rendered by choir of amateurs under
the direction of a priest, is very fine
and the ceremonies are always carried
out with stately dignity.
But what makes the Church of St.
Eugene Quilt in 1890 so dear to the
Catholics of Sweden is the fact that
1t was the first to be consecrated after
tho Reformation.
From the time of the Reformation
until the publication of the Edict of
Tolerance by Gustavus III. in 1871,
all public manifestation of Catholic
worship was forbidden in Sweden. The

In 1892 the Catholics at Stockholm
had the happiness of seeing a church
erected in honor of the martyred king
St. Eric.
This church is the only Catholic
one In Sweden which possesses a bell.

of the Russian ambassador.
In the provinces there are Catholic
churches at Malino, Gothembourg,
Norrokoping and Gefle-Elmo. The
latter is the one most frequented by
the Polish workingmen, who go to

Ilsned somewhere In Missouri, called
The Menace and it is rightly named.
1t is menace to religious liberty and
all of our free institutions. 1t has no
right to exist and should be suppressed
like other venomous reptiles of it's
kind. The editor should be arrested,
prosecuted and punished, and If this
doesn't cure him he should be boxed
up and shipped to Russia by citizens
who appreciate free country like the
United States. Liberty is one thing
and the abuse of liberty is another.
1t was wise man who first said, "A
mans liberty ceases at the threshold
of another's rights and we are pre-
sumed to have the right to worship
God as we please in this country, al
though the editor of the Menace
doesn't seem to realize it."
With reference to passing a law re-
cognizing insults offered to religion
as a crime, "The American Israelite",
takes advance ground and suggests
the passage Of law similar to the
German law, covering the publication
of vile and disreputable papers. The
American Israelite" speaks very
forceable from the point in the follow.
ing article taken from the Jewish
journal quoted above.
Zone of the unpleasant features of
the past political campaign was the
war that was made in evry part of
the United States upon those candi-
dates who professed the Catholic re-
ligion. This dragging of religion into
politics cannot be too severly con-
demned. 1t is un.American, undemo.
cratic, narrow bigoted and in direct
opposition to all the great principles
upon which our Republic is founded.
Individuals or organizations, resort
ing to such tactics should be singled
out and held up to public reprobation
as dangerous enemies of the Republic,
whether their venom is directed
against Protestant or Catholic, Jew or
Gentle. It is most fortunate, al
though quite natural that this detest-
able campaign should not be carried
on publicly. This reprehensible work
is done secretly and mainly by books,
pamphlets and articles which are sent
through the United States mail.
Thinking men have always been in
clined to condemn the laws which ex-
list in European countries and espe-
cially in Germany, which recognize
insult to religion as a crime punish
able by fine and Imprisonment. In
view of recent developments in the
United States many of them are not
quite sure that the law is not a wise
one and it is quite possible that the
enactment of similar one may be
considered at a not very distant date
in Washington, il the pernicious &C.

into politics is persisted in"

ing through the heavy antagonists for
good gains repeatedly.
Johnson is Shifted.
Ray Johnson, who has been shifted
temporarily from the position of left
halfback, in which he has starred for
the past season, to quarterback, shows
a good understanding of his new po-
sition, being cool-headed, fast and an
accurate passer. He fills the position
vacated by Tanner, who is ineligible.
Warfield, who has been playing a
very promising game at the fullback
position this season, is declared to be
making better impression on the
scrimmage spectators every night and
much will be expected of him.
Graham in Bailey's Place.
George Graham, the speedy little
right end has been removed to Bail
ey's place at right half and is more
than making good there. His line
plunges and defensive playing have
been a feature of this weeks prac-
tice.
Harold White is filling Johnson's
regular position as left half and ex-
hibits much speed, showing tactful
judgment in "smashing" as we'll as
in the place of interference man. His
addition to the eleven will make good
the loss of some of the usual stars
Cameron Leads Line.
Alec Cameron, captain, leads the
line men although the full line is ex-
ceedingly strong. Cameron can be
relied on for the defense and is noted
for the "holes" he makes for the
backfield. ::
In spite of the barring of several
of the regulars by ineligibility, &C
cording to rules, Coach Bestul feels
assured of an easy victory at Akeley
tomorrow. Several players, Maurice,
Whiting, William Walker and George
Graham were injured last night,
more or less seriously, but Coach Res- \
tut says this will not hinder them
from playing Saturday.

DAILY WAR ANALYSIS

Great Britain's offer of Cyprus to
Greece in exchange for Greek par
ticipation in the war is probably not
sufficient to obtain King Constan-
tines consent to throw his country
into the conflict. 1t is, however, a
move in the direction of real tempta-
tion to the Greeks, because it is the
first proffer of payment in advance
that the Allies have made in the
Balkans. If the principle thus estab-
lished be continued, Greece and Ru-
mania eventually will receive their
full price of war.
Hitherto the bids of the Allies for
Greek and Rumanian help have been
no more than assurances that those
countries would be allowed to keep
what they conquered. There have
been no payments down. The risk
has been all on the side of the Balkan
copies themselves. This is the basic
reason why the allied diplomats have
failed so dolefully at the Balkan cap
itals. The idea has been unduly en-
phasized that the quadruple entente
must inevitably win complete VIC
tory and whatever Balkan countries
were in at the death would be per-
mitted to retain their own kill.
The offer of Cyprus to the Aathen-
ian government, however, shows that
the old policy of deferring payment
for help is being abandoned. In ef-
feet, Great Britain now says to
Greece that: the quadruple entente
takes the risks of the war and if the
Greeks give their help they shall
have a large preliminary reward, as
we'll as further payment if the war
goes we'll.
The Greek answer probably will be
an acceptance of the basis OF the
new negotiations, even though the
immediate offer be rejected as insult
ficient. Unable to trade her armies
in exchange for Cyprus alone, the
Greeks might we'll agree to abandon
their neutrality if Greece were offered
immediate possession of southern Al
bania. The Albanian offer would
mean a sacrifice by Italy, who regards
the ostensibly Independent princi-
pality as her own sphere of influence.
But it must by now be apparent to
the allies that their military posi-
ton is not such as to make sacrificial
payment for help unnecessary.
Following the British precedent,
Russia may realize that Rumania, too,
must be paid in advance for her as
sistance. If Petrograd comes to this
belated conclusion, it is probable that
before long the Allies will prefer
Bessarabia to Rumania.
Rumania can scarcely resist the
temptation to enter the war. With
the new method Of business diplomacy
beginning to operate, the Balkan sit
uation therefore may be changed once
more and this time with decisive ef-
feet.
