granted to the Knights of Columbus
and they hold sacred meetings in their
buildings for the purpose OF initiation
and the same is true of other canton
ments." The War Department replies

understanding that they are open al
all times to all soldiers, and it is
specifically provided that no initia
tions or other rites are to be held by
them or by others in the camps

never seen a malicious attack upo1
the moral character of Protestan
minister or layman in the columns o
any Catholic paper. l have neVe
seen the virtue of Protestant woman
hood questioned therein. But during
the twenty years that l occupied ;
pew in the Baptist meeting house,
heard the Catholic Church accused Q
almost every offence imaginable, ant
not always in language that wa
choice, or in a spirit that was char
liable. In fact, it was abuse of al
things Catholic that aroused within
me a desire to learn something of ;
religion SO strongly opposed and 81
roundly abused"
