J. P. Morgan & Co. as it's depository

as it's active representative in France.
Catholics may now contribute to the

America that their donations will be
expended for the purposes for which
they are given.

and proclaim the independence OF the
Irish republic.
The national assembly will begin to
legislate at once. An attempt will be
made to levy taxes and all attempts to
collect imperial revenue will be re-
sisted. Missions will be sent to for
eign countries and the actions of an
independent state will be initiated in
every possible way. OF course, this
means inevitable collision with the
large British force now in Ireland.
This is exactly what the Sim F'einers
are playing up for.
Prepared for Fighting.
They are prepared for considerable
sacrifice of life so long as fighting can
take place. When the Allied confer
ences and peace congress are taking
place they will demand admission as

right of self-determination.

The demonstration of last Sunday
afternoon at the St. Paul auditorium
will be ranked as one of the greatest
and most enthusiastic that has ever
been held in the capital city. A feel

marked feature of all the Irish DEM

out the country pervaded the vast as

several addresses evoked the most
strenuous applause. Tense interest
was manifested in the recitals of the
progress that is being made in the
great movement throughout the world.

was on the eve of it's trial before the
tribunal of the nations, and every
thing pertaining to the situation was

delivered short address dealing with

Mr.. James Monahan the well-known

A letter from President E. A. Prem.
dergast, accompanying the issue OF
the annual report of the Society OF
St. Vincent de Paul of Minneapolis
for the year 1913, contains sugges
tion that will doubtless evoke many
responses from the Catholics of the
city. Mr.. Prendergast says:
An invitation should be extended
to the Catholics of Minneapolis to
visit the Mission on Cedar Avenue on
Sunday afternoons, and mention should
be made that the Society is in need
of funds to support the Mission and
assist the City Missionary in this
work. l believe that as the Society
and it's work become better known in
Minneapolis Catholics will respond to
its needs, and in few years we will
have the Society upon the same basis
that it is in St. Paul. The total re-
ceipts in St. Paul last year for the
Particular Council of that city were
over $4,000. They have a large list
of regular donors who without any
solicitation each year send in their
contributions.
The officers of the Particular Coun-
Gil of Minneapolis are: President,
E. A. Prendergast; Vice-president, F.
A. Gross; Secretary, Peter Carter;
Treasurer, John NJ. Gleason; Assistant
Secretary. Fred v. Milan; Spiritual
Director, Rev. William Dricoll.

"The last six years have taught US

Aircraft Opens
Up New Field For
Moving Picture Man

London, April 16.-Aircraft de-
velopment during the last few years
has thrown open to the moving
picture man an entirely new field.
1t may be some years yet before
flying comes within the means of
the ordinary person as a mode of
travel but, through the film he may
experience some of the artistic joys
of aviation.
Already a certain amount of aerial
cinema photography has been car
ried' out essfully-enough, at
least, to measure its possibilities.
In the near future, it is expected
that magnificent mountain scenery
will be photographed from aircraft
not only in Switzerland and in the
United States, but in Abyssinia, the
Himalayas and other less-explored
regions of the world.
The whole of a wonderful flight
from, say, San Francisco to London
or from Lond on to India or to Aus
tralia, may in time, be shown to the
public.

Contests Will of
Mrs. Leslie Who Give
Estate to Suffrage

New York, April ia contest
of the will of Mrs. Frank Leslie,
leaving the bulk of her estate to
the woman suffrage cause, was be-
gun here by Althea, the Baroness
Salvador, a Dutch subject residing
in Paris. Attorneys for the Baro-
ness obtained from the surrogate a
citation making Mrs. Carrie H.
Wrenn, of Crawford, N. j., niece
and next of kin of Mrs. Leslie, a
party to the proceedings.
The Baroness alleges that the Les
lie will made in 1914 and already
probated, a proceeding which she
seeks to overturn, was drawn when
Mrs. Leslie was of unsound mind
and under undue influence exerted
upon the testator by Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait, named as trustee of
the suffrage fund, and William Mel
son Cromwell and Louis II. Cramer,
executors of the will and trustees
of the estate. The Baroness claims
that in valid wills of the testator,
drawn in 1907 and 1911, she is left
a $4,000 diamond necklace and
$4,000.

WAR ON SPIES IN
NORTH RUSSIA
Nearly All Trouble in Arch
angel Traced to These
Agents

ArchangeI. April 16. While
American and other allied troops are
waging war against the Bolsheviki
on the Northern Front, another war
is continually going on in Archangel
the war against Bolshevik spies
and agents.
! Nearly all the trouble that has
occurred in Archangel, in the way of
strikes and hesitating morals on the
part of some of the new Russian
conscript troops, can be traced to
! these agents. In the first place
when the Allies occupied Archangel,
| it was absolutely impracticable to
search out, among the civilian popu-
lation, all the Bolshevfki who re-
mained behind.
Many of the Bolshevik soldiers
whom our forces captured at the
front, including many who said they
were forced to serve with the Boil
sheviki despite their objections, vol
unteered, and were accepted, in
Archangel, into the new Russian
battalions formed here to fight with
the Allies. Some of these men were
sincere volunteers and are doing
splendid work at the front. A few
| others, however, became ringleaders
of Bolsheviki propaganda plots aim
ed to destroy the fighting morale of
their comrades.
Also, in the territory near the
front, which consist for the most
part of forests. Bolsheviki have been
able to come through our lines dis
guised as peasants.
1t is a tribute to the Allied and
Russian Intelligence Service that the
work of these agents has been, for
the most part. nipped in the bud.
Realizing the source of most of
the labor troubles that have arisen
from time to time, the Governor,
General Eugene Miller, has pro-
hibited strikes among workmen en-
ployed on war materials.
One of the efforts of the Bolshevik
agents has been their attempt to
gain sympathizers among the Ameri-
can soldiers. This has failed sign

class, school against school, race
against race. We suffer from strikes.
riots; lynchings, both in the north and
in the south; from scarcity of some of
the necessities of life and from the high
cost of many things that are plenty.
All the remedies of the world have
failed TO cure its wrongs.
Has the Church Failed?
This depends upon our definition OF
the church. If the church is simply a
philosophy like epicureanism, or a
moral organization as many iSms and
ethical societies of today are, then it,
too, has failed to bring peace, order and
righteousness to cure a suffering
world. If all persons who call them
selves Christians lived as Jesus teach
es in the sermon on the mount, many
evils that now afflict our nation would
soon disappear. Living the words of
the text alone, if faithfully practiced
by the 100000 professed Christians in
America, would end most of the strikes,
profiteering, high cost of living, and
class and race antagonism.
In "The Lutheran of November Is,
is an editorial on THE Appeal of the
World in which are these words full
of meaning: 1.-THE duty of the church is
summed up in two little words, preach
and live. 1t is impossible to live
Gods Word without preaching it. But
it is possible to preach it without liv-
ing it The danger of the church has
always been that men would deem IL
sufficient to preach without consistent
living. There are men, as st. Paul
says, having a form of goodness, but
denying the power thereof Then
there are branches of the church as a
whole, or religious organizations like
the church in Sardis, to whose mem
bers Jesus Christ speaks, through the
apostle John, from heaven. Il know
thy works, that thou hast name, that
thou Invest and art dead
The true church, called the hoy of
