In discussing little oddities and
pecuharities in connection with the
works of various writer's, and more
especially poets, an official of the
Congressional library recently said:
q was talking with a publisher
not long ago about a new edition Of
Tennyson's poems which he pro
poses to bring out. He showed me
q sample Of the type which he in

"Why, no. Why should II he
asked.
"Because you will have to have

WANT WAR EXHIBIT
Majority Of Members Of Advisory
Committee Of Jamestown Exposition,
Uphold President Of Board in His
PIans-Workins With War and Navy
Department Personally.

Washington, Jan. 11.-President
Tucker, of the Jamestown exposition
board, has received letters and tele-
grams from nearly every one OF the
members Of the advisory committee Of
the great exposition, except those who
signed the protest against the alleged
undue prominence to be given the mil
itary and naval features of the govern
ment exhibit All of these correspon-
dents take exception vigorously to thu
criticism implied in the protest of a
dozen signers to the published state
ment, and as there are hundred
members Of the advisory committee,
the exposition authorities feel they are
privileged to regard the protest as
failing to set out the views of any con-
siderable part of the committee. Tuck
err, meanwhile, is earnestly at work
personally, at the war and navy de-
partment, doing all he can to induce
the officials to hasten arrangements
for the encampment and naval display.

GERMANY ON TRADE
Colonial Director Explains Foundation
Of "WorId Policy" and What It
Meant to Germany When She Had
No Colonies.

No Colonies.
Berlin, Jan. 11-Colonial Director
Dornburg explained the foundation Of
Emperor Williams so-called welt poll
itik" (world policy) this evening at
the convention of the German chamber
of commerce. Laying great stress up
on the colonial enterprise of Germany
and development of her colonies, Dern-
burg said:
"The German colonial question is a
question of the future Of national la
Dor, question of the bread of millions
of industrial workers. and question
of the employment of German capital
in trade, production and navigation"
In the presentation OF facts leading
up to these conclusions Dornburg said
the English-speaking nations Of the
world in the middle of the eighteenth
century, numbered 100000 millions
and the German speaking nations at
the same percent, numbered 20,000,000.
Today 120,000.0O0 spoke English, and
only 70,0O0,O00 spoke German. Germany
had lost her position of relative impor-
tance in the world, because she had no
colonies, and was dependent more than
ever, on other countries for raw ma
terials and food supplies.

POPE ADDRESSES
FRENCH SUBJECTS
Pontif Declares the Church is
Opposed to a Religious
War
SAYS CHURCH WILL FINALLY WIN
pleads for Maintenance of tho Union
With the Holy See, Which French
Government Seeks to Dissolve -
Warns the Faithful to Be Prepared
for Many Trials.

Rome, jan 11.-The Observatore
Romano today published the text of
an encyclical addressed by the pope to
French Catholics. In the document,
addressing the faithful in France was
to comfort them in their suffering.
which he felt deeply. There was, how
ever, great consolation in the fact that
the Catholics of France were united.
The French governments declaration
Of war was not only against the Chrs-
tian faith, but against all spiritual
IDEAS French Catholics must be pre-
pared for all sorts Of trials, but they
were certain Of final victory. This
meant the maintenance of their union
with the holy see which was of the
greatest Importance, as shown by the
efforts of the enemies Of the church to
dissolve the union. Contrary to state
ments made on the subject, the church
did not desire religious war, involv-
ing violent prosecutions. Being
mission of loyalty the church did not
willingly expose herself to war and
prosecutions, as she did not desire to
see her children suffering
Continuing, the encyclical said the
new bill amending the church and sep
aration law OF 1905 was simply, so far
as the ecclesiastical property was con-
cerned, law of contiscation, and In
regard to the exercise Of public wor-
ship it was an anarchical measure, in
Producing arbitrariness and uncertain
ty everywhere. and aggravating the
former law. Therefore the pope con-
demned it. Adversaries of the church
tried to make the holy see responsible
for the present situation, because they
knew their work was not in accord
with the desires of the country.
In conclusion the pope appealed to
the Judgment of history. which. he
acting as it has, did so because it did
not wish to humiliate any trivial offic-
ials or oppose any form of government,
but defended with all its strength the
work of the divine founder of the
church, demanding respect for the
hierarchy and inviolability of it's pro-
perty and liberty" The papacy wished
to remind the world that Man must
concern himself here below with high
er ideals than the occurrence of ev-
ery-day life, and that supreme, inviola-
BILE ioy Of the human soult on earth is
to accomplish it's spiritual duty at all
costs, and thus in spite of all, honor,
