The Jesuits and Jesuitism are the influence,
primarily responsible for this war. Examine
carefully the pro-German movement In the
United States and II will be founu largely A
German Catholic propaganda which BY its
sinister and organized strenuous activities has
enabled few to compromise the many.
Sleuth around the German Catholic colony in
close proximity to 4th and Girard Ave-, Phila-
delphia. Pa. and you'll be convinced.
AS we write these lines the news
reaches US that the munitions plant
Of the Baldwin Locomotive Works in
Philadelphia, and many precious lives,
were destroyed; the probabilities be-
ing, in spite of contradictions, that
this is the work of German spies
or one who has been trained to
place the demands of foreign SOW
ereignties before the demands of Or
derby, law-abiding democracy.
Considering all the facts confrma-
tive of the papacy's interest in the
present war there is seemingly no es-
cape from the conclusion that THE
MENACE long ago reached: e. l., that
the Roman Catholic political machine
is the deadliest menace to free insti-
tutions and liberties in America. Nay
more, we must broaden the scope Of
the statement and include that same
machine today as a partner with its
rightful sympathizer, autocratic des-
potism, which is seeking to suppress
the Liberties of the world.

committed by this concordat, or treaty
affecting Servia to advance Cathoi-
icism and thus nullify the constructive
freedom that patriotic Serbians had
been at such pains to maintain
against all comers and thus was it
made plain that Austria's declara-
tion of war was merely the out
growth of the Serbian patriots re-
fusal to submit to a concordat which
would bring to Rome's church certain
pecuniary and other benefits and
serve to bring about an extension of
papal favors in the Balkan states as
well as place Serbian destiny in the
hands of Austria Hungary.
Vatican In the Fray
After the war began numerous hap
penings served, not only to make the
Italian people further distrust the
vatican but, to show conclusively that
the vatican looked with favor upon
the central powers. Among these
probably no single instance Is more
significant than a dispatch which ap-
peared in the American press on
January 9th and 9th. 1t Is hardly
necessary to say that Italy was at
this time very actively opposing Aus
tria and Germany. The dispatch
follows:

Ing Of 100000 recruits, otherwise than by
cOnSeription, Mr.. Redmond will back him up.
If Rome is not looking upon Eng
land as her foe and upon the defeat
of England's enemies as catastrophe
how can we account for such an ut
terance as the above which is really a
mild sample of the articles appearing
in The HibeTnidn from week to week
displaying that peculiar brand of
Hibernian patriotism? And, by way of
furnishing further food for thought,
why did Rome incite revolution in
favor of home rule to harass Eng
land while opposing the same rule for
the Filipinos through her papal con-
gressmen in our own national assem-
bly,? No matter what the object the
papacy is the man behind the gun.
Rome and the Kaiser In Mexico
Again, why should the Austro- Ger
mans turn to the Mexican people to
, make trouble for America when she
feared this country might enter the
world war? Is it because the clericals
of Mexico whom Rome has been exert
ing every effort to get US to assist,
if backed by German (?) dollars,
would harass our borders in the hope
of material later help in their own
campaign to re-establish the papal
church in Mexico.
Carranza, aware of the papal in
fiuences, 1t Is said by many would
hardly lend himself to such scheme,
and thus do they indicate the fore
gone conclusion that Germany's deal
ings are with the papal interests. One
Archbishop Mora Y del Rio, a Mexican
ecclesiastic has been exerting every
influence in an effort to gain sufficient
strength, financially and otherwise, to
set him on his ecclesiastical throne.
Will the Austro-Germans assist him?
The Real Menace
And, now to come to further
facts which we have every reason to
believe exist in our own borders. We
know America is full of German spies.
President Wilson, in his address urg-
ing the government to accept the war
thrust upon us, said of spies in Amer
lea:
One Of the things that has served to con-
vince Us that the Prussinn autocracy was not
and could never be our friend IL that from
the very outset Of the present war Il has
filled our unsuspecting communities and even
our Offices Of government with spies, and
set criminal intrigues everywhere afoot against

THE ISSUE

KalseTs, czars. sultans and popes
have all claimed . power above the
sovereignty Of the people wherever they
have had the power 10 enforce their
autocratic DEGREES. Liberal Democracy
declares that the people are the true
source Of government and the rightful
sovereign power Of the state. This
was the mighty world issue raised
when the Declaration Of Independence
was launched against all kinds Of auto
cratic despOtismS, and this 10 the su-
preme governmental Issue today.
Upon this democratic theory Plus

Ones, infallibie utteraness. The pres

DEMOCRACY AND THOSE OF AU-

fact an explanation Of the bitter snesr
Of the pops's personal organ, "0s-
servatore Romano" against President
Wilson for ranging our country on the
side Of fundamental and liberal de-
moeraey! Certain II Ia that their

Some MystenouN Sympathetic

maehinists were aboard the ships at the time
Of their destruction and on each occasion es-
capped uninjured. They were followed to
VRlente's house In Rome and were there ar
rested.
If the vatican's sympathies are not
with the central powers how can such
news as the above be explained?
Added to the vatican's sympathy with
Austria through the Serbian concor-
dat, or treaty, and her hostility to
Italy shown in the dispatch Just
quoted are other well known facts not
yet taken into consideration which
show that the sympathy existent be-
tween the Austro- German alliance
and the vatican might easily be SO
strong as to work to the financial ad-
vantage of the former,
Does it not appear significant that
Austria-Hungary, a Roman Catholic
nation, was the first to declare war
and that Germany, the southern por-
ton Of which is dominantly Roman
Catholic, readily seconded Austria's
arrogant demands in face of the
earnest protest of the other great
powers which sought to avert the war?
Is it matter of no import that in
the Austro-German alliance almost
two to one of the early participants
in the war at least, were Romanists
while with the allies considerably the
reverse even in proportion to popula-
tion was the rule and not the excep-
ton?
Now that we have line on Rome's
sympathy with the Austro- German
Alliance, let US see if she shows any
animosity to the allied powers, etc.
Hatred of England
No one of many similar utter.
