fanatic has asked that they should be

TO INTERN ARCHBISHOP MANNI,
(From the London Catholic Times

Apparently Mr. Hughes and the
Australian conscriptionists, who fol-
low his leadership, do not like to &C.
knowledge defeat. Last week it was
stated that during the heat of the con-
test appeals had been made to Mr..
Hughes, the Federal Prime Minister,
to intern his chief opponent, Arch
bishop Mannix, of Melbourne, and
that the abortive prosecution of the
Premier, Mr.. T. j. Ryan, who has re-
sented his attempt to play the role of
a dictator and triumphed over his hos
tility, might be taken as sign that he
would have liked to silence the Arch
bishop in the way suggested if he
thought he could safely venture to do
so.
1t now appears that Mr.. Hughes
and his supporters have made fresh
move. Sim Fein colors were worn at
a st. Patrick's Day procession in Mel
bourne in which Archbishop Mannix
and the Apostolic Delegate took part
A meeting of three thousand persons,
held in the Melbourne Town Hall,
have, according to a message from
that city, protested against the dis
play of these emblems. They waited
on Mr.. Hughes and urged the prosecu-
ton of Archbishop Mannix for sedi-
tious utterances, and Mr.. Hughes, the

WAR MEETING.
War Conference at West
Liberty Big Success.

held here Thursday of last week,
under the auspices of the Morgan
County Council Of National De-
fense, was a decided success.
The crowd was not quite as large
as was expected on account of
the pressure Of farm work, but
what it lacked in numbers was
made up in enthusiasm and pa
triotic fervor. The sessions were
held in the Christian church,
which was filled to its capacity,
and many were compelled to
stand throughout the services.
Professors H. H. Cherry, of
Bowling Green, and George COL
win, of Springfield; Lieut.. Mac
Arthur, of the U. S. Army, and
j. M. Feltner, Of London, were
the speakers. Mrs. Chas. P.
Weaver, of Louisville, represent
ative Of the Kentucky Children's
Home Society, was also present
doing special war wsrk among
the women of the county.
1t is not within our province to
say which of the speakers brought
the most effective message to our
people. Suffice it to say that only
superlatives should be used in
describing the work of each. It
would be difficult to find four
men more earnest or more thor
oughly imbued with the true
spirit of patriotism. Morgan
county people have been a little
bit slow to grasp the full mean
ing of the terrible conflict in
which the world is engaged, and
to realize the seriousness Of the
situation. The speakers, and es-
pecially Lieut.. Macarthur, did
not attempt to minimize the
gravity and Importance of the
werk which the people Of the
United States have undertaken
to perform. In fact, Lieut.. Mac
Arthur painted rather gloomy
picture, the object of which was
to arouse the people of this coun-
try to a full sense of the Stupen-
dousness of the job of making
the country safe for democracy.
Never were speakers listened
to with more rapt attention. The
people just hung on their words
so eager were they to hear the
facts concerning the situation.
Morgan county-not even West
Liberty-is not 100 per cent pa
triotic, we are sorry to say.
There are a few slackers-a few
people whose patriotism is of the
DOLLARS and CENTS variety
but they are in small, pitiful,
lonesome minority. The crowd
that attended and took part in
the meeting here last week was
a splendid example and an inspi-
ration. Although the meeting
was in no sense called or held for
that purpose the members of the
local Red Cross chapter secured
pledges and cash subscriptions
amounting to more than five
hundred dollars on that day.
Mr.. L. Y. Redwine presided
and acted as master of ceremon-
les at all Of the sessions and sew
oral local people took part. A
special choir rendered inspiring
music and the program was car
ried cut without a hitch or falter.
The visiting speakers were unan-
imous in expressing their deep
appreciation of the courtesy
shown them while in Morgan
county.
