WHAT THE ALLIES WANT.

The answer of the Allies to the
Presidents peace note is quite
plain. There is no vagueness in
it's terms.
The principles enunciated
sound we'll. They read like the
Declaration of independence.
Put into execution they would
change the whole face of Europe.
The principal point in the answer
calls for "the reorganization of
Europe, guaranteed by suitable
regime and founded as much
upon the respect sof .nationalities
and full security and liberty of
economic development which all
nations, great or small, possess,
as upon territorial conventions
and international agreements
suitable to guarantee territorial
frontiers against unjustihed at
tack"
An ideal condition would result
from the program. 1t means that
Germany and her Allies must re-
store all territory acquired by
conquest Presuming on the Sim
cerity of the Entente, it would
mean that Russia will restore
Poland, England will grant lib
erty to Ireland and the Dutch Re
publics of South Africa, and Italy
| will restore the papal States to
the Holy Father. The picture is
ideal and will probably long re-
main in the state of ideal.
There is no serious thought
even in the English mind that
Germany will accept the offer OF
her enemies. The only hope is
that it may clear the air and serve
as a basis for further negotia-
tons.

That we in the land of liberty,

FOR SMALL NATIONS.

You are both fighting for the
same ends. President Wilson tells
the belligerents. TO the world
and to your own peoples you have
declared that your aim is that
weak nations may be as secure
in their rights and their privileges
as the great nations. The nett
trails, great and small, have not
been called ON to declare them
selves, but which of them, from
little Switzerland up to these
United States. would confess to
unwillingness to accord small ma
tons full rights and privileges?
So we may say the world de-
sires this equality. The world de-
string, the world working for it,
the world making it secure-who
shall feel the war to have. been
in vain!
Regarding the weaker nations
we have heard much these two
years. Uninterrupted has been
the outpouring of words from one
side. From the other side? A
definite act toward the restablish-
ment of Poland.
AS usual, Germany strikes
while the iron is hot. England
exhausts herself in blowing out
hot air.
But Germany acted for her
own selfish ends! But England
did not even do that! No one
would accuse her of giving Home
Rule to Ireland for any benefit
except England's. But England

THREE FACTS SHOW GER.
MANY HAS FOOD.

Eminent journalists who are
agitating themselves, as we'll as
the surrounding atmosphere, with
weird tales of national starvation
in Germany, would do we'll to
ponder upon a fact or two.
One of these is that there are
over a million and half prison
ers of war in Germany and Aus
tria and as long as these prison
ers continue to be fed it may be
assumed that the German people
are not dying for lack of food. No
people would ever go to the fool
ish limit OF feeding their enemies
while they themselves starved to
death. They would be more apt
in such desperate circumstances
to eat their captives than to feed
them.
Another fact is that the Ger
man authorities have been trans
porting Belgians to Germany to
work. If-thc German people were
starving or i'll any danger of star
walton only an idiotic government
would deliberately import thou-
sands of persons to feed. And we
believe that even the Britisll-con-
trolled New York papers have
not included among the abusive
epithets they daily apply to the
German government, the word
"idiotic."
A third fact is that there is
nothing to hinder travel from
Germany into Holland, Switzer-
land, Denmark. Sweden and Nor
way, and if Germany was in star
walton straits we would surely
see tens OF thousands of German
women and children being sent
out of Germany into these neutral
countries.
The tales OF German starvation
are exaggerated or wholly manu-
featured in order to keep up the
expectation OF victory among the
peoples of the allied countries and
to affect neutral opinion.
The most sensible thing that
the Allies can do is to listen to
the American President and to
make peace before they ruin
themselves in the false hope that
they can starvc the Central EN-
pires into submission to any
terms.-Thc Examiner.

Priest and Dog Parted
Meet Again in France

At Call Of War French Priest, Doing
Missionary Work In Alaska, Left
for the Front Where He Ministered
to the Wants Of the Sick and
Wounded, dering Along
Trenches Somewhere In France"
Finds His Faithful Dog In Harness.
Seattle, Jan. 21.-Three years ago.
when all the world was at peace and
when the mere thought of war was
entertained almost with ridicule, a
stalwart Jesuit priest-Father Der.
nard, he was called-worked among
the natives of Alaska at Mary's Igloo.
Ever at his side as an inseparable
companion was a sturdy malamute,
larger, stronger and more attractive
than most of the others of his spe-
cies.
Then came the call of war. The
priest, a French reserve, heard the
note of the bugle, saw the bleeding
OF MS country, answered the call of
duty. He left his peaceful work of
saving men in the North to 70 where
men were being slain.
And the parting will long be remem.
bered by residents of the Northern
camp. Perhaps the tenderest fare
we'll, the most fearful on the part of
the priest-soldier was to his big dog.
The dog seemed to understand.
Not long ago. Father Bernard, sol.
dierly in bearing, marked by the hard
campaigns he has undergone, yet
brave and fearless. was wandering
along near the trenches somewhere
in France" wrapped in thought. Doubt.
less his mind pictured the quiet days
at Mary's Igloo. And perhaps he was
thinking Of his dogs and their stalwart
malamute leader.

carranza Wore Enemv
Of Faith Than Villa
Father Dryer, c. p, Declared That
carranza Is Greater Scoundrei and
More To Be Feared Than Is the
Outlaw Chief-Passionist Describes
What Father Martinez of La Junta
Told Him.

Rev. Isidore Dryer, C.P., has re-
turned to Holy Cross monastery, Mt.
Adams, Ohio, after several months
spent on missions, the greater number
of which were conducted in Colorado
and New Mexico, close to the Mexican
border, where the missionary fire.
quently came in contact with fugitives
from the wrath Of both the present
Mexian de factor president, Carranza,
and the outlaw leader, Pancho Villa.
Father Isidore declared that Carranza
is even a greater scoundrel and more
to be feared than is the outlaw chief,
for, he says, Carranza has a great
hatred for Catholics, while, in his
opinion, Villa persecutes them, not be-
cause they are Catholics, but because
he desires their property. In support
of this view he told the following
incident related to him by Rev. Juan
Martinez, Catholic priest, fugitive
from Mexico, who assisted him in con-
Quoting a mission in La Junta, Col.
Father Martinez is pastor of the La
Junta Mexican parish:
While Carranza and Villa were CO.
operating in OPPOSITION to the Huerta
government, Father Martinez and nine
teen other priests were made captive
by the revolutionary forces, and
brought before Carranza, who turned
them over to Villa with orders for
their execution. Instead of obeying,
Villa offered the clergymen their liber-
ty and demanded that they raise one
million dollars for him. The raising
of such a sum was, of course, impos.
s1ble. Villa then had five of the priests
shot, and packing the others into
cattle-car, he shipped them to the
States.
Despite the fact that he is living,
Villa has some fear of the Lord, Faith
er lsidore declares, citing, in proof of
this, the statement of one of the refu-
gee priests, who showed documents to
the effect that, when, during the re-
gime of Diaz, he had been ordered
shot, Villa called for the ministra-
ton of a Catholic priest.
With Father Isidore at the monas.
terry is Senior 1berto Gomez, Mexican
who, being Catholic, was one of the
men to be forced to flee the country
and seek the protection of the United
States. He has had many thrilling
experiences in the Land of Revolu-
tions.
After his missions in New Mexico
and Colorado, all of which yere con-
Quoted in Spanish, Father Isidore
spent considerable time in Nebraska
and Illinois, one of his missions in
the later state being at the Soldiers
Home in Quincy, where most of his
auditors were over seventy-five years
of age.

Bishop Bowling ExtoIs
Missionary Priest
The Generous and Catholic Spirit Of
American Hierarchy Was Finely Ex-
emplified by the Des Moines Bishop
at Ordination Of a New Missionary
Priest.

The generous and Catholic spirit of
the American Hierarchy was finely ex-
emplified recently at Maryknoll by the
Rt. Rev. Austin Bowling of Des
Moines. Bishop Bowling, after ordain-
ing one of his men for the foreign mis-
sions, said:
"This young priest represents the
tirst-fruits of. our little diocese. We
have many things to do in our part of
the country. We have great needs and
much anxiety as to the future. We
are but $4,000 Catholics in the midst
of $4,000 Protestants, and our posi-
ton calls for sacrifice, courage, pa
thence, and, above all, the grace of
God. We need especially young priests,
and as yet there are not many voca-
lions that have originated in our do
cese. 1t is sacrifice, then, for us to
give up this worthy young man, that
he may go abroad to fulfil his voca-
tion to the foreign missions. Yet I
have most cheerfully and most willing
ly given him up and today 1 complete,
the sacrifice by assisting at his ordi-
nation.
II send him to be precipitation for
the struggles of his own diocese, that
God may bless his sacrifice and bless
us. And l tell him this morning that
wherever he goes. he shall not be out
of our sight. We will follow him and
we will help him. 1t will be part of
our pride and obligation to see that he
shall not suffer, as so many mission
ers do, for the means necessary to his
work. At least, he shall have the.
promise of many prayers, and our eyes
and hearts shall be focused on him.
"The beginning of the foreign mis-
sion movement should be sacrifice
from the whole American church. The
work is not diocesan, it is not provin-
cial. Great and glorious, it concerns
all the dioceses of the country, and it
is a witness and challenge to the
spirit of sacrifice in our young men.
This new priest shall be prayer for
us. May God bless his life and the
lives of his compartment"

REPULSIVE BILL TO COME
BEFORE LEGISLATURE.

Reports are current to the eff
feet that most detestable propo-
sition will again come up before
the legislature of Minnesota. A
bill that every decent woman,
Catholic or non-Catholic, should
fight to finish. Owing to the
repulsive nature of the PROPOSE
ton and as the sponsors of the
bill could not get any member to
present it before the legislature,
it was withdrawn, but it is said
that those responsible for it have
gained courage and will, before
the end of the session, make an
indefatigable effort to successful
ly railroad it through at the last
moment. Their aim is to place
upon the statutes of Minnesota a
bill called by the daily press,

name its sponsors aim to put it
through is not known. But TN
der whatever name it may come

and dreadful consequences, which

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-As the White

full games in the lead OF the Red
Sox, the Tigers and the Indians come
east to battle with the Yankees ana
Red Sox for third and second place.
Both the Cleveland and Detroit
clubs have been guilty OF causing
gobs of trouble for the champions
this year. Either club is likely to
assault the Boston position and the
Barry scrappers may get a severe
bump in their pennant fight.
Cleveland will get first crack at
the champions, opening series to-
day in Boston. The Tigers will be
visiting the Yankees.
While the Red Sox are battling the
two strong western clubs, the Chi
oagoans should be making hay, for
they will be meeting the Athletics
and Senators, two clubs that should
give little trouble.
The Philhes today are back in sec
ond place in the National league, but
they are SO far behind it is not worth
considering the difference at this
stage. The fact that the Giants will
open in Cincinnati today means very
little, since Philadelphia and Brook
