CATHOLICS AT RICE TO BUILD
NEW CHURCH.

st. Cloud Times: Catholics of the
Immaculate Conception parish of Rice,
Mimi, at meeting yesterday pledged
$4,000 toward the building Of new
church and parish house, Rt. Rev. Jos.
F. Busch, who was present stated this
morning. Bishop Busch told the gath
ering that it would be necessary that
$4,000 be pledged before the project
could be considered seriously, he said.
Much enthusiasm was shown, and indi-
cations are that the required amount
will be raised within short time.
It has been the sentiment Of the par
ishiohers for some time that new build
ings were needed, but it could not be
decided whether the church or parish
house should be erected first. 1t is
now planned to build basement church
for the present, and the PASTORS resi-

STAND 0F:THE LEGION
COMMANDER D'OLIER CALLS ON
LEGION TO BACK LAW AND
. ORDER.
TndianaDOliS. Dec. 23,

Indianapolis, Dec. 70.
Frank D'Olier, national commander
Of the American Legion, today declar-
ed that neither "Natonal, state nor To-
csi organizations of the American Le-
gion have any right to take the law in
their own hands or interfere with prop
er arthority,' and warned members Of
the legion that such action would be
subvers;vc of the principles and ideals
OF the organization. The declaration
was made by the national commander
in view Of reported activities which, he
said, made it imperative that the organ
ization s policy on law and order be de-
fined.
Must Cooperate With Nation.
"The American Legion Mr.. D 'Olier
said, "rcprcsents nearly 100000 citi-
zens who have demonstrated their 10y
atty and patriotism. We realize, how
ever, that there are 1OO,O0O,O00 other
Americans just as patriotic and loyal.
We represented the spearpoint and
back Of US was the power Of whole
nation at war. Our effectiveness was
in proportion to the strength of the
country back of us. And now we must
realize that the strength Of the legion
and our influence and service to the ma
tion will be measured only by our abil-
ity to cooperate effectively with the
10O,O00,o00 other loyal and patriotic
American citizens in the promotion Of
100 per cent Americanism, and the
maintenance Of law and order. We
know that there is only one way to
maintain law and order, and that one
and only way is through the orderely
process of government and it's duly con-
stituted agencies.
"In times Of need and emergency, we
members Of the American Legion stand
ready as individuals, to support,
strengthen and speed up, if necessary,
the civil authorities charged with the
maintenance of law and order
but always in accordance with compe-
tent authority, which we realize now is
civilian and not military, and originates
in the constitution Of the United States
as expressed through national, state and
local governments.
State Legionaries Uphold Order Plea.
"The summons of Franklin D 'Olier,
national commander of the American
Legion, to all members to maintain law
and order through the processes Of gov
ernment, rings true to the principles Of
the Lcgion,' George Ferch, secretary
of the Hennepin county organization,
said today. "He expressed exactly the
principles we have declared to be those
sof the Legion in Minneapolis, in Min
sAesota and throughout the country.
;SMinnesota officers Of the Legion have
I'D the same things beforc.'
% Harrison Fuller, state commander of
The Legion, said thu national COM
mandcr had expressed the standards al
sready adopted by the state organiza-
Stion.
eff we do not follow those standards
Your purpose will be defeated, - he said.
1--WE must maintain law and order; 1t
lis two edged sword: we canont invoke
xxit if we do not observe it. There have
8been instances where members OF the
q Legion have allowed their enthusiasm
I TO run away with them. The Legion as
#such never has been involved in infrac-
fions of ]aW and never will be. -

ESTHON|AN REPUBLIC
NEW STATE is OFFICIALLY REC.
OGNIZED BY THE HOLY SEE.

The Holy See has now officially rec
ognized the Republic of Esthonia, fol-
lowing the example of France, Italy,
Japan and Great Britain. The Repub-
lie of Esthonia was one of the first
states to be formed in Russia after
the fall of the Cars regime.
The negotiations for securing Papal
recognition have been carried out by
NJ Edouard Virgo, the diplomatic rep
resentatiye of Esthonia, who has lived
in Rome for some time. He guaran-
tees, in the name of his government
and in accordance with the spirit of
the new constitution, full and entire
liberty to the Catholic Church. The
Holy See has assured the Esthonian
nation of it's moral support in order
to secure the recognition of it's rights;
and the Papal Secretary of State, Car
dinal Gasparri, has made a similar
declaration to the Esthonian repre-
sentative in His Holiness name.

The honors paid to the body of

England for burial, recalls the story
of French Catholic lady, Mile. Thul-

sisted Edith Cavell in her work of
saving soldiers of the Allied forces.
During five months at the utmost peril
of her life, Mile. Thulliez was able to
guide more than two hundred British
and French soldiers to safety.
On July 81, 1915, while on visit
to Nurse Cavell, she was arrested,
she was tried together with Nurse
Cavell and condemned, to death, as
was also the Comtesse de 4Belleville.
The case of the countess was taken up
by the Spanish ambassador, but that
of Mile. Thulliez was not brought to
his notice. The preparations for her
execution went on, and it was fixed
for the early morning of October Is.
