Reports from political headquar ters indicate that the Perpetual Candidate expects something more than a look in when nominations for the Presdlency are in order. That Is very good news for the friends of President Wilson, says the New York Advocate. Both parties are still harping on the "preparedness" stilng, utterly oblivious qf the fact that the more it Is being played upon the more hollow and unreal its sound. A moment's reflection will convince any reasonable man that there is no cause for going into hysterics over the undefended state of the country, and no one knows this better than those who seek to make "preparedness" a campaign Issue. That this country is in no danger of invasion has been demon titrated hv the nresent war. Encland possesses the biggest fleet, and has . Al. . ..imIha nm.nl n 4 1. o t all the great nations combined, and yet it took England, with the as sistance of France, threo weeks to land 70,000 men on French soil, just across the twpnty-two mllo ferry. At that rate It would take a whole year for England, Franco and Ger many combined to land a million men in the United States, and in that time twenty millions would have been trained to meet them. That wo should have a big navy to protect our commerce and make our flag respected in foreign ports Is con ceded. Mr. Whitney, the Secretary of the Navy during Cleveland's ad ministration, saw that and prepared for it, but "preparedness" looking to a big military establishment is nothing more than a political cam paign cry to catch the votes of the unthinking and the fools." government of Mexico is able to re lieve them of this work. In any event, the work of these troops will be regarded as finished as soon as Villa's band or bands are known to be broken up." AMERICA. With its last Issue America ob served its seventh birthday. Though still young in years America has taken first place in Catholic Jour- ralism, maintaining "a fearless, un compromising attitude toward every movement and every interest that menaces public morals, threatens American liberties or hampers the spread of Catholicism in this coun try." May its task become lighter with each added year. A. DON'T KNOW TEDDY. HE FAIR TO GERMANY. The Toledo Record places little stock In the stories sent out from London about German atrocities just as ft giv.es little credence to the stories about England that are being circulated from Berlin. In time of war there Is only one objective win. Often it means winning at any cost. We leave our readers to believe as their sympathies suggest. We do try to bo fair. Just now there is be ing circulated some lurid stories about German interference with re ligion in captured territory. While it is probable there are specific cases of interference on the part of cer tain officials, it is unfair to blame Leslie's Magazine, which is a sup porter of the Republican party, throws a sop to the Rough Rider In Its. latest Issue, In which It says "that if a Republican administration is chosen this year Roosevelt will bo appointed Secretary of State and then will bo given the Presidential nomination in 1920. "This is the plan of the Republican leaders, who evidently still don't know their man. Tho man who gets the Republican nomination will have to get It over Roosevelt's dead body and he will not be pacified with tho promise of o Cabinet position. BETWEEN LOVE AND DUTY. COMING EVENTS. VEHDUN. The attack on Verdun has now lasted for eight weeks and its in tensity has not abated perceptibly. The German gains have been slow, but they are constant enough to justify their continuation. It is a tremendous task that they have set themselves. Not since the siege of Port Arthur in tho Russo-Japanese war has there been more determined attack and more stubborn defense. Port Arthur held out for months only to fall eventually. Many Senators feel that there is no pressing need for such legislation as tho immigration bill, which re cently passed tho House. The bill ie on the calendar where It' will not be reached for some time. Its death in committee would not bo mourned. Special Easter editions were is sued by the Buffalo Catholic Union and Times, Denver Catholic Register and the Western Catholic. Each was ot the highest standard and re- tho Imperial Government or the Ger- flect the progress of tho Catholic man consuiuuon. wo nugui as wen press, condemn tho American constitution nnd the whole American people for spasmodic outbreaks of bigotry in this country. For a genuine respect for religion and religious liberty wo find nothing better than tho regula tions issued by Field Marshal von Hindenburg for the schools of Poland. Tho most Important section reads as follows: "The schools are to foster relig ious sentiment; train youth in vlrtuo nnd discipline; promote obedience, industry, truthfulness and unsullied Ideals and develop moral character and manly effort. Tho providing and conducting of religious instruc tion will be In tho hands of tho re spective rcligiqus communities, Evangelical, Catholic, Jewish, under the supervision of the civil govern ment. Wherever religious instruction is not sufficiently provided for by the religious denominations the duty will fall upon the government. In order that the thorough religious tducatlon of youth may be assured." In meditating on tho above the American people may learn a lesson. They certainly need it. Those whom God has blessed with this world's goods should deem it an honor to be a benefactor and contribute liberally to the Easter collection for tho education of young men for the holy priesthood.

According to actual count the fox has been surrounded nine limes, killed twice and wounded once after his first death. Tho situation of our troops, now cut off from the United States by a well-equipped army of Mexicans, la critical iu the extreme. Speculations on the pos sible outcome give rise to unpleasant thoughts. There is at present much perplexity in the popular mind about the real object for which the Ameri can troops were sent into Mexico. In his letter to the American people President Wllspn said: "An adequate force will bo sent at once in pursuit of Villa, with tho single object of capturing him and putting a stop to Ills forays." The official orders sent to Gen .Funston declare; "These troopa will be withdrawn to Ameri can territory a aoon as the de facto The celebration of the feast of St. Paul of tho Cross by the fathers at the Passionist Monastery on the Newburg road has been postponed from April 28 to the Monday follow ing, May 1.
