THROUGH HEAD OF JESUITS
French Press Ventilating Policy Be-
hind His Moves.
DEAL TO GUST FRENCH PRIESTS
Main Question at Issue No Longer
Religious, but Political-Ger-
many and the Holy See.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
PARIS, September 22.-The press con-
tinues to call attention to the political as
poets of the decision come to by what the
Petite Republique styles the German pope
and by the Germanophil Jesuits. The jour
nal just mentioned anticipates that the
election of a German as general OF the
Order of Jesuits will perhaps put the
French Catholics on their guard against
papal policy. That policy, it asserts, bears
the stamp, Made in Germany"
The Protestant kaiser, who is master of
the Vatican, has added another trump to
his hand in the person of Father Wernz
His understanding with the Jesuits will Sc
cure the kaiser the support Of the Catholics
at home and enable him to shuttle the cards
at his discretion in France. Spain. Italy.
Austria and wherever else people profess
obedience to the pope.
The Matin practically represents the Jes-
uits as wreckers. who have sought. through
their influence at the Vatican. to render 1t
impossible for the secular clergy in France
to continue to provide for religious worship
in order that their own order may fill the
vacant places.
Jesuits to Improve Opportunity.
1t says that they have already bought or
rented large buildings capable Of being
converted into chapes in many of the rich
est parishes of France. They are now
preparing to take advantage of the papal
Introduction to secure a monopoly Rome
has combined with Berlin to GUST our
French priests from their parishes and to
establish the supremacy of German Jesuit
ism in France The question at issue is
no longer religious, but political Shall We
be masters in our own country or abandon
France to mysterious policy agreed upon
abroad between the pope and the German
emperor"
The Temps. commenting upon the election
of the general of the Jesuts, says it is
principally of interest as a fresh proof of
the agreement which has existed for the
past three years between the Vatican and
| the Protestant German emperor. In a
striking account of the development Of re-
| lations between Germany and the holy see
| the leading French journal dwells upon
| the marked change in the attitude toward
Germany adopted under Plus X, who has
| been at special pains to show his high ap-
probation for the kaiser and his people.
| 1t further points out that Father Wernz
was a member of the commission which
| advised Piux X to relieve the French sepa-
ration law.

TO FRENCH CATHOLICS.
Letter Adopted by the Recent Council
Of Bishops.


PARIS, September 22-The letter to the
Catholics OF France which was adopted by
the recent council of bishops and after hav-
ing been signed by all the prelates was
sent to Rome for the approval of the Vati-
can will be read tomorrow in all pulpits
in France. This action has again brought
and state to the fore.
Cardinal Lecot, archbishop Of Bordeaux.
the virtual leader of the church party, when
questioned as to the attitude the episco
pate would take after the reading Of the
letter, said it would be one of waiting. The
priests would not leave churches until they
were requested by the authorities to do
SO, after which mass would be said in
places which already were being arranged
and semnaries likewise would be trans
ferred to other buildings.
Il personally will leave the palace for a
house rented by me- said Cardinal Lecot
I'VE have appealed to the generosity of the
faithful and have gathered together large
amount of money, which l will distribute
live as best We can. We will be careful
to observe all laws except that of separa-
ton of church and state. That we cannot
accept because it tramples upon the dignity
Of the pope and the bishops not only of
France, but Of the whole world The pope
must look at the question as a whole. He
cannot abdicate his authority for moment
when the church is the object Of attacks.
In other countries, notably Spain, all
eyes are watching to see the outcome of the
struggle between the government and the
Vatican. 1t is impossible for Plus X to
countenance the act which broke off the re-
lations between France and the Vatican,
and since he rejects 1t no arrangement of
the matter Is possible II the government
does not modify its law"
The archbishop of Avignon has decided to
SINS
mary. to which also the students of the
larger seminary will be transferred, so as
to vacate all government property as soon
as possible.

ty, with a view to getting him to raise
money for their needs.
The story, which they told simply. of
their escape from death and the drowning
of their shipmates is particularly pathetic.
They said that the Newbury sailed from
Port Royal, s. c.. September =, for New
York. with cargo and deck load Of lum-

eight days. but on last Monday morning.
when the cook said that they were on

although the waves rolled over this for
many hours, they hung to it until they were

sighted. Fifteen steamers passed them
some OF them SO close that they could see
their rigging, before the Egda came.

him to the front in 1870. The hus-
