WASHINGTON, April 23.-The pres
ence Of Archbishop Ireland in Europe
at this time led to the efforts among
leading members of the diplomatic
corps here to have the eminent Amerl-
can divine preside at some notable
church occasion. AS a result, 1t is
learned that the Archbishop will deliver
the principal discourse at the Joan of
Arc celebration on May Sth at the old
French town of Orleans, which gave
the name of the Maid of Orleans to the
girl saint and soldier. The exercises
will have both a religious and national
character, bringing pilgrimages from
all parts of Europe and having the spe-
cial beendiction of the Pope. 1t was
thought at first Archbishop Ireland
would take this occasion to correct the
misapprehensions which have arisen
through Europe as to "Americanism"
as set forth in Father Hecker's book.
Quite recently, however, the leading
church authorities in this country have
make known that Archbishop Ireland S
discourse would be confined strictly to
religious themes dealing with the in
spired character of Joan or Arc.
Catholic Church affairs also have
been attracting the attention of diplo-
matte circles of late, in connection with
the attitude of Italy in refusing to take
part in the CZar's disarmament con-
gress if the Pope also was to take part.
Because of this controversy, the invi-
tations issued by the Government at
The Hague were delayed some weeks
and in consequence of Sir Julian
Pauncefote's selection as one of the
British delegates, the State Department
also was in the same quandary until
the controversy was adjusted. It was
finally determined that the Pope would
not be represented, this decision, it is
understood, being acquiesced in by the
Vatican
