MUCH WITH FRANCE.
Part of the Church Is Thoroughly Loyal tn
German Interests and Part IL Not
France and Our Pork-The Kaiser and
the Berlin Church.

BERLIN, Sept 2s-Much anxiety Is felt
in Berlin over the attitude OF the clerical
party, which seems TO be divided inSenti-
ment between two factions on thegreat
question of the hour. The attitude of the
Vatican toward the Triple Alliance is the
cause of the difficulty. The section of the
party under Won Schorlcmer Alst and
Count Ballestrem, is thoroughly loyal.
Count Ballestrem soid recently:
If ever an over-bold enemy cross the
GER lan border, we Catholics will stand in
the front Of battle TO defend the greatness
a d unity Of the fatherland, as well as he
monarchy"
On the other hand, the ultra party are
suspected Pl lympathizing too much with
French Catholicism under the influence of
the Vatican H. however war should be
declared, the patriotic sentiment of the
nation would sweep all before it.
