Head Of Resurrectionist Priests Stirs
Chicago Polish Parish.

CHICAGO. January 4.-Several hundred
leading P6lish-Amercan citizens of Chi
cago were reused to enthusiasm by a
speech of the Rev Francis Gordon, pastor
of ST. Stanislaus' Polish Catholic Church,
at a banquet Thursday night in honor
of the dedication of the new school hall
of the parish. He protested strongly
against the alliance between the United
States and Germany, proposed by Prof.
John w. Burgess In an address to the
Germanic Society OF Chicago Monday.
THE United States must never join
hands with Germany until the latter can
offer hands free from the bloody political
persecution" said Father Gordon. The
outrages committed by the German gov
eminent in it's useless attempt to Ger
manize the Polish people forbid any such
unholy alliance at present. Even the
children are prosecuted and prosecuted to
an extent which NAV well rank Emperor
William with Herod of infamous. MEM

Father Gordon is North American
provincial of the Resurrectionist Order of
Priests, and pastor of st. Stanislaus
governs the largest parish in the United
States. and possibly in the world. He
also is publisher and editor of the Polish
