FRANCIS JOSEPH HELPED
DIOCESE OF MILWAUKEE
LiberaIity of Late Emperor Respon
sibIe for Its Early Success, Semi
nary Rector Says.

To the liberality of the late Francis
Joseph was due the early success of
the Diocese of Milwaukee, is the
statement attributed to the Right Rev.
Monsignor Joseph Rainer, rector of
st. Francis Seminary in that diocese.
Monsignor Rainier said:
"The Milwaukee Diocese was formed
in 1874, and a little later the first
Bishop of Milwaukee was installed
John Martin Henni. The diocese had
no money with which to build a church
or a school or to get priest. The
Bishop, after failing to get the money
here, went to Europe to see what he
could do. In Austria there is society
for helping Catholic missions in this
country, of which Francis Joseph was
the protector. From this society
through the Intervention of Francis
Joseph, the Bishop received money
The Emperor himself also gave him
money. Francis Joseph was a very
liberal man, and always gave hun
dreds and thousands of dollars to such
things.

HISTORY MADE BY
PRESIDENT WILSON
Comment of Supreme Court Justice
Daniel r. CohaIan on President
Wilson's Message.

New York, Jan. 23.-"Whether we
are prepared under any circumstances
to abandon the advice of Washington
against entangling alliances-no mat
ter how Indirectly we may acts a
question that merits, and will receive,
the most careful consideration of the
people, before any change is made.
But undoubtedly the President spoke
what is in the minds of nine-tenths of
his countrymen as to the kind of peace
for which we hope: The equality of
nations upon which peace must be
founded if it is to last must be an
equality of rights; the guarantees ex-
changed must neither recognize nor
imply difference between big nations
and small, between those that are
powerful and those that are weak
"That declaration read with the
statements that governments derive all
their just powers from the consent of
the governed and that the seas must
alike in law and in fact be free, will
be hailed with delight by the liberty
loving people of the earth and with
dread by the friends of tyranny. The
great ideals upon which America was
founded stand out again clearly before
the eyes of all mankind and this ma
terial age is reminded that right and
not might. Justice and not eXpediency,
must dominate the earth.
"The message is warning to Rus
STA that Poland must be free, to Ger
many that Belgium must be free and
more than all to England that Ireland,
not alone for her own good but in or
der to establish the freedom of the
seas, must be restored to independence
and to her place among the nations of
the earth.

nestness which may surprise some of
his readers that pro-Germanism makes
no appeal to the most of them. They
want independence, not simply a
change of masters.
There is nothing more interesting in
the article than its authors sketch of
the character and work for Ireland of
Eoin MacNeill, editor of the Irish Vol
! untecr. Mr.. Byrne writes of this man,
who would have hindered the Sim
! Fein uprising, if he could: "MacNeill
is a man of extraordinary erudition
and ability. He is informed with a
crystal soul. know that he
had no German leanings. His
only object was to defend the rights
of Ireland, to stem the swelling tide
OF British oppression"
Be it said, however, that the advo-
Gates OF force were not secret in their
methods and preparations: though
strangely enough MacNeill, though
| chairman of the Irish Volunteers, was
| unaware of the full extent of the ac-
tivities of the inner ring, of which
James Connolly was the moving spirit.
Connolly has paid with his life for
his prominence in the uprising Of last
Easter. MacNeill. drawn into certain

the uprising, is now life-prisoner at
Dartmoor. 1t is true that he had no
heart at any hour for physical force
movements, thus far futile. On April

eral Maxwell, commander of the forces

the outbreak and prevent further

BERLIN ORDERS STRICT RESPECT
FOR U. S. RIGHTS.

Amsterdam, Jan. 10.
The German Naval Staff, bent upon
completely Gripping the shipments of
supplies, arms and ammunition to Eng
land and France from North and South
America, has worked out a careful
plan, of which the German raiders
activities are only one feature. This
was learned on reliable authority to-
day.
Fighting submarines of the latest
and most powerful type are to co
operate with raiders, and every pos
sible effort will be made to cut off Eng
land completely from overseas ship
ments.
The chief aim is said to be the pre-
vention of accumulation Of ammunition
and supplies for the Spring offensive.
German commanders are said tt
have received the strictest orders tt
avoid loss of life and any violation o
American neutrality.

OPPOSED TO NAMING
SCHOOL IN MEMORY
OF DR.. MURPHY

In a speech suppressed by all seven
of the big downtown Chicago dailies,
Dr. Clemensen said at the school board
meeting recently:
"Protestants and Catholics were
united in paying tribute to the skill
and the ability of DR.. Murphy as Il
surgeon and scientist. did not think
any one could be so petty and small
as to protest against giving his name
to that of Chicago school.
This is not question of religion.
1t is question of whether John b.
Murphy was great scientist, surgeon
and humanitarian. l know from per-
sonal experience that he was a great
surgeon, that he was recognized as
such the world over.
Only small-minded people would
find fault with the plan to name a
school after DR.. Murphy in this COM
munity where he had spent his life
When l was abroad l found Protest
ants and Catholics united in their love
and admiration for this surgeon and
believe this community should be
equally broad-minded."
For the first time since Jake Loeb
became president of the school board
the religious issue has leapcd from
the ambushts where it has operated
hitherto and is now more in the day
light and closer to the middle of the
street where everybody can look at it.
Dr. Peter C. Clemensen, school trus-
tee, who backed up Jake Locb's attack
on the Teachers Federation June : by
voting for Loeb's decision to drop GS
teachers without notice or trial. is
serving notice on the Jake Loeb organ
ization that he will stick to a finish for
his resolution to have the new Grand
Crossing school named after DR.. John
b. Murphy.
AS a member of the Guardians of
Liberty" and frequent speaker on
the need for "Americanism" in the
public schools, Dr. Clemenscn became
known as an enemy of the Teachers
Federation. Later he served notice
that lie regarded Jake Locb's whole.
sale dismissal of teachers without trial
or notice as too sudden, amounting to
wrecking the civil service and being
in reality an attack on the whole teach.
ing force and the public school system
instead of an attack on the Teachers
Federation. This split with Jake Loeb
has been further widened through the
attempt of Clemensen to have the
Grand Crossing school named after DR..
Murphy.

CONDITIONS As They
EXIST IN IRELAND
(By Francis Sheehy Skeffington.)

By Francis Sheehy Skeffington.)
The death of my husband was not
an isolated act. but part of an organ
lied pogrom instituted by the Brit
ish military authorities to destroy all
Irish sympathiZers. We have evidence
OF fifty other military murders COM
mitted in Dublin on unarmed civilians
and disarmed prisoners.
AS to the state of lreland,-and that
is, after all, what mainly concerns me.
We are faced with the two spectres of
conscription and famine; of death by
starvation or death in the trenches.
But the spirit of Ireland has never
been stronger than it is at the pres
ent time, and have been told to tell
YOU here by lrisllmen at home that
they will die at home rather than be
conscriptcd. AS the result of the ris-
ing, as the result of the terrible meth.
DDS of oppression, it has been clearly
shown, and is shown in Ireland today,
that no nation can be held by force;
and that the aspiration after liberty
cannot be quelled by shot or shell.
The lesson of the Irish rising and it's
suppression is that our small national
ity, Ireland, has a right to it's place in
the sun, and that when the day of set
tlement comes its voice will not be
stlled
AS to the Irish Republicans, am
proud to call them my friends, Traitors
according to Great Britain. 1t has
been well said, Treason doth never
prosper" What is the reason? When
treason prospcrs, none dare call it
treason. Your treason prospered, and
therefore you are a free republic to-
day. If by any chance your treason
had miscarried where would your lead
crs be? In quicklimc graves. Tried
by court-martial and hanged by the
neck until they were dead.
or the Republicans, not only Pearce
-McDonough, Plunkott, Madame Mar
N'SNlSL, IholutS NldIhc. OH llOSCr
Easement; all have to say about them
and know what l am speaking Of
they fought clean fight against ter
rible odds.
Their Red Cross was repeatedly fired
upon; the British Rod Cross was used
to bring up arms and ammunition;
! yet they never retaliated. They held
the Four Courts and the General Post
Office for days, and their enemies tes-
titled afterwards to the wonderful way
in which the record and the stock had
been spared. And lastly, and not the
least important to me, theirs was the
first republic in the whole world that
| cXcelled even yOurs-because it gave
citizenship to the women of ireland
as we'll as to the men and it gave wom-
en- from the start places on the provi-
| sional government.
1t was a dream you say. One day
the American republic was only a
dream; and one day the Irish Republic
may be reality.
