We know and wish to give public appre ciation of the constant effort which our own Government has taken to voice and to advance American prin ciples whenever suitable opportuni ty presented itself. We know of the deep interest of Your Excellency and the other high officials of the Government in the individual cases that have been brought before you and of the measures within legiti mate influence you have taken to ameliorate the condition of Ameri can citizens who have suffered in Mexico from religious persecution. We petition a continuation of those good offices and of your watchful interest. “We write in no spirit of criti cism; nor do we make any unwar ranted demand. We wish to present with every emphasis our grave anx iety concerning the conditions upon the present conduct of the Mexican Government in its persecution of re ligion. “We need not.add that we possess nothing but sympathy and love for the Mexican people. We rejoice in their national aspirations, in their every effort to promote their econ- nomic and social betterment, their union and development as a nation. But conscious of the growing impor tance of the problem to ourselves as a nation, we submit our mind to you, confident that you will do all in your power to aid in the solution of this problem. And our own -efforts will continue to be directed to the end that the same principles that have resulted in the blessings of freedom to us may be accepted by other nations, and thus one further bond of common life be sealed among the peoples of this Western hemisphere. “With sentiments of deep esteem. “Respectfully yours, “EDWARD J.

KELLOGG.” American Protestant Lauds Irish Catholic Hospitality (By N. C. W. C. News Service) Dublin—An English publishing firm has just produced a book called “'Hie Bible in Ireland”, liy Mrs. Asenath Nicholson of New York. The writer, an American Protestant, details what she found during two prolonged walking-tours in Ireland in the days of (TGonnel and Father Matthew, and what she has to say is a monument to the hospitality of the poorest classes of Irish coun try people of that day. Mrs. Nicholscn’s first tour was one of investigation simply, and her second was in her capacity as a Pro testant Missionary to distribute the Bible. She went on foot. She slept in the cabins of the poor, where, in those days, the pigs were housed in doors. She also spent nights in cross-road public houses. She ate the ordinary food of the peasantry, which on many days was nothing but potatoes and salt. Though she explained to the peasants that she was a Protestant, they accepted her as one of themselves, considering her a sort pf pilgrim tramping the country from religions notives. Mrs. Nicholson emphasizes the fact that the Catholic priests were in more intimate touch with the peo ple than were the ministers of her own church. She repeatdly received hospitality from the priests, and pays a generous tribute to their tol erance. She made an especial study of the drink problem and of the means taken in Ireland to combat it. The most successful measures were those adopted by Father Matthew’, of whom she savs: “He has wiped more tears from the face of woman than any other being on the globe.” American College at Rome Alumni Select Officers (By N.
