London, Feb. 21.-Public attention
has been focused once more on the
secret treaty with Italy this week,
owing to the amendment moved by
MIR. Mexican, NJ. p, for South Mona
ghan that the action of the Govern
ment in adhering to Clause XIV there
OF was likely to prejudice the Allied
cause by sowing discomfort among the
Catholic soldiers and sailors of the
British forces and affecting the morale
OF Catholics at home. Mr.. Mexican
also asked whether it was not the eX-
istence Of the clause which had pre-
vented the British Government from
replying to the Papal note of August
1, last year.
Lord Robert Cecil, in his reply. said
the terms of the secret treaty and the
action with regard to the Papal note

Government, and did not constitute
any insult or disrespect to the Pope or
the religion over which he presided.

clause preclude the interference of the
Pope in all matters connected with the
war, the speaker said.

services which the Pope had already
rendered the belligerents in the inter

clared that the British Government
had availed themselves of these ser
vices with gratitude. lie declared
further that the real gist of the clause

support that objection. lie pointed out

Catholic Standard and Times.)
There had been mighty effort, be-
fore the world war began, to make
believe that the Holy Father, as head
of the mighty Catholic Church, was a
parsonage of no consequence in the
world now. When the hurricane of con-
fiict which the Teutons called up be-
gan to be felt in the full force of it's
fury, the ropes that had been drawn
taut to secure gates and walls to
check the ravage began to snap like
twigs in the tornado, and soon those
wise in the ways of the unleashed
wrath of the elements began to cast
about for shelter and succor. Bishop
Keating, of Northampton, England,
spoke Indignantly at Liverpool Univer-
sity, recently, on the pitiful ostrich
play indulged in by soi-disant states
men, "evangelistic" demagogues, and
church brawlers of the Kensit brand,
when it was mildly suggested that the
Holy Father, who had, not long before,
arbitrated between Germany and Spain
in the Caroline Islands imbroglio,
might with advantage be appealed to
again. The contemplate action adopt
ed by these guerilla francstireurs was
scathingly held up to the scorn of the
just by the eloquent prelate. He said:
although England had from the
first recognized that it was to her ad-
vantage to keep on good terms with
the Pope, in violent contrast to the
official attitude had been the behavior
of certain individuals, who had been
engineering a persistent no-Popery
campaign. The Kensitites had been
reinforced on this occasion by most
unlikely and unaccustomed allies-by
Anglican Bishops and Deans and lead
ing Nonconformists, by High Church
men suspected of RomaniZing tenden-
cies and by Evangelicals, by the secu-

Veteran Parliamentarian Chosen to
Succeed Redmond.
Forty Years Fighting for Ireland's
Rights.
His Great Executive Ability and Skill
in Debate.
His Father a '4s Rebel Leader.

Dublin, Ireland, March 7.-When
asked to make statement on the Ma
tionalist Party policy, yesterday, John
Dillon, who succeeded John Redmond
as chairman of the Nationalist Party,
declared that to do so would not, in
his opinion, serve any useful purpose,
until the results of the Irish conven'
tion were made public.
Those who remember the story of
how the two sections of the National
ist Party were brought together, in
the year 1900, will read with inter
est the announcement that John Dillon
has been chosen to succeed John Red
mond in the Irish leadership. For it
was John Dillon who insisted on sur
rendering the leadership of the ma
jority in favor of the leader of the
minority in order that the rent. which
had been caused by the internecine
struggle of the Parnellites against the
anti-Parnellites should be healed. 1t
must, indeed, have meant no slight
sacrifice on the part Of Mr.. Dillon to
take the step he did.
Mr.. Redmond, with his little rem
nant of Parnellites, had come to rep
resent, what in point of numbers might
have seemed almost negligible guam
tity in the House of Commons. But
Mr.. Dillon saw further than this. He
saw that Mr.. Redmond and some of
Mr.. Redmonds followers represented
much of what was best in the move
ment. and he saw that so long as the
breach continued it would be practical
ly impossible for the movement to be
successful 1t was therefore as early
as the year 1896 that he first broached
the question of reunion. frankly telling
his supporters that he saw little hope
of union whilst the great majority con-
tinued to be led by man who had
been one of the principal lieutenants
of Mr.. Parnell in the past. and one of
the principal rebels against his au-
thority when the day of the breach
dawned Still the party numbered up
ward of 20 to 10, and the 20 scarcely
saw why they should bow to the 10.

Regret Transfer Of
General PIummer
Religious Workers Present Resolutions
Of Appreciation - Chaplain General
Bishop Hayes to Visit
the Camp Soon.
Jesuits Will Conduct Mission In Three
X. of c. Halls During Holy Week
Activities Increasing Now
In Every Department.

Camp Dodge, a., March 1S, 1918.
To the Editor Irish Standards:
Genuine and universal regret marked
the transfer of General Plummer, who
has been relieved of his command at
the Camp. During his brief command
of the 8Sth Division, he won many
friends, proving himself a soldier and
a gentleman of the highest type. The
high mark of efficiency already gained
by the men of the 8Sth rebounds to the
credit of the general and his untiring
efforts.
Everything that promoted the well
fare of the boys received his enthu-
siastic appreciation. In our work un-
der the auspices of the Knights. Gen
eral Plummer manifested the highest
interest. He had come to look upon
it as potent factor in the building
up of the division, and contributing to
the morale of the men. Time and
again he took occasion to show his ap-
preciation, and was always pleased to
give his appreciation to special fea-
lures of the work.
In an interview with him after his
recent trip to France, we were told of
the good being accomplished. He add
ed that in Washington he was glad to
hear our work spoken off, seemingly
taking special pride in the fact. In
all things pertaining to religion Cen
eral Plummer was enthusiastically in
terested, maintaining that the soldier
without religion could not develop the
highest efficiency.
Such valuable support on the part
of the general was recognized in the
following resolutions of appreciation
rendered him before his departure, by
the committee representing the relig-
ious agencies in the camp:
To Major. General T., II. Plum xsJr'. casn.
manding the S8th Division
eve, the religious workers from
Camp Dodge, desire to express our
sincere regret on your retirement from
the command of the Eighty eighth di-
vision, national army. Your great in
terest in the religious, moral and So
cial uplift of the men in your COM
mand and your readiness at all times
to allow us to cooperate with you to-
ward that end, has justly won our graf
itude. In relinquishing command of
the division you will have at least one
satisfaction, that is that largely as a
result of your efforts and inspiration
you are leaving body of men physi-
cally and morally clean cut, servicea-
BILE and enthusiastic for the cause for
which they have been called. The
nation will be grateful for your work
in this division"

.CzECHO-SLOvOkS.
RED GUAR D

VIadivostok Correspondence OF
The Associated Press.)-Three thou
sand Bolshevik Red Guards entrenched
themselves in the fortress here and
defended themselves with furious
fighting when the Czecho-Slovaks took
over the command of the city on June
20. The Red Guards were aided by
fifty Magyars and German prisoners
of war.
The Czecho- Slovaks had surrounded
the fortress and placed machine Suns
on the roof of the British consulate
and on the roof of the railway station
near by. They called upon the Bolshe-
Wiki in the fortress to surrender but
the Red Guards shot down their mes
sengers. Immediately the machine
guns opened fire and for two hours
stream of bullets rained on the fort
ress. So fast and furious was the fir
ing that the men in the fortress were
unable to return the fire from the
windows. Suddenly there was a tre-
mendous explosion. n Czech had
crawled near the fortress under the
fire barrage and thrown a mine in to
the building. A white flag appeared
at one Of the windows, a party OF
Czechs rushed to the main entrance
of the fortress burst open by a hand
grenade. Inc BOlSneVlRl threw GOWN
their arms and surrendered.
In this conflict the Czceho-Slovaks
lost four men with fifteen wounded,
while their opponents had 149 killed
and wounded. Thus, in >the course OF
few hours, the all-powerful Soviet
had been overthrown and it's delegates
arrested, it's military staff overpower-
ed by force of arms and its army of
Red Guards had either surrendered or
thrown away their arms and dispersed
without fighting.
When the local Bolshevili had de-
cided to disarm them on June 80. the
Czecho- Slovaks forced all this action
by presenting an ultimatum to the
Soviet demanding the disarmament of
the Red Guards on the ground that n
was necessary TO safe the transport
of the Czecho-Soviet forces from Rus
STA.
! When the Soviets refused to comply
with the ultimatum orders were given
to arrest these delegates and all of the
| prominent Bolsheviki War flags were
| hoisted on foreign warships in the
| harbor. Four Soviet torpedo boats at
