gift to Mr.. Wanamaker, who had sent
flags to the Vatican to be used at the
installation of the new Cardinal. The

"The sight Of the banners of the
United States, of Pennsylvania and the
City of Philadelphia will ever arouse
which Mr.. Rodman Wanamaker's
courteous gift has produced in u.s."
At the archiepiscopal residence Car
dinal Dougherty gave out statement
giving some of the Impressions he OBJ
tanned as to conditions in Europe. In
it be said:
eve thought we noticed some differ
ence in Europe from visits made before
the war; We thought we observed a
the part of employees. This was par
ticularly true in the trains and in the
hotels. We did not visit England, but
we heard on the boat that those who
had been there found an alarming
state of affairs on account of the coal
miners strike, which, if it were tc
spread to other organizations of labor
might bring on grave crisis.
"In France I was informed that there
has been an amelioration in religious
conditions since the war. This seems
effect of the war upon the people, but
also to the wonderful example Of pa.
triotism and bravery shown by the
$1,000 priests who fought as common
soldiers in the trenches"
The churchmen who made the trir
from Italy with Cardinal Dougherty
included Monsignors M. j. Crane anC
p. j. Supplee, Of Ehiladelphia, and the
