:, Catholic Who Says Most of Non.
Catholics Are Fair-WOmen's Sec.
ton Is Authorized.

New York, Aug 23.-Presdent Will
son was criticised tonight in a reso-
luton passed at the closing session
of the German Roman Catholic Cen
trail turnverein for having "preferred
charges" in his message to congress
against a party of our citizenship
who heretofore enjoyed the proud dis
tinction of unquestioned loyalty and
patriotism" Action on the resolution
was taken only after there had been
a debate on the question of the pro-
priety of religious organization
entering into political fields"
The German turnverein also adopted
resolutions calling upon the United
states government to talk such action
in regard to Mexico as would assure
religious liberty in that country. The
resolution also demanded protection of
all American citiZ3ns and their rights
by the defacto government of Mexico.
Heat Forces Adjournment.
The annual convention of the
American Federation of Catholic So
cieties adjourned today "a hours
sooner than had been originally
planned. The excessive heat was the
cause for shortening the session.
JOAN Whalen of New York was
again elected president, and all oth3r
officers were reelected with the en-
ception OF Joseph Brennan sixth vice
president, who was succeeded by Dr..
Peter Danx of Louisville. The conven-
ton will meet in Kansas City next
year.
The executive committee of the ma
tional body was empowered to appoint
a committee consisting of one bishop,
two priests and three laymen to for
mullate plans for Catholic chautau
qua.
The constitution was changed to
make representation on the national
body on diocesan rather than state
lines.
Mont Catholic Attitude.
The final session was enlivened by
an unexpected exchange of opinion
concerning the Catholic attitude
toward Catholics. Col Patrick Henry
callahan of Louisville declared that the
majority of the five-siXth non-Catho-
lies among the citizens of the country
were fair in their treatment OF the
Catholic sixth. Joseph Brennan OF
Boston, after creating some little ex-
cits ment in demanding an opportunity
to reply, said:
with all due respect to tAis prom
inent gentleman, what, he says is silly.
That talk about tolerance is soft soap
/ can speak officially for Massachu-
sets only, but there the non-Cathollc
five-s ixths are not fair to the Catho-
lies. There we spend $4,O0o,000 for
the maintenance of institutions, and
the state pays nothing. And why
tolerance? We are Americans with
the right to be ahere, and need no
tolerance and accept nome"
After the convention adjourned, the
executive committee authorized the
formation of women's section ito
do the work of women" under super
vision OF the social service committee
of the federation.

ASSOCIATED Press Summary

NASSOCldleu Tf6SS summarize
With no important changes in the
main war theatre, interest remains
centered on the new allied offensive
on the Saloniki front. The latest dis
patches, however, throw little light
on the situation, and the allies plans
are somewhat obscure.
The Bulgarians are reported to have
advanced along the Struma valley and
entrenched themselves at various
points. Berlin reports further ad-
vances for them on the right wing,
parently no action of any importance
has vet developed.
Interest in the attitude of th.,
Greeks has been heightened by dis
patches telling of the determination
Of the Greek commander at Sores to
resist the Bulgarians, and of volun-
teers being organized for his as
sistance by the Venizelos leaders at
Saloniki.
There has been no further develop
pent in the Roumanian situation, the
latest report from Berlin maintaining
that Roumania has not yet reached a
decision.
On the west front, the French are
apparently marking time while the
British push against Thiepval and
Douaumont. Reports to London indi-
cate the fresh tightening Of the ring
around Thiepval in the capture of 200
yards of German trenches south Of
the town. Bitter fighting is going on
in this section. The Germans sue
ceeded in entering some British
trenches, but. according to London,
were Immediately elected.
The fierce struggle around Fleury
in the Verdun sector, continues. The
Fernch claim IAN appreciable ad-
vance" between Fleury and Thiau-
mont. and the capture Of some 200
prisoners.
Claims Conflicting.
Conflicting claims are made by
Berlin and Petrograd on the fighting
on the eastern front. Both report the
capture of positions near Jablonitza
pass, where a violent struggle has
been in progress for several days, on
the crest of the Carpathians.
Berlin also claims the sanguinary
repulse of Russian attempts to cross
the Stokhod river, and, apparently
desperate fighting is going on.
Both Berlin and London continue
to make claims and counter claims
in regard to the recent fighting in
the North sea. Berlin admits that the
battleship Westphalen was struck by
a torpedo from an English subma
rine but maintains the damage was
slight The German admiralty reit
crates that a British battleship was
heavily damaged by German sub
marine. This is emphatically denied
by the British admiralty.
