"CARRANZA HITS CATHOLICS.
''Nill Allow No Collections to Be
Taken in Churches.

Baltimore, Dec 2O.-Cardinal
Gibbons announced that he had re-
ceiyed q letter this afternoon from
the Archbishop Of Oaxaca, Mexico,
informing him that the Carranza
Government had forbidden collec-
tions to be taken in Catholic churches.
Confessions have been forbidden for
some time, according to the arch
Bishop.
He reCites many Of the conditions
among the clergy and nuns, the car
dinal said, land it makes one shud-
Ger to think of these outrages.
The foregoing is fair sample of
reports which Catholics have cirCu-
Rated with great diligence in this
country. Believing that if any hard
ships or outrages were being imposed
on Catholic clergy and nuns by the
Government Of Mexico, Cardinal Glib
hons would hasten to publish all the
particulars OF such Outrages in the
most greWs0me form possible, the
writer sought and obtained an inter
view with EliSe0 ArredondO, diplo-
matte representative of the COnsti-
tutiOnaI Government Of Mexico in
the United States. When shown the
foregoing news item purporting to
be from Cardinal Gibbons, Mr.. Ar
redOndo made the following state
ment Of the facts:
IL is not true that either the Con-
stitutional Government of Mexico or
Mr.. CaTranZa has forbidden or in any
manner intorfered with the taking Of
collections in Mexico. 1t may pos
sibly be that representatives of the
churches are forbidden to solicit
money outside the churches.
''It is absurd to say that Catholics
in Mexico have been forbidden to
make confessions to their parish
priests. The right of confession is
protected by the Constitution and
laws, and the present Government
has not at any time interfered with
that right or even thought Of doing
SO.
ct is absolutely untrue that the
Government or Mr.. Carranza has for
hidden the holding Of religious scrV-
ices within the churches.
Neither Mr.. Carranza nor the
Provisional Government has at any
time imposed upon either Catholic
clergy or the nuns any unsual con-
tlitienS nor any hardships. Mr. Car
rama scrupui0usly gives them all the
rights and privileges to which they
are entitled undor the Constitution
and laws Of Mexico. ~.~---~'

termination to discount and
I - overthrow the present Con-
stitutional Government Of
Mexico, the Roman Catholic political
machine in the United States has
suddenly been unmasked and exposed
to the light of truth.
Catholic press and prelates have
been both blatant and persistent in
publishing far and wide narrowing
reports of alleged outrages to which
the Catholic church, and particularly
ats priests and nuns in Mexico, are
being subjected by the Carranza Gov
eminent. Their manifest purpose
has been to mislead and poison pub
lie opinion in the United States
againt CarranZa and the present Mex
acan Government, of which he is the
executive head, and thus cause the
downfall Of that Government.
Pursuant to that purpose, the fol-
lowing item of news was recently
given wide publicity. 1t is copied

WILSON APPROVES
COURT FINDING

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-President
Wilson today approved the action Of
an army court martial in sentencing
Lewis o. Gardner, Of the New Mexico
militia, to dishcuorable discharge and
a year in prison at hard labor for
failure to obey the federal call fer
border duty last June but RENTED
the prison sentence because the case
had ben pressed as test.
War Department officials regard the
decision as important because of the
warning it gives TO more than 10000
enrolled members of the National
Guard who have not appeared for
federal service.
Gardner was enrolled as meber
Mexico National Guard. He was one
of a considerable number who refused
10 be mustered into the federal SER
vice, but the others changed their
minds when court martials were Or
6ered, and Joined their companies
rather than face trial Major Blanton
Winship of the judge advocate gene:-
ais department, was especially as
signed to carry on the prosecution be-
fore a court composed of both regular
and National Guard officers, the lat
ter from the accused soldiers own
regiment.
When the case came up for approx
al, Secretary Baker took the position
that Gardner was not aware OF the
gravity of his offense. and as the pui-
pose of the proceedings had been
served by the conviction, recommend
ed that the prison sentence be re-
mitted
