LONDON, Oct. 2s.-In the House of
Commons to-day Mr.. Bonar Law, gov
ernment leader, replied to question
by Josiah Wedgwood, the Liberal mem
Der, in regard to statements by Will
lam G. Bullitt. formerly member of
the American peace mission, on his
trip to Russia. Mr.. Bonar Law said
Premier Lloyd George had not per-
sonally read the report of the pro-
ceedings, but that this had been ex
amined for him.
The Premier, he said, adhered to his
statement that in effect the statement
of Mr. Bullitt was a tissue of false
hoods.
Early in September Philip Kerr, sec
retary to Premier Lloyd George, an
nounced officially that the account of
private conversations between Mr. Bul.
lit, the Premier and himself in regard
to the Russian situation, was tissue

Reiss Opposes Alimony

Arthur Reiss, whose father is senior
member of a large cotton converting
firm, opposed in the Supreme Court
Eva L. Reiss for alimony in her separa-

covery that Mrs. Reiss had been mar

Reiss said he learned his wife had
been divorced in 1907 in New Jersey
from Charles Vanderbook.

practical interest in the cause of Irish
freedom. In the early part of the
week they received notice from the
state officers that they were expected
to do their share in contributing their
portion of the $l50,O0O promised by
their national president. Immediately
they set to work and arranged for a
card party for the older people and a
dance for the younger crowd. And
that the people of Graceville did not
lack enthusiasm for the cause could
be gathered from the large number
that assembled in Fraternity hall. The
meeting served the double purpose of
getting funds and celebrating Irish
republic recognition week in common
with the larger towns and cities
through the country. The L. A., A. o.

They are to be congratulated on their

Mrs. Mary w. Mogan, wife of NJ.

Pittsburgh, Pa, about 6S years ago.
She had moved with her parents, Paul
A. and Rose A. McDermott, his wife,
to Minnesota when she was very
small child. This was more than so
years ago, when st. Paul was mere
= hamlet of about 200 persons. There
her parents located and after a brief
period, removed to St. Peter, MINI.
Here they made their home and con-
tinued to reside until their deaths.
Mrs. Mogan, losing her father when
she was very young by violent death
through accident in tornado, began
teaching school when she was 16
years of age. After four or five terms
were taught by her, she came to
Minneapolis in the very early '7Os,
where she has since resided. She
has been very active all of her
life in fraternal and uplift work, and
was we'll known and highly respected
among her numerous friends and &C.
quaintances She was married to M.
w. Mogan, we'll known in fraternal
and labor circles in 1888, and two
sons now living, blessed their union.

Colo, and Mrs. E. J. Johnson of

Anna Maria Taigi, wife and mother OF
the Third Order of the Trinitarians; ;
and, secondly, that of the approval of
three miracles, wrought by God at the

Holiness was read by Msgr. Verdier
Vicar General of the Lazarists, who
had on each side of him the postula,

causes. Speaking in French, he said

er was there a time in the history of
the world, when this virtue was more
needed. He alluded to France, Spain
and Italy, the three countries where
the miracles had taken place, as "three
sisters representing humanity to show
to the world that such as ask for the
blessings of charity should turn to the
Ven. Louise de Marillac" "And why
not add" he continued, "that we thank
God for having given us another op

our good will towards France, for all
that concerns it's happiness and
glory?.. We hope that Louise de
Marillac will soon show that, even on
