COMMENT ON ROOTS SPEECH.
German Diplomats Deny That Their
aGovernment Has Any Designs
on South America.

NEW YORK, April 3O.-A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Roots speech relative to
the Monroe doctrine is likely to be pro-
ductive of some diplomatic inquiries at
the state department.
Herr Won HELEN. German ambassa-
dor, is in New York, and in his alb
sence the under officials Of the embassy
are disinclined to talk for publication
about the secretary's remarks.
1t is emphauscaly asserted at the
embassy, however, that there is no in
tention on the part Of Germany to
forcibly enter the Western hemisphere.
Ry the act Of it's representatives at
The Hague. the German government
recognized the Monroe doctrine, and it
does not propose, according to the en-
bassy officials. to violate 1t.
Germany would prefer to keep her
subjects at home" said one Of the at
taches. This is impossible. however,
and many have emigrated to South
America and to Asia Minor, where
they are peacefully developing the
country. 1t has been frequently re-
ported that German colonization in
South America was dangerous to the
United States, but you may be sure
that Germany has no hostile intentions
against this country, and that the emf
grafton Of Germans to South America
is simply in pursuance Of a peaceful
business policy"
1t is said that there are nearly a mil
lion Germans in the southern part of
Brazil. A private letter received from
an American source near where the
German colOnists are established, de-
clares there is no truth in the report
recently published that trouble was
brewing between the Germans and ma
tives.
Those close to Secretary Root say it
is hardly possible that Germany in the
present undeveloped state Of her navy
would like a crisis to be precipitated at
this time. The secretary declined last

A Decision OF The
Pope.

The rapal decision in the dispute
between the Superiors of the Order
of Christian Brothers and the order
in the United States, relative to the
teaching of the classics in the Bro
TIERS American schools, has been
forwarded to Paris.
The utmost secrecy is observed as
regards the substance of the finding.
Even Mgr. Rubustain, the French
Brother Superior of the order, says
he is unaware eff it's purport. 1t is
supposed, however, that the decision
is in confirmation Os Cardinal Sa-
tolli's report recommending the Dru-
dent and gradual suppression of hig-
her teaching in the schools of the
order in the United States.
