arms and ready for instant action on
August /, at which time, reports pre-
viously have stated, the Catholic
churches throughout the nation viii
be closed under orders from high &C.
clesiastical officials.
The dispatch said that the serious
ness of conditions throughout the re-
public, as a result of the governments 8
decision to enforce the new religious
measures, had thus been recognized
by federal officials.
The secretary of wars order was
dispatched to military commanders in
the different Mexican states today,
the Herald message said.
The dispatch continued that at the
time the report was sent from Mexico
CITY more than 40 priests had filed pc
titions received from the government
for passports insuring safe passage
from Mexico.
Great secrecy is declared to prevail
regarding future actions OF the
clergy and nothing definite is known
as to what attitude will be taken by
the church when enforcement of the
new religious laws starts, other than
the churches will be closed as pro-
test to the measures. The message

CHICAGO, July 23 OP.-Cardinal
Mundelein, in a letter to be read next
Sunday in all Catholic churches of
the Chicago archdiocese, crittclzes the
Mexican government for what he
terms a conspiracy" in attempting
to stamp out religion. In general and
the inherited Catholic faith or its
people in particular.
The letter, made public today. bids
the parishioners to use the spiritual
weapon of worldwide prayer" in obey
ing the designation by Pope Plus XI
of August / as day of universal
PRAYER for the stricken church of
| Mexico.
"And down in Mexico" said the
cardinals letter, there is nothing
very original in the methods that are
being pursued; the procedure follow
ed Is quite crude and bungled, and
because of the very stupidity dis
played by those conducting the con-
spiracy it has been difficult to arouse
the American people to honest indig-
nation or to irT1tate us into decided
action, for our people seem convinced
| that all such attempts will naturally
fail again, even as they have in the
past"

UNDER WAY
INTO LIQUOR SALES
|. ABOARD LEWATHAN
Customs and Justice Agents
Ordered to Establish Facts
of Charge.

By the Associated Press.
Charging of liquor selling aboard
Shipping Board vessels, including the
Leyiathan, are under investigation by
Federal authorities in New York.
Taking cognizance of public charges
by w II. Stayton, head OF the Asso-
citation Against the Pr n b tt o n
Amendment officials said that Gus
toms authorities and Department OF
Justice agents already had been di-
rectet9 to esta E,lisf1 the faEtsF r e
The investigation is entirely in the
hands of the field administrators at
New York and no reports have been
received here.
Difficult to Get Evidence.
Frank Dow, acting chief of the pro-
hibition and custom service, said con-
siderable liquor undoubtedly had
come in on both United States and
foreign vessels, but 1t had been impos-
sible so far to secure evidence suffi-
cient to confscate any ships.
The Shipping Board has cooper
ated with the prihibition service, Mr..
Dow said, and in come instances had
discharged large numbers of seamen
implicated in the importation of liquor.
In making his charges in public
statement, Capt. Stayton called at
tention to suggestions that paddock
proceedings be instituted against the
offending ships, but it was pointed
out here today that an even more
drastic penalty could be applied to
vessels which illegally transport In
toxicants. Buildings where the law
is violated can be closed and pad
locked, but ships, like automobiles are
subject to conf1scation.
Would PenaliZe individuals.
The ships in question already are
the property of the United States
Government, however, and it was in.
dicated that any penalties imposed
probably would lie more heavily
against the individuals responsible
than against the vessels themselves.
Shipping Board officials expressed
surprise at the charges made by Capt
Stayton. 1t was recalled that the
question of the sale of liquor aboard
American merchant ships outside
territorial waters had come up several
years ago and that orders than had
been issued which removed beverage
| liquors from the ships account and
| required captains to see that there
| were no liquor sales aboard.
