religious training in either France or
Spain.
Seven nuns In the party were SIS
tiers of the Servants of Mary, who left
Mexico on the instruction of their su-
periors in France and Spain. They
will go to the chapter house at New
Orleans. The priests were mostly
Spanish and they Will return to Spain.
Members of the party said they left
Mexico because they believed 1t inev-
table that serious trouble would arise
as result Of the Mexican govern
ment's regulations prohibiting foreign
priests or religious teachers from con-
tinuing their work in Mexico.
Il am afraid and so are my friends,
that If some peaceful settlement Is not
soon reached there will be much blood
shedding" said Father Joaquin Arrigo,
spokesman for the priests. 1--WE hold
no bitterness for the Mexican govern
ment or for tho Mexican people. The
misfortune OF the Clerical party in
Mexico and the cause of the crisis is
that none of the professional people
lawyers, doctors and professors-lent
support to the Clerical party, thus
leaving the Clerical party standing
alone and unaided."

Element between France and the

French parliament during the present

Ever growing opposition of finan-

no immediate ratification
A communique issued by the semi
official Havas Agency tonight, evil
IDENTIFY inspired by the government, is
authority for this statement. The
communique reads in part:
Information is published in an
evening paper attributing to the pre-
mier the determination to adjourn t.
a very distant date consideration Of
the American and British debts, is
groundless.
'On the contrary, NJ. Poincare in
tends as soon. as the financial pro-
jects now before parliament are def
nitely voted, to have an exchange of
views concerning the inter allied

Urges Worthwhile
Effort for "Maine
Day" at Sesqui Show

Portland, Me, Aug 2-That the
State of Maine should cooperate with
the officials of the Sesqui- Centennial
Exposition now being held in Phila
delphia to celebrate the $50 years or
American independence and that the
officials and citizens of the state
should see that the observance of
Maine Day" at the Exposition which
comes on Oct. 5, should be fitting
with a program equalling if not sur
passing other state days is the opin-
ion of the Hon. Jas c. Hamlen ST., of
Portland who has just returned from
the Exposition where he represented
J the State under appointment of GOV.
Brewster as one of two Maine men,
bers of the National Advisory Com
mission formed at the instance of
Pres. Coolidge.
Mr.. Hamlin spent three days at
the Exposition with the other MEM
bers of the National Commission
from the various state of the coun-
try.
In discussing his conclusions of
the Exposition with newspaper men,
arrived at from what he saw and IN
consequence of his official relations,
Mn Hamlin states that in his opin-
ion the Exposition although it got off
to a poor start was destined ultl-
mately to be one that would rival any
of the several yet held in the coun-
try. He laid great stress on the
educational and patriotic value in the
numerous exhibits which are daily
being seen by thousands of visitors.
In pointing out the necessity that
Maine Day should be given the ut
most attention he pointed to plans
made by other states for their res
pectiye days.
He pointed out that Massachusetts
was already making elaborate plans
and that a representative state COM
mittee had been named. One plan in
mind by that committee he stated
was the chartering of a steamboat
for the duration of the trip taking
representative group of citizens to
the Exposition. Ohio he pointed out
was planning a special train under
the leadership of their Governor and
that other states were making simil-
ar plans.
Mr.. Hamlin stated that Gov. Brew
ster already had set in motion plans
for the observance of Maine Day
and urged that the citizens of the
state lend all possible assistance in
carrying out the program now being
arranged which will make the day
stand out as distinctive above the
other states.
Together with Mr.. Guy P. Gannett
OF Portland, the other member from
Maine of the National Advisory Com
mission, a rather careful inspection
has been made by Mr.. Hamlin and he
expresses surprise that there is not
more favorable attitude toward the
Exposition in this section OF the
country.

Govt. i'm Boston Talk

Boston, Aug. 1.-(P)-Branding the
Mexican governments religious regu-
lations as "a most brutal tyranny" on
the part of "a band of unprincipled
men who have climbed to power by
corruption. bribery and force" William
Cardinal O'Connell of Boston today
pictured the situation as "a test of
real strength and confidence in God"
Speaking at the Cathedral of the
Holy Cross. Cardinal OConnell declar-
ed that "the details of these crazy and
unprincipled attempts on the part of
a band of conspirators still holding Of
fee by corruption and force are so re-
voting as to make it evident that not
the profound reaction of honest citi-
Zens against despotism. but hatred
of all religion, is the chief and guild
ing motive of this body of men, now
calling itself the governmental Mex
ico."
Their action. after all, is logical
enough; they know well that the Cath
clio church, her bishops. priests and
people have been, and still are, the
most powerful bulwark against rapine,
robbery and anarchy which, say what
they will, is the real spirit ANNA ting
those now in possession of govern
mental offices in Mexico
again and again we know by his
tory that these trials come to individ-
uals and nations. only to test their
real strength and their real confidence
in God. We know that they suffer for
while, but that their very suffering
brings a revelation of their weakness,
sense of their unfaithfulness, and
with the realization Games new
strength. and out of the tomb, where
they were threatened with the sleep
of almost death, CLOVIS the light of a
great resurrection.
80 shall 1t be with Mexico. After
brief period of sadness and sorrow
the faith of the Mexican people will
take on new lease of life. These
trials will make Mexico see cher own
weaknesses and will point the way to
a vigorous and loyal spirit.
To-day our prayers go up to the
throne of God for all Mexico, irst for
those whose only crime is their faith.
May God give them experience in His
holy cause. And then even for those
misguided men who, blinded by pas
sion and greed and ambition, fill the
Christian world with mourning. May
they by the grace and power of God
see their sin and repent for It,"

The economic boycott proposed by

boycott is designed to bring about a
cessation of purchases, except abso-
lutte necessities, thus creating an eco

torate hopes will react so unfavorably
to force the government to modify it's
