laugh and applaud. and does these
two things almost from the time
the curtain goes up until IL goes

least IL thinks it is, which is the
same thing.
At any rate that is what the audi

night. II began 10 applaud with the
first act when Sigsby's trained dogs
came on the stage. and il kept il
up until the curtain went down on

deserve the applause
The comedy sketch called "Her

EPIDEMIC STILL GOING
STRONG IN IRELAND
Country Districts Suffer With Towns
and Cities-Some Slight Improve
ment Noticed by Physicians.

The Irish papers up to November II
continue to publish long lists of deaths
and cases of sickness from influenza
Some provincial towns and rural
districts seem to be suffering severely
from the epidemic, probably more so
thar the cities, where there are better
facilities for coping with the outbreak.
The All-Ireland Hurting Final for
next Sunday between Limerick and
Wexford has been postponed. Several
of the Wexford players are suffering
from the epidemic.
Among recent victims are Miss Eli
leen May Ennis, eldest daughter of the
late Edward A. Ennis, B. L., Assistant
Under.Secretary for Ireland; Mrs.
Dorothy Banbury, whose husband,
Capt. Banbury, was killed in action,
was daughter of Major F. Swainston,

The IRISH PARTY'S
Real LEADERS

The following letter from Mr.. John
SWeetman, distinguished Irishman
speaks for itself:
Sir: At the great Sim Fein meet
ing last night in the Mansion House,
heard Father O'Flanagan, saying OF
John Dillon that he had made nothing
but plumbers since the strong hand
and wise brain of Charles Stewart Par.
nell ceased to direct his movement.
Some may think that since that time
John Dillon trusted to his own judg.
ment. I do not think this is the case.
4think the man who has directed his
| movements is r. P. O'Connor. And
who is he? A member for an Eng
fish constituency who had made, if not
living, through his brains, by starting,
fortune, at any rate a comfortable
conducting and then selling several
popular journals. If he has not made
as large fortune as Lord Northcliffe,
he is, like him and our present Gov.
ernor, Lord French, an Irishman. I'm
fortunately, Irishmen have often sold
their brains to England, but that does
not make them good leaders for Ire
land to follow.
It. P. O'Connor, the real brains-car-
rier of the Irish Parliamentary Party,
whose one object is to keep their G400
| year, has told us what is to be their
aim at the next general election. In
his letter to the Westminster Ca
zette' he says: eve are about to enter
! upon bitter struggle with the Sim
F'ein Party, because they represent
| and we oppose any such policy" The
policy he refers to was the demand for
an Irish Republic. No doubt old fogies
| in Ireland have not seen how the world
is going, and consider it "sinful and
foolish" Not so does. the Pope of
Rome consider it.
For my part prefer to follow the
Pope rather than any Bishop. The
Pope rejoices in the independence of
Poland, and confers a Cardinals hat
on the Archbishop as sign of his ap-
proval. We may hope he will confer a
Cardinals hat on our Archbishop when
/ Ireland is Independent.
Ireland will not be led by T. P.
O'Connor, and the sooner John Dillon
and Sir Thomas Esmonde realize this
the better it will be for their peace of
mind.

precepts are at direct variance with
it, which is in conflict with it at every
point Of moral, spiritual and material
matter, whose supporters exerted
every effort to make a failure of it in
it's overseas mission of mercy, and
who are our most dangerous enemies,
and that flag is the red flag of social
ism or bolshevickism as the more radi-
cal class of the socialists are termed.
1t is the flag which stands for moth
ing but mob rule, violence, chaos and
destruction, the ruination of home and
country, the suppression of all the
noble ideals which are the fruit of
Christianity, the treasures of civiliza-
ton. @'
There is no neutral zone between
those flags for any American; you
support everything that the American
flag stands for or you belong under
the bloody banner of socialism, and
tell you today from the bottom of my
heart that if I understand American
manhood it can not stand for and it
will not stand for anything but I'M
swerving loyalty to the Stars and
Stripes and conscientious devotion to
pure American institutions.
We hold aloft today the cross, the
emblem of Christianity, because by it
the world was redeemed from sin and
the gates of Heaven were reopened
to the human race; and we hold aloft
today the banner of our country, the
emblem of purity, justice, valor and
liberty, because by it the world was
redeemed from autocracy and the field
of human freedom was opened to all
people.
1t is easy for us today then to lift
our hearts to God and thank Him that
we are American citizens; thank Him
for the position which our nation to-
day couples among the nations of the
world; thank Him for the courage,
valor, power and genius which brought
success to our arms and to our allies;
thank Him who is alone the God of
Justice as we'll as the God of Battles
for having placed upon the head of
young and brave America a crown of
everlasting glory.

ARREST OF SINN FEM
ELECTION DIRECTOR
Taken Into Custody Wednesday, Nov.
20, at the Sim Fein Headquarters
in Dublin.

Dublin-Wednesda election SEN
sation in Ireland was the arrest in a
police raid of Robert O'Breman, Sim
Fein Election Director, at 6 Harcourt
St., Dublin, the S. F. headquarters. He
is the third of the Sim Fein election
experts to be arrested in less than 6
months-the former being Sean Mil
roy and Dan Mccarthy, both of whom
have been deported to England. 1t is
stated, however, that at Harcourt st.
the Election Department is carrying
on as usual, Jas. O'Hara taking charge
in Mr.. Brennans absence.
The raid, which was the fourth, with
in months on these premises, took
place at 10 a. M, when 80 D.M.P. men
armed with revolvers, headed by an
inspector, and accompanied by half a
dozen detectives under inspector Love,
drove up to, the premises in military
wagon.

positions at all points of exit, while
the detectives searched the offices.
Mr.. Brennan was in his office and was
arrested by Detectives O'Brien and
Wharton.
The search was then continued, the
detectives attending, it is stated, only
to election literature. About 600
copies of the manifesto were taken
and leaflets dealing with the policy of
abstention. The raid occupied III
hours, during which time a big crowd
assembled in the street and sang the
Soldiers Song" Mr.. Brennan was
provided with cigarettes and matches
when leaving by the staff, and was
loudly cheered by the crowd as he was
driven away in the military van.

CATHOLICS AND RECONSTRUCTION

Bryn Mawr College, Drs. Ryan, O'Hara,
Kerby, and O'Grady of the Catholic
University, DR.. J. Elliot Ross of Aus
tin, Texas, Rev. Henry Siedenberg, s..
j., of Loyola University, Chicago, and
Rev. Edwin V. O'Hara, who will study
reconstruction problems for the COM
mittee in Europe.
There is powerful undercurrent of
radicalism among the working classes
in America at the present time. Cath
olics should be alive to the dangers
of this movement, but they should re-
member that it can be more effective
ly counteracted by sound legislation
than by destructive criticism.
During the next few years many
legislative problems will arise which
directly affect Catholic institutions.
The workmen's compensation move
ment is of immediate interest to Cath
Ollie hospitals, but so far Catholic opin-
ion seems to have had no influence
on this form of legislation. The health
insurance movement, the movement
for state supervision Of Catholic in
stitutions and for health supervision
Of school children vitality affects the
interests of the church. The commit
tee on reconstruction will keep in
close touch with these movements and
will keep Catholics informed in re-
gard to their developments.
The most urgent problem which we
are facing at the present time is the
securing of employment for the re-
turning soldier and the munitions
worker. This is primarily govern
ment function. The United States
employment service will make every
effort to secure work for those who
have been displaced by reason of the
cessation of the war. In this work
the government realizes the impor-
lance of having the cooperation
of private agencies. Last Sunday the
federal directors of employment in
the different states east of the Missis-
sippi met with the representatives of
the Y. M. c. A., the National Catholic
War Council, and the Jewish Welfare

Board in Washington in order to de-
wise a plan of cooperation between
the government and these organiza-
tions. 1t was decided that in each
city in the United States a committee
should be formed representing the
National Catholic War Council, the
Y. NJ. C. A. and the Jewish Welfare
Board for the purpose of handling the
employment problem during the period
of Rehabilitation.
The wounded men are being sent to
reconstruction hospitals where they
receive medical treatment and pre-
liminary instruction in the trades for
which they are fitted. The welfare
work in these hospitals has been
placed under the direct supervision of
the American Red Cross. The Red
Cross, however, is directed to call on
the different organizations which have
been engaged in welfare work in the
camps, in order to supplement it's
work. Under the supervision of the
American Red Cross, the Y. M. G. A.,
the National Catholic War Council,
the knights of Columbus and the
Jewish Welfare Board will provide en-
tertainment for the wounded men and
able-bodied personnel in the recon
struction hospitals.
When the wounded man leaves the
hospital, he is taken over by the Fed
eral Board for Vocational Training
and placed in school or college,
where he may pursue his education at
government expense. Any school, or
college which has made formal appli-
cation to the Federal Board and whose
courses have been approved may quail
| ify for the training of the men for
their positions in life It is the inten.
ton ofathe Government to prepare the
wounded men not only for the trades
but also for the different professions

USE THElMoLY
SACRIFICE TO
FOOL PILGRIMS

R0VOlutlOnlStS IN western MeAlCO
have been profiting considerably in a
financial way by promoting religious
celebrations among people and ap-
propriating the money which is offered
at the shrines by the devout wor-
shippers, according to the statement
of Rev. Eugene Sugranes, Of San An
tonic, Tex It has long been the prac-
tice for the people of the states OF
Sonora, Sinal0a and other states of
Mexico to go to Magdalena, Sonora,
by the thousands in October of each
year to participate in the great feast
in honor of the sacred image of st.
Francis Xavier, the apostle Of the
Indies. The worshipers present their
offerings of money at the shrine Of the
church, and this usually amounts to a
considerable sum in the aggregate. All
Catholic priests were exiled from that
part of Mexico in 1914 and 1915 and
the annual religious festival 4 Magda,.
lena was discontinued. 1t occurred to
the revolutionists that they might re-
establish the celebration and with
profit to themselves. They put the
scheme into successful practice last
year. How it was done is described
by Rev. Sugranes, as follows:
"They had big posters printed an

formation concerning the services In
honor of St. Francis. They told the peo-
pie that the holy sacrifice Of the Mass
would be celebrated. The people, of
course, not being aware of the ruse,
and being eager to hear Mass, which
had not been celebrated for two years,
came to Magdalena, as usual, by the
thousands. Masses indeed had been
announced, but there were no priests
allowed to celebrate them. Thus the
visitors and pilgrims were greatly dis
appointed. Still, in their good faith
and in fulfillment' of their vows and
promises, they left their offerings,
dropping their coins into the boxes,
performed their private devotions and
returned to their homes with heavy
hearts. So the plan of the Mexican
revolutionists proved to be great
financial success. According to re-
ports they collected the fair sum of
$1,000.
1.-THE famous sanctuary was almost
the sole support of the diocese of So
nora. 1t was from the offerings of this
church that the Bishop paid the ex-
penses of the seminary, parochial
schools and asylums.
