Catholics in America should have paro-
chial schools in all parishes where il is
| possible, and where there Is sufficient
means to render them equal to the pub
lie schools. Where it is impossible to
do this, schools should be established in
which the catechism may be taught, or
the state should be persuaded to permit
instruction in the catechism outside OF
the hours regularly appointed for ordi-
nary school subjects, as is done in Ger
many.
Zone thing is absolutely obligatory.
that is, TO found no parochial schools
unless they can be put on level with
those of the State. At present Catholics
in the United States cannot rival the
State schools, as they have not sufficient
resources. The Vatican has confidence
in the zeal and tact of the hierarchy in
America"

ROME, May 4.-The commercial treaty
between Germany and Austria Hungary
has become the topic of comment by the
press generally. In interesting Interior
consequences it bids fair to become q
matter of the greatest concern to the
people of the United States. 1t is an
nounced that Germany and Austria
Hungary have invited Italy, Switzerland
and Belgium to join in convention in
Vienna for the avowed purpose of FORM
ing coalition of central European states
against protectionist countries. 1t is not
yet known that Italy has consented 20
join the convention at Vienna. II she
should, it would seem that the political
ties of the triple alliance are stronger
than her commercial necessities, for
among her best friends, commercially
considered, are France and the United
| States.

The grip is creating sad havoc in Eng
land. AdyiceS from that country show
that the epidemic of influenza is spread
ing, and that many manufacturing con-
| Germs have been compelled to shut down
on account OF its prevalence. The physi-
clans are still discussing the visitation,
but no one thus far has been able to ex-
plain why the disease has been so severe
and widespread during the past two
years.
The apprehension felt that there would
be general strike throughout England
on May day was dissipated by the re-
suit. Perhaps the workingmen felt that
a demand for higher wages or shorter
time would hardly be justified while en-
ployers were being compelled to shut
down on account OF overproduction.
1t is stated that the steamers crossing
the Atlantic from Spanish ports to Mex

Bismarck's foreshadowing OF his course
| in the Reichstag is not over-assuring TO
the Government. He says he will not
attack the Emperor or his measures, but

policies, especially in the ease OF domestic
affairs

the lead and silver output OF that coun-
try will be still further increased during

pany was producing silver at the rate of
about 10000 OF. per week, which had
been increased by the end Of the year to
1916, 600 o., and it is estimated that this
company may produce 5000, 900 OF.
