What threatened 70 be a long and bitter contro-

Cross an order Of priests which is in charge OF the
University Of Notre Dame at Notre Dame mo, and
conducts a college affiliated with the Catholic Uni
versty at Washington. Dr. Zahm has been one
OF the most outspoken advocates In the Roman
Catholic Church of the theory OF evolution
few years ago he issued a book called Evolution
and Dogma" that vas severely criticised In many
quarters The views he set forth. II was declared
by his critics were contrary TO Catholic doctrine.
Recently II became known that a commission OF
cardinals in Rome was examining his work.
decision was expected But now DR. Zahm
himself comes forward In letter, In which ne
asks that his book be withdrawn from sale. Among
wel-informed Roman Catholics here this action Is
regarded as an evidence that the Roman authou-
ties do not approve OF his work on evolution, ana
that he has decided 10 submit TO their Judgment
The Rome correspondent Of The Freeman's Jour-
nal" Of this city furnishes copy OF this letter
Of Dr. Zahm. which was addressed TO one or the
translators OF the work, Alfonso Golea. The letter
Is follows:

the further distribution OF Evolution and Dogma.
and therefore beg OF you TO use all your influence
10 have the book withdrawn from sale You have
probably fOreseen this result and II Will therefore
rauss you no surprise However.
bo1b thank God that we labored only for His
honor and glory in giving the work to the public.
