THE BURNING OF CORK.

: The Right Rev. Bishop Shahau, Rector of the Catholic University, Washington, 11.5. A., in a press statement on the burning of Cork, which has attracted a good deal of attention in America, declares that it surpasses in horror and injustice the crime of Louvain. “The little academic city. of the Belgians,” he says, “was given over to arson and pillage in the name of the German Empire, and under direction of the German forces, whereupon England roused the entire world, with her passionate denunciation of the crime of the ages. Now she .has herself committed a super-crime, not in the name of any authorised Government agency,.. but in the name, spirit, and principle of - anarchy.” • ■ : ' .
