Powers and the United States to the
rule that neutral governments shall
not be admitted to the peace confer
ence in the interests of Persia. it was
learned to-day. Great Britain. the

fed their Willingness that Persia be
represented at the conference with
power to take part in the deliberations

concerned.
Persia expects the peace conference
to rectify the historical wrongs com
mitted against her by Russia and to
have the Caspian Sea, which through
Russian aggressions had been con
verified into a Russian lake, lberatcd
from foreign domination.
The Persian government also be
lieves, according to information OBJ

affairs created as result of the war
including the prostration Of Russia
and OF Turkey, will aid that nation in
its development.

Defence Society to
Continue Its War
Upon Bolshevism
''Propaganda Battle Only
Begun Is Warming TO
Americans in Annual Re-
port of the Organization

"Thc work of this society has only
begun" says the American Defence So
ciety in it's annual report, made public
yesterday. "Thc most vigilant action
must be taken by every one to guard
against the spirit Of Boshevism as eX-
hibtcd in the recent red flag outbreaks
The society considers it the duty of t. :
people Of the United States to guard
against the spreading of this pernicious
doctrine and to bring to light those OPP
poncnts of good government who arc
working to spread it.
"Thc American Defence Society has
planned for itself programme large
enough to engage the attention and en-
list the support of every patriotic
American citizen
Briefly, the permanent program as
announced by the society involves:
Rigid suppression Of German propa-
ganda; non-teaching Ct German in
teaching Of French, Italian and Span
ish; government cooperation with bust
ness; protection Of American labor
against cheap foreign labor and goods );
protection OF labor against low class
imm igratloN: constant inculcation Of
American ideals: raising of the qlal
hcation for naturalization; repression
OF the preaching of foreign ideals;
eign. settlements in the United States;
maintenance Of our merchant marine;
universal military training for youths ;;
raising OF the standard OF citizenship
through the ideal Of service strict &C
countability of all public servants :
sound money and conservative bank
ideals and the adoption of the budget
system; maintenance of constltutlonal
government and encouragement OF
trade relations with friendly nations.
The report calls attention to the
campaign against enemy insurance
companies, the formation OF 800 vlgl-
lance corps throughout the country, Its
support of Senator Chamberlain in his
efforts to speed up the war, its sue
cessful campaign against the soap
boxers of the Friends OF Irish Free
dom, who we're campaig nng against
Americas ally IN the war and its work
for a boycott on German goods.
On the latter work, the report states
that hundreds Of thousands of sigma
lures have been obtained to a pledge
'never' to buy any goods made in Ger
many"
An active campaign is being waged
by the society on this subject, which,
the report states, is increasing in its
scope day by day, as more patriotic So
cieties, civic organizations and priva,e
individuals sign the pledge of the So
ciety, which conforms to that Of the
seven year period adopted by the Brit
ish Seamen's Union, Of which Have
lock Wilson is the head. Through the
cooperation Of this union, Captain Ed
ward Topper, its national organizer
has been sent to this country to help
the society in its work.

steel rails in the ship holds. The
spaces between the boilers and the
level of the tops of their steam domes
were packed tightly with hay. On the
floor hay was laid, and on this the ten

ders was placed other cargo. each shin

N-AMERICAN MASS
NOTABLE SIGN OF UNITY

Washington, D. C.-The annual pan
American mass was sung in st. Pat
rick's church Thanksgiving day, in the
presence of one of the most distin
guished congregations ever assembled
in the history of Washington. On &C
count of the unity with which the
South American republics have sup.
ported the United States in the world
war, and on account of the opening up
of larger trade relations between the
United States and South American
countries, the Thanksgiving service
this year, in which the official repre-
sentatives of all the South American
countries Joined with the officials OF
the United States government, was OF
particular significance.
His eminence, Cardinal Gibbons
presided, and after the mass held a
reception for the guests in St. Pat
rick's hall. The mass was celebrated
at 10 o'clock, and the sermon was
preached by the Rev. DR.. William J.

URGES PLACE FOR POPE
Cardinal Says Benedict Should Attend
Peace Meetinu.

Boston. - In the gathering of the
powers about the peace table, Pope
Benedict XIV should surely have a
place, Cardinal O'Connell said in an
address before the League of Catholic
Women at the Academy of Notre
Dame. The cardinal said the pope's
terms of peace "are in reality practi-
cally identical with those which were
proposed, at least tentatively, by the
allies"
Certainly" the cardinal continued.
president Wilson's fourteen articles
show little practical divergence from
those which had already been formu.
lated by Benedict XIV.
Now the powers of the world are
soon to gather to arrange the terms
OF peace. Surely, in that gathering
the pope will have hearing and a
rightful place." .....

The whole matter deserves to be
viewed also from. a wider angle. If
this principle of stopping private &C.
tivities can be applied to education it
can be carried out with regard to all
activities. Then we shall have not
only most unjust State monopoly of
schools, but the full development of
despotic Socialism, Capitalization
and paternalism that will be the grave
of all our highly-prized liberties.
