CATHOLIC CONFLICT.
Pope's Encyclical Directed Against
the Christian Democrats.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
ROME. September 1O.-The conflict be-
tween the Vatican and the most advanced
section of the Catholics, known under the
name of Christian democrats. Is becoming
more acute, as the pope has issued an en-
cyclical especially directed against them,
condemning their movement, tactics and
aspirations. and forbidding, under the gray
est penalties. all members of the clergy
from participating in that association. The
Vatican evidently believed this to be a
master stroke capable of annihilating the
young movement but, on the contrary, 1t
has found new strength after having been
SO attacked. Naturally, the clergy left the
ranks, but the laymen gathered everywhere
voting orders of the day from all parts of
Italy, stating that while ready to bow to
ecclesiastical authorities in all questions re-
latlng TO religion, they consider themselves
entirely independent in political and social
affairs.

May to $50 marks. and In October to 90
marks. touching the low price of 80 marks
