New York Jury
Fails To Agree
JURY SPLITS ON CASE OF JERRY
o'LEARY'S BROTHER.

New York, July 20-A jury in the
federal court here today reported it's
inability to agree on verdict in the
trial of j. ]. O'Leary, for alleged OBJ
struction of justice, and was dis
charged.
OLeary was accused of aiding the
escape to the West last May of his
brother, jeremiah A. O'Leary, Sim
Fein leader, who was about to be tried
for publishing alleged seditions maga-
zine articles.
The jury had been out 81 hours when
it reported it's disagreement early this
afternoon. 1t was understood the
members were about evenly divided on
the final ballot.
O'Leary will remain under $4,000
bond until Monday, when counsel will
confer on the question of another trial.
This was the second time the defen-
dant had faced jury, the previous
trial not being completed owing to
the disqualification of one of the jurors.

British Subjects
Must Enlist
No Escape for Men 20 to ~
Years.

In statement issued today by Ma
jor T. W. Anderson, chief of the Brit
ish- Canadian recruiting mission, it is
said the American British draft conyen-
ton provides for the induction of Brit
ish and Canadian subjects Of the ages
of 20 to "A years inclusive into the
American army in case they fail to
enlist in their own armies in the spec
flied period.
Major Anderson asserted the state
ment given the press by Edmund G.
Walton, British vice consul in Min
neapolis, to the effect only British and
Canadian subjects of American draft
age would be subject to induction in
the American army is in error. He
said the statement by Mr.. Walton was
based on incomplete information which
the latter had received.
"Those Britishers who are between
the ages of 20 and "a inclusive and
not already registered will be called
upon by the President to register on a
date to be made public shortly. Fol
lowing that registration they will be
allowed 80 days in which to enlist in
the British or Canadian forces, failing
which they will be subject to induc-
ton in the American forces" Major
Anderson said.

Superintendent of Public Schools
Defends Parish School Education

To many who keep only in super
fcial touch with current events, it
may seem that the Catholic educators
of the nation may seem little too
scary in having decided to make the
anti-parochial school movement one Of
the big questions at their forthcoming
convention in San Francisco; but no
one who is following the trend Of
these times can deny that there is
plenty of reason to organize. Florida
already has a law under which, ac-
cording to the notorious anti-Catholic
Governor Cats, it is possible to throw
out church schools. DR.. Charles S..
Chadsey, former superintendent of the
Denver public schools, now of Detroit,
found it necessary recently to come
to the defense of the parish school
system there. The Detroit Free Press
said of this:
Parochial schools of the Catholic
and Lutheran faith not only take care
of the education of $4,000 children,
half as many as are provided for by
the public educational system of De-
troit, but are efficient, allowing grad
yates to enter public high schools.

Foch Asked Prayer
For His Intentions
Mysterious Message Whispered tc
Girl Communicates in French
Parishes.

London, July 23.-General Foch is
not only scientific soldier and a keen
analyst, but is devout Catholic with
a touch of the mystic. History may
ask in vain whether the great strate-
gist ascribes the German breakdown
and his great victory between the
Aisne and the Marne more to his own
plans and dispositions and the valor
of troops, or to prayers offered by
scores of thousands of young girls in
France and England, who have scarce
ly heard his name or comprehended
the war.
Last Sunday mysterious message
was whispered by the priests in thou
sands of parishes to the girl commune
cants under their charge. They were
asked: "Pray for the intentions of
General Foch.'
Without understanding the meaning
of the message any more than did the
priests who gave it to them, the chill
dren prayed, and one of the great de-
fensive successes of the war was
quickly followed by a brilliant attack.
There is no direct confirmation of the
natural inference that General Foch
himself asked the prayers of the chill
dren, but no other explanation seems
to fit the facts.
The use of the word Intentions" !"
which seems to have been universal in
the message given to the children, now
is seen to refer to the secretly planned
Franco-American offensive. Had Gen.
eral Foch only desired prayers that the
German offensive might be stopped
he hardly would have used this word

In opposing the movement of the

considerable element could support
the plan of the league. In the first

were turned over to the public schools
the system of public education in the
city would be paralyZed.
"As it is now," he said, "the largest
parish schools are in the districts
where the public schools are taxed to
capacity. In many of the districts the
parish school enrolment is fully as
large as our own. If the parish
schools were closed in these districts
we would be forced to double our
equipment. Even il taken over, a
large amount of money would have to
be spent on them.

How the Election Of Griffith Was Re-
ceived-Bonfires, Speeches and =
Parades in Many Places.

Few Irish election results in recent
times have been SO generally cele-
brated, perhaps, as Mr.. Griffith's VIC
tory in East Cavan. From all parts
of the country even the most remote,
reports of demonstrations have been
received, which, usually took the form
of professions with bands and light
ed torches, public meetings, and bon
fires. In few instances some Incl
dents of disturbing nature occurred,
due to the interference of the authori-
ties, as in Tralee, where there were
rather exciting scenes.
The police, it is stated, attempted
to prevent a pipers' band playing
through the streets, and the members
refusing to desist, the crowd, COM
posed largely of young boys and girls,
was dispersed, several receiving nasty
injuries from batons and butts of
rifles. Stones were flung in retalia-
tion, and some policemen were struck.
The military were summoned, and
after about two hours of panic the
streets were cleared and the bonfires
extinguished

Being Sent to Soldiers.

The New York Sun calls attention
to an astonishing slip or worse made
by the Postmaster General. A maga-
zine has been established in New Jer-
sey called the "Good Citizen" whose
purpose is to denounce the Catholic
Church. The "Sun" says the magazine
caricatures the Church in offensive
fashion and abuses it's priesthood.
Perhaps in a free country such pub
lication is permissible, however i'm
proper, but the surprise and disgust
of it is that on this same publication
is the announcement signed by the
Postmaster General that it may be
mailed for 1 cent to the soldiers
abroad. That isn't the stuff they want.
Its receipt might and probably would
inspire indignation.

Dublin and Tyrone Merchants Held
Ammunition Hid in Bags

J. J. Keane, corn factor, Smithfield
Market, Dublin, and VIM. Cullen, 8
St. Joseph's Terrace, Fairview, have
been arrested in connection with the
seizure at the formers store at Smith
field of 1872 bags containing corn and
10000 rounds Of 1903 ball cartridge,
weighing 10 tons in all. Mr.. Keane
is in the Bridewell, pending the de-
cision of the military authorities as
to the charge to be preferred against
him. Cullen, it is understood, will
be charged in relation to the ordering
of conveyances. The seizure was
made on Sunday night, and the mate
rial, which was removed in military
wagons to the Castle Yard stores, is
stated to be part Of cargo landed
at Northern port during last week.
Disclaiming all prior knowledge of
the consignment, Mr.. Keane says
that the name of famous Birming-
ham firm of ammunition makers was
plainly marked on portion of the am
munition he saw when detective
opened one Of the parcels.
The Press Association states that
the cartridges seized form only por-
tion of quantity surreptitiously land
ed in Ireland, and that of the consign-
ment located in Smithfeld a substan-

Amsterdam, July 22.-"This is a

orr says Maximillian Harden in dis
cussing in Die Zukunft the recent
statement made by Chancellor Won
Hertling concerning Belgium.
Can country be regarded as an
independent state which is only to be
returned to the owners when negotia-
tions with 20 other states have reached
a favorable conclusion? Can a coun-
try be regarded as independent which
before it's return must undertake to
adopt its policy and economy and con-
sequently it's entire state life to the
will of an enemy power still ruling it's
soil, which must guarantee that power
against British, French and American
thirst for revenge and must even be
friends of that power and grant it
privileged conference.
international law forbids Germany
to retain even one pebble of Belgian
streets and commands Germany to re-
store Belgium to the conditions before
invasion. Is Belgium, as chancellor,
state secretary and an ambassador
have confessed, an innocent victim of
German self defense? Then we have
to ask it's foriveness and not force con-
ditions upon it, This is question Of

western corner of Belgium, where
its little army is valiantly holding
its strip of land against the Hun
hordes. Belgian soldiers and refu-
gees are laying the ground for the
re-occupancy of their lands.
Entire villages have been
planned and laid out with the
help of the Red Cross. and schools
for the young who are to rebuild
the nation are in every hamlet
The latest and most striking ac-
complishment of these Belgians is
the establishment of a university
right at the front for the benefit

The university has all modern
appliances; chairs, heat, electric
light
At present courses are being
given in rhetoric. poetry, modern
languages and courses for candiS
dates for the degrees in philoso-
ply and literature. Engineering
courses will soon be added.
1t took weeks of search before
competent professors could be en-
gagged. Many of them held respon-
sible positions in the army and
could not be relieved from duty.
A soldier who is eligible for a
course and anxious to follow II is
detached and sent to live at unit
maintained near the university. He
stays there til his course is com
pleted and then returns to the
front At present there are more
than 200 students taking advantage
of the courses.
