DOES ROME RULE

Only the strenuous protest of Cardin-
al Gibbons and other Catholic dignitar-
les is holding President Wilson back,
according to Mexican correspondent
who processes to have inside informa-
tion relative to affairs in that country,
from recognizing General Venustian
Carranza as head of the Mexican gov
ernment.
Carranza's treatment of Catholic
priests and the Catholic church as an
organization has aroused the enmity Of
the United States Catholics. They
have frequently asked the administra-
tion to intercede with Carranza in their
behalf, and the administration has COM
piled with each request.
On the other hand, Carranza has de-
clared that he is attempting to break
up the connection between church and
state in Mexico, and establish religious
freedom. Because of this policy, he has
won to him several Protestant organic
ations, including the Methodists, who
are just as eager to have the admins
tration extend him recognition as the
Catholics are to prevent it.

ACCORDING TO RIGHT AND DUTY

ACCORDING TO RIGHT AND DUTY
In commenting on President Wilson's
note, the TagIiche Rmndscha1, another
influential German paper, says:
Owing to the presence on board the
Lusitdnia of ammunition which menaced
the lives of many thousand German
soldiers, it was not only Germany's right
but her duty to sink this auxiliary
cruiser, which was bringing ammuni-
tion to England and using American
citizens as a shield for carrying con-
traband
"More sacred than the lives Of neu-
tral are the lives of our compatriots,
our brave soldiers who would long since
have ended the war if America had not
prolonged it by the profitable export of
arms to our enemies.
America, as always, is proud of her
sober reasonableness, and when English
mendacity has abated she will say that
Germany violated no American rights,
but acted according to right and duty, as
she was obliged to act.

VOTE FOR IDLENESS

The carpenters strike in Chicago is
meeting with scant sympathy from the
public.
In the face of bad financial and indus
trial conditions throughout the country,
the carpenters, already receiving the
highest wages of any city in this coun-
try, four weeks ago struck for higher
wages.
Since that time 100000 idle workmen
have waited for the contractors and Car
penters' Union to come to an agreement.
By vote of the carpenters locals
this week, it is made certain, is the re-
port, there will be little work in the
building industry during the summer
and fall months this year.
The vote of the locals was surprise
to the contractors. The employers ar
gued that if the rank and file had a
chance to vote on the proffer made at
the beginning of the strike, it would be
accepted Immediately, and the strike
which has tied up all building in the
city would be brought to speedy close.
Instead, by their votes, 10000 men will
be idle this summer.

Not the least lesson being taught
Americans in this time of waiting is
that of patriotism and wisdom, the two
being inseparably linked.
The ability to twist the tail of a met

OF oratory,-these do not constitute the
thing expressed by the noble word

NEW FACTOR

Since the dispatching of the presi-
dents note, new factor has arisen,
which may influence the kaiser's reply.
This relates to the probable early en-
trance of Italy into the conflict, and
following Italy, Roumania and Greece,
and perhaps Bulgaria.
Germany and her allies, Austro-
Hungary and Turkey, will then be con-
fronted with the tremendous combina-
tion of Great Britain, France, Russia,
Belgium, Italy, Serbia, Montenegro,
Bulgaria, Roumania, and Greece.
Does Germany care to provoke the
United States into force against her?
In diplomatic circles it is believed that
Italy's participation alone will cause
Germany to be more conciliatory in her
response to the American demands re-
garding the cessation of submarine war
against merchantile craft.
