 He had on several occasions previous
 ly tried to enlist in the army and in
 fact had tried to enter nearly every
 branch of the service, but was re-

 by far too short Now that he has
 been accepted as one of Uncle Sam's
 fighting men. he intends to mako the
 best of it. Before the program, the draftecs were given d supper in the Grange, and according to some of the men, it was a spread they will never

MORE HUN-vATICAN INTRIGUE!
New York Herald Becoming "Bigot"

Madrid and was closeted with him an hour which
elected much local comment and curiosity at the
time; and that Senor Maura then visited Lisbon,
presumably to help induce that country to re-
sumo diplomatic relations with the vatican, which
had been discontinued since Portugal became
republic. As result probably, Of this visit,
Portuguese ambassador was dispatched to the
papal court at Rome.
This resumption Of diplomatic relations be-
tween lisbon and the Pope, probably at the in
stance of Spanish papists on suggestions from
Germany, becomes peculiarly significant when it
is remembered that Portugal is one OF the na-
tions at war with Germany
Is it the deliberate purpose Of the pope and
the kaisers to have pro-German papal nuncio
at the court Of every nation at war with the Teu-
tonic and Turkish autocrsts? Such arrange
ment would be to the mutual advantage Of the
four autocratS. A nuncio secretly favorable to
autocracy at each Of the democratic capitals could
do much to crafty the supreme ambition of the
pope to sit in the peace conference when the war
closes Moreover, such functonary could Sc
cretly arouse the Roman Catholic hierarchy in
those countries and so influence the governments
in favor of compromise peace that would save
the face of the autocrats.
As the probability Of this yelled policy be-
comes apparent, new interest and significance
attaches to the vigorous efforts of the pope to es
tablish diplomatic intercourse with China and
Japan, both of which are at war against the
kaisers This effort has been much exploited in
the papal press Of this country during the past
several months. That press has been predicting
that the United States France and Japan will
presently welcome papal nuncios to their capt.
ais. They do not predict it Of Italy, because
they know that chivalrous country is too well
acquainted with popery.
An important link in this chain of intrigue
appears in the fact stated in The MENACE Au-
gust 81 that Joseph Petrell, whom the pope se-
lected for the Chinese nuncisture, is so palpably
and outrageously pro-German and his selection
was 90 manifestly at the instance Of Won Hinze,
German foreign secretary, that France inter-
posed undor her treaty right with China and
caused his rejection on that ground by the
Chinese government.
So Is one after another Of tho long roots Of
the papal cancer being located In the body polite
Of tho world Had the vatican known how much
Of papal guilt and wickedness would be dragged
to light by this monstrous war, the pope would
have prevented the war by forbidding, instead Of
encouraging, the purpose Of the kaisers 10 sub
jugate and Romanlzs BY foroe the ohivAlrous but
helpless, serbians, The local uutocracy Of

xvi HAT ails the Roman press censor in New
IWsl York? For some months The New York
SEIl Times has been fearlessly telling the
LI truth both in its own columns and in the
excellent monthly magazine, Current History,
which it publishes. Recently, The Sun has been
giving offense by telling things that Rome did
not intend the public to know. More than one
Brooklyn paper turned the light on the Coney
Island money-raising week Of the Knights Of
Columbus to the CONSERVATION of leading
Knights who were diverting at least three-fourths
of the money collected to unexplained and mys-
terious channels
But now comes the ultraconservative and
dignifed New York Herald with series Of eight
lengthy news communications from its staff cor
respondent in Madrid on pro-German activities
in Spain. These communications appeared in
The Herald during the last week in August, and
their disclosures fit into other facts Of current
vatican politics in way that is extremely sig
nifcant.
The third article Of the series appeared Au-
gust 26 under this appropriate headline: Ger
mans Try to Use Spanish Catholics in Their NeD
Peace Offensive Against Entente" The opening
paragraph Of this important message gives q
fairly clear insight into its scope and contents
That paragraph reads as follows
Spain is and has been for many months, a hot
bed for the propagation and dissemination Of the
most blatant and ridiculous enemy propaganda. As
the most important Of the Catholic countries not
yet aligned with either Of the world beigerents,
it has been also focal point for the concentration

message, which explains itself, was sont from

to smash the Guardians Of Liberty

the espionage law into a rubber
blanket to cover all things Rome

wants it done but she also wants to

church for our federal constitution
and so far as real good Catholics are
concerned the canon law is supreme

future, for she figures the rest
would be scared out or jailed.

putting its candidates on the Demo
cratic ticket in one state, much to
the disappointment of Rome and
machine democrats, and the Guar
dians surely have a right to en-
dorse such candidates as they
choose and to urge the defeat Of
every papist on any ticket.
The fact is that the Non-Parti-
san League is as much q propa-
ganda organization as the Guar
dians Of Liberty. If one kind Of
propaganda is to be excluded from
furthering its aims by supporting
candidates whose record shows them
favorable to it, why not another? ?
Kill them all or kill none!
Furthermore, every well informed
citizen knows that Rome has tried
every artifce at her command to
stretch the espionage law SO as to
kill the Non-Partisan League in
Minnesota and she completely
failed. In her fight on the Non
Partisan League she has the aid Of
capitalism and in her fight on anti
papal organizations such as the
Guardians there is no doubt that
she receives whole-hearted support
from the liquor interests. If Rome

KNIGHT OF COLUMBUS
OUT FOR CONGRESS
Third Maryland District Should
Defeat This Blatant Papist
At General Election

In rallying all Roman Catholics
to support Charles P. Coady for re.
election to congress from the third
Maryland district, The Baltimore
Catholic Rierew, diocesan organ OF
Cardinal Gibbons, closes an ex-
tended editorial in these words:
There is hardly any need to say
that every Catholic in Maryland
should feel pleased with Mr.. Coady's
nomination, since he has always
proven himself to be a Catholic in
thought and action. His life has re.
fiected credit on Mother church, and
in him she has one who has learned
the lessons that she teaches to all,
and learning these lessons, uses them
in everyday life. Every Catholic
man should be pleased at the success
of this member Of congress. We con-
gratulate Mr.. Coady and express to
him the best wishes that we know Of,
and hope that his service in public
life will continue for many years to
come. We hope that his present po-
sition will be but the stepping stone
to better things, where his talents
and abilities will be more and more
at the service of the people of this
nation.
Mr.. Coady has indeed learned the
lessons of the Roman church and
put them into practice. He has be.
come q member of the Knights Of
Z Columbus, that criminal organiza'
ton Of terrorists that went tc
the hotel in Marshall, Texas, and
murdered William Black, a Chris
tian minister, because he had de-
livered a lecture in that city; thai
dragged from his hotel by violence

Baptist minister, threw him into ar
automobile, bound and gagged him
beat him into insensibility ant
foully threw his body, supposed tt
be dead, into a jungle and drove
away; that rushed down the aisle
of hall in Buffalo where DR.. Bar

speaking, and, with flourish o
deadly weapons, yelled that Prot

ter, in Illinois; and that have mad

ROME THINKS She WON
IN BALTIMORE, MD.
Gibbons, Who is Afraid to Debate,
Makes CowardIy Attacks Through
The Romanized DaiIies

No one doubts that the real seat
Of the Roman Catholic system Of
government which is trying to sub
vert American principles is to be
found in Baltimore, Maryland, the
home of Cardinal Gibbons. And
right there the Free Press Defense
Leagues local organization recent
ly staged a series Of political
events that, ON the whole, are very
satisfactory.
Rome is jubilant over the fact
that J. Frank Fox, the Leagues
congressional candidate for the Re.
publican nomination from the
fourth district, was beaten by 264
votes. And this in q three cor
nered race in a city where the in
fluence Of the daily press is all for
Rome. Rome is jubilant because
it is known that the Democratic
nominee is her friend. Knick1nan.
the winner over Fox, was cham
pioned by the Rum and Roman
vote. But the finish race has not
come off and the Leagues total
voting strength in a finish race viii
probably elect a third candidate
running on an Independent ticket.
Such things have been done and
the Baltimore situation is favorable
for every vote going to the inds-
pendent candidate would be vote
taken away from one or the other
Of the old party men.
The real election dope from
Baltimore, as we get it, is that IN
the fourth district q hard fight had
to be made. In other districts the
issue was already settled, either
past remedy so far as the elimina-
ton Of papists was concerned or in
such shape that q scrap was not
necessary.
| On Friday preceding the pri-
maries the League held a rally in
Odd Fellows hall and there it was
that it became known that
since Schuch, the candidate for
nomination in the third dis
trict, would withdraw in IA
vor of Jording, the leading can
didate, the only place left in
which q fight would be Of any uss
was in the fourth. And here the
election Of Fox was strongly urged.
At this rally George Waldron do
livered one Of his uncompromising
anti-papal speeches and told some
historical facts such as Rome likes
to keep well hidden.
The daily papers took special de-
. light in showing animosity for his
} speech and while not denying that
papists assassinated Lincoln, poked
fun at the idea instead of boldly

as has that same aggregation. A
new case has come to light involv-
ing an attempt to spring a dirty
frame-up on the Guardians Of lib

dodge takes the blue ribbon.
