POPE REJECTS PLAN
HE WILL NOT ACCEPT BRANDS
SCHEME.

ROME February S-The complete text of
the circular Of NJ BRAND French minister
Of pubic education, accompanied by speci-
men formulas which the mayors are in
structed to follow in leasing churches, has
reached the Vatican, where IT is commented
upon follows:
Apart from other considerations 1t ap-
pears to be evident that the French govern
ment intends to oblige the church to accept
one of the two situations which are bound
to result from the formulas of the leases
marked A and b.
According to the former, the mayors are
free not to renew the lease of churches on
a change in parish priests. which means
that the latter vii be subjected to the will
or within of the mayors. Their tenure of the
churches depends upon the arbitrary decis-
Ions of the municipal councils and upon
party strife in small centers.
The Inconvenience lamented under for
mula A can only be, obviated by means of
the formation of associations, which even
IL they are not identical with the worship
associations previously required, will a ways
be such, inasmuch as they do not recognize
the hierarchy. Hence 1t is not acceptable
as 1t has already been condemned by the
pope. Both situations are therefore, unac-
ceptable.''
Attitude of Government.
The Vatican, In conclusion, declares that
the attitude of the government bellies SEEM
ingly the conciliatory nature of NJ. Brands
circular. which is inapplicable to the pres
ent situation. 1t practically constitutes a
fusal of the concessions, prompted by pa
triotism, which We're proposed by the bishops
and accepted by the pope, which offered the
only possible solution of the crisis. Now
public opinion must judge upon which side
the responsibility falls if the conflict con-
tinues.
The foregoing practically means that the
vatican rejects NJ. Brands circular, which
Instead of being acceptance plain and
simple of the bishops proposal is consid-
cred in church circles to be a captious I'M
demand attempt. hidden under an apparent
mask OF Cancellation, to force the church to
accept conditions condemned because they
are against the churchs principles. Instead
OF following the bishops initiative in concil-
lation and simplifying the situation the gov
eminent 1t Is commended has rendered IT
harder.
The Vatican delayed making a pronounce
ment until the text of the circular was thor
oughly examined. 1t is now convinced that
the government is determined to continue
the church war, hence all the concliatory at
temDtS OF the Vatican have been unayail-
ing. 1t is said that no further attempts are
likely to be made unless assurances are
given that the government is genuinely dis
posed To end the conflict.

Why Duss Interfered.

Mr.. Jacobson asserted that Miss True's
testimony went to prove that Duss was in
terested in Maud Muller"
On this point Mr.. Duss testified that he
did suggest to Miss True that she should
not play Maud Muller in the costume of a
swell city lady" but in the dress of a
simple country girl" such as the poet had
described He said that he made this sug
gestion. not because he was financially or
otherwise interested in the production OF
Maud Muller but simply b,\ause his ar
ustic sense received a shock when he learn
ed that the man having charge of staging
Maud Muller proposed to have Augusta
True play the title role in fashionable
gown.
