WAR NEWS,

LOYALTY OF CANADIAN CATHOLICS.

An explanation of the attitude of the Roman Catholic Church in Quebec in re- gard to the war was made by Archbishop. Bruchesi at Laval University at a rucef- ing in aid of the military hospital of that institution. The Archbishop seid :—

As Canada is a part of the British Em- pire it is the sacred duty of the Canadian people to assist Great Britain in her heroic defence of liberty. This position was taken up by the Episcopacy of French. Canada at the outbreak of the war, and this attitude our Bishops still maintain. and will continue to maintain to the very end. The obligations we owe to the Bri, tish Crown are sacred obligations. It is the solemn duty of every Canadian citizen to the utmost limit of his force to stand side by side with the Motherland in a heroic effort to crush the tyrant who wishes to trample small nations and States beneath his iron heel.

BUDDHA'S REMAINS..

· REPORTED DISCOVERY AT TAXILA.

The archeological department. India, have made a discovery of extraordinary interest amongst the ruins of the ancient city of Taxila. It consists of a casket containing remaing with an inscription indicating that they are those of the Buddha himself. This is the third of the kind that has been reported upon good authority in India, the first having been borders of Nepal, and the second moro reported a good many years ago upon the recently near Peshawar.

There is, of course, always room for difference of opinion as to the authenticity of these relics, but the fact that they have been found in widely separated localities dows not prove that they are not genuine. Tho accepted story is that after the cre- mation of the Buddha the ashes were dis tributed amongst his disciples who carried them to a number of localities where they were preserved with the utmost care and eventually interred with loving reverence, The Inst set to be discovered were made ever to the Buddhists of Mandalay, but it is nut yet announced what will be done
