have the network of a daily, covering
Chicago every "a hours, which has
survived the costly, crucial ordeal of
getting started is a ChicagOesque
feat. How many other men or wOm-

The ideas in most literature and

The systems newspapers today are
passing the height of their power!
They'll start anything to get money
or notoriety. A Chicago manag-

essential" That newspapers are not
out to publish the important news,
but to get somebody or make a good
story. The last thing they do is to
publish things as they are. Every
article is warped into a purpose.
Organized labor has largely caused
the loss of incalculable prestige to

BISHOPS LETTER TO.
Be READ TODAY IN
DIOCESE CHURCHES
IMPORTANT MIssTvE FROM THE
BISHOP OF MOBILE TO BE
HEARD THIS MORNING IN ALL
THE CHURCHES.

All churches in the Mobile diocese |
will this morning be read the follow
ing letter, which is self-explanatory:
Mobile, Ala, June 6, 1916.
To the Clergy and Laity of the Do
cese of Mobile:
Dearly Beloved:-The usual collec-
ton for the support OF the Holy See
will be taken up in all the churches
and missions of the Diocese on Trim
ity Sunday. We appeal to you to
make the collection notable one this
year, for the needs of the Holy See
are great and pressing.
Since the war broke out, the Holy
Father has been heavily taxed in re-
lieving the poor and afflicted in war
tried countries and in organizing, IN
Switzerland, hospitals for the sick
and. wounded who have been released,
Temporarily at least, from prison
camps. Through his benevolent eff
forts, numbers of sick and wounded
soldiers have been exchanged and al
lowed to return to their homes. These
charitable labors, together with ordl-
nary obligations have imposed heavy
financial burdens on the Holy Father
at a time when the main sources Of
revenue are either entirely cut off or
greatly reduced.
Under these circumstances the
HOLY Fathers condition appeals to US
very strongly. As head of the Uni
versal Church and as the Vicar OF
Christ on earth, he has the care of
all the churches and feels the deepest
sympathy for his war suffering chill
dren.
! rerttssr if net our duty to come to his
AlSSiA HeI1OC snow goIIrraIxxes
to be devoted children BY contribute
ing generously to maintain the great
works he is interested in?
The offerings of the Diocese to the
Holy See last year amounted to one
thousand dollars. For this gift the
Holy Father, through the Apostolic
Delegate, sent his grateful acknowl-
edgment and bestowed his blessing
on each giver. By little sacrifice
on the part of each one, much
larger sum can easily be given this
year.
This letter should be read to the
people on Pentecost and Trinity Sun
day and its Importance urged on the
faithful. / am,
Sincerely yours in Christ,
EDW. P. ALLEN,
IR, 0. GEROW, Bishop of Mobile
Secretary.

BRITISH Liner
At BOSTON LIKE
A BATTLESH|P
Steamer Cretic Arrives with
War Paint on after Thrilling
Voyage from Naples ~ Gun
Mounted Astern but Later
Removed

Boston. Feb. 11.-Painted a battle
ship gray, the British steamer Cretic
arrived today from Naples. According
to some of the passengers the liner
lodged a suspicious looking vessel
when day out from Gibraltar. Upon
her arrival at Gibraltar on the out
ward passage the Cretic mounted d
four-inch gun astern, but the weapon
was removed when she stopped at
Gibraltar on the return trip.
DR.. Waldo Richardson of Seattle,
who returned from Red Cross work
in France, said that after the passen-
gers learned of the capture of the
Appam, there was much speculation
whether the Cretic would run across
the Moewe or some other German
raider.
"One day out from Gibraltar" he
said, we saw vessel on the horizon
The course of the Cretic was immedl-
ately altered and her speed increased
and the mysterious vessel disappeared
We felt confident that the stranger
was the Moewe and that the officers
on the bridge could make her out"
Capt. F.. B. Howarth of the Cretlt
laughed at the Moewe report and said:

1t is an unusual thing for a druggist to

Co.. the popular druggists, are selling
Mi-o-na. the standard dyspepsia remedy.
Never before have they had SO large
number of customers tell them that a
medicine has been successful AS with
Mi-o-na. People who few months ago
looked like walking skeletons have put
on flesh and today are ruddy and vigor-
Gus with perfect digestion and good
health.
There is no longer any need for anyone
suffering or making their friends suffer
on account of dyspepsia. Mi-o-na can
always be relied upon. The percentage
of cures is SO great that there Is little
risk to Bowditch- Webster Co. in guar
anteeing to return the money if the
medicine does not relieve. And they stand
ready to do so without any questions.
Headaches. all forms Of indigestion.
poor sleep. ringing in the ears and all
forms of liver trouble are helped by
Mi-o-na. A few days treatment should

From the American point of view there
Is absolutely no warrant in international
law for his action in ''requisitioning" food

of the right by the Austrian submarine
commander to remove a member of the
