Americans who are also members of
the Roman church, look with alarm
on the U. S. Secret Service exposures
of priest and jesuit at the bottom of
Sim Fein plots, German intrigue
and political domination.
So long as peace prevailed, the
majority Of our citizens saw nothing
alarming in estimates that fully
75% of Federal employees were Ro-
manist and the best way to catch
vote for the Roman Catholic was to
tell the world he was being perse-
cuted for his religions sake. And
the cry of religious bigotry" usually
meant that some Roman had lost an
Office.
But now It Is different. Roman
lists themselves, IN ceratn instances,
are beginning to see what dupes the
Jesuit has made of them. They find
themselves a people set apart for
suspicion, sometimes an unjust sus-
picion. Almost without their knowl-
edge this setting apart, by the Jesu-
its, has been accomplished, until the
country awakes to find itself in war,
Roman Catholic Patriotism
The first great shock came when
the pope endeayored to save Ger
many and Austria by his peace pro-
posals just after his private cham
berlain had been convicted and SEN
fenced to prison for life as the Mas
ter German Spy in Italy.
But there were many little shocks
that preceded it. 1t was a shock
when Secretary Tumulty crossed
swords with the priests of his own
church who were trying to embroil
the U. S. with Mexico by their lies
1t was shock when Mayor Mitchell
of New York opposed the priests Of
his own church who tried to inter
fere with his city administration.
And there were other shocks such
as the German propaganda indulgec
in by foreign-born priests and Jesu
its whose activities afforded a singu
lar and striking contrast to the en-
listment of Roman Catholics under
the banner of liberty; activities
which, should they continue with
even the seeming appreciation of Ro'
manists, would ultimately mean the
utter destruction Of both church anc
state autocracy, together with theil
champions, the Jesuits.
Death Struggle of the Jesuits
But the Jesuits will not die with
out struggle.
Their first thought was to keer
Roman Catholics segregated in thil
world war as they did in politics anc
religion.

American Catholics in the army ant

The hyphen was their first grea
weapon. II they could persuade

The World Line-Up

Some years ago ! was financial
secretary" of a large national fra
ternal order with insurance features.
l Joined this order not merely for
cheap insurance but because saw
among its members many of my
friends who were Roman Catholics
but with whom ! could not associate
or affiliate, fraternally, in the Ma
sonic order of which ] was, and am
still, a member.
At that time thought it simply a
bit of medieval prejudice that kept
Roman Catholics out Of Freemasonry,
knowing as ! did, from history, how,
in the early days before the papal
decrees gained much foothold in
America, some Of our best Masonic
members were at the same time de-
vout Roman Catholics though per-
haps not as subservient to priestcraft
as they have become since.
However my eyes were opened to
these Catholic friends" one day by
q member who came to pay me his
dues.
He noted a Scottish Rite Masonic
diploma on the wall of my Office and
Immediately his eyes cleaned with
the light Of battle. II see you are
Freemason," he said.

couldn't see how they could do that
but laughingly remarked that the
best "business combination in the
world is q Knight Of Columbus and
knight Templar--catches them

Since then have observed and
studied.
Knights Of Columbus have time
and again assured me that no Cath.
ollie can be q Freemason and that the
Roman church excommunicates then
the minute they Join Masonry. Or

pure and simple. Then the Central
Bureau Of the Catholic Verein which
is it's news bureau for propaganda
against the Masons, public schools
and other democratic institutions.
The German Catholic Verein rep
resents the political organization.
Shortly before the war an attempt
was made to consolidate "lrish-
Americans" and the "German-Amer-
leans" but the two races did
not mix very well. After a meeting
in New York in which members Of
the Catholic Truth Society" and the
German Catholic Verein" demon
strated their inability to work in
harmony, the leaders of the move
ment erected the american Truth
Society" with jeremiah 0'Leary az
its head to look after the Irish
American element particularly,
There is a similar society in Ger
many known as the League of
Truth" in which it is said many
Americans are enlisted and which is
supposed to have been fostered by
Americans of doubtful reputation.
The PrO-German Propaganda
Certain it is that all these socie-
ties have lined themselves up on the
side Of autocracy and the divine
right. Their members may not all
realize where they are headed or Oil
which side they fight, but results
have shown q connection between
them and the pro-German propa.
ganda in America that not even our
government could ignore.
England long ago saw 1t. She
placed an official ambassador at the
vatican and kept watch. Italy saw
it. Poland saw 1t and protested ir

mated the entire church from pope
to priest ever since 1870.
AS result of their activities, the
Roman Catholic has been carefully
segregated from the rest of human
ity. For the young men and women
who wanted the social enjoyments of
secret societies and fraternal orders,
the Jesuits substituted Freemasonry
with Knights of Columbus, Y. NJ. l.,
Sodalities and other secret orders,
each Of which is limited to Catholic
members and must be under the guid-
ance and authority of a priest and
the church. Catholics were drawn
away from all other orders outside
the church.
The public schools had the Bible
but in most cases the Protestant
Bible, So by protests and continual
outcry, the Bible was taken out Of
the schools at the instance Of Roman
Catholics. Then, instantly the cry
went up that the public schools were
goddess, sinks of iniquity, and Roman
lists must have their own schools
and money from the state to support
them.
The constitution prevents public
school funds being thus divided
Failing to "change the constitutions
of states and governments to con
form to the principles of the church,
as the pope had commanded, tn,
Jesuits attempted to secure churcl
control Of public schools through Ro
man Catholic teachers and publ,
school boards composed of Roma,
Catholics.

In order to elect these schoo
boards and put in these teachers tn,
church had to enter politics and diC

kept the country in turmoil eve
since.

atmosphere of liberation and fair
