all rights and privileges, human and

redemption except through illegality. a

PARIS, Nov. 10--Peacc has been
signed at last between the parties IN
a theater war which had been going
on for years. The Athenee and the
Folies Dramatiques are no longer un-

Authors has raised the excommunica-
houses and all who had anything to
do with them. Three playwrlghts, who

been taken back to the bosom of the
motherly society, losing seniority. how
ever. The rights of the quarrel. which
1t would just be possible to outline in
a thick legal volume, illustrates the
unique position held by French dra-
matte authors. The main issue was
the determined and, as 1t has proven,
successful opposition made by the So
ciety against a real or alleged attempt
on the part of two managers to control
between them number of Paris the
aters. In England and America. Of
course. most leading managers hold
more than one theater. The French
society has never allowed an infringe

managers of the Athenee and Folles
Dramatiques, who had also acquired
the eventual leases of the Varieties
and Palais Royal. AnS member sup
plying a play to these managers was
instantly elected from the society.
Only three authors rebelled and were
therefore expelled from the society.
The strange consequence was that the
offending managers and the three re-
belllous authors were thus linked to-
gether forever. The former could Sc
cure plays from no other writer, and
the latter could sell plays to no other
managers. The society was now van
quished. The offending managers agree
to make no attempt at controlling
more than one theater each. and the
society purchases the leases of the
Varieties and the Palais Royal. The
three rebellious authors are taken back
into the fold, being punished by for
feiture of their pension dues up to
date. Thus the settlement finally es-
tablishes the omnipotence of the
French Society of Dramatic Authors.
The latter now controls by contracts
every single theater in France, draws
royalties on every single performance,
even of works of which the copyright
has long since elapsed, and even in
the case of plays whose authors might

ROME, Nov. l0.--The pope is grow
ing to lean more and more on his two
Spanish advisers In the Curia-Cardinal
Merry del Val, the secretary of state
of the Vatican, and Cardinal Wives y
Tuto. In a few days time the latter
will, at the request of the pope, leave
his modest dwelling In the convent Of
the Capuchins and take up his resi-
dence in the Palazzo Altempo, near the
Saint Angelo bridge. The Palazzo AL
tempo was sold by the Duca de Galleses
to Leo XIII. who offered it to the
Spanish bishops for their seminary.
The duke reserved for himself during
his lifetime the use of the large suite
of apartments he occupied on the first
floor. On his death "a few months ago
this became free, and Plus X expressed
the wish to see them occupied by the
Cardinal Wives v Tuto. The Spanish
bishops FASTENED to give way to the
desire of the pope by putting the
apartments at the disposal of the car
dinal free of charge.
Like the pope, Cardinal Wives v Tuto
is a. conservative of the conservatives.
He has published a series of works on
theology of the most conservative
character. His latest was dissertation
on the pater noster. The pope. with
whom he is in perfect communion of
ideas. listens to his counsels and sell
dom does anything without consulting
him.
The intimate counselors Of the pope
are therefore two Spaniards of the
most conservative views. The secre-
tary of state. Cardinal Merry del Val.
may be called the "Eminence Rouge"
of the pope, while the Capuchin Wives
Tuto is his Eminence Griese, as he
still wears the color of his order, but
his influence is really greater than was
that of Father Joseph over Richelieu
That his holiness Plus X Is partic-
ularly interested in the fate and future
of Italian emigrants to the United
States has recently been made evident.
He desires to hear of the condition of
those who leave Italy to become res.

it not been for the mischievous incite-
