PROTEST TO WILSON
DETROIT PRIESTS DENouNcE
BRITISH RULE IN IRELAND.

fBy N. G. w. G. News Service.)
British methods of warfare in Ire
land were termed "blot on civiliza-
tion''. in resolutions adopted by 230
priests of the diocese of Detroit, in a
meeting called February by the Rt.
Rev. Michael J.. Gallagher, D. D., Bish-
op of Detroit, and national president
of the Friends of Irish Freedom.
Another resolution, embodying a
protest against the order of Secretary
of Labor William B. Wilson, deporting
Lord Mayor Donal J. O'Callaghan,
successor to Terence MacSwiney, was
adopted unanimously. This resolution
declared Wilson's action contrary to
all American tradition and principle,
and unworthy of the Republic that
wrested it's freedom from the same
tyrant in equally barbarous warfare 2
Copies of both resolutions were dis
patched to Washington and to Premier
Lloyd George.

During the Lenten season, which
opened on Ash Wednesday of this
week, Mass will be celebrated dur,
ing the noon hour every week day in
the Church of St. Mary, corner of
Ninth and Locust Streets, for the ac-
commodation of Catholics who work
in the downtown section Of st. Paul
and who are not unwilling to set apart
half hour at midday for the purpose
of assisting at religious services.
The Mass will begin promptly at a
quarter past twelve o'clock and will
end not later than quarter of one,
thus allowing sufficient time for those
who wish to attend the services to
leave their respective places of en-
ployment and return thereto within
the hour. During the Mass there will
be a five-minute instruction, and the
children's choir will sing, with Miss
Abbie Miner at the organ. Those
who desire to receive Holy Com
munion during the Mass will have an
opportunity to do so.
st. Mary's Church is situated al.
most on the border of the shopping
district and within a few minutes
walk of the wholesale houses, fac
tories, railroad Offices, ETC., in which
large number of Catholics are EN-
ployed, who, it is hoped, will take ad
vantage of the opportunity to hear
Mass daily during Lent.
The Payne-Groveland street car line
stops at st. Mary's Church, and al
the cars on Seventh street pass with
in two blocks of it. Passengers on the
Seventh street lines should get off al
Locust street and walk north two
blocks to Ninth street.

CARDINAL BELLARMINE e
Present is Accepted Time.

1T pleases us to mention here that
tember, 1853, by which he assured
Cardinal Tencin, that he would not
publish the decree on the virtues of
Bellarmine, until times were changed,
added also that, doing it later and
publishing it, he would base it not
only ON the pure tenor of life and the
continuous practice of theological and
cardinal virtues but also ON the work
done for convincing heretics.' These
last words of Benedict XIV, clearly
show that he foresaw that the method
followed by Bellarmine in the defense
of truth was to be maintained, and
that to its continuators Bellarmine
himself would be opportunely propos-
ed as a model.
Let us then open our heart to the
hope that not in vain such perfect
example is proposed today to Catholic
propagandists. We would like to see
their number grow ever and ever; but
above all, we want the efficacy of their
propaganda to be assured. And it
will be so if, initiating Bellarmine,
they will prepare themselves for it
by the study of truth, drawn from pure
sources; it will be so, if spreading
their propaganda, they will care, as
did Bellarmine, to confirm the theo-
retical teaching with practical les
sons: it will be so, if, following in
the steps of Bellarmine, they will
walk in the presence of God, and, to
gain victory over their adversaries,
they will put their reliance more on
the virtue of prayer than on the force
of human reasoning"

COLLEGE MORALS
AGAINST LAX MORALS

BROWN.
(By N. G. w. c. News service).

WI u
reform Of the manners and morals
of the younger set has been inaugu-
rated by leading representatives of
the undergraduate body of Brown Uni
versity, chiefly through the medium
of the Brown Daily Herald, which has
taken strong editorial stand against
increased intimacy between the sexes
in adolescence, the loose speech and
unconventional manners prevalent
among young women, and extreme
dances. The change is made that con-
ditions complained of exist mot SIM
ply at Brown, not merely in Provi-
dence. but over the whole country"
The editorial puts the blame, in a
measure, on ''the emancipation OF
women 'EThe modern social bud, y
says the editorial, drinks, not too
much, often, but enough, smokes con-
siderably, swears unguardedly.' It
further charges she is frivolous and

The charges made by the Brown
Daily Herald in it's first editorial are
reiterated the day following, when the
responsibility is placed more directly
on girls.

"that when society becomes corrupt,
women degenerate much faster than
men, and in the end bring about the
collapse in society that wrecks nations
and civilization.
"We feel that national prohibition,
not of itself, but in the disrespect that
it created for law and the observance
of law, has had much to do with the
present state of affairs It is time to

Lie EMlNARIEs-sA -sAcERDoTAL
RECRUITING AMONG PEASANT
CLASS FALLS OFF BUT INcREAs.
Es AMONG HIGHER CLASSES IN
CITIES.
(By N. C. w. c. News service).


Inquiry into recruiting the ranks
of the priesthood in France discloses
two remarkable facts:
First, that the number of vocations
among youth of the rural and agri-
scultural districts shows decrease
while that in the larger cities is in
creasing
Second, that very large proportion
of sacerdotal recruits are military Of
ficers who went through the world
war, some of them having achieved
distinction and holding high rank.
The decline in sacerdotal recruiting
in the rural sections, the correspond
ent of the N. c. W. c. finds, is attrib-
uted to the high cost of living, which
leaves the people without the means
to support their clergy. The effect is
that the peasants who, in certain re-
gions, are daily witnesses of the pri-
vations endured by their pastors, hes
itate to encourage their sons to enter
the priesthood. especially when they
are not able to give them an allow
be mentioned the less impoverished
dioceses of Brittany, Lorraine and
Normandy.
Even before the war the French
army had given a number of priests
to the Church. Canon Crepeaux, the
present Rector of the most important
parish of Nice, is a former colonel of
"Cuirassiers," and Monsignor de Lin
cones, Bishop of Cahors, was a cap
tain of cavalry. But since the war,
there has been a sudden and consid-
erable increase in the number of mil
itary men who have begun to prepare
for the sacred ministry.
sixty-four Officers Enter seminaries.
Sixty-four military officers of vari-
GUS ranks have entered the Grand
Seminary of Paris in 1919, and GA in

graduated from the Polytechnic School,
three graduates of the Central School,
mining engineer, an inspector of
finances-this being one of the high
est Offices in the French administra-
tion-an army surgeon. and the chief
auditor of one of the largest depart
ment stores in Paris-the Bon Marche.
. A total of So of the $50 students in
this Seminary had begun professional
or commercial careers before finally
answering the call to the priesthood.
In addition, there are two working
men who formerly were members of
the General Confederation of Labor.
One of them was an officer of that So
cialist organization.
Scarcity of Vacations.
While the scarcity of vocations is
felt in the South of France, some 9TH
er parts are experiencing no difficulty
in finding numerous suitable candi-
dates for the priesthood The two
Grand Seminaries of Cambria and Lii
lie, which of late years have form
ed one organization, have now 245
students. At the Grand Seminary of
Lyons the total is now 290. Finally,
in Paris the Confans Preparatory
Seminary has an attendance of 345,
and at the Grand Seminary of st. Sui
pice at ssyles-Moulineaux, in the sub.
urbs, there are $50 students.
For want OF accommodations ad-
mission had to be refused to more
than hundred applicants Father
Tanqueray, director of the Sulpician
novitiate at Issey, said. MANY fami-
lies in the provinces have applied to
us to have their sons admitted next
year. Consequently, in the face of
such great demands, we were reluc-
family compelled to reject the appli-
cations of forty English-speaking Sem
inarians who wished to complete their
studies at st. Sulpice, among these
were some Americans and some Irish
men,"
Present conditions have brought
about a reversal of the experiences of
the past. While during the last GEN.
tury the peasant population supplied
cities with priests, it seems now that
the urban populations will hereafter
furnish villages with their pastors.
Among these vocations from the city,
moreover, there are to be found repre-
sentatives of the nobility, of the high
est Intellectual class, and of great
wealth.

Standardization OF Candles.
Another matter which came up for
consideration was the Standardization
of Rubrical candles, or rather the es-
tablishment of a definite guarantee as
to the wax content, which must, under
church law, be not less than so per
cent. There has been no secret of the
fact that many of the candles sold
as up to the rubrical standard are con-
siderably below it in the percentage
of beeswax, though there really is no
definite guarantee of that by the man.
ufacturer, the purchaser being "'sup-
posed" not to ask any questions about
lit. Analyses have proved the COM
mon understanding to be wrong in so
many instances that there is a-demand
for a guarantee by the manufacturers
which cannot be evaded, and the plan
is to make it incumbent upon them to
stamp the per cent of wax in each
candle of over so per cent, with the
understanding that any candle sold
without being so stamped shall be
known to contain less than so per
cent. of wax and to be therefore short
OF the Rubrical requirement.
There was also discussion of the
selling of vigil lights of putative

knows that If the article on sale is OF
