Russia Don't Care for Public

No attempt Is made III ST. Petersburg
to remove the suspicion that the Russian
commanders In Roumena deliberately
procrastinated negotiations Ia order 70
take the greatest possible advantage OF
the military situation. On the contrary
in order to clear the Russian government
of the charge which otherwise might at
tach to IL, that the delays occurred III not
by It's orders, at least with It's connivance
the merit is claimed for IL of having
finally overcome by Its peremptory COM
mands the resistance and unwillingness
Of the army to see the armistice signed
causing IL 10 stop before the very gates
of Constantinople.
A PROFOUND SECRET.
Nothing Is yet known about the line of
demarcation and the other conditions of
the armistice, but according to hints
from Berlin, where the intentions and
aims of Russia have all along been pref
ty accurately foreshadowed, far greater
stress is laid In st. Petersburg on the
military than on the political side Of the
negotiations just concluded, which seems
natural enought, as the military posi-
tlon occupied BY Russia daring the
negotiations for deflnitive peace, cans
not but be of considerable influence on
her political weihgt.
zUssIA's DEFIANr ATTITUDE
Toe fact that considerable reinforce
ments Of Russian troops continue to
stream through Bucharest to Bulgaria;
that besides the operating forces IN Bull
garia Roumania the army Of reserve in
Roumania 10 being steadily increased,
and that the creation or fortv four fresh
battallions to be formed into four new
divisions has just been ordered by the
Czar-all show the Importance attached
to the military attitude to be assum ed
in tho conquered territory du ring the
peace negotiations.
FINAL STIPULATION.
The Czar's speech at the review Of
troops at st. Petersburg on Monday
seems to point In the same direction.
From all this may be taken for granted
that regard for the military position Of
Russia during the coming discussions
has not been lost sight Of in the terms Of
the armistice. According TO . Berlin
telegram 70 the pesIAer Lloyd the passage
Of the Russians through Constantinople
forms part Of the stipulauons, though
this would only be done after the con-
slusisn OF peace and for the purposs Of
embarking part Of the army there on
the way home.

THE PAPAL ABLEGATE-An Important
Mission TO the United Stdtes.-The mission
Of the Right Rev. Dr. Conroy, Bishop of
Ardagh, ireland, to the Dominion of
Canada, to investigate the condition of
the Catholic Church and report to the
Holly See, Is already wellknOwn to most
Catholics in the United States Reliable
information has just been received in
this city from Rome that, owing TO the
satisfactory manner in which the able
gate discharged the onerous duties inn
posed on him, the sphere of his labors is
to be extended to the United States. An
eminent theologian in the archdiocese of
New York states that there Is q strong
probability that DIR. Conroy will remain
in this country legate Of the Holy See,
endowed with all tne powers conferred
on papal nuncios in Catholic countries.
This unexpected action of the Holy See
was, in the opinion ofthe divine referred
to, ''preeipitated by the continual COM
plants sent TO Rome in regard TO difficult
ties between bishops and pastors. The
recent cases in the diocases of Louisville
and Detroit, which were decided in favor
of the appellants, caused no little sohci-
tude in the propaganda regarding church
discipline in this country.
Where the Church is making such rap
i'd strides, As instanced by the large num-
Der of Catholic churches in New York
city alone, and its Catholic population
of 600, 900 any attempt to deprive priests
of the benefit of cannon law, though il
may not technically exist in our mission
AIRY country, cannot fail to be productive
of scandal. To adjust such disputes is the
mission of the ablegate, according TO the
information in my possession.n-N. T.
