The Labor victories in the London Council elections brought success to many Irish candidates who stood as Labor nominees. In Battersea no fewer than five Irishmen—Messrs. Mac Donnell, Archer, Hendrick, Moore, and O’Brien—were returned on the Labor ticket. The Irish in Battersea are a strong force, a recent mayor of the borough having been Councillor Brogan, a prominent and popular London Irishman who was at one time a member of the Home Government Branch, Glasgow. Patron Saint of Airmen. —In selecting St. Michael as their patron saint, Catholic airmen were particularly happy in their choice when their Guild was inaugurated*. Now the first stained glass window in honor of St. Michael has been erected in the Church of St. James, London, in which an aeroplane is depicted, with the inscription, “Defende nos in proelio.” Surely this must be the first time that an aeroplane is to be seen in a Catholic church! In future it may prove to be an interesting memento of the world war and the part which the Air Service played therein. ■:
