With the American Army in
France, Mar. A. The effective
ness of the American artillery was
thrillingly and impressively demon
strated early today in the biggest
cannonading action to date on this
sector. The boche guns were
smothered by the American fire.
Starting at one am, all the Ameri-
can guns massed on this sector OBJ
ened with terrific blast. Upwards
of three thousand shells were hurled
into the German defenses. During
the height of the bombardment
enemy batteries located in a wood
were peppered with gas shells and
high explosives while 7p's poured a
rain OF metal over the trenches and
support lines. 1t was fifteen minutes
after the opening salvo before the
Germans made single reply. It
was thirty-five minutes before the
Germans located some American
batteries.

UNUSUAL STORY IS TOLD
Boy and Man Charged With Kidnap-
ping Him Alleged to Have Been Fast
Friends for Years Showed Unusual
Interest In Child of Another.

Joseph G. Mason, % years of age
and former resident of Kenosha was
arrested at Mansfield, Ohio, on Tues
day evening and he is expected to be
IN court here tomorrow morning to
answer charges of kidnapping Clarence
Holowinske son of Mrs. Lola Hollow.
inske of Collins street. The thirteen
year old boy who is alleged to have
been taken from Kenosha by force
and who is declared to now be in con
fnement against his will was with Ma
son at the time Of the arrest.
The story is one of the most unusual
ever related to the District Attorney
Of Kenosha county.
Mason and the Holowske boy are
alleged to have left Kenosha on the
evening of February Sth and the mo-
ther Of the boy told the District At
torney that Mason had strong in
fuence over the boy for many years.
The Holowinske family formerly
lived at Munusing, Mich, but four
months ago the family moved to Keno
sha. Mrs. HoloWinski was formerly
Miss Lola Morrison of Kenosha. Dur
ing the time the family lived in Michi-
gan, Mason was boarder at their
home and he took a great fancy to
the son Clarence. The two wero con
stantly together and Mason showed a
great interest in the boy He bought
him play things as a baby and as he
grew up the companionship between
the two grew to an attachment which
approached father and son intimacy.
Shortly after the Holowinske family
came to Kenosha Mason followed and
the relations between himself and the
boy were again resumed. Nearly every
night Mason would take the boy to
some picture chow or they would go
out for a walk some where in the
of the Holowinske home.
On Sunday they went for tramp out
into the woods and they were con
stantly together.
Early IN February Mason was or
dered to leave the Holowinske home
and the same day he was to leave he
took the boy out to a picture show.
Neither Of them ever returned and it
was found that they had left the city
together. Tho case was reported to
the police and after considerable
search it was found that Mason and
the boy were in Mansfield, Ohio, and
on orders from Chief O Hare the Mans
field police arrested Mason on Tues
day.
The case is one that has attracted
attention among the peo-
pie who know the Holowinske family.
Police officer Fred Bradley was sent
to Mansfield on Tuesday night to bring
Mason back to Kenosha for trial and
it is expected that he will return to
Kenosha without demanding extradi-
ton papers The complaint for the
arrest of Mason was made by the mo-
Their of the boy.

The patriots of this country arC

ACE for the value they consider it to
be in the great struggle to free
America from papal domination
by defeating papal politicians at
the polls.
This being the most important
work, and the only work that will
really prove effective if we are to
get at the roots of the evil Of
which we complain, why do you not
wake up in your community and
use the paper for the purpose for
which it was founded and for
which it exists today?
In every city and community
where the patriots have gotten to-
gether and furnished us with the
necessary information on political
conditions, where that information
was published and the paper con-
tanning the matter was literally
circulated, papal politicians have
uniformly gone down TO defeat.
Let THE MENACE do the work.
Adopt that as your slogan and
give it a chance. One state is
now figuring on using three hun
dred thousand extra copies of the
paper in the Forthcoming cam
paigns this summer and fall. An
other state is arranging for four
hundred thousand. II they fur
nish the proper matter on the po-
litical situation, and use the num-
ber of papers they contemplate US
ing, the papal political machine
will be wrecked in those states, not
only in this campaign, but in all
campaigns to come.
Get busy and give us the chance
to clean up your community. Let
US rid you Of the papal incubus
and popularize the American flag
in your "hum town." We can do
it If you will give us Just a little
of your time and attention. Write
US about it, addressing your letter
to the managing editor, and do il
far enough in advance of the next
election that we will have time TO

The awful experience Canada has
had with these people, nightmare

PRIESTS ADMINISTER
ANTI-DRAFT PLEDGE

LONDON, April % (By A. P.)
The military authorities have
taken over control of the principal
Irish railways and the post Offices
and telephone exchanges, accord
ing to the correspondent at Cork
of the Daily Chronicle. 1t is
added that the police on Saturday
removed all arms and ammunition
from gunsmith shops in Dublin,
where it was reported that similar
action will be taken throughout
Ireland.
Throughout Ireland yesterday
the covenant to resist the imposi-
ton Of conscription by all possible
means was administered by priests
and subscribed TO in a quiet, un-
effusive manner by hundreds of
thousands of people. From every
Catholic pulpit conscription was
the subject Of discourse and the
action of the bishops and political
leaders was explained.
PLEDGES BY ASSEMBLIES
The assemblies where the pledge
was taken were generally outside
the churches, sometimes in the
open air, sometimes in a hall. The
practice followed in many cases
was for the priest to read the
pledge, sentence by sentence, the
people reciting after him. In other
cases the pledge was given by
the rising of hundreds or the
signing of a paper.
The bishops took part with the
inferior clergy in administering the
pledge, addressing the people and
generally warning them against
isolated and unconsidered action.
They urged obedience to the Or
ders of the recognized leaders who
act in cooperation.-St. Louis

eyes to facts and search for the
source that is feeding the biggest
aggregation Of supporters of traitor
inspired propaganda on the globe.
What Ireland's fate will be is be-
yond the keen of any man. That
revolution is almost certain cannot
be doubted. That American soldiers
who might have been used as rein
forcements may now be forced to
fill the gaps that might otherwise
have been full to overhowing with
British reserves seems eminent. At
any rate the situation cannot be any
better for England than it has been
in every part of the kingdom where
Roman Catholics exert themselves.
The same contrast between Roman
Catholics and other citizens is found
in every instance. While the
Orangemen of Ulster have urged
colscription and supported the war,
papal Irish have fought conscrip-
tion and opposed the war. While
the Protestants of Australia favored
conscription and upheld the war Ro-
man Catholics have fought conscrip-
tion and adopted the Sim Fein at
titude until finally on st. Patrick's
Day the Australian government was
forced to recognize and suppress, as
seditious, papal fiasco in the ma
ture of a st. Patrick's demonstra-
tiOn headed by Archbishop Mannix
and the papal delegate. And so it
has been in Canada. The Protestant
portion of the population has fa-
vored the war and was strong enough
to obtain conScription, but there the
fight that was led by the cardinal
archbishop of Quebec has been 60
ing on ever since. Repeatedly, riots
have marked the course of anti-con-
scription papists since the govern
ment attempted its enforcement, and
Roman Catholic Quebec has brought
a disgrace upon itself almost equal
to the adherence with which really
democratic peoples regard German
atrocities.
If the allies had no better sup.
porters in this war than the Roman
Catholic subjects of England the
