DIScRIMlN NATI0N
AGAINST IRISH
English and Scotch Manufacturer
Are Thriving on War Orders While
lreland's Hands Are Idle.
Lord NorthcIiffe's Criticisms Regard
Ing Munition Manufacturing Also
Applies to Spirits Trade.
LABOR TROUBLES MAY RESULT.

The London correspondent of the
Irish Independent" understands that
all distilling is at present suspended
except for the production of yeast and
alcohol for use in the manufacture of
munitions throughout the whole Of the
United Kingdom, and that issue of
orders regarding distilleries had been
made which did not apply to the Unit
ed Kingdom all around.
1t is improbable that the resump-
tion of distilling will be permitted in
the near future.
BY prohibiting grain for pot-still
whiskey the Government is going far
to ruin the whole distinctive whiskey
trade of Ireland. There are only a
few pot-stills in Scotland. They will
be affected, but not to the extent of
the Irish pot-stills, as the Scots make
only "heavy whiskey" for blending
with patent whiskey, and when re-
leased from restriction could soon sup
ply enough for blending to re.stock
their market. Irish pot-still is "se-
lect" whiskey, each sold under its spe-
cial distiller's name and ranks, accord
ing to it's maturity and age.
A Sinister Scheme.
A prominent authority in the trade
stated that there was a big and sim
lister scheme on foot which was tying
the hands of the Food Controller even,
and using him as pawn in the game
of trade jealousy. "The Scottish and
English distilleries are working over
time and thriving now in making mu-
milton spirit" he said, "and getting all
the barley and other grain they can
use. Irish pot-stills cannot make this
spirit and are kept idle. The others
are SO vindictive against the Irish
pot-stills trade, however, that they
threaten to strike unless they get any
concession to make patent spirit for
market such as may be granted to
Irish pot-distillers, and this ultimatum
appears to be the main cause of the
Controllers Order.
A Selfish Attitude.
ut is a most selfish and grasping
attitude of the English and Scottish
whiskey combine. Their trade Is not
endangered by the stoppage of a sea-
sons distilling, but the Irish trade will
be practically extinguished. Enough
patent spirit can be made any time
to flood the market, but Irish pot.still
must be regulated so that seasons
output when it comes Of age will only
about suffice for one years consump-
tion. If season is lost now it means
for a whole year, in the near future,
there will be nothing but patent spirit
and blends on the market.

The December number of The
Queens Work gives an interesting ac-
count of the recent formation of a
Union of Catholic Women's Associa-
tions. The main features of the ac-
count are as follows:
For some time past a very great
many individual efforts were being
made in various cities to provide
homes and centers of sociability for
Catholic young women, along the lines
of the Y. w. C: A. buildings, but until
now no communication existed among
the Catholic Women's Leagues and
other organizations in charge of these
activities, so that, when Catholic
girl in one city applied for informa-
tion as to a place to stop in when she
was visiting or working in another
place, it was impossible to give her
the address of other homes, though
they were known in general to exist.
Moreover, the widening out of wom-
ans activities, as result of the war,
accentuated the need Of general fed
GRAFTON of Catholic women to bring to
each society the advantages of CO.
operation, exchange of experience and
suggestions, and the encouragement
that comes from union. Though so
much is being done by Catholics in
Red Cross work and the activities in
behalf of the soldiers, still there is no
way of bringing all this before the
public; and hence the !edif1cation and
honor that would accrue to the Church
is in some measure lost. So that the
time for forming general federation
of Catholic Women's Associations
seemed to have come. For this rea-
son delegates from The Catholic Wom-
ems Saturday Afternoon Club, Buffalo,
N. Y; Catholic Women's League,
Dubuque, Iowa; Catholic Woman's
League, Chicago, ILL.,; Catholic Wom-
ems League of Indiana, Indianapolis,

CATHOLIC W0MAN'S ASSOCIATIONS FORM
NATIONAL UNION TO AID VISITING women

ems Club, Scranton, Pa; and the Min.
neapolis League of Catholic Women,
Minneapolis, Minn., assembled ON No.
vember 10 and II in the rooms of the
Loyola School of Sociology, Chicago,
and were addressed by the editor of
The Queens Work, Rev. F. Sieden-
burg, Dean of the School, and An.
thony Matre, National Secretary of
A. F. c. S. The object of the meeting
was explained and an outline given
of the situation of Catholic women's
activities in the United States. The
matter was earnestly debated by all
the delegates present and at the end
of the two days session a Constitu-
tion and Bylaws were adopted. Thor.
ough consideration and discussion
were given to every detail of this
work, so as to insure a thoroughly
practical and efficient and permanent
union.
1t was then decided to adopt ten.
tative organization and to carry back
the plan to the local societies, so that
action might be taken before the next
meeting of delegates. The Constitu-
tion having been adopted in this tenta-
tive way by unanimous vote of the
delegates, the following temporary Of
ficers were elected to hold until the
next meeting of the delegates: Presi.
dent, Mrs. R. A. Walsh, st. Paul,
Mimi; first vice president, Mrs. David
Foley, Buffalo, N. Y; second vice pres
ident, Mrs Robert c. Wills, Scranton,
Pa; third vice president, Miss Marion
E. Welch, Rockford, ILL.,; fourth vice
president, Mrs. Thomas Burns, Chi
cago, ILL.,; recording secretary, Miss
Mayme Rice, Indianapolis. Ind; CORE
spending secretary, Miss M. A. Hoban,
Scranton, Pa; treasurer, Mrs. Teresa
Molamphy, Pittsburgh, Pa. The other
delegates present were made members
of the Board of Associate Presidents
for their respective dioceses.
The delegates expressed themselves
highly pleased with the results of the
conference, and returned to their own
localities bearing with them the mes
sage of the plan Of cooperation by
which it is hoped to interest all the
Catholic women's societies in doing
their part in the work of coordination
and cooperation, while avoiding any
interference with local activities or
with the independence of existing so
cieties.

Miss Louise Sullivan, Detroit, Mich.

WILL The POPE
Leave ROME
Rumor Spreads That the Holy Father
May Go To Spain To Reside-Free-
dom Of Action Hampered by Living
In a 6elligerent Nation-Peace Rec
ords Of Pontiffs As the Common
Fathers Of Christendom.

The old rumor about the Pope con-
templating quitting Rome is revived.
Ever since Sandman troops despoiled
the Holy See of its temporalities ru-
mors have been abroad about the Sue
cessor of st. Peter quitting the Vati.
can and seeking elsewhere the perfect
freedom of action so necessary for
the full discharge of the most sacred
duties ever imposed upon mortal man.
During the Pontificate of Leo XIII
these reports were of frequent occur
renee. The first time they have been
revived since the election of Benedict
XIV was when cablegram announced
last Tuesday that the Holy Father con-
templated taking up his residence in
Spain with a view to working more
effectively for the restoration of peace.
AS Rome has long been rival of Lon
don in the matter of disseminating
false news, reports emanating from 1t
must be taken with the proverbial
grain of salt. Here is the cablegram in
question::
Rome, Nov. 10.
It is asserted in various quarters
here, especially in Vatican circles,
that pourparlers have taken place with
regard to the Pope going to Spain
as the guest of King Alfonso.
If the Pontiff should take this step,
it would be due to the difficulty of
taking the attitude he desires to as
sumo with regard to the war as long
as he resides in a belligerent country.
The report we are dealing with may
or may not rest on substantial basis.
In either case what it emphasizes is
the need for the Father Of Christen-
dom to enjoy freedom of action. He
can never have that in perfect fullness
If he is in any way hampered by the
civil power. Think for moment what
would be his position today If he were
a subject of any of the belligerent
powers. In that case, his recent ef-
forts in behalf of peace would have
been open to the suspicion that he was
working in the interest of the country
of which he was resident. The
result would be that his peace sug-
gestions would carry with them no
more weight than those proffered by
leading statesmen of the belligerent
nations who, of course, are primarily
concerned with safeguarding the inter
ests of their own country. The Father
of Christendom, who is equally at
home in all countries, is not Influenced
by merely national considerations. His
sympathies take in the whole world,
as there is no land under the Gun
where his spiritual children cannot be
found.
There never was in all history any
power comparable with that welded
by him who sits in the Chair Of Peter.

PAYING FOR LIBERTY BONDS.

On November Is, which was the
date on which the first installment on
Liberty Loan Bonds was due, approxi
mately $2,4OO,0OO,OOO was paid in,
although less than a third of that
amount was due.
In other words, nearly two-thirds of
the aggregate subscriptions to the
Second Liberty Loan have been paid
in full, the purchasers not availing
themselves of the right to wait until
December Is and January Is to make
their other payments.
