Show ASYLUM IN AMERICA. Expelled Sisters Desire to Settle in the United States. Home, Aug. 15. Members of religious orders expelled from France, especially especial-ly sisters, are applying to the Vatican authorities for permission to settle in the United States. Several of them have come to Rome personally for the purpose of urging their requests. A reply has been sent to them pointing out that there are no vacancies in the United States and, besides calling attention at-tention to the difficulty arising from the fact that the expelled sisters do not speak the English language, Canada Can-ada has been suggested as a better field, as sisters are comparatively scarce there and because French is spoken' in a large part of the dominion. The applicants, however, did not take j kindly to the suggestion and persist I in their requests to go to the United States. |
