A FRENCH CASE
PAYMENT FOR MASSES LEGAL,
coNSEiL D'ETAT DECIDES -
LAW is INTERPRETED FAVOR.
ABLY TO CHURCH IN FRANCE.
BY N. C. w. C. News Service.)

(By N. c. w. C. News Service.)
The rupture of the French Concor-
date, by modifying suddenly the rela-
tons between the Church and State,
brought up SO many legal questions
that even now, Is years afterwards.
the courts are still called upon to set
tie questions of principle which re-
manned unsolved.
Recently, the Conseil fEtat, the
highest judicial authority in the coun-
try, was called upon to answer the
following question: Are municipal
ties authorized, in certain cases, to
appropriate municipal funds to pay
for religious ceremonies" The Con-
sell d'Etat answered in the afiirma-
tive.
The question came up as follows:
The municipal government of the vii.
lage of Perquie, in the Landes, appro-
priated sum Of 800 francs to pay for
Masses said at the time of the burial
of the soldiers killed during the war,
whose bodies were brought back to
the village for burial.
| The project of the Department of
Landes, who has right of control
over all municipal budgets, annulled
| the decision as illegal, on the grounds
that it was in contradiction with the
law Of 1905, proclaiming the separa-
ition of Church and State, which says
as follows: THE Republic does not
recognize nor pay nor remunerate
lany religion. Consequently, beginning
January l following the PRONUNCIATION
of the present law, all expenditures
pertaining to religious worship will be
suppressed from all government, de-
partmental and municipal budgets"
The Minister of the Interior, M.
Marraud, to whom the question was
referred, left it to the decision of the
| Conseil d'Etat.
| After a careful study of the CUES
ton, the Conseil d'Etat stated that
the law forbade the regular and per.
manent support Of religious worship,
but not the accidental remuneration
of ministers for their participation in
a public service Thus. for instance,
| the state was authorized to pay. for
religious services in the lycees, hos
pitfalls and prisons.
| The Conseil d'Etat therefore decid-
ed. that the project had misapplied the
law of 1905. 1t therefore annulled his
decree and thereby validated the vote
of the municipal council of Perquie.

HOW VETO WAS ABOLISHED

All eyes were riveted on the giant fig
ure of Cardinal Rampolla, who, with
that almost super-human self-control
for which he was famous, sat absolute
ly motionless, like one. unaware OF
what had happened.
After a few moments, the silence
was broken by the Venerable Dean,
Cardinal Oreglia di Santo Stefano
"The Conclaye,' he said, "repudiates
this intrusion" !. 1.-THE CoDelavc,'
he repeated, regulates -. !" but
he could go no further. Then, Cardi
nal Rampolla arose in all the dignity
of his splendid physique and striking
personality, and, with that cool eto-
quence for which he was noted, de-
clared II regret that a serious at
tempt has been made in the matter

RETREAT FOR WOMEN
CARMELITES OPEN HOUSE IN MA.
TloNAL CAPITAL FOR THIS
PURPOSE.

lexington Manor, one of the most
historic old mansions in the District
of Columbia, has been acquired by the
Discalced Carmelite Fathers of the
Catholic university, and will shortly
be conducted as distinctive retreat
house for women.
1t will be the first retreat house es-
tablished in the District of Columbia
and promises to be center of spir-
itual retreat and reflection, not only
for the thousands of Catholic women
of this vicinity, but. for many non
Catholics who of late years have made
it custom to practice devotions I'M
der the direction of Catholic priests.
At present, there is no similar insti-
tuition in the District of Columbia.
Announcement of the opening of
the retreat house, and of the expected
arrival of six Sisters of the Third Or
der of Mount Carmel from Spain, to
take charge of the domestic depart
ment of the house, has been made by
the Rev. Paschasius Hertz, O. c. c.,
of the Carmelite Fathers at the Cath,
Ollie university.

Home Affairs in Ireland, the Irish con-

all emigration from Ireland ought to

ONE IN ELEVEN.

The United States Census Blu
reau has just issued a preliminary
report On the subject of divorces
in this country. The figures cover
the last period Of ten years. The
number of divorced persons in
relation to, the total population of
the United States increased from
5 per cent in 1910 to 9 per cent III
1920, that is, the number almost
doubled i'll ten years.
In 1920, the actual number Of
divorced men was 235, 1884. The
number of divorced women was
more than 10000 above this to,
tai. Besides, these figures do not
include the large number of both
men and women who remarked
after being divorced. A simple
glance at this record gives a vivid
insight into the future homes Of
America.
An apparent sign of encourage
ment. is seen III the fact that the
number of married men i'll 1920
was slightly larger than in 1910.
But even this offers little ground
for relief, since the increase is at
tributed to the influx of men Of
manageable age from other
countries.
The ratio as presented by the
Census figures shows that there is
one divorce for every II mar
riages in this country. Truly is
it the land Of the { free

and bulwark of the nation it APP
pears that. the Notifications are
beginning to crumble. The steady
and persistent attack made on the

less disregard for the principles
Of morality cannot but wear down
the ideal upon which the family is
based. For the very idea Of fam
lily connotes a union Of the men,
bers In the bonds Of affection, SYM
pathy and personal regard. Where
these qualities are lacking, where
the branches are torn violently
from the parent stem and cast
about without protection, it is i'm
possible to retain the merest pre-
text of family life. Human rela-
tionships in this case are reduced
to the level of mere brute creation !:
procreation, momentary watchful-
ness, and then utter abandonment.
A child growing to manhood or
womanhood with the black spec
ter of divorce lowering over its
Weakening intellect cannot possibly
preserve even the faintest love for
| the idea of family life. 1t becomes
simply a struggle for the survival
of the strongest, with morality
and love of home thrown to the
winds.
It may be almost useless to in
weigh against these evils, but it
becomes a duty in order that Cath
olics at least may be warned of the
terrible eternal consequences OF
such a mode of living. With race
