people Of the parish are proud of the
noble edifice now almost completed.
1t rises far above the fine school
where their children have been
trained for the past seven years, and
which has now become too small to
serve any longer as both church and
school. The new edifice will probably
be opened before the end Of next
month. 1t is recognized by Catholics
and non-Catholics alike as monu-
ment of beauty in the most beautiful
part of Minneapolis. With enthusias.
tic pride and love it is pointed out
from every part of the parish, as it
lifts the Cross like, benediction

ARCHBISHOP OF MILWAUKEE
FORBIDS PROHIBITION
PROPAGANDA IN
CHURCHES.

Milwaukee, June 24.-Archbishol
S. G.. Messmer has sent a pastoral
letter to all clergymen of his diocese
in which he forbids them assisting
prohibition propaganda. The letter
in part, follows:
ut becomes more evident from day
to day that there is strong sectarian
power back of the present prohibition
movement. We may not deny that
many Catholics, priests among them
are actuated by good motives and act
ing in good faith in this matter. But
they fail to see the absolutely false
principle underlying the movement and
the sinister work of the enemies OF
the Catholic Church, trying to profit
by this opportunity of attacking her in
the most sacred mission 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, be it the church, the
school or a hall.
"On the other hand, this is most
opportune time to preach on the Ca
tholic virtue of temperance, exhort
ing everyone to practice true modera
ton in eating and drinking and even
total abstinence from intoxicating
drinks. ....
Prohibition is in no sense modera
ton; yet this is the true meaning OF
the cardinal virtue of temperance

Catholic Press Association.
London, June 6.-Many interesting
questions and events have occupied
the week. An attempt to revive the
'No Popery" campaign was made in
the house of commons, when Col.
Craig, a noted bigot, asked questions
regarding the visit of the Prince of
Wales to the Pope. The question of
the responsibility for the visit was
greeted with laughter, the govern
ment's reply that it was responsible,
and that the visit was according to
precedent, ELECTED cheers. This is
and indication that if the rumors
which are current are true, and the
Prince of Wales thinks of taking an
Italian bride, the smoothing away of
difficulties in the way of Catholic
queen for England may not be so
great as timid people seem to think,
and a princess: of Rome would be well
come after all to these shores.
Another attempt to stir up the same
bitterness was made in connection
with the decision of the government
to respect the feast of Corpus Christi
as regards the air-attacks on open
towns behind the front. Questions
were asked as to the responsibility for
the decision to comply with the ap-
peal forwarded by the Pope. Ronald
MacNeill demanded If the humane
consent was given because the foreign
Office was "reeking" with Vatican in.

FRESHMEN RIDlcULE

They Derive a Little Amusement by
Taking Slap at "Hero" Now
and Then.

The people in Ireland, in spite of
their trials and tribulations, still de-
rive certain amount of diversion out
OF poking fun at T. P. O'Connor, as
the following letter recently printed in
the Irish Independent will show:
Sir-In the speech at Bailieboro yes
terday Mr.. John Dillon stated: 'If it
were not for the happy circumstances
that we sent T. P. O'Connor to Amer
lea the American public mind would
have been poisoned against Ireland,
and America would have almost been
an enemy of Ireland"
1t was stated in London Sunday
newspaper recently that Mr.. T. P. o.
Conner was sent to America by the
British War Aims Committee as a
British propaganda, two other dis
tinguished gentlemen sent on the
same mission being Sir Frederick
Smith, now English Attorney Cen
eral, who was known as Carson's Gal.
Looping Major during the period when
the leaders of the .Covenanters were
making overtures to Germany, and
Harry Lauder, the Scotch music hall
artist. Lauder represented Scotland,
Smith England and O'Connor Ireland.
We are not allowed. through the or
binary channels of information, the
newspapers, to learn any definite de-
tails of the manner in which Mr.. r..
P. OCOnnor carried out his orders;
but through the closed windows and
shutters CLEAN of light has been per-
mitted to penetrate and it is sufficient
to illuminate the character of the re-
ception given to Mr.. O'Connor by the
Irish race in America.
Since his return from America Gal
lopez Smith has followed the advice Of
the elder Mr.. Weller and published a
book about the "Merrikens." It is
called "My American Visit" and in
one significant passage he describes
his meeting with his fellow-propagand
list, Mr.. O'Connor. He continues:

United States. A section of the Irish
Americans has been most unfriendly
to film. Many of his interviews have
been misrepresented, so that he had to
cease giving them, and he has not
thought it wise to hold public meet
ings of Irishmen."
Thus the fact is quite clear that the
gentleman who, according to Mr.. Dill

Party and who, according to the Eng

of the British War Aims Committee

INCARNATION PARISH DRIVE.

Worship.

$4,000 drive by the Mems Club
of the Incarnation parish of this city
will take place before July is. Such
was the resolution adopted after care
full deliberation by the club at its
meeting, Thursday evening, June 49,
A hundred of the leading business
men of the parish were present, with
a good sprinkling of the younger men
of the district. The splendid finan-
cial condition of the parish at the
completion of it's monumental church
edifice encouraged the men to under
take the work of reducing the debt
without delay
The property of the parish repre-
sents an investment Of about $3.50 900,
with an Indebtedness of $4,000
against it. This amount of work
accomplished in less than nine years
by the parish under the leadership of
Very Reverend ]. M. Cleary, con-
WINGED the men that, with the value
of the property increasing every
month, and with the constantly grow
ing Catholic population of the beauti-
full lake district of Minneapolis, they
can raise $4,000 before the end of the
present year.
1t was pointed out by J. j. Quinn,
president of the club, that the interest
on $4,000 would amount to a sum
each year of between $4,000 and
$1,000 The matter was thoroughly
discussed pro and con. and the longer
these hard headed business men
reflected the more firmly persuaded
they became that the financial re-
sources of the Catholic population
warranted them in gathering in $780,
900 before January 1.
Accordingly the men began organic
ing for the big drive. M. ]. Murphy
was selected as commander-in-chief
with the five district captains and the
officers of the club to assist him in
placing the workers and determining
the date and hours of the drive. The
district captains are as follows: w.
]. Stapleton, in charge of all the terri
tory between Lake street and Thirty
fourth; Harry Hall, from Thirty
fourth street to Thirty-eighth; M. ].
Harmon from Thirty-eighth street to
Forty-second; J. p Coleman from
Forty-second street to Forty-sixth;
and ]. D. Maloney from Forty.sixth
street to the city limits. The officers
Of the club, ]. ]. Quinn, ]. P. Ernster,
Arthur p. Morris and H. J. Riley, are
highly gratified at the unanimous de.
termination of the men to "break
the back" of the debt at once. It
means more work for the officers but
they are enthusiastic at the prospect
of such work. It is evident that the

War Need Call for Big Sheep Increase
Wool Production Now Only SO Per Cent of Peace NeedIn-
crease Especially and Southern States Urged
by Department of Agriculture

Pointing out the serious shortage
of wool at a time when this material
is of such vital Importance in war
operations, the Department of Agri-
culture in its agricultural program
for 1918 urges that an effort be made
to increase the production Of sheep
and wool. Increase in farm flocks is
recommended wherever conditions are
favorable and the first cost of stock
ing is not too high.
The wool produced in this country
furnishes only about so per cent of
the amount used in peace times; the
war demands have emphasized the
seriousness of this domestic shortage.
To equip two million soldiers and
clothe them for one years would re-
quire the entire quantity Of wool
grown annually in this country.
During recent years we have shorn
about 80 million feeces annually, and
the pulled wool taken from sheep and
lambs slaughtered for meat brings
the total clip up to the equivalent of
about 40 million feeces. If all this
wool were suitable for military use, it
would supply only two million men
The production of wool in the United
States has remained practically sta
tionary from 1914 to 1917, while i'm
ports increased AZ per cent, and the
estimated net supply increased only
about 81 per cent.
