FRENCH CARDINAL ON CONDITIONS Writes FOrcibly on Current Religious Tendencies
 And Their
 Cure. HE SAYS THAT POPE HAS SPOKEN TWICE Much Due to Superficial Character of Re
 ligious Instruc-
 tion.

Paris Sept. S.-Cardinal Richard, archbishop of Paris and head of the Roman Catholic church in France, has addressed letter to the clergy of France in which he comments forcibly on current religious conditions
 Cardinal Richard points out that the pope has spoken twice this year in a vigorous manner on affairs of the church. The first message was his encyclical to the bishops clergy and people of France, condemning the un christian constitution which the anti christian sects wished to impose upon the church in France.
 The second time, the holy father re- proved tic errors of critics and books 'deslgled to penetrate the souls and destroy teachings of the Catholic faith, the perfidious and falacious pretexts Of bringing the church in har- mony with the development of human intelligence and the progress of mod ern science"
 This is the double peril" added the cardinal against which we must guard; the destruction of the chufch and of Christian society, by laws pre- pared by unchristian sects, and the crisis of the soul seduced by the men, dacious exposition of doctrine"
 On the first pef'il the cardinal says he finds happiness in contemplating the complete accord reigning between pope and Bishops and between bishops and Catholic laymen. He exhorts the clergy to fulfil their mission with zea, and apostolic order.
 As for the doctrinal question, Car dinal Richard declares thath if there is "a crisis here it is due to the fact that the religious instruction of to-day is too superficial when not, indeed ut terly worthless. He recommends in this connection, the development of re- ligious instruction in all it's aspects by the use of clarifying comment, by the explanation of the catechism and by special instruction and conference.

VETERANS GATHER FOR ENCAMPMENT Streets of Saratoga in Gala Array to Welcome the
 Grand Army
 Men. GREAT PARADE
 ON WEDNESDAY Washington Will Probably be Fixed Upon for
 Future Gather
 ings.

Saratoga, N. Y, Sept. S.-Amid gaily decorated streets, veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic have been arriving all day for the forty-frst na- tional encampment of the organization which will be held here this week. Fifty thousand veterans are expected. This may be the last encampment held elsewhere than Washington, D. c. At the business session of the organiza- tion a resolution will probably be in- troduced fixing that place as the per- manent meeting place of the organiza- tion hereafter. It is also probable that Within few years the annual encamp- ment will become only meetings of delegates, for the veterans are, 1t was stated by c. A. R. officials tonight, becoming too feeble to attend these meetings in a body and to take part in the annual parade.
 Although the encampment program will not begin until Tuesday, there were many arrivals to-day. Among them were General Robert Bruce Brown of Zanesville, O.. commander in chief: Miss Clara Barton, former pres ident of the National Red Cross oc- ciety; Mrs. John A. Logan, widow of General Logan, and Brigadier General D. D, Wheeler. 1t is expected that Massachusetts will have the largest representation at the encampment with New York state a close second.
 Statistics made public tonight give the membership of the National Grand Army of the Republic as 2O2,O0O Of these the organization loses annually 3 per cent As the average age of the members is 50 years the organization will exist, it Is estimated, for twenty years more.
 At the session of the encampment on Tuesday night Governor Charles E.. Hughes will welcome the veterans on behalf of New York state, and on Wednesday will take place public reception and the great parade.

 land.

 SAME AS LAST YEAR
Formal Publication With held Pending Proposal by Premier
 Bond.

Reid's note reoiting the agreed terms of the modus vivendi is dated Sept. 4th and Sir Edward Grey's reply, while dated Sept. 9th, was not deliv- cred to Ambassador Reid until Satur- day night.
 The modus so arranged is in terms and fact substantial renewal of last years arrangement. It is to continue for this season and until the long standing controversy regarding the fishing question shall be settled by arbitration, unless in the meantime any of it's provisions should be modi- fled by some amicable agreement be- tween the Newfoundland authorities and the American fishermen, not de- rogatory to the right of the United States and acceptable to, the British and the American governments.
 It was practically agreed some three weeks ago that last years modus vi- vendi should be renewed for this sea- son and the fishing vessels at the sug- gestien of MT. Adee left Gloucester for the fishing grounds on that under standing, while Professor Alexander, who has sailed for the Newfoundland coast on the revenue cutter Gresham, has been Instructed to advise tie American fishermen in the same sense as to their rights ana, privileges in the jurisdictional warers of New foundland.
 The formal conclusion and pubiica- ticn of the modus have been deferred, pending consideration of the proposal of the Newfoundland premier, Sir Robert Bond, that opportunity be af- forded for conference between the in- sular authorities and the American fishermen with view to introducing some notifications in the nodus by mutual agreement if the changes could be effected without undue loss so long after preparations for this seasons fishing had been made and the fishing vessels had begun their vdyages. Such notifications are to be considered in a friendly spirit by the two governments and then be adopted if not found to compromise the treaty rights of the United States and accept able to both.
