dealing on fascism. Tn the first place l question whether these critics know what Fascism means, and then ask them if they could supply some form of government which could do for Italy and the Italians more than Fascism has done.
 If these gentlemen knew enough history, they would learn that the Western Civilization originated mostly from Italy and Italians and there is little that Italy and Ital- lans are learning from the rest of the world.
 A race that has so many lmmor- tals to its credit and has saved western civilization does not lack the talent required in order to map its destiny. Unfortunately these critics seem to have a lack of con- scientions responsibility in matters of international politics, otherwise, they would direct their tirades to the lnequities of the famous Yer sailles treaty, where honor and self determination of races meant little If these people that have the communistic Spanish question at heart want to be brave, why don't they enroll in the Loyalist army and leave us in peace without throwing things to our faces tha, reveal the hypocrisies of so-called upholders of democracies.
 AS to our problem of the Spanish film, there is no question rt demo- cratic principles involved. We as American citizens, mino!al of the lessons which are still flesh in our minds and which sear heavily iri form of sorrows For those who gave their lives and are still suffering not to mention the uncour able bIl- lions of dollars spent ln the World War, have learned our lesson and the veterans groups are showing a wonderful spirit of loyalty to ..mer- ica and the cause of peace oy up- posing the showing of q film 1T.

of possessing explosives. German authorities asserted that, arrested at Stuttgart last December after arriving from Czechoslovalkia, Hirsch possessed bombs with which he con- fessed he intended to take the life of a high official, rumor, never con- firmed, was that Fuehrer Adolf Hit Ter might be the official.
 At the time of the conviction Hirsch was described as "a stateless Jew" But his case was a strange one. He had never lived in the United States. But his grandfather was a naturalized American. The grandfather returned from the United States to his native Ger many. There his son, Hirsch's father, was born. This son likewise went to the United States and, his citizenship being questioned, was himself Naturalized. He lived at New Castle, Pa. In 1903 he also went back to Germany. But after his conviction, his lawyer ap- preached American authorities and the State Department after investi- gation ruled him an American citizen.
 In Room of Prison
 { Hirsch was executed fin a room Of the prison, not, as is customary, in the courtyard. / ~. {, Orders were given that the body De cremated and sent to Hirsch's parents in Prague, Czechoslovakia, MT. and Mrs Siegfried Hirsch.

The country into which they went has been a honeymooner's heaven for more than a century. Following the shore line of Lake Geneva with it's placid blue water, the Savoy Alps looming on the French side, and terrace after terrace of vine- yards rising thousand feet above their trains on the Swiss side, the train went on through Switzerland
 Between Lausanne and Montreux the honeymooners passed the resi- dences of two rulers even less for tunate than was the Duke. At Vevey culd be seen the villa which Elm peror Halle Selassie of Ethiopia is trying to sell because Swiss author- itieS will not let him live there A few miles on was the villa of former King Amanullah of Afghanistan, who lives quietly at the lakeside with a retinue of relatives and re- tainers who are reported to be ear- ing up his fortune. r
 Through RaOne Valley
 The train advanced through the Rhone Valley.
 The rolling meadows between mountains were speckled with spring flowers, buttercupS. golden buttons, junquils, daisies.
 Ats t. Maurice the mountains be- came sleeper and the valley nar- rover as the train paralleled the slate gray waters of the Rhone. E
 Next were the medieval castles at Sion and Sierre,, and halt at Bri- gue-tfe last in Switzerland before the entrance of 12 mile Simplon tunnel leading to Italy.
 Their route lay then southeast, ward past beautiful Lake Maggiore to Milan, across Italy to Venice on the Adriatic, and up past Udine to Villach, Arnoldstein and their castle.
 The honeymooners were closely guarded from the moment they motored away from the Chateau De Cande at Monts where they were married yesterday. Forty gendarmcs awaited them at Laroche station where they boarded the Orient Ex- press at 12:15 a. m today.
 The Duke delayed the usually on- the-ninute express eight minutes while he checked the baggage.
 The Duchess was pale and biting her lips to conceal her emotion, while the Duke was cheerful. He left the Duchess alone in the motor car for moment while he walked to the train to count the bags and help with them. Then, the Duchess following, along with a maid and their three dogs, they went aboard and walked the length of the train to tehir car.
 In the train, the Duke and Duch- ess locked themselves at once in their compartment.

 By turning these counter attacks into general attack President Aguirre believed he had chance to turn back in rout the national iSt Spanish-Italian army that for two months has sought to break the militiamen'S lines and reach Bilbao key city of the Bay of Biscay coast
 The loyalists made the first of their counter attacks few hours before Mola died. At dawn yester- day they attacked the nationalist positions in the Lemona sector southeast of Bilbao. The first at- tack sent the nationalists back in disorder, official loyalist dispatches said, and the loyalists went on to penetrate tie front to depth of six miles. A nationalist attempt to re- take the ground was repelled with great loss, it was asserted.
 In Good Position
 This victory, according to Basque authorities, put the loyalists in good position to continue their attack eastward toward Amorebieta.
 Diplomatic reaction seemed to substantiate the idea that Mola'S loss was severe one.
 Rome military and political quar- ters said frankly that they were shocked. Italians held Mola in the highest esteem and considered him the ablest military leader in the revolution-adding, automatically, that of course Dictator Francisco Franco was excepted.
 In Berlin, war office ana propa- ganda ministry alike refused com- ment on the probabilities that might arise.

Irish Priest Has Loyal Defender
Waterbury, Conn, June 3, 1897.

WaterDury, Conn,
 June 3, 1897.
 Editor, The Democrat:
 Dear Sir:-
 Seeing the name of Rev. Mi- chael O'Flanagan so prominently displayed in a recent issue of your paper, carried me back in memory to period in Irish his- tory, Q922-1923) when the Catho- lie youth of Ireland were deneid the sacraments of their faith, when even in death the doors cf the Catholic churches, under the jurisdiction of the Irish Catholic bishops, were closed against them, and when no secular Catholic priest dared to attend their burial service. Yes, that period in Irish history when the youth of Catho- lie Ireland were excommuni- cated from the church of their fathers, because they refused to recognize England and her Allies in Ireland, as the rightful rulers of the land of their birth. Who were responsible for those whole sale accommodations in 1922 and 1923? "The Catholic Bishops of Ireland" The same Catholic bishops that suspended the Rev. Michael OFlanagan, because lie too, dared to remain true to the republic proclaimed by Pearse in 1916. But true Irish men and women in the land of their birth or in exile, love and honor Rev. Michael O,Flanagan for what. he is, "A Catholic Priest" and an Irish patriot, and his name shall live in Irish history long after his traducers both clerical and lay will be forgotten. I remain:
 Respectfully yours,
