ROME KIDNAPPING An ARMY
POLES Want TO ENLIST UNDER old GLORY BUT ROES PRIESTS have OTHER PLANS

ish-Americans who want their coun-
trymen to enlist In the United States
army was revealed in recently pub
lished account of secret meeting of
250 priests in Chicago, from which
alliance members, who had been in
vited to the meeting to hear Pader-
ewski, were barred. The account Is
from Amsryka-Echo Of Feb. IT:
'In Chicago, ILL.,, on the 9th and
7th of February was held the third
annual convention Of the Polish
clergymen union in America. From
the view point of a chronicler we note
that meetings of the convention were
held in the st. StanislauG hall, that
the Bishop Rhode wGs chairman,

gates tVere given by t,Co specially
invited guests, Archbishop Mande-
lein and Mr.. PaderetOski.
"The sessions Of the convention
were secret. so far as the wider cir
Gle of the public was concerned. The
representatives Of the press and or
ganizations. and generally all laymer
were excluded from the session hall
A rather cotnical Joke resulted there,
from. For the address Of Mr.. Pader-
ewsld the chair at first invited repre-.
sentatives of the organization and o1
the 'citizenry.' At the last moment
however, our famous musician de.
clared that he wished to speak ex
clusively for the clergymen. AS a re-
suit, the official invitations were re-
called and the organization spokes
men accepted this without grumblins
and demonstratiye opposition, will

"Uniformly," declared Mr.. Grygla,
"the priests instruct the voters to cote
the democratic ticket in return for
the privilege granted to organize this
army. Quite recently, in Baltimore,
at a meeting of Poles called to stir
up enthusiasm for the army, the
enterprise Went further-they 1cere
required to join a democratic club

privilege. / personally know this to
be true"
Inquiry recently made at the war
department concerning the authorize
ton of the army brought forth the
following response:
"In response to your inquiry as to
the facts Of this situation, / beg to

expressed its passive approval of this

gla says the priests hand out to
papal voters. That Bishop Rhode
sat as chairman of this ultra-secret
meeting has a significance, Con-
nected with the st. Leopold Foun-
dation as he is, it suggests the
hand of the Jesuit and suggests the
possibility that the Jesuits are be-
hind the scenes directing the
project,
We have seen the hand Of Pader-
ewski as it is being exerted in COM

the papal portion OF the movement

POTENT AS ARMIES.

President Wilson's note-writing
penchant and practice have been
sneered at by a certain class of
pseudo-statesmen, a class Of which
ex-President Roosevelt is the great
high priest; but note we'll, beloved,
that the Presidents notes were as
powerful factor in winning the war
as were the armed forces the United
States sent abroad. They saved thou
sands of lives and prevented pro-
lOnged nightmare of bloodshed and
destruction that would have followed
if the German people had solidly
supported their armies at the front,
armies still powerful when the arm
istice was signed and capable of put
ting up strong resistance if they had
been supported at home. But the
Presidents "notes" were potent in
causing governments to crumble be-
hind the fighting fronts of the Ger
man armies, and the leaven of his
notes working behind the German
lines helped to win the war many
months ahead of the time any one
dreamed it could be won six months
ago-ahead of the time it could have

tary masters that had ruled them so
long.
C-l. pooe ,vo't ;, twin brother to the
Kaiser in putting sole trust in the
shining sword" and scorning the
gentler means used by the President
in connection with force without
stint or limit"-the sane voices that
were thrice blessed in that they saved
lives and untold misery and caused
oppressed peoples to catch CLEAN of
the real purpose of the giant nation Of
the West that they had been taught
to believe meant only their destruc-
ton. =
Col. Roosevelt believes, as believed
the intolerant religious fanatics of
old, that the way to reform a man or
a nation is to destroy, root and branch.
President Wilson's more; enlightened
way is to perform surgical opera
ton, to cut out the hideous thing that
makes nation Of people run amuck:
Verify, President Wilson's notes,
classics of their kind, have taught the
world the difference between philoso-
piers and statesmen true and pseudo.

No Immediate Steps for Demtobilz.

Secretary Daniels announced. Mon.
day that no immediate steps would be
taken toward demobilizing any part
Of the naval forces Of the United

1t was limited at the Navy Depart

sufferer from the war Of all the great
powers, might be called upon to do
the greatest share Of navy police
work for enforcement of armistice

1t is safe to say that when news
of the glorious ending of the war
came you did not act like you had
told yourself over and over again you
would Get. You thought the moment
would bring some dynamic power
that would transform you for the
noncee and make you do thus and SO;
and 10, when it came, you took it
quietly at first, maybe, and then,
hours later, quite UNEXPECTEDLY perhaps
you felt the surge within you that
made you know you had a genuine
case OF gladness and deep thankful
ness. When the big things come one
almost always says things and does
things that were not on the program
at all; or one quite as unaccountably
says and does nothing.

termined and limited and fixed for
the Negro by the white man. But
this over aweing process, like Ku-
kluxism must die of poisonous germs
of its own breeding. If the purpose
of the varied public exhibition of
malicious might over right be to
check the Negro in his development
and growth as a world citizen it
must fail. The Negro with patient
endurance is helping to fight the
battles of democracy. But he is
thinking, thinking deeply Of the out
RACES heaped upon him by some of
his neighbors at home and as such
treated in silence by the government
he is so faithfully and willingly serv-
ing. If the lynchers think that their
conduct will overawe the race into
serfdom they are mistaken Their
burnings and tortures are simply
wounds, simply winds that will come
back to the nation in whirlwinds.
Like Banquo's Ghost, the Negro will
not down but is steadily forming a
factor that must sooner or later be
reckoned with upon manly baose.

WORLD WAR.

This is a world war, the world
must finance it and the world must
fight it, and whatever may be the
final issue, the world must reap it;
whether it be world democracy or
world autocracy. 1t is up to Ameri-
ca, England, France, Italy and a
few lesser nations to say whether
the final issue shall be Demo-: :
and it is up to Germany arG the
Central powers to say whether it
shall be autocracy. Neither of these
contending forces are going to yield
easily. They each have too much at
stake. If the United States and her
allies fail they do not only lose the
principle Of democracy, but they
suffer the greatest humiliation that
has ever been suffered by an aygre-
CATION of great nations since the or
SANITATION OF civil government. II
Germany and her allied powers fail
they do not only lose the principle OF
autocracy, but they bend in humilia-
ton the proudest knee known tt
civilization. For the German auto
crat led on by the lordliest of all t''t
worlds self-centered egotist, backed
up and supported by a military or
ganization the most complete possibly
in the world, will give up much

THE WAR AND THE THEATRE.

Mr.. OBrien in the Terre Haute
Tribune of recent date, remarks on
the loyalty of the theatre, and refer
red to Mr.. Vernon Castles as one of
the long list of names distinguish
ed for patriotic service. The stage
has played a great part in the war.
More than 1000 men from the Amer
lean stage are now in army camps
in this country, and the contributions
OF the British and French theatres
have been even greater in three and
one-half years of war. | might be
pointed out, in this connection, that
Captain Castle-Blythe was once a
chorus man-and chorus men, so far
as popular estimate is concerned,
have never enjoyed over much con-
sideration.
He was English, in course. and the
English stage, like the French, has
been-shall we say reputa ble-much
longer than has the American. His
sacrifice, like that of hundreds more,
is in keeping with the traditions of
his trade. 1t can hardly be Ques-
toned, indeed that no business in
the United States has behaved more
generously than has the show bust
ness, 1t has been taxed heavily. of
course, and has suffered the inconven-
fences and the actual loss entailed
by heatless and lightless days, but
these are minor matters. Its larger
contributions have been along the
lines of war relief-beneft perform
ances without number, and without
pay, in hundreds of playhOuses, free
shows in many army camps, the or
ganization, gratis, of an adequate
amusement system for the regular
guard and national armies-and
actor folk have given freely of theiI
time, even as house managers have
offered their stages for use by those
who appealed for the Red Cross, fol
tobacco and athletic equipment, who
would sell Liberty Bonds or Smile
age books.
The shortcomings of the American
theatre in things artistic, or moral i
you please, are many and easily re
counted. Its patriotism, surely seems
pretty much beyond reproach.
