A BISHOP'S PROTEST AGAINST CERMAN CRIMES.
After the great procession at Boulogne on August 20, Mgr. Lobbeday, Bishop of Arras, in the course of a sermon, referred to the deportation of 20,000 people from Lille and other towns, and to tlie protest he had made against this barbarity. Ho said: "Guardian of the eternal moral law of jjistice and humanity, it. was our duty to stigmatise measures like those of ancient slavery, which one could never have thought would have been revived amongst Christian nations. Yet wo now learn that our brethren in the north have just'suffered similar measures in spite of all conventions and the , most- sacred laws. To all thoso who' suffer such barbarity in Belgium and Flanders, iii Cambrai and Artois, we repeat the public witness of our pity; and in our own name and yours, dear brethren,' wc applaud the energetic resolution of Prance and the Allied nations who are determined to exact such compensation as may satisfy justice and prevent the recurrence of such crimes/'
