SAYS DlSESTABLISHME OF
CHURCH IN ITALY is NEAR

Milwaukee, April 2O.-The disestab.
lishment of the Catholic church in
Italy within few years was predicted
by Most Rev. Sebastian G.. Messmer
archbishop of Milwaukee, in an inter.
view here. Everything now, he said,
points to that event. The government
is distinctly unfriendly to the church,
and the church, having no voice in ma
tional matters, is powerless to avert
a condition in Italy that will be but a
repetition of conditions now existing
in France.
Il would not be at all surprised, -
said Archbishop Messmer, to see a
disestablishment of the church in Italy
within a few years. Everything now
points to it. The government is any
thing but friendly to the church and
from late indications I believe that
has already taken place in France. The
government has for years been the
enemy of the church. Catholics in
Italy, by papal decree, are barred from
voting on national questions and there
is no one in the government favorable
to the church.
1T. is true" continued Archbishop
Messmer, in commenting upon Mr..
Wright's statements, that a large
portion of the people of Italy seem to
be drifting away from the church,
many of them into infidelity.
"This is due to two causes: First.
to the fact that in the universities and
other higher institutions freethinkers
are appointed to the professorships and
the works of the so-called German
philosophers, which tend to infidelity,
or at least to denial of Christianity,
are translated into Italian and taught
in these institutions. Thus infidelity
is being sown broadcast among the
upper classes.
"The second reason for the religious
indifference-and here 1 am speaking
only of Southern Europe-is the neg
lect of the clergy to give the people
proper relief in legislation. The peo-
pie are ignorant of the principles of
their religion. They don't understand
it; they have gone to church from
habit and not from principle, and con-
sequently they have drifted away since
the anti-religious sentiment has gone
abroad in the land"

The theater of war is in the NOM,

in the Russian boundary and is thu
traditional kingdom of robber tribos
who boast thousands of fighters
armed with modern implements of war
and organized with semblance of mil.
itary discipline. The robbers had cut
the telegraph wires in order to pre.
vent the mobilization of troops which
Persia is assembling against them.
The Russian expeditionary force now
on Persian soil aggregates 400 Cos.
sacks, a squadron of sharpshooters and
a battery of machine guns. It was in.
tended to send a much larger force
there, but phenomenal rise of the
Aras river hindered the concentration
of refnforcements from Baku and other
points north of there.

MUST Be GOOD nov
PRESIDENT TO HAVE FREE HAND
IN DEALING WITH
CASTRO.
Said Congress Intends to Give Execu-
tive Blanket Authority to Deal with
Venezuela as Circumstances May
Reoujre-Rod Is Now in Pickle.

Washington, April 2O.-FrOm num-
Der of conferences which Chairman
Cullom of the senate committee on
foreign relations has had recently with
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Root, it is now probable that before
the adjournment of the present ses-
sion of congress blanket authority will
be voted to the president to proceed
against Venezuela in such a manner as
future events may require to uphold
the dignity of the United States and
protect the interests of American cit
liens.
A resolution giving such authority
to the president has been drafted by
Senator Cullom and approved by the
president and Secretary Root. 1t pro-
vides in general terms that the presi-
dent shall have the power to deal with
Venezuela in the matter of adjusting
the controversy with that country con-
corning wrongs done to American cit
liens and corporations in Venezuela
by reason of the ill treatment they
have received at the hands of Presi-
dent Castro.
Must Arbitrate Claims.
Under such authority the admins
tration could again demand the sub
mission to arbitration of claims of
American citizens and corporations
against Venezuela. The treaties on
the subject of general arbitration and
the use of force in the recovery of
debts, ratified by the senate in the
last few weeks, obligate the United
States to follow this line of procedure.
If a resolution giving general author
ity to President Roosevelt to proceed
adopted by this congress and in event
Castro should continue in his present
attitude there is no question that the
American government would have the
power to resort to force Furthermore,
the indications are that an aggressive
program would be adopted.
Roosevelt Calls Bluff.
President Roosevelt believes that
Castro is trying to ''bluff' this govern
ment. Secretary Root believes that
the dignity of the diplomatic branch
of the government has been trampled
upon and Senator Cullom and other
members of the foreign relations COM
mittee of the senate believe, to use
the chairman's words, President Cas-
tro needs spanking" Undoubtedly
any plan of procedure agreed upon by
the senate would be followed by the
house.
The senate committee on foreign re-
latiOns will consider the Venezuelan
correspondence which was received in
response to the Lodge resolution when
it meets next Wednesday. It is not
likely that the program suggested will
be completed in time to report on that
day, but everything points to an early
agreement on plan which will give
the administration free hand to act
in such a manner as the situation may
seem to demand.
