Whatever the form of diplomatic

did, without reservation, assume full

Her offer of reparation was SO un-

She requests the United States to
suggest some means of ascertaining

She does not disavow the destruc-
lion Of the Lusitania. This she feels
is impossible for the reason that she
has already officially honored the com

Moreover she vigorously maintains
that the giant Cunarder loaded with

The Knights Of Columbus in sew

Of $1,000 10 anyone who would
prove that the Roman Catholic
church denies the validity Of mar
riages performed BY any but papal
or Roman Catholic priests.
TIE MENACE WANTS
THAT $1,000.
HERE'S THE PROOF:
Quoting from The Messenger Of
ne Sacred Heart:
'How is il that some marriages
before Protestant ministers we're
recognized by the church as valid
before Easter, 1908? The sacra-
ment Of matrimony is a contract
and the ministers Of the sacrament
are the man and woman who make
the contract. The church has au-
thority to make the conditions that
must be fulfilled TO have the con-
tract valid. At the Council Of
Trent in the sixteenth century the
church made the law that matri-
mony was not valid except con-
tracted before the parish priest and
two witnesses; this law did not ap-
ply to most Of the provinces in the
United States until Easter, 1908,
when it was extended to the whole
world. Hence, before Easter, 1908,
marriages might have been valid
even without witnesses. A Cath
olie who contracted a marriage be-
fore Protestant minister incurred
accommodation, but the mar
riage might be valid. Now 70 is
no longer rdlid."
