PAPAL ENCYCLICAL FAILS
Agitation Continues Against Mod
ernism Among Roman Catholics.
corded Or. SchrocrS, Professor of
Theology nj Bonn University.

London. Nov. LIT becomes every day
more evident IN Germany At least. that
the Papal Encycl;cdl against Modern
ism has failed 20 stihe agitation among
Roman Catholics.
Fresh fuel is now added TO the excite
ment already aroused by the treatment
accorded to DR.. Schroers. professor of
Roman Catholic Theology ut Bonn Uni
versity.
Dr. Schroers is anything but an heret-
zeal revolutionary, and difficulty would
be experienced in tracing in his writings
the slightest transgreSsion against the
dogInas Of his church. He has. how
ever. published 4 pamphlet On the church
and science. in which he explains clearly
how the independence Of the Roman
Catholic theological faculties IS curbed.
and how tie faculties are prevented from
educating students 10 think for them
selves in scientific matters.
In a recent letter OF protest addressed
to the Pope by number of Roman Cath
ole clergy IN Wuertemberg. the follow
ing sentence occurs: Does the Holy
Father not perceive the difficult position
in which his encyclicaI has placed an
our professors who teach ROmln Cati.-
Ole theology in the c.atc universities?
OF a truth these are deridcd by their cor
leagues in otSer faculties They are
pointed out as men who are deprived Of
al free movement in the investigation OF
truth, and who are surrounded on all
sides by guardians, watchnien. and cen
s0rs.
This statement is fully borne out by
the case OF Prof. Schroers. whose temer-
ity Is rewarded with an injunction from
the Roman Catholic archbishop of the
diocese prohibiting Roman Catholic stu
dents from attending the course of Ice
lures he is delivering on church history.

Influential local magnates are stated

was shown the ruins as 4 proof OF the

building at the st. Louis Exposition. and

building for private property owners has
been immense.
The entire space covered by about 600
houses torn down for the construction
OF the Central avenue, except the space
actually occupied by the avenue itself,
has been rebuilt with modern buildings.
Most of these have been constructed
with a view to presenting as much face
to the avenue as possible, the result be-
ing a sar ge number of shallow build
ings, many OF irregular shape, but all
making g splendid appearance. The
building along the avenue has been
merely the incentive to building on other
new avenues and in the city generally
A good share Of the structures are Of
stone.
In addition to the buildings being
erected by the federal government, as
noted. the municipality has expended
sums as follows

building. S92S. 900; houses for workmen,
S545, 800; other buildings. $475. 900.
