VATICAN URGED
AGAINST spain
CARLlSTS AND PRETENDERS'
WOULD HAVE SEES SUPPORT
mo SAN SEBASTIAN DEM
ONSTRATiON.

Rome Aug. 6.TThe Carlist party in
Spain and also the adherents of the
pretender who have emigrated or have
been expelled from Spain are urging
the vatican to take a definite stand
upon the suggested rising of the Car
lists during the present crisis. APP
peals have been made to the vatican
to declare whether, i'm case the Car
lists organize a movement to restore
the traditional political and religious
Institutions in their country. they
would have the support of the Holy
See and the Roman Catholic clergy.
Thus far the vatican has avoided
giving an answer. recalling the policy
of the late Pope Leo and Cardinal
Rampolla, who supported the present
Spanish monarchy when the danger
that II would be overthrown by Car
list movement was greater than 1t Il
now.

MICHIGAN PEACH CROP
Fruit Growers Making Preparations
For Marketing Their Products

Ludlngton, Mich, Aug 6.-The an
nual harvest of the Mason county
peach and apple crop has begun In
earnest this week. In spite of early
predictions that the peach crop would
be a failure this year on account of
early frosts, this county will harvest
one of the largest crops in recent
years. that being the opinion of lead
ing fruit men. Farmers who were
loudest i'm their wailings about frost
damage have been obliged to thin their
fruit, so heavily were the trees laden.
Next week will probably see the
heaviest of the early varieties sent to
the Milwaukee and Chicago market.
Apples. however will fall far below
the average crop this season. The
early varieties are now coming i'm for
shipment, but the bulk of these var
ieties will be harvested in a fortnight
