buried in Glasnevin cemetery on Sun
day afternoon, August 1st.. The body
of O'Donovan Rosa was shipped to
ireland on Saturday, July II, by the
American Line Steamship Company,
st. Paul, and will be buried on Sunday
afternoon, August LIST. The Steam
ship guaranteed the delivery Of
Rossa's body to his wife in Dublin.
Mrs. O'Donovan Rosa arrived in Liv-
erpool en- route to Dublin on July 10th.
Friends in Dublin were authorized by
Mrs. Rossa to purchase burial lot in
her name. Mrs. Rossa carried with
her a letter from Monsignor Charles
Cassidy, her pastor in Brooklyn, N. ",
and q warm friend of her husband, to
the Vicar General of Dublin certifying
that the Irish patriot had received
the rites of the church, and asking for
Mrs. Rosa, the necessary courtesies
and favors. Mrs. Rosa and her daugh-

sonally signed by the Secretary Of
State, Lansing. The passports set forth

REPRESENTATIVE FiTz.
GERALD MAY LEAVE HOUSE

Political experts who have been
the New York state situation,
are inclined to believe that Represen.
tative John ]. Fitzgerald Of Brooklyn,
N. Y, chairman of the House commit
tee un appropriations. has a fair
chance to leave the House and be.
come member of the Supreme Court
of the state of New York.
The very mention of this possibility
creates great interest in Washington,
where Mr.. Fitzgerald is held in high
esteem, both as a political figure and
as an administrative head of the great
est committee of Congress-.
Mr.. Fitzgerald is a tentative candi-
date for the Democratic nomination
for the Supreme Court judgeship.
which Is now vacant by death. He
can play the game very safely, as he
does not have to resign from the
House now to run for the judgeship,
which Is the same position Senator
O'Gorman held. The nomination will
occur in September, the election in
November, and Congress ordinarily
convenes in December.
Mr.. Fitzgerald. who is one of the
best known of the Catholic members,
would be greatly missed in the House.
He Is one Of the strongest fighters,
one OF the most wonderful tacticians,
and one of the best parliamentary law
yers. He has convictions on economic
and efficient administration, and has
not the slightest hesitancy to hammer
his own party whenever the pork bar
rel is rolled into the House or wher-
ever grab is in sight.

question came before the School

to the State High School Board, that
1t was customary in the Mankato

with reading from the scripture, the

CARDINAL. GIBBONS
TAKESSSU[ N|1HuND

Brigadier General Devol, general
manager of the American Red Cross,
and Miss Mabel Boardman, in a con.
ference with President Wilson last
week, told Of the terrible conditions
existing in Mexico, and declared that
while non-combatapts in that country
are suffering for want of food, the
military leaders Of both the Villa and
Carranza factions are reaping a rich
harvest from export taxes placed upon
foodstuffs exported from Mexico.
The President, when he left Wash.
ington last Saturday for Cornish, took
with him the data on the Mexican stu,
alton, and 1t is earnestly hoped some
definite policy will be adopted to bring
relief to suffering humanity in our sis
ter republic.
1t is interesting to note the differ
ence of opinion expressed (on the
same subject) in the two following in
terviews:
John Lind, former Governor of Min.
nesota and the Presidents special en-.
voy to Mexico some months ago, who
was in Washington last week, de-.
clared that upon his return from Mex.
leo he had given it as his opinion that
it was either Carranza or interven.
tion, and he can see no reason vet for
Intervention. %
Conditions are very much better
than they were." said Governor Lind
lat the hoteD. "There is virtually
peace in Mexico now, relatively speak.
ing. Contrasted with what there was
year ago there is little trouble now.
Carranza is the only man, l believe,
capable Of restoring peace. He is cour-
ageous and honest; he set his task and
he is hewing to the line. All other
factions are and always have been
opposed to him. There is enough food
in the aggregate in Mexico to feed the
people. but it is not properly distrib-
uted.

of the horrors of war, but the Kaiser Is said to have eaten it with much gusto and exclaimed:
 "That is the stuff to make us f1ght!"
 It is well known that the Kaiser was very fond of rich game soups and these used to be served with nearly every din ner at the palace before the war. Since the shortage of food began they have been replaced by thin, watery vegetable soups on the Imperial table. Only on the rare occasions when the Kaiser has made nasty visit to his family from tho trenches have his favorite thick soups been served, in order to stamp the dinner as a great festivity.
 Although the making and distribution of bread have been strictly regulated by the Government, it appears that in some places rich people have been able to purchase wheat flour for the making of cakes and pastry. This has aroused great indigna- tion among people who were unable to afford the luxury or believe in sticking to war-bread for patriotic reasons.
 An American titled woman living in Berlin was the object of hostile demon stration because she gratified her natural taste for pastry too literally
 The conduct of those who eat cake and pastry has been scarified in popular Ger man song entitled "Tfse German Soldiers Cake Song." A battle-scarred soldier Is supposed to sing the verses. Here is one of them:

 luxury, are standing in the bread line"
 This is one of the oldest consequences of the great war, which has upset all social order and all the normal conditions of life.
 Nearly all the American girls who have married German and Austrian noblemen are now suffering from the shortage of food and especially the lack of bread. which the war has caused in their adopted countries
 Among these women are representatives, of the richest and most fashionable families at America, There is, for instance, the Countess Laszlo Szechenyi, who was for merly Miss Gladys Vanderbilt, daughter of Cornelius Vanderbilt of New York.
 She is probably the richest American heiress who has ever married a foreign nobleman. Her husband is leading nobleman of Hungary and subject of the Emperor of Austria, whose dominions are suffering more severely than any otner country in the war
 According to last reports the Countess Szechenyi was on her husbands estates at Oermeszoe, in Hungary. Communica- tion between her and her American friends has been infrequent and it is only reasonable to believe that the region where she is living is terribly disorganized' Hungary is the portion of the Austrian monarchy which now seems in most dan ger of Russian invasion, especially as 1t borders on Roumania, whose people are expected to combine with the Russians and attack Hungary.
 All the men from the COuntesss estate and the surrounding country have been summoned to the army, the oldest classes of the reserves having been called out. It is impossible to get ordinary work done and supplies of food and all kinds of necessities are lacking.
 One report cabled indirectly from Hun gary stated that the Countess was suffer- ing from smallpox This came with some other details concerning the condition of Hungary, the spread of sickness owing to the lack of sanitation, proper food and medical supplies. The Vanderbilt family positively denied the statement about the Countess's illness, but the other facts concerning the shortage of food and the Reorganization of society in Hungary were apparently correct.
 It is, of course, impossible to say just how much each of these American women is suffering from privation, but we know officially that even the Kaisers own family is on short rations and that the richest people in Berlin are compelled to satisfy themselves with the four and quarter pounds of bread per week allowed by law.
 The Kaiser's wife and family could, of course, have all the food they wished but they are setting an example of economy in order to reconcile all classes of the country to the privations which have been enforced upon them.
 The dispatches have described how the Kaiser's family were living in war times. The dinner consists of thin soup, slice l,f meat or fish, two vegetables and some Etewed fruit. Only war bread, which must contain not less than one-third potato Hour and not more than one-third wheat is put on the palace table. Some cores. bondents have described this bread as one
