ARCHBISHOP FoRB|DS
ASSISTING IN ANY
PROHIBITION MOVEMENT

Milwa' kee, Wis, June AIN a letter
sent to all pastors in the Milwaukee
Roman Catholic archdiocese, Archbish-
op Messmer forbds priests under his
Jurisdiction assisting in prohibition
movements and denies to prohibition
lists use of church property for holding
meetings. The letter follows in part:
1T becomes more evident from dav
to day that there is a strong sectarian
power back of the present prob bition
movement. We may not deny that
many Catholics, priests among them
are actuated by good motives and
acting in good faith in this matter,
but they fail to see the absolutely
false principle underlying the move
ment and sinister WORK of the cne-
mics of the Catholic church irving to
profit by this opportunity of attack
ing her in the most sacred mystery
entrusted to her.
For these reasons I hereby posi-
lively forbid all pastors Of parishes
in this archdiocese from allowing any
prohibition speeches to be given on
any premises, he it the church. the
school or a hall.
On the other hand this is a most
opportune time to preach the Cath.
olic virtue OF temperance. exorting
everyone to practice true moderation
in eating and drinking and even total
abstenance from Intoxicating drinks.
Prohibition is in no sense modera-
ton. yet this is the true meaning OF
the cardinal virtue of temperance"

Meanwhile official reports Sho" the
growing seriousness of the food riot
ing in Austria. The people apparent
" are in no condition to stand
great military reverse such as that
they must now face. Immediately
German action to support her ally
seems absolutely necessary. IN the
view of officials here, unless the back
door to Berlin itself is to be left I'M
guarded.
There have been many signs re-
Gently that Gen. Foch was rapidly
getting into shape a strong reserve
force The employment of the
American and Italian divisions has
served to release French shock troops
for rest and rehabilitation.
There are indications, also, that the
effect of British manpower legislation
is beginning to be felt at the front.
The divisions which suffered severely
in the German assaults, apparently
have been out of the line for some
time. The recent successful resist
ance of the Italians to Germans was
in positions formerly held by these
British units. Where Gen. Foch is
prepared to take advantage of the di-
version caused by the Austrian dis
aster cannot be stated. Some OBJ
servers here, including italian offic-
ials believe that the situation on the
Italian front is SO grave for the Ger
mans that they will be compelled to
transfer their main operations to
that theatre, leaving only defensive
forces in the West.
The accelerated movement of
American troops to France is going
ahead without confusion. There is
certainly in the minds Of high officials
that million men will have been
shipped before July /.
