BRYAN Tells PRIEST
Of us. MEXICAN aims
Administration Has Played Part Only
of Advisor and Friend. Premier
Writes Father Kelley.

The record of the Wilson administratio
in upholding religious liberty by protect
ing acts of conscience in Mexico is mar
rated at length in a letter written by Sec
retary Bryan to Rev. Francis c. Kelley
OF Chicago, president of the Catholic
Church Extension Society. Father Kelley
has written I~ply to Secretary Bryan
asserting that there can be no settlement
of the Mexican troubles until the prin-
ciples of religious liberty are given full
recognition by the Mexican revolutionists.
Secretary Bryans letter reads, in
part:
And. above and beyond all. the full
Flower of democracy. lies religious
freedom. the principle which the build
ers OF our own republic made the
crown Of the whole structure. To this
freedom political liberty has seemed.
at many OF the most important crises
of history. to be only the hand making
and servant.
The administration has not felt at
liberty to play any part in the internal
affairs of Mexico, except that of friend
and advisor. 1t realizes that, by rea-
son of SeoGraphi proximity and many
historical circumstances known to all
the world. it is in some peculiar de-
gree charged with the duty of safe
guarding. so far as it may within the
limit OF international privilege, the
lives and rights of foreigners in Mex
leo. At every turn OF affairs there
moreover. and upon every report of
persecution it has advised and warned
those who exercise authority of the
fatal effect any disregard for the lives
or rights of those who represented re-
ligion or any attack upon liberty or
conscience or of worship. would have
upon the opinion of the people of the
United States and of the world"
In his reply Father Kelley took occa-
sion to say that the construction of re-
lig1ous liberty given in Mexico in the
past fifty years lis as far from the con-
struction our own country gives to it as
the moon is from the earth" Father
Kelley directed the attention of the Sec
retary of State to a pamphlet issued by
the Washington agency of Gen. Villa.
in which are quoted laws inimical with
religious liberty
Father Kelley expressed the hope that
the representations of this government
would ultimately result IN a recognit.on
Of religious liberty in Mexico. He re-
minded Secretary Bryan that, despite
the representations made by this gov
ernment to the revolutionists, outrage
were committed on the church in Zaca-
tecas and Mexico City.

The proposal of the Commissioner OF
Pensions to publish in volume form fol
| their historical and genealogical value

| by reason of service in the Revolutionary
| war was strongly indorsed last night
by the Sons of the American Revolution

ter of publication of the records to the

recommending that permission be grant
ed for the printing of 1000 sets of two

Whereas the Commissioner of Pensions
has written to the honorable Secretary of
the interior. notifying him that there are
on file in tthe Pension Bureau 7S.2S4 ad-
rnitted claims pensioned by reason of
service in the War of the Revolution,
stating that said files contain valuable
historical and genealogical data. and
that they are constantly consulted for
such purpose by those whose ancestors
rendered service in the Revolution, and
others, and asking permission to cause
the same to be published. estimating
that the most important data could be
contained in two volumes of 1000 pages
each, and published at a cost of s. per
eolume. and asking the Secretary for
permission to publish 1000 sets of two
volumes which might be disposed of at
cost: therefore be it resolved by the Dis
trict of Columbia Society of the Sons
of the American Revolution that we
most heartily indorse the project. and We
request of the honorable Secretary of the
Interior that he give his consent to such
publication and that We extend the
thanks of the society to the Secretary,
and also to the Commissioner of PEN
sions.
BE it further resolved that the dele
gates of this society at the coming Ma
tional Congress be instructed to offer and
urge resolution of similar import with
view to its adoption"
