The province consists of 100 pupils, 93 nurses and HO maids, all of whom have dispensed with sugar in every form since conservation was first urged by the government.

Montreal and Movies.—Following the receipt of a communication from Archbishop Bruchesi of Montreal, in structions were issued by the Mon treal Administrative Commission of Police Chief Campeau to enforce the law with regard to the admission of children to moving picture theaters unless accompanied by adult parents or guardians.

Chief Campeau was notified to warn all local exhibitors before taking ac tion and after the warning to see that the letter of the law was obeyed. On Mission of Mercy.—So anxious to help in the Red Cross drive that she refused to go home to her supper Cecilia Cross, a seventeen-year-olcl Milburn, N. J., girl, was killed one night last week as she ran into the middle of the road, holding a Red Cross automobile marker in an en deavor to sell it to a car owner. Her chest was crushed and her back was broken in such a manner that it was the opinion of physicians she must have died instantly. Miss Cross was a Catholic and one of a large family. Priest Among "Blue Devils."—Rev. Francois DeSmares, who was in St. Louis last Monday, as one of the com pany of "Blue Devils" from France touring the big cities of the United States in behalf of the Red Cross drive, was a guest at St. Louis Uni versity for an hour or more. Father DeSmares, who is thirty-three years old, was formerly pastor of a parish in Northern France. He joined the ranks at the outbreak of the war and participated in the battles of the Marne and Verdun, where he was wounded many times. OLD WORLD NEWS Basilica of the Sacred Heart.—A movement has already sprung up in France to erect a Basilica of the Sa cred Heart at Jerusalem, and a com mittee of priests and religious has been formed, and has at its head one of the vicar generals, Mgr. Gondal. The center of the work is at the Con vent of the Visitation, Toulouse. Our Lady of Pompeii.—At the Valle di Pompeii for the feast there of Our Lady of the Rosary an enormous con course of pilgrims Mas present. Vo tive offerings to the value of 30,000 francs are being added to the treas ures already offered to the miraculous image of Our Lady of Pompeii. Demoting a Catholic.—Another re version to a policy of tory reaction is indicated by the removal of Ignatius O'Brien from the lord chancellor's bench in Ireland and the substitution of Sir James Campbell, a bitter tory and Orange partisan, member for Trin ity College, Dublin. King Decorates Chaplain.—Among the officers decorated by the English king at the recent investiture was Father Henry Day, S. J., the well known preacher and writer, who has been awarded the military cross in recognition of his bravery while (lis charging his duties as chaplain with the forces in the field. Italian Bigotry.—The Hon. Deputy Longilotti has given notice in the Chamber of Italy of his intention to ask how it happens so many citizens, particularly priests, can be dragged into court on charges so easily trump ed up concerning loyalty to the coun try. Private spleen is often attke bottom of these accusations. French Churches Ruined.—^The Bishop of Soissons, who is now in Paris, described the havoc wrought in the bishopric of Soissons during the recent offensive of the Germans. He said 100 churches had been razed to the ground by the Germans and that at least 100 others had been pil laged and partially demolished. The famous cathedral in Soissons suffered severely. Returned to Church.—Sir George S. M. Thomas, Sixth Bart., was received into the Church upon his deathbed at Putney, England, by the Rev. Joseph Livesey, rector of the mission. On his father's side he was descended fro*n the same stock as St. Francis de Sales, whose signature and relics he possessed. It is not surprising, there fore, that seven members of the fam ily have returned to the true Church. 10,000 Join Church.—According to official records for 1917, ten thousand people in England who had been rear ed otherwise came into the Catholic Church, an increase of 2,000 over the average for former years. But this does not lake account of the large number of converts among their fel lows at the front. Writings of Gemma Galgani.—The Sacred Congregation has just consid ered the writings of Gemma Galgani, the story of whose wonderful life of ecstacy has been written by the Pas sionist Father Germanus—he who first brought to light the hidden house under the Church of SS. John and Paul, the Passionists' beautiful home on the Aventine Hill in Rome. Philadelphia to Pope.—The Holy Father has received a letter from the Catholics of Philadelphia, Pa., express ing their gratitude to His Holiness for having so promptly given them a wel come chief shepherd in Archbishop Dougherty. The document has caused great pleasure, not only on account of its sentiments, but because it is a proof of the wisdom of the recent change in the system of appointing American bishops, one of' the main reasons therefor being to obviate de lay. Bishop Fallen Sees Sofdiers. A dis tinguished prelate, who has been in England for some days and is visit ing Catholic soldiers in camp there, is Bishop Fallon of London, Can. The bishop may cross over to Ireland be fore he goes to France. His recruit ing activities in Canada have made him very popular with the authorities, and his mission is interesting enough without the added interest that he is said by some to be intrusted with a double mission by the British gov ernment and Rome to find a way out of the Irish "impasse." Make Plea to Vatican.—The British government has called the attention of the Vatican, Chancellor Bonar Law told the house of commons, to the fact that although France and Great Brit ain. at the request of Germany, through the Vatican, agreed not to bombard Cologne on Corpus Christi day, the Germans shelled Paris on that day. "The action of the Germans," the chancellor added, "will not be forgot ten in the event that any similar ap peal is made in the future." The Abbot of Caldey.—The Right Reverend Aelred Carlyle has returned to Caldey Island, after six months' ab sence from home. During this period the Abbot has visited many places in the United States, and has also been to the West Indies, passing through France on his return journey. He was not only able to interest a great many people in the work of his community and obtain the assistance which he sought, but he found many opportuni ties of helping British propaganda, and especially in the States what he had to say on the war conditions in England met with much sympathy, and roused the interest and enthusi asm of his audiences. Cardinal Declines.—Cardinal Lucon, Archbishop of ltheims, has finally de cided not to offer himself as a candi date for the French Academy. In a letter to Mgr. Baudrillart, Rector of the Institute Catholique of Paris! and Director of the Catholic Committee of French Propaganda Abroad. The Cardinal thanks him for the disinter estedness which made hiui willing to stand aside in his favor, and ex presses an ardent hope that the Acad emy, by opening its doors to him, will reward at one and the same time his literary merit and the immense serv ices which he has performed for the country during the war. Visits King Alfonso.—An interesting item of news comes from Spain, where it appears Prince Sixtus of Bourbon Parma, with his brother, Prince Xa vier, has been paying a visit to King Alfonso. It is understood that Prince Sixtus has giveif to the Spanish mon arch complete explanations on cer tain points of the correspondence with the Emperor Charles, of which the propositions for peace and the senti ments with regard to his German ally are perfectly well established, despite official denials. The prince and his brother have left for Havre, where they will rejoin the Belgian army, with whieh they are fighting. Procession of St. Januarius.—On a recent Sunday Naples was "en fete" for the procession of St. Januarius. The ceremony on the feast day of the saint takes place in the cathedral, but on the May feast the statue of St. Januarius and the phial containing his blood are carried in solemn pro cession through the city to the Church of Sa&ta Chiara, where this year again, after the usual prayers and litanies, the miracle was again ac complished. A little over an hour elapsed before the liquefaction of the blood of the saint. The only absentee of note was the Mayor of Naples, a Socialist, who again refused to be rep resented, although ex officio a member of the committee of honor during his term of office. Joan of Arc Honored in Rome.—In reference to a saint that is to be—if one may be allowed to formulate, con versationally, this prophecy on the happy prospects afforded by the cause —the devotion allowed already to Blessed Joan of Arc was paid in Rome, in the national Church of St. Louis des Francais, and in Milan, too, as well as in the customary ceremonies in Paris on Sunday, the day the Church assigns to her. In Rome the celebration was confined to the French people res ident in the Eternal City, but reports from Milan say that it took the form of a great demonstration of faith and patriotism, being organized by the Union of Catholic Women of Milan, and Benediction being given in the evening in the Church of St. Fedele by the representative of the Italian Field Ordinary, Mgr. Bartolomasi. v k llHSKfHOLIC BULLETIN JUNE 22, 1918 WEDDING RINGS O A N SILVERSMITH 28 East Suth Sfeet Oxford and the Religious Orders. At the moment when a section of the press is engaged in abusing the Cath olic Church and her clergy, the an cient University of Oxford goes out of its way to confer upon the Jesuit and Benedictine Halls a signal token of its confidence and esteem. Last Tuesday Convocation approved nemine contradicente six decrees, the results of which are that the two halls are now established on a permanent basis and given an enhanced status. What was "Plater's Hall" now becomes and will always remain, "Campion Ilall" and similarly "Parker's Hall" becomes "St. Benet's Hall." The decrees were introduced in a most cordial speech by that distinguished scholar, the Rev. E. M. Walker of Queen's College. Dr. MacRory Defends the Bishop#.— Speaking at St. Malachy's, Belfast, Right Rev. Dr. MacRory said there was still great ground for hope that the British government would become convinced of the futility and madness of the conscription project. Madness it certainly was, for while it would create, as had been stated, a new Western front, antagonize men of Irish blood throughout America and the British colonies, and hold England, as the champion of rights of small na tions, up to ridicule for trampling on the right of self-determination in one of the oldest nations of Western Chris tendom, it would yet furnish compara tively few soldiers for the British army. The soldiers they would raise by conscription would certainly never have their heart in their work, and would be a source of weakness rather than of strength. He defended the bishops and especially Cardinal Logue, against the attacks of certain English and Irish newspapers, and, as to the Pope, said he was as much responsi ble for the bishops' decision as the editor of the Times.
