WAS POPE'S ACT
Plus K Assumes Responsibility
for Causing Split With
France
LEADING TO NIsARD's RECALL
Says He is Acting for the Greatest
Good of the Church as
Whole.

Paris. May 23.-Pope Plus assumes
all responsibility for the diplomatic
rupture between France and the vat
lean. This fact is taken as an indica-
tion of the seriousness of the quarrel
Heretofore it has been assumed that
Cardinal Merry del Val. the papal sec
retary of state, was responsible for
the crisis.
The Rome correspondent of the
Temps says that vatican official cir
cles lay great stress upon the fact
that the pope alone directs the policy
of the holy see.
Cardinals OverruIed.
When Cardinals Nannutelli. Gotti,
Agliardi and Wives Tuto saw the
pope Thursday and Friday, according
to the correspondent. his holiness
fOresadowed the first stage of the
conflict. namely, the recall of ambas-
sador Nisard, which took place Satur-
day night. but he declared so energet-
ically that he was responsible to God
alone for his actions, and was acting
thus for the greatest good of the
church, that the cardinals did not
dare to demonstrate.

Germ to the citizens of the place, put
it was though that, perhaps an eS-
PLANTATION was looked for; and in JUS
tfce to the Greater Fairmont Bapa,

the arrangements of both paid and
lations have been most cordial md
that condition of affairs causes a fe-
greet at our dissolution of intereses.
The opportunity for financial as Tel1
as metropolitan benefit is one that no.
business man OF any progress COLD
afford to ignore; and it was aftert
much consideration that it Vas ae-
cepted. l wish TO thank the people
of the city for their uniform COCA
will and support during my short stay
with them. It is also my earliest ds-
sire that they support and eneo11rase
the successor who may fill the posi-
ton, and TO remember that a goa

encourag gem ent IN order to exist prob
erly. I also wish to publicly thapk
the management Of the band as web

of purpose and help.
