Uses Wireless to
Get Release of Aged
Catholic Archbishop
Bu Associated Press

Rome, March THE Vatican, for
the first time in history. has used
the wireless telegraph in interna-
tional relations. A report recently
reached Pope Benedict that the Boil
shevists had imprisoned Monsignor
De Ropp, archbishop of Mohilev,
who resides in Petrograd, and were
keeping him as a hostage.
Considering the advanced age and
infirmities of Monsignor De Ropp
and that his Imprisonment would
virtually mean death, the pontiff
ordered that everything be done to
obtain his release. Cardinal Cas-
parri, papal secretary of state, after
consultation with the Russian min
lister to the Vatican decided to send
a wireless despatch addressed to
"Lenine, Moscow" in which Cardi-
nal Gasparri expressed the regret of
Pope Benedict over the arrest of
the prelate and urging his liberation
because of his i'll health and age.

Minnesota Man at Last Found
What He Sought.
After Long Search, the Wondrous
Productivencss of Western Canada
Was Pointed Out, and He
Is Going There.

He farmed for number OF years
near Window, Minnesota, and as Mr..
o. S. Marcy told it, he had done well.
He had made sufficient money to see
him and his wife through their re-
naming days.
"But there were the boys, said Mrs.
Marcy, 'and six of them, too-some of
the six not yet back from overseas.
Yes, we are proud of Them" the fond
mother said, "but, oh my, we had no
girl" and she bemoaned that. These
boys had to be looked after. "Why not
settle them about you in your own
neighborhood? You have good land
there, splendid neighbors, and every
thing that might be desired"
Eyes, that is all true" replied this
estimable lady, "but the land Is so
high-priced we couldn't afford to buy
there, although worth every cent
asked for it. You see we have six
boys, and they are good one, too"
So, one day, three years ago, Mr. and
Mrs. Marcy rugged up the automobile
for touring trip. They wanted to in
vestigate for the boys benefit. The
journey lasted for year. 1t took
them through Arizona with its varied
scenery, it's climatic and agricultural
attractions; into the canyons of Colo
rsslo they went, and the agricultural
possibilities there aroused a large
amount Of interest. Still undecided,
down into the valleys of California the
automobile went. Fruit orchards were
plentiful, grain fields were attractive,
but the psychological time had not ar
rived. Reversing their way, they
passed through Washington, Oregon
and Montana and home. A years jour
ney and no results. "Oh, yes" Mr..
Marcy said, 1--WE had a delightful time,
enjoyed 1t all but the day and night up
In Colorado, when we were held up by
a wonderful snowstorm; we and six
others. Planking the snow embank-
ment, we came through safely, If q
trifle inconvenienced."
1t was interesting to hear these peo-
pie talk. Their practical minds showed
that they had mot lacked opportunities
for observation. They could not find
what they wanted for the boys. When

five years of age, Mr.. Marcy pictured
to himself the kind of a home he
wanted. He reared a family of boys
and had yet to find such place. His
years journey had been fruitless in
that respect.
One day he decided he would try
what Western Canada could do. He
had read Of it, and he had friends
there who had done well. He toured
the provinces of Manitoba, aaskatche.
wan and Alberta. He saw the vast
prairies, yielding their twenty and
twenty-five, and as high as forty bush
els of wheat, with enormous yields OF
other grains. The north central coun
try, which afforded The grass and the
shelter that made stock-raising a val
