Mexico may face isolation from the

typhus epidemic in Mexico City and
fails himself to stamp out this dread
disease.
With 10000 cases reported in Mex

from Mexico City, the United States
is regarded as seriously menaced by
travellers coming to this country from
Mexico and by imports, which would

The State Department will bring
the offer of the Red Cross to send an
expedition to Mexico City to fight the
disease, to General Carranza's atten.

the wisdom of accepting it, but the
result is doubtful, as Carranza has

MACEDONIA WILL RETURN TO
CATHOLIC FAITH,

King Ferdinand of Bulgaria has
written to the, Holy Father informing
him that he has issued orders for the
re.establfshment of the Catholic re-
ligion in Macedonia, which was sup
pressed by the Serbian administration,
says the Rome correspondent in the
Catholic Press. The King is also said
to have stated that, after the war,
Bulgaria will return en- masse to al
legiance to the Catholic faith, the Or
thodox Hierarchy being prepared to
place themselves in the Pontiff's
hands. 1t Is believed that this letter
and others which inspired it, owes it's
origin to the young Prince Boris, who,
though apostatized by his father to
please Russia several years ago, has
long secretly been devoted to the faith
of his childhood.

FIGHT DUE ON MEXICO
Senator Borah expresses views.
Declares there is no Govern
ment in Mexico. Admins
tration blundered in recog-
nizing Carranza.

When Congress reassembles, repub.
llcans of the Senate foreign relations
committee are preparing to renew
their attacks on President Wilson's
Mexican policy, by fighting confirma.
tion of Harry Prather Fletcher as am
bassador to Mexico.
Senator Borah, one of those who in.
tends to lead the fight, said:
$50 far as l am concerned, I am not
opposing the mere promotion of Mr..
Fletcher. In fact he may be the very
best man we could send to Mexico.
l am opposed to sending any ambas-
sador to that country until Carranza
has shown that he can establish his
government in Mexico City, and until
he has shown disposition to accede
to the American demands for indem-
MITIGATION for losses in that country.
There is NO government in Mexico to-
day worthy the name. and, in my opin-
ion, we should not recognize gov
ernment that does not govern unless
we intend to intervene there and help
build up u government"
Republicans in the Senate hold that
the administration made q blunder in
recognizing Carranza, particularly
without assurances that the enormous
damage to American property and the
large loss of American life would be
compensated.
Senator Borah declared that the
course Of the administration with re-
gard to Mexico was responsible in
great measure for the contemptuous
attitude in which European govern.
ments and European peoples now re.
gard the United States.

WAR WAS INEVITABLE
Doctor Guilday of Catholic Uni
versity Speaks of Struggle,
Forecast in 1907. Common
Belief that War would
come.

The Rev. DR.. Peter Guilday, profes.
sor Of Church History, Catholic Uni.
versity, was the last graduate of the
University of Louvain, which German
shells almost razed. DR.. Guilday re-
ceived his degree on June rs, 1914, a
little more than month before the
breaking out of the war. The univer-
sity at that time had student body
numbering close to 5000.
In an interview, DR.. Guilday said:
"The most remarkable and striking
feature of my life at Louvain was the
settled conviction among the theologi-
cal students from 1907 down to the
time Of the beginning of the war that
the present struggle was inevitable.
During my first years at Louvain,
at Holy Ghost College, was a men,
ber of an organization numbering
some 80 priests, divided into circles of
about IA each, the purpose of which
was to learn by discussion of different
topics various languages of Europe.
The practice was to discuss every day
topics in a certain languae until the
students became proficient in that Ian
guage. was asked once whether we
did not run out of subjects, and 1 re-
piled in the negative, because always
the discussion turned to the impend-
ing war. This was as early as 1907.
Europe may not have been discuss
ing war at that time, but the students
at Louvain were convinced that it was
coming. There was one of our num-
Der, a Belgian, who would come in
every evening rubbing his hands and
always with the announcement that
the war was nearer at hand. It was
in no manner a surprise to us there
fore when in August of last year the
great nations of Europe were plunged
into the present terrible conflict, the
end of which no man can forecast.
have followed the progress of the war
from the beginning, and know every
foot of the territory on the western
front. I cannot see how either side
can win"
