A REPLY

Under most conditions it is unWise to reply to articles published in the papers, but We feel that in this in. tance htat it would be unjust for the ". C. T. U not to inform the public of the true state of affairs.
 The article from the Council notes which said that the$3 which had been allowed for the maintenance of the Rest Room would not be given in the future, may be true enough, but that it was thought the rest room was benefitting private parties, and not the public is not the case, or if it is We would like to have them sight Us.
 As to the Rest Room being used more by some parties than others. If it is the members Of the W. C. T. U more than others, it is not besause. they are more welcome, but because they know more of it. The special design of the movement is for the convenience Of the wom- en from the country, but our town women are welcome to all Us ad- yantages. The location may not be the best, but if anyone has q room better located or more convenient who will donate it's use as Mr. Wayt has done, free of charge the N. c. T. L. would be glad to know of it, and to make the change.
 If uor town is not financially able to help us in this work We are sorry there is not more money at thenr CO., mmand but if the withdrawal of this help means that they are not in sym pathy with our work, we regret 1t more than A~e can express.
 We do truly thank all those who have helped us in this work, and who continue to help by theri mon- thly payments. We would say to our country and town women, the Rest Room is not going to close, as some ol noI luBM eM pug 'luSnoql aABq feel free to come to our room; We art glad to have you. It may be that the room will be open every day in the near future, announcement will be made later. If you cant boost keep stu'-News

Rome Captures The American Army

ber of them, naturally, are Masons They
desired meeting place, and a request was
made, which in course of time came
through official channels to the Catholic
commanding general. Approved, but it
must be understood that the enlisted men
shall not meet with the officers" was the
cunning endorsement made, as he laughed
in his sleeve. The Masons are still with
out meeting place A dozen instances Of
arbitrary favoritism benefting officers
and men who are allied with the church
might be given. But we have told enough
to show how absolute is the rule of the
Church of Rome; shown how necessary that
real Americans, those who believe that
freedom of thought, of speech and free
dom of worship are the God-given blessing
of all, should arise and demand that the
church shall not interfere with our army.
And this can only be done by insisting that
church and army be separated. BY insist
ing, with your senator and congressman,
for spokesmen, that only general officers
should be sent to the Philippines who be-
lieve that their congress and their presi-
dent are greater than the pope. And as
beginning, the rule of the Knights of CO.
lumbus over the army must end, even
though the commanding general be re.
called from the Philippines!

archbishop made a tour of inspsCUion Of
the archipelago, using an army transport.
Arriving at Parang, an all-afternoon con-
ference was held with the local priest. The
next day an order was issued and soldiers
and army teams set to work hauling the
government lumber and roofing to the
nearby village, from the dock. The church
was built, an imposing structure, as
churches go in that country, and then came
the climax! Subscription lists were put
into circulation, appearing mysteriously,
among officers and men, asking for funds
for the support of the graft-built church.
Suppose an officer had appropriated this
material for his own use as quarters, or as
recreation building for his men, and it
had come to the notice of General Barry
(the strictest disciplinarian) what would
happen? Cashiered, of course. But graft
in the name of the church is not graft, they
say!

I'VE Have Corle Into Our Own"

The word soon spread among the
faithful. 1--WE have come into our own,"
joyfully whispered the loyal Knights of
Columbus, hungry for the spoils, for the
power; and possibly for revenge. And the
power was theirs. The headquarters of
the department of the Philippines was
transferred from Fort Santiago to the pal
ace of the archbishop. A new system came
into vogue, was an appointment to be
given, or a promotion made? The queS-
tion was not, "Is he competent?" but was,
"Is he Knight" The recommendation
came from the archbishop, and 10! the ap-
pointment or the promotion was made.
Did the Knights covet for brother a
position filled by an outsider" An ex-
cuse was soon made through vile conspir-
acy often and the incumbent discharged
or forced to resign, and the Knight made
happy with the job, irrespective of ability.
A dozen specific instances can be cited
if necessary. We have fought fire with fire,
and have obtained copy of the member
ship list of the Knights of Columbus of the
Philippines. We know whereof we speak.
AS long as Major General Thomas H.
Barry is in command of the Department
of the Philippines, just so long will the
word of the president of the Knights of
Columbus carry more power in the
Colonial army than does an order from the
chief of staff!
Now comes a case of graft Graft,
pure and simple, inspired and ordered di-
rectly by the commanding general, by
which the Church of Rome benefited to the
extent of the value of a church building.
A church built from government lumber
and roofing, transported by army ships
and teams, none of which cost the church
a penny. Here was the how. An army
post had been abandoned, at Malabang,
Mindanao, the Moro country. The build
ings had been dismantled and the material
shipped by army transport to nearby
post, Ludlow Barracks, at Parang, also on
Mindanao island. General Barry and the

Major General Thomas H. Barry. Born
of Irish-C Catholic parents in New York
City, and raised in the belief that the
church was all-important, that where its
interests were concerned truth, justice and
loyalty were as naught, he was an ideal
representative of the cause of the church
in the army.
Scarcely had he arrived in the
Philippines when the dread influence of
the church was felt in the army. An Incl
dent which took place shortly after his ar
rival showed the direction the wind was to
blow. A church parade, during Easter
week, replete with barbaric pomp, was to
be given through the streets of Old Man.
liza, the picturesque old walled city. More
music was needed. Comes a request from
"his grace, the archbishop, then an official
order from his vassal, the major general,
and the band of the 9Th U. S. Infantry was
ordered out to lead the procession. A pro-
test followed; then came the decree:
"Obey orders or be court martialed" And
they obeyed. The uniformed band of a
regiment of United States Infantry led the
league-long procession of candle-bearing
devotees, men, women and children; of
taper-lighted tinsel altars, waxen images
of saints; of files of cassocked, shaven
priests in their gorgeous robes of Office
The hand of the church was getting its

The Way We Were Betrayed

This is the story: On April 2, 1914,
Major General ]. Franklin Bell, command
ing the Department of the Philippines, be-
loved by Americans, foreigners and
Filipinos alike, relinquished his command
after service in the Philippines extending
over 16 years, or since the war with Spain,
in 1898. An honest, God-fearing officer and
gentleman, processing no religion in par
ticular, but with fine sense of right and
wrong and of justice, he left to take COM
mand of the troops on the Mexican border.
Up to the time of his departure no thought
of church influence or interference with
the army had been dreamed of. Now ap-
pears the hand of the Church of Rome!
The governor general of the islands
not being an active supporter of the church,
the Romish chieftains demanded that
