TO the Editor Siouy Citx journal,
Permit me to say few words in reply to
an article in the journal, marked "Want a
German Bishop" Some things are unqual-
iiiedly false; others have a semblance of
truth.
1t is absolutely false that there twas a
meeting of German priests in lie Mars Il
few days ago.. 1 can assur every reader
that the German priests never thought of
protesting againtS the new diocese or its
new bishop, whoever he may be. 1t is,
