DIVIDED CIVIL ALLEGIANCE

THE Catholic civil allegiance d.
vided? Why, look across the sea, I'd
where all Europe is in arms. Every
Catholic is fighting loyalty, giving his
very life for his own country And
though some of these countries have
merited little gratitude from any Cath
Ollie, still the very priests are in the
trenches each a defender of his native
land Where, I ask of any honest wit
ness of these facts under his very eyes,
where is this divided civil allegiance!
And the pope-is there one in this
country who after this war will ever
dare to accuse the pope of interference
in civil affairs or of weakening the 10y
alty of citizens? Behold him the uni
versal father of the faithful, looking
out over all the world, and weeping
and praying for the peace of all the
nations, Offering solace and counsel to
all alike-a lonely, pathetic figure IKE
Christ-begging the world to listen
that he may heal all and help all. The
world knows the truth today OF the
position of the pope in relation to all
the nations Not another word Is
needed.
At the night service Father Coyle,
after answering several questions on
catholic faith and practice continued
his conference on "The Foes OF our
salvation: the World, the Flesh and the
Devil"

lights, the gas company informed the
mayor and city commissioners in a
communication received at the
mayors office yesterday, that, as
long as the company continues to
maintain the gasoline lights, the
charge viii be $3.75 for each light
per month, an increase of so cents
over the rate formerly allowed the
city.
The solitary bid for furnishing
2,400 tons of coal to the city also
showed an increase over what fuel
was bought for year ago. The bid
yesterday was from the Pensacola
Shipping Company, offering to fur
nish the quantity named f. o. b. at

is about 20 cents per ton increase.
This bid, it was voted, was rejected.
