for counsel on how the Czech army
can assure itself of It's own security.
and free return to its own country,
as decided upon with the assent or
all the allied powers.
"The army has been ready TO pro-
tect the railways In, the sector as
signed to 1t and has conscientiously
performed it's work. But now the
presence of the army to protect the
railway has become impossible be-
cause its activities are contrary TO
its aspirations in. the name OF hui
mainly and justice. In its work here
our army has been forced TO act
contrary to it's convictions In being
compelled to maintain an arbitrary
absolute power such as at present
rules. ~
THE burning of villages, the muir
der of peaceable Russian inhabitants
by the hundreds, shooting without
reason democratic men simply be-
adverse political views, all are OF
daily occurrence. The responsibility
for them before the entire world Will
fall upon us because, having armed
forces. we do not prevent these In
justices. titt VI
THAT this is the case is due di-
rectly to our compulsory neutrality
and non-intervention in Russian In
ternal affairs. Our loyalty to this
policy has led us In spite OF our
selves to become accomplices to a
crime. In communicating this to
the allied powers, to which the
Czechs are and always will be faith
full allies, we, believe 1t necessary by
every means to- inform the world OF
the moral and tragic situation in
which the Czech army has been
placed, and of It's causes.
1--WE ourselves see no other way
out Of this situation than imme-
diately to eyacuate our sector unless
given the right to prevent injustices
and crimes such as cited above.

year. He laid the cornerstone of
the Catholic University in Washing
ton, and was its chancellor since its
foundation. He was the first Roman
Catholic prelate in the United States
to take part in the election of a
pope, casting his ballot for Pope
Piux x.
The scholarship and statesman
ship of Cardinal Gibbons has been
recognized by theologians of all
creeds.
Religion" he said shortly before
his death, "is the only solid basis
for society. Religion is to society
what cement is to a modern building
it makes all parts compact and CO.
herent. The teachings of Christ have
been the basis of all Christian leg
islation for nearly 1000 years and
continue to be the light and guide
for hundreds of millions Of souls.

Christ exercises on the human races.

bons were spent among his friends
in his native Baltimore. He was q
picturesque figure on the streets.
Notwithstanding his high office, His
Eminence was one of the most DEM
ocratic of Americans. During his
daily walks about the city he re-
ceived the respectful salutations Of
persons of all faiths responding with
his genial and cordial smile, whether
to a policeman or a distinguished
financier
Cardinal Gibbons attained to the
last keen inteest in sociology.
''We are confronted by at least
three great evils" he said in a re-
cent interview. "They are polygamy
and divorces; imperfect education;
and the tendency Of our women to
become like men and less womanly.
Woman occupies the throne in the
home. She should not seek another
one. That has been proved time and
again in history and that is why
am opposed to woman suffrage"
The trend Of the times and the
powers of the press as a protector
of society greatly impressed Cardi-
nal Gibbons during the last years Of
his life.
"This power of the press is meal
culable," he said in speaking Of re-
cent developments. 'Tt's argus, al
most searchlight eye, is ever looking
for the weak spot in humanity, to
throw it into cold prominence. AS
rule the public exposures of public
men are now pu bic benefactions.
The SCATTERING of popular idols has
of late become a thing of almost
daily occurrence. 1t is a sad thing
to contemplate, but it is an newt
able condition.

]. Cardinal Gibbons
Dies at Baltimore

James Cardinal Gibbons, Arch
bishop of Baltimore and Primate of
the American Catholic church, died
at the Arch Episcopal residence in
Baltimore Thursday after prolonged
illness, which mainly affected his
heart. He was in his 10Th year.
Active service for more than half
a century in the interests of coun-
try as well as his church is closed
by the death of James Cardinal
Gibbons. At the celebration, in 1911,
of the twenty fifth anniversary Of
his elevation to the Cardinalate, His
Eminence, out Of all the tributes
paid him, expressed himself as most
affected by that from William How
ard Taft, his intimate friend, and
then President, who said:
Through his long and useful life
Cardinal Gibbons has spared no eff
fort in the cause of good citizen
ship and the uplifting of his fellow
men,"
"You have portrayed your sub
ject not, I fear, as he is, but as he
should be-" responded the Cardinal.
Zone merit only can claim, and
that is an ardent love for my native
country and her political institu-
tons. I consider the republic of the
United States one of the most preci-
Gus heir looms ever bestowed on
mankind down the ages. 1t is the
duty and should be the delight of
every citizen to strengthen and per-
petuate our government by observ-
ance Of it's laws and by the integrity
of the public life."
Born in Baltimore, Md, of Irish
parents, July II, 1884, James Glib
bons spent his youth in Ireland, but
family returned to America, settled
in New Orleans, where he acted as
"punctual grocer's boy"
~ look back on these early days
of hard work with PRIDE" he said in
speaking of his boyhood. 81 am a
firm believer in the school Of hard
and honest labor"
His ambition for the priesthood
began in those early days; at 81 he
began preparations for his service
in the Roman Catholic church. Grad

At the close of the Civil War
Father Gibbons became private Sec
rotary of Archbishop Spalding and
was appointed chancellor of the do
cese. Through strength of charac-
ter he rapidly won his way. He was
elected assistant chancellor to the
second Plenary Council at Baltimore
in 1866. Two years later, by bill
of Pope Plus TX, the young priest
was translated to North Carolina,
where he served as titular bishop,
and first vicarapostolic.
His record in the Southern State
is remarkable. He travelled among
his people from the sea to the noun .

The hardworking young bishop
was sent to Richmond in 1872. He
builded and enlarged schools, asy-

Baltimore Diocese. Through his in
fluence, Bishop Gibbons became his
coadjutor. A few months later Arch
bishop Balyey died. Bishop Gibbons,
43 years of age, became Archbishop
Of the diocese, and the highest dig
nitary of the Roman Catholic church
in the United States.
AS Archbishop he headed the del
egation of American prelates to
Rome in 1888. He outlined their
plane for the third plenary council
to be held the next year. Pope Leo
XIII appointed him to preside over
the council. He directed the en-
actment of many new DEGREES which
were favorably approved by the &C.
clesiastical authorities.
The brilliant executive ability of
Archbishop Gibbons was Immediate
ly recognized. He was created car

quarter century after he had en-

1886. He was So years of age.

. pense Program.

FRED DOMINICK MAY
GET ON WAYS AND
MEANS COMMITTEE
Congressman From Third District
Slated For An Important Berth
Democrats Plan Meeting

Washington, Feb. 17.-Democrats
in the House are awaiting the numer-
ical representation which they will
be allowed on committees by the Re-
publicans before making their plans
for the extra session which is expect
ed to be called soon after the inau-
guration of President Harding. Be-
cause of the decreased Democratic
membership the number which they
will have on the various committees
is expected to be reduced consider
ably.
Chief interest centers in places on
the ways and means and the appro-
priations committees. Three of their
ten ways and means members, Repre-
sentatives Hull, Tennessee, Railey,
Illinois, and Dickinson, Missouri, will
retire with the present congress.
Those mentioned for places include
Representatives Moore, Virginia, Ste
gall, Alabama, Hayden, Arizona, and
Dominick, South Carolina, with the
apparent general understanding, ac-
cording to leaders, that Representa-
tive Garrett, Tennessee, can have
one of the vacancies if he wants it.
Democrats are expected to select
the Democratic members on the other
committees and report them back to a
subsequent caucus for approval or
disapproval. ...
Only five Democrats of the Is. on
the present appropriations commit
tee will be members of the new con-
gress and their successors will be
picked from the legislative commit
tees which formerly handled the ap-
preparations now consolidated under
this one committee. Democratic lead
ers declare they expect the usual rule
to be to take the ranking Democrats
on these committees for the appro-
priations vacancies. They expect their
membership to be less in the new
house.
Representative Claud Kitchin of
North Carolina, will be Democratic
leader in the next House succeeding
Representative Champ Clark, Of Mis-
souri,, who retires in March. He is
also the ranking minority member on
the ways and means committee.
Democrats will have to select new
chairman and secretary for their
party caucus, as Representatives De-
walt, of Pennsylvania, and Ashbrook
of Ohio, who have held these positions
will not be in the next congress.
