It's in America are now attempting a
right about face out in the open
while keeping up their propaganda
secretly.
The sooner the American Catholics
get rid Of the Jesuits the sooner
American-Americans are going to
repose more confidence in them.
This Jesuit Order, expelled from
every country in the world, save
America, has its strangle-hold on the
church machinery and is choking

themselves who believe it is really
religious, can save it for religion.
Just Back, In Germany
A few weeks ago, Germany passed
law admitting the Jesuits officially
to government recognition. Germany
did SO because Of the great service
of the Jesuit Order in this war.
1t has been the kaiser's intelligence
bureau. 1t has procured the destruc-

"Holy Alliance" Of the three grea
autocrats of Germany, Russia an
Austria that came SO near success i
Mexico while the United States wa

So it will be easy to see where tn
interests of the vatican lie. Its aC
