To Deal With Every Problem.

DR.. Quesada asserted that the intel
lectual union of America has been
somewhat loose up to the present tims
and has been Of rather negligible force
in certain sections. but he added that
this opportunity of meeting and con-
ferring with so many representatives
of all the American countries will con-
tribute to facilitate the solution Of
not a few of the questions" Of which,
he said, so many were to be discussed
at the congress that they dealt with
every problem that confronts the hu-
man mind.
'The Argentine delegation has felt"
DR.. Quesada announced, that 1t ought
to strive to make the present congress
bear more tangible and permanent
fruit" Wherefore, three projects were
to be presented later to the congress,
he said. The first proposes to confed-
crate all the universities of the conti-
nsnt for the better development Of
their organization and tendenctes. the
facilitation OF interchanges Of pro-
fessors and students and to permit the
meeting of both in periodical ASSEM-
biies." The second proposes an inter-
change among the libraries OF the
American continent Of publications and
benefit Of students. The third proposal
mains Of the ancisnt aivtliEations of
the peoples that inhabited this contir
nent before it, discovery and cembias

desire to see another grow in pros

path of conquest. but in the paths of
peace and Justice. Whenever and

.If I have correctly interpreted pam
Americauism from the standpoint OF the

with the Monroe doctrine. The Monroe

IRISH MOTION PICTURES
Commendable Project In Which Lead
ing Hibernians are Actively
Interested.

Hibernians throughout the country
and members of Irish societies gen-
orally speaking are much interested
in the movement started by Frederick
Ireland and Samuel Quinn of Chicago
under the corporate name of Emerald
Motion Picture company, which was
launched to put on the motion picture
stage the best of dramatic Irish pro-
ductions. There is no greater educa-
tor of the public in our day than the
motion picture. 1t has covered almost
every phase of life and has impaired
knowledge good and bad on whole
sale scale. Frederick Ireland, him
self born of actor parents in the city
of Dublin, is father of the idea to do
justice to the real Irish drama on
the motion picture stage.
Frederick Ireland has produced over
thousand songs and musical selec.
tions and is the author of the follow.
ing plays and musical comedies: "Ei.
leen A'Roon," ERIN Go Bragh." "Fon.
tenoy," Rogue de La Mode" "Finne
gan's Mistake" Man to Man." "Re
member Limerick" "The Unwritten
.Epitaph," "The Light Of Freedom .
~. Austin Wellington, ESQ.," my
Friend from Ireland" Count No Ac
count" Cali to the Merry" my Col
leep," Watch Your Step"
Following are some of the feature
pictures to be produced by the Emer
aid Motion Picture company: "The
Voice of Freedom Carroll of Car
rollton," "Molly Pitcher" Barry, the
Irish Sea Dog" "Old Hickory" and
"a Sprig of Green" a Gettysburg in
cident.
Surely, the Hibernian order and
other Irish societies, which have sue
cessfully combated the ridiculous
stage Irishman and the anti-Irish and
anti Catholic productions on the Amer
ican stage, may be expected to en-
Enthusiastically support the efforts Of
those who have launched this com
mendable movement for a representa-
tion of the real Ireland and the rea
Irishman on the American stage in oul
day. Organizations desiring specia
productions can get necessary infor

company at it's Chicago Offices, 301-3O;

POPE IS LOGICAL
M. j. Ryan, City Solicitor
of Philadelphia, States
Position of Pope in the
World War Service
to Humanity Key
note of German
Catholic Con-
vention

The twenty-second convention of
the German Catholic State Federation
of Pennsylvania was held in Philadel-
phia Sunday and Monday, July 11-12.
At a mass meeting in which every
seat in the Metropolitan Opera House
was filled, City Solicitor M. j. Ryan,
in his address, referred to Pope Bene-
dict as the logical arbiter in the pres
ent war.
Benedict XIV" he said, "is the
latest in the long line of Sovereign
Pontiffs. In the desperation of their
malignancy and in their program of
truth distortion to poison the mind of
America, false statements are ascribed
to the Pope and attempts made to
align him on one side of this mighty
conflict. You and l. without other re-
sponsibility than our loyal allegiance
to our country, may give voice to our
sentiments, If we will, and may be
governed therein by our passions and
our prejudices, but the Sovereign Pom
tiff is power apart and above. His
spiritual children battle in every army.
They are dying everywhere the armed
hosts face each other, and his great
heart is torn by the woes of all his
human family.
Holds Scales of Justice Even.
"He will hold the scales of justice
even and from his lips will fall no
word that will further intensity mems
hatreds and passions and so prevent
the word of peace from falling ON re-
ceptive ears in the Coming day when
that word may be spoken with effect.
with him there will be no sham
neutrality-but open-minded, forgiv-
ing, kindly, to him the war-wearied
nations will turn with respect and con.
fidence, for in him they will see
Christ's Vicar on Earth-that Christ
from whom their hearts have been so
long estranged and that Christ who
measures mans iniquities not by fal.
lible human judgments, but sitting to
the hearts core Furnishes out of the
abundance of His mercy"
Joseph Frey, one of New York's
Knights of st. Gregory, voiced the de-
mand that America stop the exporta.
ton of arms and other munitions of
war to the allies. German-Americans
are loyal, he said, but in this demand
they are only acting within their con
stitutional rights.
President Herman Voss presided
and DR.. G. P. Bruehl, of Overbrook
Pa, spoke of "The Church and the
Labor Movement" -...
Love Of God and service to hu
manity," was the keynote struck by
the speakers at the opening sessions
