BY THE NATION
Archbishops Pledge Loyalty of
People and Endorse the
Country's Stand
Baltimore, April 20. The arch
bishops of the United States have ad
dressed a letter to President Wilson
pledging the loyalty of the Catholic
hierarchy, the clergy and people of
that faith in this country to the Presi
dent and the government and accept
ing "whole heartedly and unreserved
ly" the decree of Congrcssi "proclaim
ing this country to be in a state of
war."
The letter, which was adopted by
the archbishops at their annual meet
ing in the Catholic University at
Washington, is signed by all the arch
bishops who were present, eight in
number, the remaining six being un
avoidably absent. It was sent to
the President to-day by Cardinal Gib
bons, chairman of the meeting.
"We stand ready," the prelates
unite in saying, "we and all the flock
committed to cur.keeping, to co-oper
ate in every way possible with • our
President and our national govern
ment. to the end that the great and
holy cause of liberty may triumph and
that our beloved country may emerge
from this hour of test stronger and
nobler than ever."
Rcallirni Sincere Loyalty
The letter follows:
"Mr. President:
"Standing firmly upon our solid
Catholic tradition and history from
the very foundation of this nation, we
reaffirm in this hour of stress and tMal
our most sacred and sincere loyalty
and patriotism toward our country,
our government and our flag.
"Moved to the very depths of our
hearts by the stirring appeal of the
President of the United States and by
the action of our national Congress,
we accept whole heartedly and unre
servedly the decree or that legislative
authority proclaiming this country to
be in a state of war.
"We have prayed that we might be
spared the dire necessity of entering
the conflict. But now that war has
been declared we bow in obedience to
the summons to bear our part in it,
with fidelity, with courage and with
the spirit of sacrifice, which as loyal
citizens we are bound to manifest fori
the defense of the most sacred rights
and the weltare oi' the whole nation.
"Acknowledging gladly the grati
tude we have always felt for the pro
tection of our spiriutual liberty and
the freedom of our Catholic institu
tions under the flag, we pledge our de
votion and our strength in the main
tenance of our country's glorious
leadership in those possessions and
principles which have been America's
proudest boast.
"Inspired neither by hate nor fear,
but by the holy sentiments of truest
patriotic fervor and zeal, we stand
ready, we and all the flock committed
to our keeping, to co-operate in every
way possible with our president and
our national government, to the end
that the great and holy cause of lib
erty may triumph, and that our be
loved country may emerge from this
hour of test stronger and nobler than
ever.
Catholics as One For Nation
"Our people now, as ever, will rise
as one man to serve the nation. Our
priests and consecrated women will
once again as in every rormer trial of
our country, win, by their bravery,
their heroism and their service, new
admiration and approval.
"We are all true Americans, ready
as our age, our ability and our condi
tion permit, to do whatever is in us to
do, for the preservation, the progress
and the triumph of our beloved coun
try.
"May God direct and guide our
President and our government that out
of this trying crisis in our national
life may at length come a closer union
among till the citizens of America, and
that an enduring and blessed peace
may crown the sacrifices which war
Inevitably entails."
U. S. Troopers Return Fire
Across Mexican Border
El Paso, Tex., April 20. Snip,ers
who fired at an American sentry sta
tioned at the viaduct in the suburbs
of this city were fired upon in return
by a squad of United States soldiers
late yesterday. One Mexican was
seen to fall after the volley had been
fired across the border.
The sentry was patrolling his beat
when two shots were fired from en
trenchments on the Mexican side, ac
cording to the official report received
at military headquarters. The sentry
returned the fire and called the mem
bers of his squad. They fired more
than 20 shots across the line.
When Mexican Consul Bravo re
ported the affair to Brigadier General
George Bell, Jr., General Bell inform
ed the Consul that the American
sentry had been fired upon and had
obeyed orders in returning the fire.
"I have ordered the outposts to
shoot to kill when fired upon," said
General Bell later. "I will court
martial a tnan who fires across the
border first, and I also will court
! martial one who fails to return the
I tire when he is fired upon."
Germans Mass Troops For
New Drive on Petrograd
Petrogfad, April 20. German
preparations to attack the northern
front, supported by a German fleet,
reports of which appear to be well
founded, bear out the War Office
warning recently issued that the
enemy means to march on Petrograd.
The preparations consist of the mass
ing of troops on the Dvinsk-Riga front
and the concentrating of transports,
warships and shallow-draft ships in
Baltic Sea ports. A portion of the
German fleet is reported to have
moved from Kiel to Libau.
It is regarded here as extremely
probable that the plan is to cut oft
Petrograd from the active army. Tho
German eltorls to spread discontent
in the Russian army have developed
an ingenious device of loading shells
with copies of Chancellor von Beth
mann-Hollweg's Reichstag speech of
March 29 and firing them into the
Russian lines.
