The interest manifested in
this encounter was remark-

similar interest in the Cath-

“noble sport", what a wal-
lop would the American Ca-
tholicity carry in both, its
right and left.
The speech of Gettysburgh
evidently seemed not so great
to some of the contempor-
aries. Wrote The Patriot and
Union of nearby Harrisburg,
for instance: “- - We pass
over the silly remarks of the
President; tor the credit of
the nation we are willing that
the veil of oblivion shall be
dropped over them and that
they shall no more be repeat-
ed or thought of.”

On the other hand,- Edward
Everett, the principal speak-
er on that occasion, wrote
to Abraham' Lincoln: “I
should be glad if 1 could
flatter myself that I came
as near to the central idea
of the occasion in two hours
a* you did in two minutes.”

at El C&mpo, or the sher-

that not all the bonus
money will be spent wisely.

In the meantime, the na-
tion did not take this bonus
money out of its own pocket.
It had to borrow it and will
take some time before those
1,600 million dollars of the
veteran bonus are paid.
NEW YORK, June 19. —
The Rev. Charles E. Cough-
lin Friday night indorsed
Representative William Lcm-
ke of North Dakota, who Fri-
day announced the formation
of a new political party and
his candidacy for the presi-
dency.
Tne National Union for So-
cial Justice, Father Cougn-
un said, in indorsing the new
“Union party" which Lemke
said he wouid head was not
departing from previous po-
litical policy.
Congressional candidates,
who had met the demands ox
the union in their political
attitude had been indorsed
without regard to partisan-
ship, he explained.
Lemke announced the new
party in Washington and
proposed a 15-'point program
which Father Cougnlin ap-
proved.
Father Coughlin predicted
the new party would receive
the support of “agriculture,
labor, disappointed Republi-
cans and outraged Demo-
crats, independent merchants
and industrialists, and every
lover of liberty who desires
to eradicate the cancerous
growths from a decadent cap-
italism and avoid the pitfalls
of a red communism."

eign embassies.

panese resulted in the wild-
est speculation among Chin-
ese. Many believed tne Ja-
panese were taking over
Peiping.

Prague, June 20. — Some
18,000 Czechoslovakian “le-

xought on the side of the al-
lies against tne' Austro-Hun-
garian empire during tne
world war, uave offered to
undergo military training a-

Their offer was based on
their expectation that num-

peace treaties might neces-
sitate sudden mobuization for
the defense of the country.

trade circles heard rumors
that the government's pro-
