WEDDING PLANS DISTURB POPE
VATICAN GREATLY REGRETS
PHASE OF WHITE NUPTIALS.
Explains Attitude Of the Church
Over Mixed Marriages, Involv-
ing Celebration of Sacrament.

ROME. April 24.-The Vatican greatly
regrets the difficulties which have arisen
owing to the difference in the religion of
the contracting parties in the Arrange
ments for the wedding of Count Herman
Seherr-Thoss and Miss Muriel White, the
daughter of the American ambassador to
France. Especial regret is expressed
over the attitude Of the ambassador, who
believes that the trouble is due to the
religious Intolerance Of Cardinal kopp,
who refused to grant a dispensation for
the marriage except on condition that the
bridegroom refrain from attending any
other religious ceremony.
Vatican officials declare that Ambas-
sador White is highly thought of here,
and his relations with Cardinal Merry
Del Val. the papal secretary. and Cardi-
nails Satolli, Agliardi and Vannuttelli are
particularly friendly. but they add that
not even the pope himself can grant per-
mission to Catholic prelate to celebrate
a marriage In a Protestant church.
It is pointed out that the federation of
the Catholic Church Is demonstrated by
the fact that dispensations are granted
In the case Of mixed marriages, such as
the one in question, but that it cannot
permit the celebration Of the sacrament
In a non-Catholic church. as by so doing
It would give recognition to 1t as the
true church.

both In Catholic and Protestant churches

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 24.-Rev
Haig Y. Yardumian of this city today re-
ceived the following telegram from Hun
tington Wilson, acting secretary Of state:
1.-The President directs me to acknowl-
edge the telegram of the 18th instant
which you sent on behalf Of the Ar
menian Evangelical Church. The Presi-
dent is much concerned at the situation
in Asia Minor as endangering SO many
innocent lives. The Department of State
is in constant telegraphic correspondence
with the embassy at Constantinople.
Every possible effort is being made to
protect American life and property in the
present disturbance. Foreign vessels are
believed to have already arrived at the
most threatened points. and this govern
ment has sought their assistance for the
protection of any of Its citizens who may
be In jeopardy, and has for the same
purpose ordered American warships to
Turkish waters with all possible dispatch.
1t is earnestly hoped that the presence
of American vessels and the President s

renee of these atrocities may contribute
to the early restoration of order by the
Turkish authorities, seconded by the Eu-
ropean powers who are parties to the
treaty engagement for the protection of

tartan sentiments Of this government are

CONSTANTINOPLE. April 4.-The
sending forward of the advance posts OF
the Saloniki army yesterday afternoon
to within two and one-haf miles of the
palace foreshadowed the attack upon the
city, which began at o'clock this morn
ing. The bridges had been picketed and
small parties Of cavalry had recOnnoiter-
ed the ground.
After desultory firing. just before dawn,
a strong advance was made in e south
west part Of Pera. The attacking forces
spread out in long line and made an as
sault upon the Matchka and Tasch Kis-
CHA barracks, south of the palace. where
they met with stubborn r sistance.
The invaders continued to advance in
three columns with the utmost precision,
and occupied all the points of vantage.
The volunteers from Ghevbeli received
their baptism Of fire from Matchka. They
stood their ground we'll and replied with
steady volleys.
The strength Of the volunteers was
overwhelming. The Matchka garrison soon
surrendered
Garrison Is Silenced.
Almost Immediately the loyal soldiers In
the Tasch Kischla barracks, on the op-
posite hill, opened with deadly fire.
Notwithstanding that many OF them fell,
the Saloniki troops did not hesitate IN
their advance, but moved slowly and
cautiously, bringing up their machine
guns. which eventually resulted in silenc-
ing the garrison.
There were heavy losses on both sides.
While this attack was proceeding
another corps of Saloniki infantry en-
countered a sudden attack from the ar
tillery in the Taxim barracks. These
were only supplied with rifles.
Mukstar Bey, commander of the Salon.
Xxi force, fell dead. Many were killed or
wounded on the first assault
The fighting in the Stamboul quarter
occurred at the porte. where the garri-
son refused to surrender. But after
sharp fusillade it was obliged to hoist
There was stiff fighting at the Iplik
Haneh barracks, where the mutinous ar
who recently arrived from
Tchatalja were quartered.
Perhaps the most remarkable feature
of the attack upon the city was the great
number OF people OF all nationalties, In
Guiding many European women, who
throneed the streets Immediately outside
the zone OF fire. Everybody showed that
confidence had been inspired by the dis
cipline, yalor and friendly courtesy of the
invading troops. particularly the gen.
darmes of Saloniki.
Number Of Dead Unknown.
The number of casualties probably will
never be known. It is estimated far into
the thousands. Around the Taxim bar
racks alone 1t is believed that thousand
or more men fell.
The private houses within the line of
fire suffered greatly.
One of the heaviest losses to the jar
liamentary forces occurred through the
misuse of the white flag by the besieged
Tasch Kischla barracks. For more than
an hour the machine guns of the attack
ing party poured hail of shots into the
garrison. Then the defenders hoisted the
white flag.
Infantry moved forward in the open
and the gun fire was suspended. When

since E. G. Robertson and II. 1. Fisher

these improvements be made, the insur-

the money thus saved would go a long
way toward paying for the original out
lay.

dealt altogether with business, while 9TH
