BISHOP SAYS
CATHOLIC PRESS
POWER FOR GOOD

Rt. Rev. Philip j. Garrigan, D. d.,
Bishop of Sioux City, who was the
first Vice-Rector of the Catholic Uni
versity, Washington. D. c., is an ar
dent advocate of the Catholic Press.
In response to the memorial on a
Catholic Press Sunday" sent out by
The Catholic Press Association to the
Hierarchy of the United States and
Canada, Bishop Garrigan sent the fol-
lowing appreciative letter:
Your letter at hand; and am very
glad to comply with your request for
an expression of my goodwill towards
the establishment of a Catholic Press
Sunday. l realize the tremendous
power for good the Catholic Press is T;
and have always urged my people
to have at least one Catholic paper
coming to their homes each week.
Were it not for the able pens of
our Catholic newspaper men, the
church would find it difficult at times
to combat the attacks made against
her; and am most heartily in favor
Tof any movement, which will increase
the efficiency of the mediums, through
which they find expression.
.sWfshing you every success in your
slabors for the good of the church,
remain.
Very truly yours in Christ,
"P. ]. GARRIGAN,
Bishop of Sioux City"

Seek Service Men
Who Lost Baggage

A general invitation was extended
yesterday by the knights of Columbus
to all former service men and officers
of the A. E. F., to claim any barrack
bags, trunks bedding rolls, suit cases
and other nondescript pieces which
they may have "lost" during the great
Homecoming of the 100000 Yanks
from France. Uncle Sam is at present
the custodian of something like half
million pieces of unclaimed personal
baggage containing ''beaucoup" SOU
venirs- German army sabres,
/ cartridge belts, shells, love letters, pic
lures of the home folks and France
and thousands of other mysterious
gifts and souvenirs.
What the government is now trying
| to accomplish is the safe delivery to
each and every man his "lost" bag
gage which, in very many cases, con-
tains some priced souvenir of the war.
Most of the baggage has been care
fully sorted out under the direction
! of Colonel r. r. Pickering and staff
of army men. The Knights are CO.
operating. with Col. Pickering and hope
to land some several hundred thou
sand pieces of luggage to their proper
owners within the next month There
are several pyramids now located on
the Hoboken piers of the government
and elsewhere.
| In order to get the "lost" barrack
bag or trunk the owners must COM
ply with the following directions:
"Send all the markings and writing on
the baggage the name of the Regi-
ment to which attached, and the last
place where baggage was seen either
in this country or France. Enclose the
blue stub detached from the declar-
alton papers and write to the Knights
of Columbus, Lost Baggage Depart
ment, No. 461 Fourth avenue, New
York City,"
The Knights announce that if every
soldier and officer complies with the
above directions, from somewhere in
J the great mass of baggage, the ''lost"
piece will be forwarded promptly no
matter where the owner may reside.

past. Give thought to prudent DELHI
Grafton, comrades, and let us hang a
darkened past and crown ourselves
with international glory" What mag
nanimity! How easy to clear all of
wrong when the owner of half the
world so purely and simply paints the
picture of justice and rights. "The
world must never again be the same,
it must be better than it was. Lands
are free from the iron fist since the
banner of militarism was swept into
oblivion upon the fields of glorious
France. Ours is a sweeping task, the
freedom of all heretofore suppressed
and oppressed nations. To the wild
erness with unrighteous decisions. To
liberty are we here to dedicate our
selves. We must fulfill vows made to
a weeping world" cries the British
Lion. All! that is the gospel of hope,
of peace! 1t is the glorious message
for which the world has sighed. Sa-
cred are those words, they cure de-
spairing hearts, they emphatically an
nounce liberation from foreign, bur-
densome yoke, assure the most pessi-
mfstic of. future peace. The old his
toric walls of Versailles murmur with
delight as they witness such arousing
scenes. Once they had witnessed the
schemes of mischievous minds, once
they had sorrowed as the voices of
conquerors proclaimed new empire.
Then they wept in despair and sor-
row, now they bear the flush of exal-
tation.
But oh! what dismal, pityful voice
is that which turns the heart to tears!
"My children scattered, my leaders
in chains, wounded with the wounds
of centuries, torn by the iron of op.
preston, sigh for freedom" 'Tis the
voice of Ireland! A people in sorrow
and at such time as this when the
flag of liberty and freedom has been
unfurled to the breeze.
Versailles has adjourned, leaders
have returned to their respective peo.
pies, with the League of Nations as
balm and olive oil to cure all ills. But
still there sits the same old England
yonder lies oppressed Ireland!

BY Rev. William Schaefers.

Millions had hoped that Versailles
would at least debate the question
of Ireland's freedom. The millions
have hoped in vais. One is almost
tempted to say, in giving the reasons
why the hope was never realized, that
the question of Ireland's freedom was
too great, too serious question for
even Versailles, the reason being that
the debating of 1reland's freedom in
volved the possibility of England los.
ing one of her choicest possessions.
And is that not indeed very great, a
very grave manner-the possible loss
of the Emerald Isle to charms of the
League of Nations, the handwork of
England covenant promising free
dom and liberty to all!
Who is there to forestall the hope of
Ireland and her friends? England!
England alone stands at the door
through which men must pass to give
Ireland her crown of liberty. But, one
will say, did not England tell us that
she too stood for those principles
which Mr.. Wilson laid down as basis
for the worlds peace and reconstruc-
tion along national and territorial
lines? Yes, she assented in word, but
most assuredly not in deed. How is it
that she so stubbornly, so haughtily, so
tenaciously refuses the rights of Ire
land? She must be aware of the fact
that it is perfectly we'll known to all
intelligent men, and especially so to all
statesmen and public men, that the op-
preston of Ireland by the British Lion
has been fact for centuries, that
there is no legal and just power which
permits her throttling the Irish. Only
a tyrannical, greedy force stands in
the way of that peoples rightful free.
dom. England has exercised that sort
of power long enough. 1t is such a
power and policy which marshalled the
armies of Germany, we are told. 1t
was just such a cruel power which
fired the hearts of youths and urged
them to take the field against it, to lay
down their lives to destroy it. Such
power as England has held over Ire.
land is the very same sort of power
which we decided must die.
How can England refuse to give up
that power? How was it she entered
the conference at Versailles with such
a policy as hers? A policy besmearine
the robes of justice and rights which
she claimed to, be sporting? The great
est riddle, the most astonishing enig.
ma of the present day is the recent
conference at Versailles, with England
an essential element, the very same
old England of Ireland's undoing. Had
England washed her hands of the past

had she given, or at least promised,
the Irish their freedom, she might
then have sent her leaders to Yer

have had less reason for suspicion.

land all the while tucked under the
Briton's hypocritical robe. What
shame! The procedure at Versailles
was something like this:
A faint echo, it comes from the
hidden recesses of England's political
armor. Fearful lest the world leaders
catch the sound of 1reland's pleading,
she gags the voice while in the act of
fearlessly championing the liberation
of all oppressed nations. The British
Lion stands erect, there is clapping
of hands, without this basis-free-
dom-no engineer or architect can
possibly reconstruct the world on a
peaceful footing" He wakes strong in
the noble cause. "We stand, gentle
men, upon a common ground. We all
feel and know that freedom for all is
the star of hope. However much my
attention is needed at home, l hasten
with you to the vast. rurhbling regions

those bleeding Armenians." Rounds
of huzzas and thunderous applause
overwhelm the British Lion. He
modestly takes his seat. Hark!
wherefore am oppressed?" comes a
weakling voice. There shall be but
one voice" roars the British Lion, an.
swering the encores, of nations, 'and
that voice, my dear Mr.. Wilson, shall
be the voice of Patrick Henry-give

is scarcely leader who does not

.czAR RuLElN IRELAND

During the past week the editor OF
the Herald was privileged to read a
letter written by former resident
of Minnesota who is now living in
ireland, in which he tells of the out
rageous manner in which that coun-
try is governed. The writer is not
revolutionist but a reliable busi-
ness man whose statements are the
absolute truth. The letter is in part
as follows:
81 hope your senate will not agree
to sign the League of Nations doc
umenta until it is amended so as to
include Ireland, and in that way
have it's status recognized. How
grand those IA points of President
Wilson's read before the armistice,
and how flagrantly they have been
violated! Lloyd George and Glenn
enceau have been too clever for him.
Were it not for the American. dele
gates coming to Paris and then get
ting chance to come over here, there
would be no word about this country.
"They had grand opportunity to
see for themselves how this country
is governed, and must say they made
good use of their time, as their report
in pamphlet form as presented to the,
peace conference, a copy of which I
got from Paris, is most damning con-
viction of British administration here.
And this after England had got 150,-
900 Irish troops in the war, where Kit
chener said he would be satisfied if
Ireland contributed 10000.
"This country is now governed by
military. possibly 100000 to 100000
strong, with all the latest war ma
chimes, tanks, etc., in their efforts to
overawe the people into subsection,
and men are getting from three
months to three years imprisonment
for not telling policeman where they
we're at certain hour three days pre-
viously. Yet, considering the inhuman
treatment they have got in Jail, and
the numbers who have spent terms
there in the past few years, the won
der is that the people are so law-abid-
ing, and that more crimes against the
government are not committed.
"This town and its surroundings are
perfectly quiet yet there are from 200
to 500 soldiers stationed here con-
stantly. And mind you, there are no
Irish soldiers stationed in Ireland, at
present. It is aggravating to see them
parading the streets and suburbs, and
to think that these men are her for
no other purpose than to awe us and
keep us in subjection. And this by
government which boasted that their
entry into the war was for the free
dom of small nations. What hypoc-
ricy!

Mr.. Ritten then introduced Mr.. P. j.
O'Donnell, who introduced the follow
ing resolution, which was unanimous
ly adopted:
Resolution.
Whereas, since time immemorial
Ireland has been distinct civilized
nation; and,
Whereas, Ireland is today the most
ancient Christian nation of Europe;
and,
Whereas, the Irish people, despite
many waves of invasion; and despite
! centuries of the most cruel oppression
distinct nationhood, and has heroically
struggled by arms and otherwise,
against fearful odds in every genera
| tion to reassert and recover its in
alienable right to absolute indepen.
dence; and,
"Whereas, the principles so nobly
expressed by the President of the
United States and accepted by the al
| lied powers, and for the enforcement
of which our country's treasure was
poured out like water, and the best
blood of our brave boys was sacrificed
upon the altar of Liberty proclaim the
fundamental and sacred right of all
] peoples to be ruled only for their own
benefit and by government of their
own choice; and,
Whereas, in accordance with the
principle of self-determination at a
general election held in December
| 1918, and conducted under the forms
of British law, under adverse circum-
stances, the people of Ireland de-
clared themselves by an almost eighty
per cent (sOGh) vote in favor of an in
dependent Irish republic; and,
Whereas, England is expending ap-
proXimately sixty million dollars per
year on her Army of Occupation in
Ireland, and still larger sums in main
tanning her armies of occupation
among other subject peoples;
Now, therefore, be it resolved by
the citizens of Minneapolis in mass
meeting assembled on the 10Th day of
October, 1919, that we call upon Con-
gress to- withhold further loans and
financial accommodations from Great
Britain until she withdraws her Army
of Occupation from Ireland; be it
further
Resolved, that we request the Con-
gress of the United States to take
such action as will result in the recog'
milton of the Republic of Ireland as
one of the family of nations; and if in
the judgment of the Senate of the
United States it should seem wise to
establish a League of Nations, to so
frame such league that nothing there
in contained shall initiate against the
recovery of their national indepen-
dence by the Irish people or against
the recovery of the independence of
any other subject nation"
