evils, as It has done In other countries.
This Is practically the lines followed by
the summary of the pontifical protest. Of
course cardinals and clerical newspapers
alike argue that nothing. can excuse the
barbarity of the outrage Inflicted on the
archives of the papal nunciature In Pails.
That la said to surpass In recklessness and
In Impropriety the extravagances of seml
clvllsed peoples. Of course the newspapers
are filled with lamentations to the effect
that it Is France which waa once the
model for all that waa dignified and grace

such an error.

The closing of the grotto would practically
spell ruin to this district, apart from the
serious loss of contributions made to the
church by the pilgrims.
Seven hundred thousand people visit
Lourdes every year, and they have to be

dependent upon the money expended by the
pilgrims. , If tha grotto should be closed
permanently Lourdes would be reduced to
a poor small town.
