LATAPIE'S ARTICLE
DISAVOWED BY POPE
Interview Neither Represents Pom
tif's Ideas Nor Words and Was
Published without Permission.

Paris, July 20, 8 pm An auto
graph letter from Pope Benedict to
Cardinal Annette, archbishop of Paris
contains the following:
I'VE absolutely disavow Latapie,s
article which represents neither our
ideas nor words and was published
without our revision or permission" 7.
The Pope repeats his previous dec
lara ton that his views are to be found
in public official statements and not
in accounts of private conversation.
To make his attitude still clearer, the
Pope enclosed copy of an interview
given by Cardinal Gasparri, Papal
secretary of state to the Corriere in
Rome and the letter of the Cardinal
to the Belgian and British ministers
to the Vatican, the former condemn
ing the invasion of Belgium and
treatment of the clergy and the lat
ter affirming that the Pope never
pronounced against the legality of the
blockade of Germany. k
Pope Benedict's letter was in reply
to a letter from Cardinal Annette, who
said that the Latapie interview HAD
produced a painful impression in
France.
La Liberte of Paris published on.
June /, what was declared an inter
view with Pope Benedict, obtained
by Louis Latapie.
The report was reported IN this ar
ticle as declining to comment on the
invasion of Belgium, on the ground
that it occurred under the Pontificats
Of Plus X. as taking the position.

washington, July 20.-The fire last
night aboard the dreadnaught Okla
homa is believed to have originated in
wooden supports and other infiam-
mable material in the magazine space
between the two forward turrets.
Reports reaching the naval depart

likely a cigarette stub or burning
match had started a SIN oldering fire
which was not discovered until night

Navy officials do not believe there
is anything to indicate the work of an
incendiary either in the fire aboard

Miami Metropolis; How true it is
that "the wicked flee when no man
pursueth,'
We have the spectacle Of liquor ad-
vocaters in Dade county accusing
themselves of planning to bring on q
wet and dry election this fall, and in
the same breath denying it.
And these same interests, known to
be identified with the liquor propa-
ganda, express a doubt whether con-
ditions have been changed in this
county by prohibiting the open saloon.
We assert, and with the facts from
the record to back it, that the question
Of saloons has been settled by the
people Of Miami No doubt exists as
to what they want. The laws are vi
oated. of course, Just as all laws are
violated at times, but under the pres
ent arrangement the one who sur
reptitiously carries on the sale of in
toXicants, whether by bootlegging or
otherwise. is an outlaw, and to that
extent the prohibition law is a sue
cess.
For general information we refer to
six months record of the municipal
court as published in The Metropolis
YESTERDAY. During the six months
ending yesterday only 178 "drunks'
were registered, under "dry" regime
as against a total of 512 durino the
corresponding period of 1913 under
wet" conditions. And, in addition tc
this. the arrests for all cause show {
decrease of fiftv per cent with tbs
