CROIX MUNICIPAL TELEPHONE SYSTEM. —_— August, 26th 1919. | Open Letter to Mr. J. R. Mayhew. Siv - I charge you with spreading libel- ous literature against Catholic Priests and against The Catholic Church. Your method is foul and mean and entirely foreign to any one wio has had even elementary training in the qualities that make up a gentleman. Mud-throwing argues a cavse intrinsically weak and it is an insult to an inteiligent man to ask him to accept it 4s an argument. Your method of procedure can never appeal to intelligent, fair-minded men. If you have a cause you deem wvorthy. let it go before the bar of public opiuson on its own merits. Do not strive to establish yourself upon the ruins of other pcople’s characters. There are two courses open to you: Either desist from this coin- tem?tible propaganda or accept my challenge to meet you on a public | platform to debate questions cover- ing the field of Dogmatic Theology, Moral Theology, Hermeneutics, kx- egesis and Kcclestiastical History. Vours tea finish, JOSEPH W. DAILY. Superior of Holy Cross Church. Christiansted. T LEGRAM> ST. CROIX STATION. Ottawa, August 11th. —Embargo on export hides and -ieather to, the Uni- ted States was passed at urgent Insistence of Mr. M¢Fall.

Some | drastic step is necessary in the present | manipualation ¢ our market by foreign | dealérs. Washington, Aug. 11th.—The Foreign Ministers at Japan would return Kia- chow to China but would have to re- tain the Gerraan Pacific islands because no Japanese Govi. could stand without retaining them. ‘‘DidViscount Ish make any further statement regarding disposi- tion of German claims in China,’’ asked M. Borah, Republican. ‘‘No,”’replied Mr. Lansing, ‘‘but you know not that at that time Japan had an understanding with Great Britain for the Japanese control of Kiachow and Viscount Ish concealed it from Mr. Lansing. He said he first heard of secret treaties on the subject between Japan and Great Britain, France, Russia and Italy in February this year at Versailles and he had investizated very thoroughly that these secr2t treaties were never published.”’ Bilerama, Ireland, Aug. 21st.
