Popes Undoubtedly Aware Of Compact Between Italy, England

schemes and inclinations were drawing the
vatican's influence to the side of heSCentral
Powers was one of the determining factors
in bringing Italy into the war on the side of
the allies.
Nothing could be clearer than the fact
that Italy feared an Austro-German victory
would have it's effect in aiding the pope to
regain his temporal sovereignty over Italy;
and, that the allies, or rather France, Eng
land, and Russia, shared her belief in this
regard is demonstrated in the fact that they
entered into an agreement with Italy that
the pope should not be allowed to sit at, or
appoint delegate from the vatican to, the
ultimate peace conference.
We hardly believe it within the bounds of
possibility for such treaty to be signed
affecting the vatican as it does, without the
pope soon becoming cognizant of the fact.
1t is not improbable that his knowledge Of
that treaty was partly responsible for the
way leaders of the German Catholic party
and papers representative of that party's
sentiments so openly espoused the papal
ambitions, declaring that Germany might
yet be privileged to restore the papal states
to the pope.
Of course these men and papers then
counted on sweeping victory for Germany,
victory in which Italy should fall into Aus

rTHE vatican's shallow pretense, as re-
III fected in it's published reasons why
ISI the pope should not align himself
LII against the autocracy and militarism
of the German kaiser, is becoming more pat
ent each day. Not only is this the case, but
in addition demonstrative facts show what
might well be another reason for the pope's
interest in the success Of the Central Powers.
It will be remembered that a short time
ago there was published in Russia and re-
printed throughout the world, what pur-
ported to be an agreement entered into be-
tween Russia, France, England and Italy.
This so-called treaty was to the effect that
these nations had joined in agreeing that
the pope should not be allowed to sit in any
peace conference which might deal with the
world struggle into which Italy was just
then entering.
Those acquainted with Italy's history and
inclinations, as well as papal dominance of
the kingdom, which was broken only by the
determination to be free from vatican in
trigues from within, in order that the nation
might be able to combat the intrigues of the
pope's minions without, know that Italy has
always rightly feared the vaticans ambition
to regain the papal states. Indeed, Italy's
knowledge that papal ambition for return
of the papal states and her knowledge that

The United States had not been long in war until
the government recognized the fact that it must call
the big business men of the nation to assist it in work

great undertaking. AS a result some of the biggest
business men Of the nation have taken up headquar

it is right and shows wisdom on the part of the heads

III IN honor OF his slXty-flrSt birthday,
IN 'The Western Watchman" for De-
GSA cember 14th says, the pope is in ex-
cellent health and predicts that his will be
long reign. Then it states modern popes
have had a much longer reign than those Of
ancient times" Yes and there's a reason"
After the papacy began to be exposed and
men like Luther showed how one vicar of
Christ would be murdered by some person,
or agents of person, who would immediate
ly usurp the chair and the title, and how
the rivalry became so strong that three popes
were claiming the title at one time, the pa
pal church has been more careful and there
has been a reduction of murders and usurpa-
tions-which contributes nightly to the
longevity of popes.
Then too, the fragrant immortality of such
popes as Alexander vi, who kept his mistress
in the vatican and who INDUCED in orgies in
which unmentionable events transpired and
in which his own daughter figured, has de-
creased somewhat since the days Of the Ref
ormation. A Sixtus w, an Innocent VIII or
an Alexander vi would find it rather diff
cult to impress the world with the ''high-
ness" and "holiness" of his position in these
days of the printing press and the telegraph.

contains protein, fat and carbohydrates in weI-balanced proportions.
Whether wheat is cheap or dear, bread att almost any price is cheap food
when compared with meat There is no denying the fact that the welfed
man is a lover of good bread.
The stale bread delusion has cost the consumer as we'll as the baker a
great deal of money. It is foolish besides. When bread is first baked it con-
tans nearly 80 per cent of moisture. After a time some of this water escapes
The bread dries out, o as the baker says, goes stale" AS a matter Of fact,
the bread isn't stale it is just as wholesome, just as sweet just as satisfactory
as the moment when it left the wen and every loaf that is returned % the

Bread three days old, when properly kept, is just al good as when a dv
old. Why shouldn't it be? Bread baked in the home is always used up before
the ext baking. 1t does not dry out because it is wrapped and placed in a
bread box, where its moisture content is conserved. The average housewife
doesn't like % cut her homemade loaf until it is a day old, for its texturef il

JUDGE VAN FLEET ON THE
RIGHT or FREE SPEECH

Judge Van Fleet Of the United
states district court at San Francisco
laid down sound principles when he
charged the jury that is trying seven
men on charges OF conspiring to
hamper the enforcement Of the Sc
lective draft law.
Citizens are perfectly free. he said.
to express their views on all public
questions. 10 long as they are actuated
by an honest purpose and not for
the purpose OF obstructing the execu-
ton OF the laws OF the country.
In other words. motive Is the deter
mining test Of guilt or innocence, and
the jury will determine the motive
from the evidence laid before il.
No man. added Judge Van Fleet, has
a right TO carry the liberty OF free
speech to a point which i~nterferes
with the due execution of the law.
whore his opposition is not an honest
One. No man has a right to
advise his neighbor. or the public. to
obstruct the execution of the law. That
is beyond the liberty OF free speech
nisloyalty is not an honest motive.
sympathy with Prussian aims and
practices and a desire that Germany
shall be triumphant is disloyalty. And
d%isloyalty must not be allowed to
! shield itself behind the false plea of
FREQ press and free speech.
Undoubtedly this nation is Crap
ping with a great deal Of positive dis
loyalty. The kaiser has agents In the
United States as we'll as In Russia. and
the methods OF those agents have now
been partly barred to the people OF the
United States. They are revealed. as
President Wilson says. In the records
OF our courts. They are disclosed In
the diplomatic records of the German
embassy and the plots OF consular
agents to slay. burn, drown and de-
molish with bomb.
These sinister influences will try
TO mask their designs and deceive the
public with false calmor about free
dom OF speech and press and constitu-
tional rights.
The governments task now is the
sitting out OF the false from the sin
cere, and administering righteous pun
ishment to disloyal men who defy the
laws and incite seditious and traitor
our opposition to the war.-Spokes-
man Review.

folded arms. quibbled over wages and
hours. America must not be d~isgraced
by such a tragedy. Yet as We enter
the sixth month of the war, faced with
unprecedented demands for war pro-
duction, we face also strikes and
threats OF strikes which would cripple
factory and %shipyard.
Most timely therefore Is the recon-
m%endation OF the national Industrial
conference board 10 the council OF ma
tional defense that, during the period
OF the war. neither employers nor
employees shall endeayor TO take ad-
vantage OF the country's necessities TO
change existing standards" This
means that neither side shall attempt
10 open a closed" shop, or 10 close an
open shop.
Our industrial army Is as indispen-
sable 10 victory as the army in France.
The worker, union or nOn-unlon. is as
necessary In the factory as he Is In
the trenches. For the period OF the
war employer and employee should
periodically agree TO let no dispute
with the continuous. efficient
production which alone can equip and
sustain our military forces.-Leslie's
Weekly.
