Transcription: In the middle of the elections here last March, when I was inundated with complaints from Catholics & Socialists & all the "non-conforming" elements I met the Bishop. He told me with innocent glee that his rooms at Oliva were being repaired and he was occupying a cell in the Convent of the Grey Sisters. He had no telephone & no one knew where he was! I asked him if he could not find another cell for me! But later reflection made me ask myself if a more pugnacious type would not have been more active. (Two or three priests had been arrested about that time). But perhaps it would not have made much dfference.   I have recorded somewhere how Count O'Rourke came in to see me

Transcription: A gentle Christian is how I most often think of him. I am not sure if he is entirely happy in his present diocese - with its always pugnacious clergy & its increasingly bitter politics. Deputations of the P.P.'s have been with me from time to time, & the leader Father Moske, when I on an occasion gentle suggested that the Bishop might be consulted, said, quite openly "Mr. High Commissioner, I must tell you that neither the priests nor the Catholic people have any confidence in their Bishop." I protested mildly & said that in Ireland a Bishop would not be so regarded. Later Fr Moske told me the P.P.'s had written directly to Rome and showed me a copy of a reply which stated that they should of course take all necessary steps, in agreement with the Bishop, to protect Church interests. On another occasion in connection with a petition the Bishop told me he had known nothing about it. It was is true. I think, that the Bishop, as Elsie says, would be happier and more suited to an Irish cathedral or some place where he could look after the poor & the care of souls without the anxieties of a political revolution.

Transcription: 31st Dec. Stewing over my annual report, deploring the staff holidays this week which delay me, and meeting only one deputation - of railwaymen to thank me for Xmas cigars!   Count Edward O'Rourke, Bishop of Danzig, called to see me. There are some notes about him in my papers. I think it was his great - (or only) grandfather who left Ireland and eventually took service with the Czar, winning wealth & high place as a soldier. His descendants were mostly in the Army or Navy, & the family estate in what is now Lithuania. Speaks Polish, Russian, Italian, German & French very well; English not so good & the rumour which (I confess) rather alarmed me before I arrived, that he also spoke Irish, was unfounded. Probably more Polish in feeling than anything else, the Bishop maintains a certain semtimental regard for Ireland, & is proud of his Irish descent. Mathematic problem = if his great- grandfather married a Pole or a Russian & ditto with his grandfather & father, what proportion of Irish blood has he? (This is really a reflection on some of our home "political" arguments).   We like the Bishop very much, & are glad he so often comes to us, socially or as today, on a mixed mission.

Transcription: evoked not only admiration, but also one might also say affection. Last Septr. as President of the Assembly he gave a reception to a thousand guests. In the course of the evening he walked me up and down for twenty minutes talking mostly of Germany and her intentions & the hope of a pacific orientation to her policy.   A couple of years ago (early in 1933) at a dinner I sat beside him. We were talking of the Disarmament Conference & the desirability of a settlement with Germany. I said to him that a country like Germany could not be kept down and that no peace could be built in Europe on a Germany which was kept in a condition of inequality & under the heel. A little to my surprise perhaps he agreed. But he said any geographical changes or proposals would now mean war. I said that it had often seemed to me that the geographical frontiers had been drawn not so much to help the new States as to weaken Germany. He told me bat he was in Paris during the Peace Conference & when he learned the proposals for C.Sl.'s

Description: Ratne bojne dopisnice (Feldpost) bile su najfunkcionalnije sredstvo komuniciranja vojnika sa porodicom tokom Prvog svjetskog rata. Većinom su bile cenzurisane i na njima se nalazio pečat vojne cenzure, regimentalni pečat i pečat vojne pošte. Na velikom broju dopisnica nalazila su se sva tri pečata, međutim, nerijetko se nalazio samo jedan ili dva. Poznato je da su vojnici bili strogo kažnjavani ukoliko su svjesno pisali bilo šta što otkriva vojne tajne. Pisati su mogli samo vojnici. Sve što bi napisali davalo bi se vojnom cenzoru da to pregleda i tek kad on odobri moglo se poslati porodici. Čitajući pisma, može se uvidjeti da su ona poprilično štura, te da su dobro pazili o svemu šta je napisano, upravo iz razloga da bi izbjegli probleme sa nadređenim. Feldpost sistem Austro-ugarske Monarhije, omogućavao je vojnicima da komuniciraju sa svojim najbližima. Sačuvane razglednice i pisma pružaju lični pogled na to kako su pojedini vojnici doživljavali sukobe. || Devet bojnih dopisnica (Feldpost)

Description: Este un volum de jurnal din cele trei deţinute de Biblioteca Judeţeană Octavian Goga Cluj. || Dumitru Nistor, ţăran din satul Năsăud s-a născut în 1893. Visând din copilărie să călătorească şi să vadă ţări străine, în 1912, când vine vremea “număraşului” (recrutării) el cere să fie primit nu în miliţia ardeleană, unde erau recrutaţi de obicei românii, ci în marina austro-ungară. Terminând şcoala de marină, după o călătorie la Viena, este îmbarcat ca Geschützvormeister (“primul îndreptător de tun”) pe vasul SMS Kaiserin Elisabeth, cu destinaţia Asia. Prins de război în Marea Chinei, crucişătorul Kaiserin Elisabeth participă la câteva bătălii navale, pentru ca în 2 noiembrie 1914 să se hotărască scufundarea lui. Echipajul pierde şi lupta terestră, este luat prizonier de japonezi şi transportat în arhipelagul nipon. Timp de zece luni, ţăranul-marinar din Năsăud va fi prizonier într-o mănăstirea buddhistă din Himeji, iar apoi mutat într-un lagăr, construit special pentru prizonierii germani şi austrieci, la Aonogahara, nu departe de Kobe, unde va rămâne până la sfârşitul anului 1919.
