CARDINAL FEARS
SCIALIST POWER
SAYS RELIGION SUFFERS
WHERE IT IS DOMINANT
Sees No Prospect for Real
Aid for Distracted
Ireland.

Dublin.-Cardinal Logue,', t, in his
Lenten pastoral, declares that thrones
nave been overturned and Kingdoms
and empires dismembered as a re-
suit of the war which has Just ended.
and says that in many cases power
has been seized by revolutionary So
cialists. Where socialism is dominan Mt
religion must suffer. The first exer-
else OF the power of some of the new
rulers had been to secularize the
schools and invade the rights of the
church. Socialism in any of the
forms in which it's advocates pro-
pound IL is inconsistent with Catho-
lie teaching. From the public utter
ances OF some of their own leaders
there was reason to fear that this
plague had caught hold of some OF
their own trade unions. One speaker
had even gone SO far as to claim il
lance with the bolshevists, a body
whose blood-stained career had
shocked the susceptihilities Of Chris
tendon, reviving in an exaggerated
form the worst horrors of the reign
of terror during the French revolu-
tion, nice alliance truly for the sons
of Holy Ireland.
describes as movement which has
long been. Matching to seculariZe the
schools of Ireland" 1t was necessarily
a clause of grave anxiety to Catholics
and a moment bad been skillfully
chosen for springing the plot when,
unfortunately, their means of resis-
tance were seriously crippled. In pur-
suanca of a policy which he had never
ceased to regard as illadvised and
ruinous, they had been left almost
unrepresented in parliament. Hence
this and other prejudicial measures
might be forced upon them while they
were bereft of ordinary and constitu-
tional safeguards. This was a move
ment which should be resisted and
would be resisted by every legitimate
means at their disposal.
In conclusion. Cardinal Logue
speaks of the distracted state of Ire
land, and says that. so far as human
foresight can forecast. there Is no
prospect of Improvement in the near
future. Improvement, he says, cannot
be reasonably expected while the
country continues, as in the past, to
be governed almost exclusively in the
interests of a small minority of its
people, unfairly Disseminated against
in the ALLEGATION Of public funds and
deprived of the birthright Of every
free nation-full and adequate control
of it's internal affairs. They were not
ruled by ordinary law, but subjected
to a drastic military code. under
which actions otherwise harmless
and trivial became grave offenses and
were pitilessly punished. He cau-
tions the people TO keep the peace
while this inf1iction lasts. They
should not expose themselves reck-
lessly to those severe punishments
by needless assemblies or othr prac-
tices which served no usefu purpose.
Drilling was a case in point. They
might practice the goose-step to the
Greek Kalends, but it would never
bring them one step nearer to free
dom. He gave a solemn warning
against the introduction of secret
societies, which exposed their men,
bers to the proXimate danger Of crime
were against the law of God, and
were solemly banned by the church.

BEGINS 10TH STRIKE WEEK
Lawrance, Mass. Textile Workers in
Riots.

Lawrence, Mass. April 7.-Rioting,
marked by promiscuous firing by
strike sympathizers and police,
opened the tenth week of the textile
strike here today. The outbreak oc-
Cured in the vicinity of the Everett
mills shortly before o'clock, a few
hours after the city had been stirred
by the explosion of bomb in a ten
ement house in the same neighbor-
hood.
Early reports indicate no one was
wounded by the shooting, although
several rioters and policemen were
injured by sticks, stones and clubs.
The rioting started when a few
sympathizers began throwing stones
at mill windows and then. shifted
their attack 10 policemen who sought
to quiet them. The crowd grew
rapidly and the little squad of Of
ficers called for reserves. City Mar
shal Timothy O'Bricn responded with
a large force and read the riot act.
Then the police finding their clubs
ineffective, drew their pistols and
their shots were answered by others
from the crowd. Men and women also
appeared at windows with missiles.
The rioting occurred at Common
and Newberry streets where there
are many tenament houses. The
crowd sought shelter among the
buildings, taking with them those
who had been injured by the officers
clubs.
The bomb explosion occurred before
daylight in a house on Newbury
street. The property damage was
small and although a score of per-
sons were in thu house attending a
wake no one was injured.
Police officials said the bomb prob
ably. was intended for an adjoining
house occupied by strikebreakers.

.WAL LEAD CHEERING
kiwans Club to Be Official Nois'
Makers Tuesday,

Kiwanis has undertaken the task
of being the noise producers, or
rather the welcome leaders, during
the parade of the 117th infantry and
the 115th artillery Tuesday morning.
At the weekly meeting of the club,
held during the noon hour at the Pat
ten. DR.. J. l.. Bibb, chairman of the
noise committee, outlined plans for
the day. The Kiwanians are to meet
at 10:40 Wednesday morning at. the
Patten. Megaphones and COW bells
will be distributed.
Then in a body the club will march
to the corner of Eleventh and Mar
ket streets. Forming in a line, the
club will march down Market street
about three blocks in the lead of the
marching column of victorious Thir-
tieth division boys. At each corner a
squad of eight Kiwanians will drop
out and will lead the cheers of their
corners. 1t will fall to the lot of the
club to see that the boys are given
a BETTING ovation. The men prom
ised to be on hand.
Warren Kimsey, song leader, re-
ported that the present indications
are that all city and county school
children will be given an opportunity
to participate in the celebration. The
county pupils will not be dismissed
from school for the day. This will
mean that the celebration will be de-
prived of one of its largest groups of
noise makers-Central High. Mr..
kimsey stated that it was Prof. Huff
aker's present plan to allow only the
two city high schools to participate.
The club went on record as unani-
mously requesting the city and coun-
ty school officials to let the children
take part in the parade. A commit
tee composed of Cal Sterchi. w. ".
Wolverton and r. L. Hudson was ap-
pointed to advise the school authori-
ties of the action of the club
The Kiwanis club will also have in
hand the entertainment of the con-
at general hospital IA dur
ing the day. Thirty cars will be
needed to bring the wounded men to
town. They will occupy the stand on
Market street between Seventh and
Eighth. Following the parade they
will be taken to the Keystone hall
for lunch. In the afternoon they will
be the guest of the club at a motion
picture theater, returning to the park
about o'clock.

why WILSON'S
SUDDEN RETURN?|
Obvious Reasons; Either
Breach Over Peace, or Task
Accomplished.
LATTER WELL SUPPORTED
Officials Refuse to Interpret
Significance of Presidents
Decision.

Washington, April T. Neither
White House nor state department
officials would attempt this afternoon
to interpret the significance of Presi-
dent Wilson's unexpected decision to
return to America as soon as the
George Washington can reach Brest.
In fact, they claimed to be without
knowledge that the president had ac-
tually given orders that the liner,
which is now undergoing repairs at
Hoboken. be dispatched at once 10
the French port. They sought to
cloak the matter with an air of mys-
terry which extended even so far as
New York, where acting Secretary OF
the Navy Roosevelt and Secretary to
the President Tumulty both denied
knowledge of the presidents reported
action. Obviously the presidents de-
cision was brought about by one OF
two situations: (2) that he has been
unable to iron out the differences
Ahat have arisen in the peace con-
ference. and (2) that the progress
of the conference, despite reports OF
numerous delays, actually has peen
40 rapid that it is now no longer
necessary that he remain in Paris.
II seemed, however. to be the con-
sensus of opinion in official circles
that the president is coming nome
because his work on the other side
has been completed, and completed
successfully. Those who snare tnis
