GOD HELP THE IRISH.

The spectacle now running, like
a vast panorama, throughout the
hills and valleys, the cities and
towns, along roads and wherever
people gather in Ireland, is quite
enough of itself to wiring SYM
pathy from the average human
heart. Men everywhere are en-
dowed with the same fundamental
emotions and are stirred by SINH
lar causes: hence when a brutal
Englishman in cold blood slaugh-
tiers defenceless Irishman,
woman or child, the responsiveness
with which the murderer is viewed
by all men cannot be concealed.
That same impulse to compassion
would be aroused were the case
reversed, and an innocent English
woman or child foully assaulted
and slain. Today the world, out
side England, feels it's blood tingle
at the sight Of British atrocities
when the mills of the gods begin
grinding, much of the grist doubt

When the holy patriots went to
a glorious death at Easter, in 1916,

Let us heed the call; let us ac-

General Joseph Halter ''the De-

leader of Poland, has left for Danzig,
where he will embark directly for
New York to pay his first visit to
America. Great demonstrations are
being planned for his reception in
several American cities. Besides New
York and Chicago, the General hopes
to visit Buffalo, Cleveland, Milwaukee
and other centers of Polish-American
population, and will eventually make
trip to the Pacific coast.
General Halter, one of the first fig
ures in the new Republic of Poland,
and known for years as both a soldier
and national organizer, reached the
zenith of his fame last August when
he raised volunteer army of $4,000
in six weeks and drove the Bolsheviks

Religious and moral instruction
for children attending the St.
Paul public schools is planned by
a group of st. Paul citizens, the
chairman of which, is Rev. Fred
erick M. Eliot, pastor of Unity
church. The program urged pro-
vides instruction for children from
the fourth to the eighth grade, to
be given at stated period one
day each week. The religious in
struction is to take place in the
church Of the child's faith, and
will be done upon application by
the parents for such instruction.
1t is not compulsory. Sunday
school instruction is declared to be
too limited and such step is held
necessary for proper education of
children. Such news indicates a
move towards sane progress and
places the stamp of approval upon
the Catholic system.

barely year since an Apostolic Del

are considering establishing diplomat
ic relations with the Vatican. During
his sojourn in the Japanese capital,
Mgr. Fumasoni Biondi, Apostolic Del

Grafton and respect by the govern

turn to Rome recently, certain distin-

pressed the desire that he might re-
turn with the title Of Nuncio, in order
that Japan might CORRESPONDENCE es-

In view of the relatively small num-

of the Japanese may be considered as
a new proof of the influence and pres

Out of $26O,OOO,OOO contributed by
Ireland in taxation to the, British
Treasury only $4,000 is granted to
the university and colleges to which
four-ffths of the Irish people send
their sons and daughters. In 1908
after half century of agitation, the
Catholics secured the National Uni
versity, but now the work of that in
stitution is impaired by lack of ade.
quate funds.
Catholics feel that their university
is, when contrasted with Trinity Col
lege, which is the seat of Protestant
ism, unfairly Disseminated against
Although the income of Trinity Col
lege is $525,000 year, a Royal Com
mission has recommended that il
should be granted an annual subsidy
of $245,000 by the state, thus bring
ing it's total income up to $4,000
per annum. The income of the three
colleges comprised within the Nation
al and Catholic Universities is just
$4,000. Queens University, Belfast
also Protestant, enjoys from all
sources an income of $625,000. There
fore, the universities providing for a
fifth of the population have an income
about twice as great as that of the
university which was founded to sup
ply the educational wants of four
fifths of the people. Catholics are be
ginning to agitate' for the removal OF
this inequality.

This story comes as of date
April Is from County Limerick :
"'Ehree auxiliaries (black and
tans) in civilian clothes were
drinking at O'Donovan S bar when
another party of auxiliaries, also
in plain clothes, drove up and
rushed into the hotel. Both par
ties thought the others were mem
bers of the Irish Republican army.
Revolvers were drawn and fight
cnsued. Two of the auxiliaries
were killed and another fatally
wounded. Then, without making
inquiries, the raiding party took
O'Donoyan outside and shot him
for harboring rebels. Lewis
guns were trained on the bar
which was wrecked, and grenades
thrown through the windows OF
the hotel. The auXiliaries apollo

HEROIC FRENCH PRIESTS
HONOR CATHOLIC PRIESTS WHO
SAW SERVICE I'M WAR.

The bestowal of public honors in
France on Catholic clergymen who
saw service has continued long after
the cessation of hostilities. Recently
General de Castelnau, in the name of
the government, honored two priests
who are now "Vicaires" in the parish
of Vanguard.
One of these, who was the distin-
guished chaplain of an infantry regi-
ment, received the decoration of the
Legion of Honor. The other, who was
a stretcher bearer as well as a chap
lain, was given the "Medaille Mill
taire," distinction which is awarded
only to those who have performed
deeds of remarkable courage.
Both these priests, following their
experiences at the Front, where they
won high opinions from officers and
men, resumed obscure mission work.
1t is no uncommon sight now to see a
priest, on whose cassock appears the
red ribbon of the Legion of Honor,
teaching little children in the poorest
suburbs of Paris.

it is interesting to follow the vari-

Some Of the editors found in the

considered him pre- eminent for
his preachments Of patriotism.
There were those who lauded him
as educator and writer, those who
praised him for his broad-minded-

Few appear to have asked them
selves why he was wise in counsel,
patriotic by principle, convincing
as a writer, charitable in all his
dealings. There was a reason. and
the Anaconda (Mont.) Standard
discerned it and disclosed it in
words which should be an inspira-
ton and an incentive to every
Catholic who has set his or her
feet in the paths Of perfection.

humanity thrills at sight toI stear-
less courage and intrepidity; such
thrills were furnished at Their
mopylae, at Castelfidardo, at the
Alamo and at Clusters last stand
in each of these cases the small
forces were. practically annihi
lated, but the cause itself was pro-
portionately advanced, thus justi-
flying the sacrifice. From that
glorious Easter the world has
looked on with keen sympathy for
Ireland.
Recently the Irish sent their
chosen leader across the sea to
seek help and moral patronage.
The American people, mindful OF
Concord and Lexington, showed
ready willingness to aid nation
that had counted its sons in every
one of orr wars and victories. De
Valera was no ordinary man: out
side OF his unusual personal at
tainments, he was the president OF
the republic that, asked our help.
AS such was he received, even as
Franklin was acclaimed in France.
Scarcely had the fearless Irishman
landed on our shores, however,
when spirit of jealousy appeared
on the eastern horizon. A few,
mere handful of the kind that
sent Cronin> to a horrible death,
saw an opportunity to utilize the
Irish vote. When America
stood ready to assist the cause OF
poor old Ireland, irrespective OF
it's De Valeras or Cohalans or De-
voys, the factional hatred asserted
itself and the Irish people, in>the
person Of it's elected president,
was told to go. At once two par
ties arose where one existed be-
fore, and the president went home,
a broken man.
While the Irish question may
not be religious one, it has re-
ligious bearings: those who ask
our sympathy and help are our
co-religionists, even as are the
Poles, another splendid race.
Hence, as Americans and Catho-
lies we cannot but deprecate the
diabolical acts Of certain men,
whatsoever they may be, who
would pour gall and vinegar into
Ireland's wounds, seek to divide
and separate her friends, stifle her
appeal, and thus give aid and com
| fort to the enemy. England her
self once had her tyrannical kings
and we have had our Tories: Ire
land today is suffering from the
Vaccinations of West Britons both
at home and abroad. A few in
this country, unable to submerge
their personal ambitions in the
glory of the cause, would rather
behold Erin stretched still further
on the rack of centuries than to
see justice finally prevail.
The apostates from Ireland
those who hurled back with scorn
and derision her solemhly chosen
representative, should be inscribed
on the pages Of a Doomsday
book and handed down to poster
