In connection with this announcement IL
Will be remembered that on July 10th last the

by illness so severe that panic had been
created in the Vatican and the Italian special

casiOn the most strenuous efforts were made
by the representative in Rome of the
United Press TO obtain some authorita-

of the Pope. All information was then
as to-day courteously refused. and the only
satisfaction which can now. as was the case
then, be obtained IS the dry statement that il

LONDON. Sept. THE German maneuvres
in Alsace- Lorraine are not on the same large
scale as those which tho German Kaiser Is
witnessing in Austria. but they are exciting
good deal more interest across the frontier
IN France. where the French are also going
through the eyolutions of mimic war. The
German military display does not attract the
same admiration and attention IA the
French among the surrounding people. The
Alsatans ignore the parade Just as sullenly
az they did twenty years ago when The Ger
mans Just took possession. A Paris cores
pOndent who has visited Alsace says that
there is no genuine change in the attachment
of the people 90 France and that the Ger
mans are looked upon as q foreign garrison.
Both Germans and French are using smoke
less powder. and the old powder appears TO
have been finally discarded, or at least used
only in fighting the sayages of Africa. where
the noise is potent factor in successful COM
bat. The Germans have stood the marching
well. and il is perhaps of some interest. in
view of the troubled condition of European
affairs that long marching.has so fur been the
chief features OF the manUuyres.
