of st. Gregory the Great on
Joseph c. Pelletier of Boston, Supreme
Advocate of the Knights of Columbus,
has broken all records for the honor
ing Of Americans by comforting nine
papal decorations within one year on
members of single organization.
James A. Flaherty of Philadelphia,
Supreme knight, was first honored by
being made a Knight of st. Gregory,
and later, on the occasion of the K. of
c. Pilgrimage to Rome, raised to a
commandership. William P Larkin of
New York, William J. Mulligan of
'Thompsonville. Conn, and Frederick
V. Milan of Minneapolis, were made
knights of st. Gregory on account of
their connection with K of c. war
welfare work. Overseas Commissioner
Edward l.. Hearn was given the Am
bassadorial Star of the Vatican, and
Mr.. Pelletier, after receiving Knight
hood in the Order of st. Gregory about
a year ago, is elevated to commander
ship. For the first time in the history
Of the Vatican the Pope conferred an
honor at moments notice on the
steps of the papal throne when he
raised Mr.. Flaherty in rank.
The Order is the highest religious
recognition that can be awarded Cath
olic laymen and entities them to spe.
cial privileges at all religious func,
tions. The K. of C. officials have been
singularly honored on account of the
organizations war and reconstruction
record.

PROTESTAhTs PRAY
IN ENGLAND WITH
REGARD TO IRISH QUESTION
NoN-cATHOLicS SEEK SOLU-
TION OF PROBLEM IN PRAYER.

1t, is possible that for many long
years the Catholics alone realized that
ultimately the question of Ireland is
a spiritual issue. This spiritual sphere
has now been enlarged by the action
of the Archbishop of Canterbury, who
as leader of the Church of England,
has called upon the nation to pray for
Ireland; for guidance for those who
have to make grave decisions; for
grace to know what they ought to do,
and, finally, for further grace to do it.
How far, the nation will take the Prot
estant Archbishop's words to heart is
something yet to be seen. But the
significant fact is that the head of the
Established State Church has practi-
cally taken the Irish question out of
the political sphere and made it a
subject for prayer, both in the
churches and in private.
Here, then, are both the Catholics
and the Anglicans agreed, through
their chief pastors, that the Irish ques-
ton is subject for earnest and fre-
quent prayer But the issue does not
end here.
Canterbury Archbishop's Appeal.
Shortly after the Archbishop of Can
terbury had made his public appeal to
the Anglicans of the nation, a re-
markable appeal for united prayer ap-
peared in the English press. The
most striking passages in this appeal
are noted here:
"The state of affairs in Ireland to-
day is of such nature that every
man or woman who real
ICES it must desire to join in any hon
est effort made to bring back peace.
I'm the Name of Christ Our Lord
we appeal, therefore, to all Christian
people and to the Christian Churches,
each in it's own way-in accordance
with it's own sacred traditions-to join
in the League for Prayer for the
speedy realization of Gods purpose
concerning the future relations be-
tween the peoples of these islands,
and the settlement of all such differ
ences and Misunderstanding as divide
them.
This appeal is signed by sixteen
Bishops Of the Anglican Church; ten
of them are English, four are Irish,
one Indian, and the last the Protestant
Episcopal Bishop Of Western New
York.

Can you say how England came

Can you say how England came In
possession of Ireland In the begin
ming; also can you give the results Of
the vote for Home Rule? Is ireland
justified in proclaiming an Irish re-
public, and was the election for Home
Rule legal process as regards the
English government?
You are asking lis to outline in one
quire volumes to treat adequately. 1t
is, of course. clear as the noon-day SUN
that geographically and racially, with
all that entails, Ireland is a nation in
dependent of England. 1t is matter
of historical record that for many cen
turies Ireland maintained her inde-
pendence and her national identity.
Her history as nation dates back
beyond that of any other existing in
dependent nation, with the exception
of Greece. Ireland had the usual tur.
fulent history of the nations of eight
TO fourteen hundred years ago. She
was often invaded, and as often re-
pelled the invader. The Danes came
at the end of the eighth century and
Brian Boru expelled them at the be-
ginning of the eleventh century. The
Anglo Normans, rulers in England, in
yaded Ireland in the twelfth century
lt69-and by force of superior arms
were able to reduce much of the coun-
try into subiection. The Irish repeat
edly revolted in the attempt to regain
their freedom With the advent of
the Reformation the question assumed
a religious aspect, for England lost the
faith and Ireland never abandoned it.
BY treachery and slaughter, the Irish
earls were reduced to death Or serf-
dom and their estates were given to,
Englishmen. This was especially true

of Ulster, which to the last fought for
Irish freedom. Cromwell then ap-
peared on the scene and with butchery
and deportation compelled the SUBJ
lection of Ireland. With the passage
of years Irish patriots won some relief
and an Irish parliament was called
into existence. For many years it had
an honorable career--one of it's acts
was letter of encouragement to the
leaders of the American Revolution.
But the people never lost the desire
for freedom and, goaded by continued
misgovernment, they revolted in 1898.
They were defeated, and England
bought the Irish parliament with gold
and filed it with it's own henchmen.
This Irish parliament of Englishmen
passed the Bill of Union in 1900 unit
ing Ireland to England. The Irish
never accepted this act, which Lord
Byron called "the union of the shark
with its prey; the spoiler swallows up
his victim, and they become one and
ihseparable;" and which Gladstone de-
scribed in these words: Il will only
say that we obtained that Union
against the sense of every class of the
community, by wholesale bribery and
unblushing intimidation" Ireland re-
peatedly tried to have the act recalled.
but England always refused. In 1915
the Irish republic was proclaimed In
the first election the Sim Feiners car
ried the country by more than three
to one go to 26); and that is not the
whole story. With the Nationalists
they had more than an 80 per cent
majority. In point of law, Ireland has
an absolute right to independence; in
point of fact, it has established re-
public which is actually operating in
four-fifths of the country; the armed
force of England is the only obstacle,

AN INTERPRETATioN-R ~ REFLEc-
TIVE ON DEATH AND HERolsMl
OF LATE LORD MAYOR OF CORK.

(From Visitation Convent, st. Paul.)
Michael: what was it brought him
to his death?'
The Poor Old Woman: "He died for
love of me; many man has died
for love of me-
Cathleen Nj Hoolihan.
And now another has left his bride
and his babe and his young life and.
some say, his cause, and has followed
the Poor Old Woman. And whoever
is looking for deep true meaning Of
the strange death of Lord Mayor Ter
renee MacSwiney will fine, it all in
beautiful symbolism in the drama of
w. B. Yeats The swift breath of
heroism flies at us from that bit of
patriotic mysticism, and we begin to
realize that people who possess such
vast culture in spiritual meanings see
deep truth in what seems to us fam
tastic, and live in the hard, sad hero
ism that fashions tales of delight for
us. Enough good bread and first long
sleep and mountain air and swift going
from place to distant place are the real
things with us. But it is not so with
the young lovers of the Poor Old Wom-
an-''Some that died hundreds of
years ago, and there are some that
will die tomorrow" Lord Mayor Ter
renee MacSwiney is one of those con.
secrated by death to the love of Ire
land. The simple statement of his
tragedy is, better to starve than to
live dishonored." And we rejoice that
honor still is more real to some in the
world today than the dear utilities of
life.
What wonder if this young seer who
felt himself one with the old past of
his poor country, dreaming long and
seeing much in that thousand-year
starvation of his motherland, thought,
eff she has done so much for honor's
sake l will bear her burden few
days." Ireland, the Mother, has been
starving not only from the dearth of
bread; but anguish has eaten into her
vitals, and paled her blood, and caused
many death because she has been
deprived of her own noble language
and literature, free nationhood devei-
opment, and the liberty of education
in the true Faith. She cries out in
the keen lament of the Poor Old Wom-
an, 'They that had red cheeks will
have pale cheeks for my sake, and for
all that they will think they are well
paid" When Terrence MacSwiney
took the fate of his thirty years into
his own hands and declared, Il shall
be free, alive or dead within month
