State Department statements by Secretary of State Robert Lansing address fears among American Catholics about General Carranza recognition by President Wilson and other powers. Lansing says the move will not aid atrocities against Mexican church clergy, easing concerns raised by Congressman James A. Gallivan.
The Boston congressman wired President Wilson on October 16 demanding an absolute guarantee that Catholic church property in Mexico be protected and that priests and nuns be safeguarded from abuses by followers of Carranza and Villa. He warned of organizing a congressional movement against recognizing Carranza if demands were not met.
Eliseo Arredondo, Washington representative for General Carranza, conveyed a promise that the Constitutionalist government will respect life property and religious beliefs in Mexico, protecting freedom of worship while preserving public order. Gallivan expresses faith in Wilson and Lansing to secure peace for Mexican Catholics and clergy.

The event featured diverse racial groups in native costumes, banners with political messages, and a strong liberty theme. Mayor Thompson declined to review, while police provided escort alongside parade organizers.
Danvers reports completion of two new St. John's School buildings adding 150 places. The school now competes in equipment with any preparatory school of its size in the country.

Anti-saloon leaders said the demonstration drew an unusually large crowd because saloons were closed, calling it the first such event undertaken without saloon competition and framing it as a peaceful expression in favor of home rule rather than enforcement opposition.
