:z.popEs, aLLoCTTIoN
Pontiff Declares He Has Beer De-
prived of Liberty of Governing
The Church

Rome, Dec. 8-Pope Benedict, in
his allocution delivered before the
secret consistory Monday, dweit upon
the misfortunes which the war has
brought upon the holy see and refer
-edite his previous complaint that the,
.,ontiff had been deprived of the lib
,rty necessary for the government
Of the church. He said that some OF
the ambassadors and ministers, by
.eason Of such state Of events. had
left the vatican Gin order to protect
their personal dignity and the pre-
negatives of their Office"
"Certainly those who govern Italy
are not wanting in good intentions
| to eliminate the Inconvenience" SAID
the pontiff, ''but this of itself clearly
demonstrates that the position Of the
pontiff is dependent upon the civil
authorities and that with a change Of
men and circumstances, the position
itself might change for the worse"
The following semiofficial COM
munication has been published by
the Italian government respecting the
Pope's allocution:
"The words of the pontiff concern
| ing ambassadors and ministers ac-
credited to the holy see being oblig-
ed to leave in order TO protect their
personal dignity must come from n
exact information given to his holi-
ness.
"The truth is, the representatives
of the central empires, despite the
most explicit and precise assurance
from the Italian government concern
ing the protection Of their personal
safety; rights and privileges granted
by law, insisted upon leaving Rome
Of their own free will"

ernment. presented through Ambassa- dor Gerard, regarding the reopening of the direct cable to the United States was published by the American papers on June IA The American public has thus been given an opportunity to learn of the proposals of the German government with reference to this. i, Germany proposed to pay the en- tire expense of repairing the cable and putting 1t into operation, the President of the United States to he entitled to appoint censors at the American end of the cable in order to supervise all messages transmitted over 1t. You will have noticed that Germany proposed to permit news to be sent over this cable, uncensored, so far as it was unpreih- dicial to the military plan of cam paign.
 England Silent
 "rhe American public has also learned that the British government, for obvious reasons, has taken no TO- tice of these proposals. Great Britain apparently does not want the people of neutral countries to be informed Tn an impartial way on the events of this great war The reasons are not far to seek. That is why at the beginning of war. Great Britain cut the cable. The result was that from the very first udN OIlN noNS NOiulHk AiOlh aoht Siu' could be spread in the neutral coun- tries.
 That is how Great Britain could mould public opinion in a way suiting her own purpose. That is how Amer lea could form a wrong opinion of Cor many's methods of warfare and that is how misunderstandings and a certain i'll feeling against Germany has crept in.
 America has been misnformed about Germany's motives. This would not have been the case had Germany been able to present her case to the Amerl- can public. Do you think that fatr judge would allow one party to prevent his hearing the other? Anyone who knows America, knows that the sense of justice and fair play is predominant In that country We want no mbre than that America shall be able to listen to the German side of the story

SAYS FORREST AND WILSON
 MET IN HOUSE AT CAHABA

Marion and that General Wilson came down from Selma and met him at the old brick house that stood on the banks of the Alabama and Cahaba river and that the interview took place in the front room of the residence then occupied by Col. Thomas Matthews, which We Cahaha peo- pie knew as the old crocheron place"
 This statement is also borne out by Judge George Craig of this city who says he recalls having heard his father men ton these facts.
 Judge Craig was a resident of Cahaba, but at the time this event transpired he was in Mobile. l think, in the army, but of this l am not sure. At all events when he came back home he says his father mentioned this fact to him, and he was surprised to hear that it was ever ques- toned.
 Dr. Jones would not have made this statement if 1t had not been 6 fact. and as he was on General Forrest staff and went with him to Cahaba to meet Gen eral Wilson. l don't think any better evi- denee can be found to suhstantiate my statement.
 In justice to fact and history l would correct the impression that MT. Foster has created as to the correctness of my statement, based not only upon my recol- lection and the recollection of others in Cahaba at the time, but the statement of pr. A W. Jones. who told me he was on General Forests staff. and went with him to Cahaba to meet General Will son and arrange terms of surrender and exchange of prisoners after the battle of Selma. Yours most respectfully,

If she will. We leave it to her to judge.
 "I shall not speak of the advantages that may arise for America out of the German proposal. America knows her own interests best and needs none to speak for her.
 "The reopening of direct cable com. munioations however, would also be of interest to the relations between Germany and the United States. insofar as 1t would help to dissipate misunder- standings in both countries and facili- tate thair intercourse in questions of mutual concern.
 In Interest of Peace
 Surely il is in the interest of peace and humanity which the people of the United States and their government have so much at heart, that the right of free intercourse on the part of neu- trals with the belligerents of both sides should not be tempered with. because only by free and uncontrolled discus sion can misunderstandings which might develop into hostile feelings be cleared up immediately or avoided.
 And then" continued the minister. you must not forget that some day peace will come. The warning nations again have to reach an understanding if they wish to keep that lasting peace for which everyone hopes. Continual misunderstanding between the neutrals and belligerents will only make this more difficult. That may suit Great Britain's purpose. but does she hope to win this war against Germany by a method contrary to the rules of inter- national law and not even justified by military necessity? Thoughts and words are not contraband"
 Tn what way" asked the correspon. dent "have the present negotiations been hampered by the absence of ca. ble communications"
 Think only of the slowness of 1t ell" replied the minister. "Why, we seem to have even to return to the days of the middle ages, when sovereigns had to send special envoys back ana forth between the courts to exchange views and keep. in touch with one an others wishes and attitude"
