ROME, November 23.-Although /,
usually has been customary In the
history OF the popes for the Italian
press to wait until pope is dead
before passing upon HIS career as
pontiff, an exception was made in
Plus KS case by reason OF the almos,
universal superstitious belief in Italy
that he would not outlive the ninth
anniversary OF his election as pope
This belief gained unusual credence
during the past year in ItalS owing to
the fact that on August a, 1911, the
eighth anniversary of Pope Plus cleo.
ton, the pontiff, who has been ill for
several weeks but had begun to re.
cover, suffered a sudden relapse and
for several days his life was again
despaired OF. This inauspicious be.
ginning of his ninth year was taken
as the last token that he would not
outlive the year, and as a consequences
all OF the Italian papers had their
vatican experts at once get to work
on reviews Of his pontificate.
When, therefore, Pope Plus failed
to die upon the completion OF his
ninth year in August the papers took
advantage of the occasion to print
the reviews they had prepared and In
this way his holiness discovered that
his pontificate. based on what he has
done during the first nine years. is
classed as that of reactipnary The
clerical press, however, points out
that as the fundamental principle OF
the Catholic church is It's unchange-
ableness, the pope who is most pro-

keeps the church most strictly to its
original ideals and workings. though
from the modern viewpoint he NAV

latter devoted the greater part Of III
time and energy to diplomatic nesda
tiations which he hoped wouIa
strengthen the outer relations OF It'd
church with the various powers d
such an extent as to bring about 4
restoration OF the temporal power d
the church. Pope Plus x announced
that his entire policy would be cns
OF building up and strengthening thS
church from within, following the ony
motto Of ito restore all things ID
Christ" From the motto and poIiey|
it Is conceded by the clerical and
anti-clerical press alike, Pope Pui
has never deviated, leaving his ponti1
ficate to be ciassed as reactionary oil
progressive according to ones point
Of view.
How closely Pope Plus has followed
this policy may be seen from the
fact that when he found music being
used in the churches which he did mol,
consider suitable. instead OF ATTEMPT
ing to provide new music, he order,
ed the restoration OF the old Gregorl
ian chants. His reorganization of the.
central government Of the church was
not a new one but a return to the
government as established by Pope
sixtus Y. His discipline OF the holy
communion was also reversal to-
even more primitive customs Of the,
church.
The fight OF Pope Plus against
modernism or the effort to substan-.
tiate the Bible throughout by sciencsl
was also an effort to keep the church
back on it's original basis, in which
the acceptation of the miraculous was
a fundamental principal. His almost
equally strong fight against 'menism.
or the tendency Of woman to particl'i
pate freely in affairs is also pointed
out as merely an effort to keep the
women of the church on the basis
originally provided for them.
While thus the clerical and anti
clerical press have been more or less
unanimous in setting Pope Plus.

Debs Away From Home.


TERRE HAUTE. Ind, Nov. 23.-
Notice was received at the sheriff.
Office here this evening that United
States marshal would come from In
dianapolis tonight to serve E. v. Debs
with papers in connection with his in
dictment in Girard, Kas. Debs has
been here for few days doing his
editorial work in his local Office, but
he could not be located tonight. He
has jus. returned from Girard where
he attended the funeral OF ]. A. Way
land. editor of the Appeal to Reason,
who committed suicide.
Theodore Debs, brother of 3. v.
Debs. and who acts as the latter's
secretary, said tonight that Eugene v,
Debs was notified four days ago by
Fred D. Warren that the indictments
would be returned today. Theodore
Debs said.
When the first indictments were
returned against the officials of the
Appeal to Reason, there was no in
dictment against E. v. Debs. Those
indictments were based on editorials
in the paper attacking the federal
courts, and the cases we're dismiss.
ed, the judgment being that civil ac-
ton and not criminal action would lie
in the cases. Now suppose the in
dictments have been redrawn to make
criminal action lie. The case looks
like an effort of the government to
bleed the Appeal to Reason to death
by expenses for litigation"
Debs left his home here early this
evening and could not be located, but
his mother said she expected him to
return and that Debs had made no
preparation to leave the city.
Rope Always Handy.

indictment OF Mr.. Debs at this time. :"
said Emil Zeidel, last socialist candi-
date for vice president and former
mayor of Milwaukee, tonight, but
from past experience would say that
this case is similar to others that
have been started during recent

The question of war or peace, how
ever, was regarded by the bes'
judges tonight as depending on the
turn OF a coin. II servia Yields and
the window stays shut, there viii
be peace. II it defies Austria there
will be war. Would Seryia yield? The
chancelloTies did not know.
While the powers prepared for war
and talked peace. the Balkan allies
and Turkey talked peace and fought.
While the Turkish fleet in the Sea
Of Marmora kept the Bulgarians back,
big Turkish force landed at the
southern extremity of the Chatalja
line of forts. Landed, they rushed
the Bulgarians with terrific fury. The
Buigarians fought desperately for an
hour then fell back. leaving the field
covered with dead and wounded.
There was fighting more or less and
mostly at long range all along the
line OF the Chatalja Notifications.
Starving and determined to take
food from the enemy, the Turkish
defenders of Adrianople sailed out
yesterday. fought for half day and
were driven back inside their de-
lenses, beaten. There they continued
TO fight and starve.
The Turks maintained that the
cholera epidemic at the rear OF the
Chataija Notifications was subsiding.
Foreign observers said they could
see no signs Of an Improvement. The
Bulgarians, in new line of positions
several miles back OF the ones they
had previously captured along the
Chatalja front. were believed really
to be stamping out the disease, by
virtue of the higher and healthier
situation of their places of encamp-
ment.
More emissaries from the allies
were on their way to submit to the
Turks more liberai terms for an
armistice pending negotiations for
permanent peace, than those which
the sultan rejected earlier in the
week. Sufficient details were lacking
TO warrant guess whether the new
terms we're of a nature which the
Turks We're likely to accept.
