INDEPENDENT BOHEMIA
IMPORTANT DECLARATION BY
THE CZECH CLERGY.

The Czech priests of all the dioceses
of Bohemia met at Prague this month
and adopted the following declaration:
Conscious of having come from the
people and remaining united to them
by indissoluble ties of blood, of lam
guage, and common traditions, we
shall be with them in the warfare and
suffering, which they endure, until the
day of victory. Faithful to the ven
cradle traditions of the Slav apostles,
IS. Cyril and Methodius, we declare
that the manifesto of our writer's and
deputies and the national oath are the
exact expression of the sentiments of
the Catholic clergy and the most pro-
found convictions of our souls.
The creation of an Independent
Czecho-Slovak state will respond, we
consider, to the demands of our po-
liticaI history 1t is the will of God.
A perfect entente is the indispensable
condition of the realization of our de-
sires. We declare, in consequence,
that only the Czech union is qualified
to negotiate in the name of the ma
ton; and we disavow all separate ne
gotiations on the subject of the des-
tinies of our country.

EXEMPT IN FRANCE

Negotiations are in progress be-

and Representatives in Washington of
the French Government to prevent
agents of the American Red Cross, Y.
NJ C. A., the Knights of Columbus and
similar organizations working with the
American army in France from being

Under strict construction of the draft
treaties men of military age so en-

that men engaged in such work in
France be given a recognized status
as attached to the American Expedi

appeal to the Catholic children Of

by the English children when things
looked darkest for the Allied cause.

written him as follows:

And Nathaniel said unto him, Can

Nazareth? Philip said unto him,
Come and see
We know what that good thing was
that came out of Nazareth. We know
that it was in the little town of Naza-

hood, under the care and tutelage of
Joseph and the gentle Mary. And to-
day we know that, for the first time
in centuries upon centuries, Nazareth
is under the rule and protection of the
Christian, civilized powers, and freed
forever from the domination of the
Turk.
Nearly 1000 years ago it was that
the religion of humanity, of right and
Justice, came out of Nazareth. Now
after years of Saracen and Turkish
mal-administration, good thing has
come again into Nazareth in the shape
of the forces of humanity, of right and

To realize the significance of these
figures one must take into account the
intensity of the propaganda, the utter
recklessness regarding money and the
uses to which it is put, the way in
which proselytisers have toiled and
moi1ed late and early to make CON
verts" to show results to their pay
masters. The official figures manifest
the utter failure to prevent the Ro-
mans in any way except to rob some
of them of their faith altogether. The
italian will be Catholic or an Athe-
ist. No halfway house for such a
keen intellect as is his. Sometimes
he may be Catholic of not the most
perfect kind. But one thing is certain
he will never be a convinced

Spokesman in the council,
Statesman in the state,
High priest amid the priestly,
In thy coffin, even, great.

The wrong to overcome,
Thy words are darts still winged,
Although thy lips are dumb.

Above the worlds acclaim,
In Honor's long white silences
A glory crowns thy name.
Rest, true and faithful shepherd,
In peace beside thy sheep,
The Resurrection Angel
