Danger of Excessive Liberty of Modern
 Thought-Church Unity Urged.

Rome, Dec. 23-The pope this morn ing received the cardinals. who offered him their Christmas greetings. He made long address, during which he condemned the excessive liberty of thought indulged in at the present time. He sharply criticised socialism, agitation for divorce, and hostility be- tween different sections of the church. and urged a union of the Christian churches.
 The church, said the pope, during the course of his remarks Is now con- fronted by difficulties similar to those of earlier times. There were attempts, eyerywhere to make the masses enc mics of the church. The religious or ders were subjected to all kinds of vex- a tious prescriptions and laws were be- ing passed in open defiance of Gods eternal laws,
 Tn his reference to socialism, the pom tiff said the only means of successfully combating it was for Catholics to bearken to and obey the instructions of the church.

GERMANY AND VENEZUELA.
The Rebellion May Delay Proposed
 COercfve Measures.

Berlin, Dec. 23.-The foreign office. while reticent as to Germany's specific plans with regard to Venezuela. and the time of their execution, gives the impression that something will soon be done. The foreign office is watching the uprising in Venezuela under the leadrship of General Luciano Mendoza. If anything serious comes to this revo- lutionary movement Germany will sus- pend action in the matter until it is seen with what party the defacto gov ernment rests.
 The Berlin newspapers continue to publish everything available on this subject. The Berliner Tageblatt sums up Germany's position in the Vene- zuelan matter ill the following words: This new rebellion is of the utmost consequence to our relations with that country. Our position toward the gov ernment of Venezuela would naturally be influenced if everything there goes topsy turvy"
