THE PTTTSFELD ISSUE

Attempts to select a superin-

On its surface the question agitat.

they want is to have the new Ger
man state made Roman Catholic.
Moreover these papists operating
in Germany are miffed because
there is no provision for religious
instruction in the schools. Papal
agents are equally dissatisfied be-
cause religion is not taught In this

would they be pleased il the Prot

want is to have garbed nuns teach
popery in the public schools Of
America, Germany and every other

The archbishop mentioned talks
like a Sim Feiner when he advises
those who may heed him to not
take "ungodly oaths" prescribed
by their government. The Centrist

political party Of Germany, Is play

Its agents are concerned, is a mere
