AT IL o'clock the Society of German
Priests in America, which is the eXecu-

noon the Young Mems Catholic society
met at ST. Peters hall and transacted
routine business.
The officers of the society of German
priests of America for 1898 are to elected

election the future of the movement of
the German societies largely de-
pends. 1t is said that an
effort will be made to elect Mgr.
Schroeder, of Washington. who is an
earnest supporter of Cahenslyism. 1t is
possible the work of separating the
foreign Catholics of this country
try according to the nationality
and placing an Irish, German, Italian
or Polish bishop. as the case may be,
over each group will be given new life.

dress to the Young Mems Catholic So
clety at st. Peters this afternoon,
He said he approved of the congress
and its objects, which are the fostering
of loyalty to the church and fealty to
the country. In regard to CahenSlyiSm
he said:
Il wish to say that when it was at
tempted to rOiSt foreign influence upon
the church in this country the German
Catholics stood up and said it
could never be. 1t has said this
said this would not be their
feelings. The cause is finished. The
Germans are essentially domestic peo-
pie, and domestic people are patriotic.
we who are home here must nat
urally love the United States.
and those who are naturaliZed here
learn to do the same. Nowhere will
there be found a Steadier feeling to Am
erica than among the German-American
citizens"
