ciples and exclusive pursuit of profit
and pleasure
Abbey Of EneeIberg.-The 8O0th an
niversary of the conservation of the
tine Abbey of Engelberg in SWitzer
land, has recently been celebrated.
The Abbey was founded in 1882 by
Blessed Conrad, Count of Seldenbur-
en-. The establishment was formerly
in the diocese of Constance, but at
the present time it is in that of Chur
1t is dedicated to Our Lady of the
Angels. The first Abbot was Blessed
Adelhelm, monk of the Abbey of ST.
Blaise, in the Black Forest. 1t was
under him that the founder of the
abbey himself received the habit, and
died there as monk In 1898 the
French pillaged the library, which is
said TO have contained more than TO-
! 900 volumes and 200 choice manu-
scripts. At the present day there is
| community of about fifty and a
school of more than 100 boys Engel-
| berg has the two-fold attraction for
| Catholic visitors of being a frst-rate
winter-sports center with large cen
| ter of Catholic activity on the spot

English Opposed to Friars.-The
Greek newspapers have published
statement to the effect that the Brit
ish authorities are opposed to Italian
friars being placed in possession of
the Cenaculum in Jerusalem, the Up
per Chamber where the Last Supper
was celebrated by Christ and His
Apostles. The care of this Holy Place
was entrusted to the King of Italy,
as representative of the former King
dom of the Two Sicilies, by a decree
| issued by the Turkish Sultan. Accord
ing to Italian newspapers the British
are not opposed to the Italian posses
sion, but have merely delayed giving
consent. Italy's claim, according to
the Rome 'Tribuna," is supported by
the Holy See, and it is confidently ex-
| pected that British consent to the Ital-
| ian possession of the Cenaculum will
be given shortly.
! To Protect Irish Survivors,
lies in Ireland are making efforts for
the protection of the thousands who
| have been left destitute as a result
of the incendiary efforts of the Brit
ish military. Nearly all the victims
are Catholics. Archbishop Harry, in
speaking of the situation, declared
that the Irish Volunteers are the back
bone of the country and the mainstay
of law and order. He declared that
the present unity of priests and peo-
pie will prove invincible. A Unionist
journal in North Ireland has published
an Interview with parsonage high
in military command, who threatens
that the present deadly campaign
will be extended and that a priests
life will be treated the same as any
(other mans. The British Chief Sec
rotary for Ireland has shocked Cath
Ole feeling by arguing that the So
called reprisals of murder and town.
burning are justifable self-defense.
Greeks Hostile to catholics.-Are
the Greeks worse than the Turks in
their attitude toward the Church?
Here is the testimony of Archbishop
| Michael Mirow, Bulgarian Catholic
prelate. 1.-THE Greeks by their recent
actions have demonstrated that they
are bitter enemies of our Holy Relig-
ion. Their boast is that they prefer
the turban to the tiara. Their schism
has poisoned the whole Orient and the
Bulgarians would be good Catholics
today were they not influenced by the
Greeks whom they fear" Mgr. Scia-
now, vicar apostolic of Macedonia,
was banished by the Greeks from his
residence at Salonika, and after four
| years exile now finds himself without
single possession. These relentless
enemies also destroyed the missions
of the Resurrectionists and Assump-
tionists in Thrace, closed the Grand
Seminary of the Lazarists near Salon
ika, and imprisoned, killed or banished
all the Rulparian Catholict nrioctc
