What Protestant SeCtS
Hope to Accomplish

349 of this total is to be available at
once.
Contributions to this titanic fund
are expected from the 1899, Alb men,
bers of the sects cooperating in the
campaign, and from the 58,366,241
Americans who (according to Protes-
tant enumerations) are identified with
no church or religious organization.
It will be seen, therefore, that the
captains of the movement depend for
the success of their "drive" upon the
money and efforts of an aggregate fol-
lowing that is approximately 5000, 900
less than the Catholic population of
the continental United States.
The general purpose of the Inter-
church Movement are these:
Support of home missions.
Promotion of foreign missions.
Maintenance of hospitals, homes and
schools in the United States.
Increase in the salaries of regular
ministers and missionaries.

themselves with the sort of "self-de.
termination" offered to Ireland.
Some time ago took the liberty of
communicating to the press my views
on the exposition which Mr.. Lloyd
George gave in the House of Com.
mons on December % last of his
scheme for the partition of Ireland.
The scheme was then in embryo, but
it has since developed into it's full
blown denationalizing form under the
fostering care of the British Cabinet
and the domineering patronage of Sir
Edward Carson.
1t is styled "A Bill for the Better
Government of Ireland" After perus-
ing this precious document and trying
as best l could to get grasp of its
contents, have come to the conclu-
sion that it should rather be called "a
Bill for the Permanent Partition and
Plumber of Ireland, and the Enslave-
ment of Her People in the Interest of
Great Britain"
It may be that not a few of our
people will look with misgiving on
my action in recognizing the existence
of these Lloyd Georgian proposals, in
asmuch as they regard them as an in
suit to Ireland and an official denial
of her rights as a nation. In them
they see the deep laid design of the
spoiler for plundering our resources,
cramping our energies and depriving

that a union of Bavaria and Austria

Many of these rumors have reached
Washington through official sources
indicating that foreign chancelleries
are giving more consideration than
they have given for many years prior
to the outbreak of the great war, to
the enormous influence of Catholicism
upon European political and social

The first observations were made
by about thirty people on March 80 Of
last year, after the general Commun-
ion given at the closing of the mis-
sion given by the Franciscan Friars of
Montehano. Nothing was observed
the following days, until the 18th Of
April, when three persons, two Of
whom cried against the truth of the
miracle, were surprised by seeing the
movement of the eyes of the Sculp.
ture of the Crucified. Again for few
days the phenomena ceased, and were
observed once more, the Goth of April,
in the afternoon. Since that day till
now it can be said that very few days
have passed without observing the
wonderful apparitions. Since the said
30th Of March to this date, about one
hundred and thirty thousand or more
pilgrims have passed by this church,
and q conservative average would
give more than ten thousand persons
of all classes of society that have seen
the miraculous phenomena. There are

Demonstration In Washington Exposes
to the World EngIand's Reign Of
Terror.

Washington, April ia voice
pleading for Ireland against British
rule by blood and iron was raised
under the windows of the Capitol by
American women last week. 49,
1t broke forth in response to an
appeal from Mrs. Hanna Sheehy
Skefington for American women to
prevent, IL they could, the reported
plan of the British military in Ire
land to draw the Slim Fein movement
in sudden and drastic blood-letting
set for this Easter Sunday.
Bearing aloft banners which pro.
claimed 1reland's right to be free and
demanding the abrogation of all
treaties with England until that free
dom should be granted sixty women
from cities east of the Mississippi
marched from the Lafayette Hotel,
near the White House, to the room of
the Foreign Relations Committee of
the Senate in the Capitol Building.
Capital Taken BY Surprise.
1t was sudden and effective ges,
ture by lovers of liberty which took
Washington entirely by surprise. Only
a few hours before, the word had
come from Mrs. Skeffington in Dublin
that the fourth anniversary of her
husbands murder during the tragedy
of Easter, 1916, would be celebrated
by a massacre by the British army of
occupation.
The quick response of today's dem
onstrators and the placards they
bore gave the capital its first direct
news Of the tragedy impending in Ire.

newspapers appeared with display re-

is discounted in official quarters in
Washington. 1t is doubted, in the first
place, that Bavaria would combine
with Austria in view of the deplorable
economic conditions in the latter
country and union of Austria with
Germany is barred by the treaty of
Versailles.
The Baltic situation also offers in
teresting possibilities in the way Of
the revival of Catholic influence in
view of the reconstruction of the
Polish state and the possible recog.
milton of the other so-called Baltic re.
publics. After the partition the Catho.
lies under Russian domination in this
region, Lithuanians, Poles, and Ru.
thenians, were for the most part, un.
der pain Of severe punishment,
obliged to subscribe to the Russian
orthodox faith; but, in many cases,
occasional missionaries said Mass
and administered the sacraments in
the depths of the silent forests. With
the menace of bolshevism removed
religion in these Baltic countries will
turn back to it's old channels with the
possibility that the Catholic Church
will eventually regain the position It
once held.

Along the lines of march, surprise
quickly gave place to warm approval
among the spectators Passing mo-

made it impossible for the marchers
to approach the building directly, so
