Yesterday was Passion Sunday and had also been designated by Pope Benedict XV as a day for prayers in every Cafholic church outside of Eu- rope that the supplications of men might move Almighty God to inspire those responsible for the terrible war to use their influence to bring about pesce. In accordance with the desire of the holy father, a great proportion of the parishioners of St. Patrick’s church kept the day as Peace Sunday. Throughout the day, following the high mass, the blessed sacrament was ex- posed to the veneration of the faithful and hundreds visited the church, there to pray for the intention of the pope, that concord may prevail and the woes of war be speedily ended. The reception of the sacraments was one of the obligations enjoined by the holy father, and the number of com- municants, especiaily at the first mass at half past 7, established a new high record even for St. Patrick’s parish. The auditory, exclusive of the galleries, seats about sixteen hundred. Nearly every pew was filled and the large ma- jority of those in the congregation re- ceived the Holy _Eucharist, offering their communions for world peace. As Is customary, this early mass was read by the rector, Rev. John H. Broderick, and the assistant pasto Rev. Thomas A. Grumbly, aided in giv- ing communions. Father Broderick preached briefly on the significance of Passion week, and the earnestness and seriousness with which _ Catholics should employ the coming days before Easter, In meditation on the passion, or suffering of the Holy Redeemer. At the children’s mass at 9 o'clock there was a congregation of over 2,000 and about 600 received holy com- munion for Pope Benedict's intention. During this service Rosewig's Ave Maria_was sung in good voice by Miss Alice Murphy, daughter of Mayor and Mrs, T. C. Murphy, the organist at the Children’s mass, Miss Ruth Jordan, ac- corapanying. AL the high mass the offertory solo was the Bach-Gounod Ave Maria, well sung by Miss lsabel Petroni, the majesty and beauty of the melody be- ing well brought out in Organist Frank L. Farrell's accompaniment. Pope Benedict's prayer for peace was said at the services. Passionist Missionary Heard. At tHe evening service at the church there was again a large con- gregation, occupying practically all of the seats in the main part of the| church, with some in the galleries. The sermon was by Father Malachi of Boston, a Passionist missionary, whose_carnest and_convincing words were listened to with pleasure by his hearers. He spoke upon the les sons_that come to us from the sacred passion of Jesus, pointing out that but for the sacrifice of the Saviour our lives would be full of the agony of despair, and we would wander through the world as guilty wretches without hope of pardon. Like crim- inais awaiting execution we would tremble at every step that brought us a moment nearer to the hell where we were to suffer the torments of the damned. If hope and joy and light has come into our lives it is only be- cause Jesus suffered and as we re- PASSION SUNDAY member this and think of hdw much we owe him, what should our debt| of gratitudo be! Were this the only blessing which b come to through our Lord's sacred passion, it would be enough to merit our eternal ratitude, but He has established the church and the sacraments by which we may be practically assured of sal- vation. It is to the cross of Calva- ry that thesc sacraments owe their existence, marvellous helps to us in| our way towards salvation. We ow also to the passion of Jesus certain lessons as to what sin and hell are, and tie vanity of life and the mercies of God. 1t is the cross of Christ that teaches us these things. The sweet- est and most consoling message that the cross brings is the revelation of God's mercy. Without the cross, like the Jews of old, we would fear even to utter the name of God. But who could fear for the man who praved for forgiveness for his _executioner and pardoned the man who hung on the cross at his side? Turn your eves then to our Lord and recall the blessings He has pur- chased for You and if you have been cold and indifferent by daring to commit those sins for which He died to atone, resolve that in future you will enshrine His cross in your heart and home, giving a devotion _that shows itself in your every day life, Passion Sunday Peace Prayer. The service closed with benediction, during which the special Passion Sunday peace prayer composed by Pope Benedict XV was offered. This was as follows “Dismayed by the horrors of a war which is bringing ruin to peoples and| nations, we turn, O Jesus, to Thy most loving Heart as to our Jast hope. O God of Mercy, with tears we in- voke Thee to end this fearful scourge; O King of Peace, we humbly implore the peace for which we long. From Thy Sacred Heart Thou didst shed forth over the world divine Charity, so that discord and love alone might| reign among men. During Thy life on earth beat with tended compas- sion, for the sorrows of men; in_this hour, made terrible with burning hate, | with’ bloodshed and with slaughter, | once more may Thy Divine Heart be| moved to pity. “Pity the countless mothers in an- guish for the fate of their sons; pity the numberless families now bereaved of their fathers; pity Kurope, over which broods such havoc and dis-| aster. Do Thou inspire rulers and| peoples with counsels of meekness, | do Thou heal the discords that fea the nations_asunder; Thou who dids shed Thy Precious Blood that they might live as brothers, bring men together once more loving har- mony. And as once before to the cry of the Apostle Peter: Save us Lord, we perish, Thou didst answer with words of mercy, and didst still the raging waves, so now deisn to hear our trustful prayer, and give back to the world peace and tran- quility, nd do Thou, O most Holy Virgin, as in other times.of sore distress, be now our heip, our protection and our safeguard, Amen.” BELIEVER FOR 60 YEARS IN WOMAN SUFFRAGE. Rev. J. R. Stubbert of Putnam Tells Hartford Equal Franchise League. Rev. John R Stubbert of Putnam Baptist church addressed the memers| of the Hartford Equal Franchise league the other afternoon. Mrs. M. Toscan, president of the league in- troduced the speaker, Mr, Stubbert said that he had believed in woman suffrage for over 60 years. He said that the idea was not a new fancy but a very old principal. He spoke of the part women have played in history since the time when God fist “saw that it was not well for man to be alone,” and made Eve. Mr. Stubbert saig that he was now looking forward to the time when there would be a woman President of the United States. The speaker said that he believed that one of the chiet reasons for op- position to woman suffrage was the fear that many men had of the moral influence that women would exercise in_the body pelitic. The speaker said that up to 1901 Connecticut women were permitted no voice as to the disposal of their own children in the schools. It was only a few vears earlier that a woman in this state had nothing to say as to the disposal of her own property. Mr. Stubbert, in closing, declared that to oppose equal suffrage was to oppose liberty, equality and morality. o OBITUARY. B. B. Gardner. Benjamin B.

RUSSIAN TROCPS HAVE OCCUPIED MEMEL German Garrison Had Retired With- out a Conflict. g Again. Petrograd, March 21, 2 p. m., via London, 7 p. m.—The capture of Memel by the Russians after an impetuous charge and much street fighting is regarded generally as important be- cause of its moral effect and it seems to prove that the Germans when con- centrating upon any point are com- pelled to leave other portions of their frontier open to penetration. The forces engaged on either side in the Memel operations were not large and its strategic importance to the Rus- sians is small, since the city is iso- lated by a swampy territory along the Niemen unfitted for operations on a large scale. The retreat of the German garrison from Memel is endangered by an- other Russian column advancing from Tauroggen towards Tilsit which ap- pears likely to cut off the Germans' progress southward. This Russian column seems to have for its objec- tive a new attempt upon Tilsit. Of more importance than the occu- pation of Memel is the Russian ac- tivity on the left bank of the Niemen, where the met results of recent en- gagements has been to clear German invadersf rom Russian territory from the region of Seiny to Kopsiovo on the Grodno-Suwalki road. The last two days have seen the Germans forced back 20 miles to the west from the Niemen, Activity in the vicinity of the Narew continues and an important engage- ment occurred yesterday ten miles south of Myszyniec on the road to Ostrolenka. Here the Germans un- dertook an attack inu three columns from the Myszyniec side, but the as- sault endeq in 2 definite defeat for them. The German bombardment of Osso- wetz is continued much longer than was expected by the Russian military authorities. Today’s report indicates that the artillery duel still is in pro- gress, but it is sald that the German fire is losing force. On a recent sortie from Przemysl the garrison opened the heaviest and most_continuous artillery fire which has been waged since the siebe be- gan. Twenty thousand shells are said to have been fired in 24 hours. The reception in the synagogue hell which was attended by 200 friends and rel- atives of the couple.

To Take Places of Men in Business and Industry. London, March 21, 1.35 p. m.—More than 7,000 womenfi representing all classes of society already have re- sponded to the government's appeal for female workers to take the places of men in business and industry in order that more recruits may be pro- vided for Lord Kitchener's great army. The officers of the central labor —ex- change were besieged by women Sat- urday. The majority of them were from the well-to-do class. An out- standing feature was the willingness of the applicants to take up the line of work they were considered by the officials to be best fitted. One good weman of good position who had experience in India in the use of horses offered to drive a de- livery wagon.
