COUNTESS DOG GONE AGAIN
Nine. Cassini's Valuable Wolf
Hound Disappears Once More.
Arfstocratic Canine Is Believed to
Be MingIing With the HOi
PolI0i of the Corner Lots.

Countess Cassinfs big Russian wolf
hound. valued at 800. left in the care Of
Mrs. Won Kreuter, Of 1905 Twenty-second

asked to maintain a lookout for the val
liable pet.
During Countess CassinIs stay in
Washington the large yellow dos. which
she brought from Russia. ran away sew
eraI times. and on each occasion It was
apprehended by the police. Although
born and reared in the lap of luxury IN
I'll his avoirdupois prohibited il, the dog
was wont TO desert his royal associates
and lope of 10 the highways and byways,
where he mingled with the hoi poIloi or
CANNES Of plebeian birth and breeding.
The police believe he viii again be
found frolcking and gamboiing on some
vacant lot with his interiors, or hunting
a dog biscuit in a garbage can. He Is
said to have an Unsuitable fondness for
such sprees or escapades. In view Of the
fact that Countess Cassini prizes the
dog most highly. Mrs. Won Kreuter has
requested that the police make every
endeavor TO ascertain his whereabouts.

HIBERNIANs CONDEMN FRANCE
Declare People Are Attempting TO
Drive saviour Out of Country.

Resolutions condemning the French re-
public for conhscating the property OF
the Catholic Church were passed unani-
mously yesterday at an executive meet
ing Of the Hibernian Society," under the
auspices Of Division No ,, at the hall
of the latter division, az 90 Pennsyl-
vania avenue.
II was stated in the resolution that
the name OF the Saviour having been ex-
purgated from state schools It was now
the endeavor Of the French people to
drive Him from the country.
Several addresses were made, in which
the recent action Of the French govern
ment was severely criticised.
W. J. Spruson, a leading Catholic pub
lie man, Of Sydney New South Wales,
and a member Of the Australian Parlia-
ment, made an address At the open meet
ing on the characteristics of the Irish
race in Australia and America.
The problems, he said, which confronted
the race in Australia are largely those
which have been worked out by the
Irish-Ameriesns, and the former are no
less active and fearless in fighting for
all they hold dear.
Conditions. ne declared, differed largely.
as the emigrant to Australia was an Eng
lishman. ScOtchman, or Irishman first,
and an Australian second. In this coun-
try" he added IAN Irishman Is an Amer
lean first and at lrishman all the time 3"
Referring to the Japanese and other race
problems, Mr.. Spruson said the white
government was considered the ideal gov
eminent by the Australians and for this
reason they discouraged Monaghan and
Ethiopian immigration. In declaring that
the race problem was better solved by
prevention Of immigration than by the
segregation Of The races or other
methods. the speaker said he felt he had
the sympathy Of every American citizen.
In reference to the policy of expansion,
he said:
1t is my expectation that some day the
territory between American and AUSTRIA
will be controlled by the two republics. /
hope to live to see the day when the
American and Australian races will shake
hands across the Pacific Ocean"
Mr.. S1ruson. though q native-born
Australian. is Of Irish descent. He has
been honored by the Pope for advancing
the interests of the Catholic Church In
that country.
The election of officers was held, result
ing as follows: President, P. J. Haltigan
vice president, J. McInerney; secretary. P
Gallagher; financial secretary. ]. Nc
