Mass for Patriots.-A unique cere-
| mOny took place in Kilmainham Jail,
Dublin, formerly a stronghold of the
British. Requiem Mass was celebrated
in the prison chapel for the patriots
of 1915 executed within it's walls. The
congregation included representatives
of the Irish army and a number of
relatives of the executed men. After
Mass a pilgrimage was made to the
spot where the executions took place.
Mr.. de Valera, addressing the assem-
blage, said: "This place is holy
ground, and as long as God gives us
life we will work for the freedom
which they died to gain for Ireland
Rev. Father Sebastian, O. S. F. c.,
who attended a number of the dead
during their last hours, recited the
Rosary in Irish.
New Separation BilI.-Both Catho-
lies and High Anglicans are stated to
be strongly in support of a new bill,
which has just been read the second
time in the House of Commons, for
Tightening up the legal restrictions on
separation and maintenance. So far
as can be understood, the new bill
does not go in the direction of extend
ing facilities for divorce; indeed, it is
strongly opposed by the Divorce Re.
form League on the ground that it
will delay laws for easier divorce. But
the bill has also met certain amount
OF opposition from those who are
equally opposed to divorce. If the
bill is passed into law, one of it's main
features-in the mind of it's proposers
will be to prevent the breaking-up
of homes, and while making for more
definite understanding in the way OF
legal separation of married couples
will not make the procedure for di
vorce any easier
