B iME ON MARRIAGE The Menace. Perhaps none of R me's teach iuga is more arrogaat or detestible to free Amerioais than those con cerning marriage. It is eeldom that an admieeiou is made iu a Romish paper which discloses the true Romish positions on this pciot as does the ft llowing quostion and answer c'ipped from Tn Catholic Northwest Progress of January 29 published with the approval of Edward John O'Dea, B shop of Seattle, in that city . Hnr it i? in all its fragrai:ce and ! ao : May a Catholic lawyer ssonre a divorce for his cUei.t? A Catholic lawyer may sdv:-cate absolute divorce whn kuow the marriage was invalid, as when it has bau so pro.:oun : 0 by competent ecclesiastical authoti ty. For jast rensous h6 may peti tioo for a divorce, not indeed with the intention of enabling his client to marry giin while spouse is living, but with a vw to ob taining civil effrots in civil -tiibu-oal. Marridge is neither con tracted nor dissolved by civil au thority. Stater's Manual, of Moral Theology in English is com mended to Catholic lawyers. Comment on the extraordinary declarations of this papal organ Pern to be guperflacus, but pie ate n te that "marriage is neither contracted nor dissolved by civil authority " Such is the poatii;L of Rime, and we find :t here re stated so plainly that no oue can fail to nnderttmd it. This states tut half of the Ron. ish doctrine in regard to matri mony, for tbey adhere just as Btrenuoffsly fo the related priiic! pie that marriage is a sanrament that can be celebrated by no au thority other thau the Roman Catholic ohuroh. That preclcdes the poesibiiitr of the papal sys tem rccoguiziug a marriage cere mojuy performed by a Protestant clergyman as the atiswr, above quoted, denies the right of a civil officer to perform the ceremony. Rome c aia8 the sole authority to bind and loosa iu miriage that the Poteritea claim in binding and loosing everything else. For un bridled audacity and unlimited gall the pretentions oi Rome have no equal. NEW HAVRN S HOIYM VIE. The Menace 44 Movies in New H-.ven on a Sunday are prohibited, but when they are ran for a worthy vend, it's diflfreut?" So says thy New Haven, Conn., Register, of Feb. 1, in telling of the Sanday picture show recently installed in the basement of St Roee's Roman Catholio Church of that oity. In an approving way the R-gis ter goes on to say that R)me has so prevailed over the blue Inws ol Connecticut as to ran a Sunday movie for revenue which had 1.000 patroi.B at its opening and cleared tvo hundred dollars net pr fib. It is said that Thcs . F. Egan, Otiief of th3 state police, approves the plan, and that the profiiss art to be ued iu establishing a paro ohial school. Now, just note the full " effeot and meaning of this teautiful :heme to get money with which to "make America Catholic " No otber picture sh' w is permitt ed in Nw Havea on Saaday ia given and tha profits collected in a building' thut is exempt from taxation. Being strictly Romish in ownership and control, it af- lords toe oest opportunity con ceivable for fathering every pep ish scheme from twisting history and misstating facts to an assault on every American ideal. No one would deny the pope's servants the right to teach their peculiar ideas provided they taught at the expense of the par tieajinv-.rested and without privi leges that are ui.ju-t to the own rs of ether shows and to New Havjeh taxpayers. Bpt this is a clear case of Rome obtaining a special privilege o financial value ou the plea that their movie is "run for a worthy end.' We dare say that there are many enterprises run in the city of New Haven for worthy ends that are not favored with a mono poly or exemption from taxation. As a matter of faot every business should be run for a worthy end than this Romish movie graft calculated to set up a papist school to the detriment of the public schools. Is there not enough American! manhood in New Iavdn and in the good old state of Connecticut to stop thin grafs? It is by just suoh contemptible beginnings that privileges undermines the equal rights of a freo people and fattens at the expense of legitimate, tax paying and law abiding citizens. Or is the Sttte of Connecticut already so thoroughly Romanized that the will of the pope and his dopes is to prevail in defiauoe of fair p!y and qnal rights? THEY ARE PQUEALER1.

London, Feb. 27. Great Brit iao, France nd their allies have advised neutral countries that they hold themselves at liberty to stop all shipping to ar d from G?r mauy and the ooantries of her allies. Public announcement of this aotion will be made early next week. The txt of the de claration will set forth that this decision is necessary because of German submarine attacks but that Great Britain and France will respect the lives of orews and passeagers in any rtepB they may take. London, Feb. 28 With Rus- siap successes in tne region 01 "Przasnyzs, North Poland, and Kolomea, East Galioia, the suc cessful progress of the operations of the allied fljet in the Dardann elles and the deoision of the allied governments to stop all shipping to and from Germany, Austria and Turkey, the war, it is believed here, is about to enter upon a new phase. While the sucoeai reported by Petrograd covers only 8 small por tion of the long front in North Poland, and the Germans have been able to record a counter suc cess near Kolno, the general im pression among military men iu London is that not only has the German effmsiva in the North exhausted itself but the tide is turning in favor of the Russians, wh", with railways at their back, have been able to bring up mote reinforcements thin the iuvaditg army, whose c mmuuioations af ter Germany territory is left, must crcsB a country of marshes andfYerfiowing rivers:- - Much mere fighting, however, must be waged before a final de cision is reached.

London, Fe'. 27 After hav ing completed the distruction of forts at the entrance of the Dar daoelles, the allied flet of British and French warships, the greatest which has ever been in aotioD,are now attacking the inner forts, which heretofore have stood be tween Turkey aud invasion by tbe sea. Apparently the outer forte could not withstand a great bom bardment aud when tbey had teen levelled and deserted by their defenders, man were landed from the ships to complete the work of demolition, while mine sweepers cleared a passage for ships in the straits. More serious work is now ahead for the all-important fortifications areatKillaa Bahr and Chanak, which gnard the narrowest part of the straits, which the fleet is approaching. There is no doubt, however, th t the allied 00m- mandeia have instructions to make their way to Constaniinople in spite of all obstacles and have been supplied wieh the best means for carrying out these orders.
