There had been no previous intimation of the illness of the aged Cardinal and the news of his demise this morning at 6 o’clock caused a great shock throughout Ireland. Cardinal Michael Logue, the venerable Archbishop of Arm agh and Primate of All Ireland, the successor of St. Patrick,” strove for Irish tranquility and peace. The guerilla tactics of Sinn Fein sympathizers and thi'Jreprisalsi of the Black and Tans filled him with horror afid evoked strong pastoral letters denouncing the crimes which in 1920, brought Ireland to the verge of civil war. Exhorting the people to prayer and to avoid all association leading to crime and disaster, the Cardi nal charged that “the activities of the British military authorities are being carried into districts which htherto have been considered peace ful.” He concluded: “God help our country, moaning under ■• this competition in murder.” The ca lamities in Ireland, he declared, were greater than in the memory of any living man. Cardinal Logue was physically small, with grey hair,, ruddy fac>r and blue eyes and was vigorous and energetic despite his eighty years. He denounced the attempt on the life of Viscount French, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, in 1919 and said that the shooting of the police, was “plain murder.” When con ditions became critical he forbade political meetings-; later he received « threatening his life linal paid i visit to the tes in 1908, at the time enary celebration of the f the Roman Cathilic of New York.

Before returning home he placed a wreath on the tomb of Washington at Mt. Verm n. He also met Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller and in a public state ment praised them for their phi lanthropies. At the outbreak of the world war, Cardinal Logue said Irishmen would “stand by England” but later blam ed the government for the political unrest in Ireland. He opposed con scripttion. When the war was o ' er and the Versailles treaty had been concluded he declared “the* whole peace business is a game of ‘gr it’.” Although warning Sinn Feiners and others to heed the law, Ine Cardinal (declared Ireland was nut ruled by ordinary statutes anti, with other Catholic clergymen, tinned in urg ing freedom for that ciuntry. *Born at Kilmacrenan, Ireland, on ■October 1, 1840, he studied at May nooth and Durboyne. Ourdained in 1866, he returned to bis native dio cese of Raphoe in 1874 and was made a doctor of divinity. Two years later he became a dean of Maynooth and professor of G relic.
