CARDINAL MERCER
TRIBUTE TO THE LATE ARCH
BISHOP WALSH.

Cardinal MERCER Archbishop of Ma
lines, Belgium, has sent to Dr. Byrne
Vicar-Capitular of Dublin, a touching
letter on the death of Archbishop
Walsh. His Eminence says:
THE last year of his (Archbishop
Walsh's) life was saddened and dark
ened by the tragic state of his cher
ished country. His efforts to bring
about appeasement do not seem to
have met with the success which he
was entitled to hope for; but he will
without doubt, continue in heaven the
work he had begun on earth The
loss of such man at this time is a
great blow to the Church in Ireland
and your sense of bereavement must
be UNNECESSARILY deep"

HoME-lNNocENT PRIEST KILL.
ED IN COLD BLOOD.

A recent Saturay night was a night
OF terror in Cork, following the bomb
ing of the police barracks at Black
pool. The home of Liam Roisete, Sim
Fein member Of the British parlia-
ment, was raided. He was absent. but
a priest, who was staying in the house,
was shot and later died. Patrick
.Sheehan, a Republican, who was new
ly married, was shot through the
heart.
After the shooting a sergeant and
four policemen while going for a
priest, were fired upon. Two consta-
bles were killed and another wounded.
The Roisete house occupied Sc
cluded position in Janemount. The
raiders, after surrounding the house
knocked at the door, and when ad.
mission was denied them, they broke
a window, but found it barred by shut
/ tiers. A masked man then climbed
the trellis and entered the bedroom
of Mrs. Roisete. She struggled with
the man, who dropped his revolver.
The noise brought the mother Of
Mrs. Roisete. Thereupon the man left
by the window. Meanwhile the glass
panel in the hall door had been brok

This man met the priest, Father O'Cal

Surely you won't shoot a priest,
exclaimed the maid.
There was momentary pause, anC

the priests neck, drew him close anC
shot him back of the shoulder. The

more shots were fired, breaking pic

CATHOLIC MEDICAL SCHOOLS .
PERCENTAGE OF FAILURES IN VA.
RloUs STATES FAR BELOW
OTHER COLLEGES.

The Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association gives tabulated statis-
tics of the state medical board exam
nations for the year 1920, and fur
nishes as usual, interesting and graf
flying information regarding American
Catholic Medical schools.
A table gives for each of the six
Catholic schools, Creighton, Fordham,
Georgetown, Loyola, st. Louis, and
Marquette, the number of graduates
who passed and the number who fail
ed in each state, as well as the totals
and the percentages of failures for
each school, and the totals from the
six schools concerned, for each state.
1t will be seen that % of the 35 fail
ures from Catholic Medical schools
were in New York, state which re-
Jected more than a fourth of all the
applicants it examined. On the 9TH
er hand, in Massachusetts and Con-
necticut, which were almost as exact
ing as New York, only one of seven
teen applicants from Catholic schools
| failed.
The record of the six schools in all
the jurisdictions except New York,
shows only At per cent of failures.
The reflections in this one state bring
the figure UP to 1913 per cent, but even
| this is well below the 1873 per cent
which is the proportion of failures of
all persons examined in the United
States. All the Catholic schools are
rated in Class A. In Nebraska all but

graduates of the Creighton College of

The death of Bishop Kirste, of
Mainz, after a long illness, and of

Benedictine order at Beuron, he won
the favor of the Kaiser, and was ap-
pointed by the Pope, bishop of Metz,
where he won the love and esteem of
his whole diocese and the clergy, be.
cause he desired to be and was, a
Catholic and not a political bishop.
His independence was well-known
He did not fear clash with the
Kaiser himself, as was proved when
he pronounced the interdict over a
Catholic cemetery in Fameck, where a
Protestant had been buried. He show
ed this same spirit to the military
dictatorship during the war, and did
much to relieve the sad lot of the
clergy and laity who had been Danish
ed from Lorraine 1t was due to his
energy that the French-speaking pop
ulation of Lorraine was able, during
the whole war, to hear sermons in
French and that the children were
able to receive their religious instruc-
tion in French.
Willibrord Benzler was laid to rest
in the Abbey Church of Beuron. He
will be succeeded in the See of st.
Clement, at Metz, by Mgr. Pelt, former
vicar-general of the Cathedral there.
The funeral Grafton was delivered by
his friend, Bishop Keppler, of Rotten
burg.
