veal ." the proposal already in great
part actually put into effect, to monop-
Ollie completely the young and all
for the exclusive advantage of a party,
of a regime which clearly resolves
itself into a true and real pagan wor-
ship of the state."N
The Pontiff expresses himself as pre-
occupied particularly with the thought
that so many young Catholics have
taken the Fascist oath and are "tor-
tured by doubts of whose existence we
have incontrovertible evidence"
Suggests Oath Reservation.
To restore tranquility to those con-
sciences, he suggests q mental reserva-
ton, such as safeguarding the laws OF
God and Of the church." or "in accord
ance with the duties Of good Chris
tian.'
Far better" he writes, would be Ito
omit the cath altogether, since it is
always an act of religion and certainly
has no appropriate place in TAKING
membership in political party.
I'VE have not said that we wish. to
condemn the party as such. We have
intended to condemn that which
we have seen and have understood to
be contrary to the Catholic doctrine
and, therefore, irreconcilable with
the name and with the profession OF
Catholics. . -
I'VE believe that we have thus at
the same time accomplished a good
work for the party itself, because OF
what interest and success can the
party have in a Catholic country like
Italy in maintaining ideas and
practices which cannot be reconciled
with Catholic conscience?
Relies on Christian Patience.
Everything Is definitely promised
in answer to prayer: If the answer
will not be the re-establishment of
serene and tranquil relations, it will
have its answer, at any rate, In Chris
tian patience.
THE Church Of God, which wishes
nothing from the state that belongs
to the competence of the state, will
cease to be asked for that which is of
the competence Of the, church, the ed
ucation and the Christian formation
of youth. This is not through human
favor, but by divine mandate, and that
which therefore she will always ask
with an insistence which cannot
cease"

BARTSCH SUIT AGAINST
WIFE STRIKES SNAG
Justice Bailey Reverses Ruling At
tempting to Grant Right to
Regain Property.

Justice Jennings Bailey of the Dis
trict Supreme Court yesterday reversed a
previous ruling by which he attempted
to grant a petition of Paul Bartsch,
curator of the national Museum for
the return of personal property taken
by Mrs. Signe G. Bartsch, when she
left her husband and began a suit for
limited divorce.
Before he had signed an order on
the earlier ruling. Justice Bailey re-
quested a reargument of the matter
and reached the conclusion that in a
divorce action the court is without jul
risdiction to order a division of per-
sonal property or to enjoin its DISPOSE
ton by the person having it in pos
session.
Bartsch in his petition for the return
of the property charged that the wife
had left him only two suits of Sum-
mer clothing and had even taken his
shaving mirror. Attorney Austin F.
Garfield for the wife denied that Mrs.
Bartsch had taken some of the things
alleged by the husband.

the world affairs, when Kosciuszko

making their way across seas so much
wider and more untraveled than they
are now, fought in the ragged regi-
ments of Washington.
The intervening century and a half
have renewed and multiplied past all
count these old relations between the
people Of our two countries. 1t Is
therefore, particularly touching to us
that a ceremony such as this should
take place in Poland. on the ami
versary which stands first in our
calendar.
I'm the name Of the people of the
United States. as in my own, I wish
to give voice to our profound apppre-

ness of the United States because the
United States clearly recognized that
her own welfare was the welfare of all
nations
The man whose memory we honor
today" the mayor declared. illustrated
that attitude in his career, and 1t is
once more illustrated by Herbert Hoover,
who again Is leading the United States
in action for the general welfare"
