Denies VATICAN
FAVORS GERMANY
Papal Secretary of State Protests that
Rumors Are Spread to Halt Cath
ole Revival in France.
BY FRANKLIN r. MERRICk.

Paris. Feb. 2o-In an interview with
Cardinal Gasparri. papal secretary of
State, obtained at Rome by Ernest Judel,
managing editor of the Eclair. and pub
lished by that paper today. the cardinal
is quoted as follows. in reference to the
fears expressed by French Catholics that
Pope Benedict and the vatican favor
Germany in the war:
We protest against rumors i'm France
that the Holy See is for Germany and
against France. They are circulated
with the object of sitting the present
Catholic revival in France.
The role of the Holy See in this fright
full war resembles that of a mother
whose children are fighting. The mother
cannot blame one child or another be-
cause thereby she would embittcr the
conflict. Before everything she must beg
her children to be calm and make peace.
The Holy See cannot at this moment
examine the combatants' mutual accusa-
tons or decide which side lies In the
wrong. 1t cries for peace withall its
strength and, unable to prevent the war,
it is trying by all the means in its power
TO render the consequences least pain
full.
only by guarding strictest impartiality
can 1t obtain any results"

NO MILEAGE FOR
CLERKS, SENATE SAYS
Amendment to Appropriation Bill
Killed-Iwo Measures Are
Passed.

The Senate yesterday passed two of
the general appropriation bills, the
sundry civil and the legislative. execu-
tive and judicial coming over from
Friday. The Senate refused to agree
to the House amendment appropriating
a little over 100000 for an agricul-
tural and cotton census.
An amendment was offered by Sena-
tor McCumber to pay the Senate clerks
mileage at the rate of 5 cents mile
each way-just one-fourth the amount
allowed Senators and members as
mileage. But Senator Martin, chair
man of the Appropriation Committee,
made point of order against the
amendment because it proposed new
legislation, and the point was sus-
tanned.
How much would the proposed
amendment add to the expenditures"
inquired Senator Kenyon.
About $4,000" replied Senator Nc
Cumber.
we might cut that sum off the
amount allowed for the proposed
punket to the opening of the Panama
CANAL" observed Mr.. Kenyon
But the Senators decided that while
mileage is a good thing for Senators,

of food in Germany was the information

Mr.. Pyne Ambassador Gerard, Grant
Smith. secretary of the embassy in Wen
ma, another gentleman and myself all
went to the Winter Garden a vaudeville
theater in Berlin. We sat in box and
during the intermission talked together
in low tones in English. German in
the next box remarked in a loud tone
that as long as Germany and England
were at war, German was A good enough
language to talk. Then another German
sitting nearby said: Shut UP. YOU fool.
Then the first one replied even more
loudly that he wouldn't.
MIR. Smith went into the next box to
quiet the man and two Germans and an
usher also went over to him. When the
man heard that 1t was the American
in the box he quoted down.
Mr. Gerard asked that the man be al

INSIDIOUS LOBBY DOES
NOT fight ship BILL
Downey Tells How He Spent $l.776
Which He Raised to Wage Pub
licity for Merchant Marine.

An insidious lobby that had raised and
mailed 1900 circulars. addressed $500
communications to newspaper editors
and written one letter to United States
Senator who had asked for information
was sOtched at yesterdays session Of
the special committee investigating the
pros and cons of the ship-purchase bill
fight.
Wallace Downey, of so Church street,
New York. told the committee of these
activities of the United States Merchant
Marine Association. Mr.. Downey incor-
porated this association last July. but he
told the committee that it had not grown
greatly, and that so far as its activities
and expressions of opinion were con-
cerned he himself is the real association.
Annual memberships in the association
retail for so. while life memberships
bring 800, and his total receipts to date
have been s1.77e.
Less than IL per cent Of this amount
he testified. came from men directly or
Indirectly identified with maritime inter-
ests, and he declared that his asSocis-
ton was not formed to fight the chin
subsidy bill. but, instead, to wage a
publicity campaign in the interests of the
upbuildinG of the merchant marine
Something of fight had been made in
cidentally against the ship purchase leg
islation. but that was merely because h.
regarded that measure as Inirlical to
real merchant marine, and fraught with
grave possibilities of international COM
plica tons.
Mr.. Downey testified that he had not
come TO Washington to lobby against the
bill. and that he did not know of any
organized lobby of shipping or ether in
terests that had opposed it.
Senator Burton, expressed the opinion
that If there had been no more serious
conspiracy in opposition to the ship nur-
chase bill no more serious conspiracy in
opposition to the ship purchase bill the
country was safe
