GERMANS BLOCK
VISIT TO POPE
Cardinal Mercier Asked Not to
Come After TeutOn Prelate
Is Stopped.
fBy Gable to The Tribune

Rome, Nov. 20 (dispatch to The Lon
don Daily News") The reason for the
unexpected postponement of Cardinal
Mercier's visit TO Rome, where he has
been summoned by the Pope, Is with
held. Although the visit was semi-otfl
cally announced week ago as imml-
nent, it is doubted now whether it viii
take place at all, as il probably has
been countermanded by the Pope.
member of the Papal encourage
who was asked for an explanation SAID
that when the Pope summoned Cardinal
Mercier to Rome, Cardinal Hartmann,
Archbishop of Cologne, also notltled
the Pope of his intention of coming to
Rome with the double object OF meet
ing Cardinal Mercier and attending
the forthcoming consistory. The Pope
dissuaded the German cardinal from
making the proposed visit. which was
considered inexpedient, since, although
war had not yet been declal ed between
Italy and Germany, notification OF a
state of war between the two countries
might occur at any moment.
Cardinal Hartmann unwillingly
agreed to abandon his visit. Until
that time the German authorities in
Belgium had not opposed Cardinal
Mercier's visit TO Rome, but difficulties
regarding the journey unexpectedly
increased, when Cardinal Hartmann's
visit was abandoned. and the Pope was
compelled to cOuntermand Cardinal
Mercier's visit.

CENSOR OF PEERS
URGED BY DERBY
St. Davids's Attacks on
Staff Called Worthy
of a Spy.

London, Nov. 24.-In a severe de-
nunciation Of freedom of speech, such
as the recent attack of Lord St. Davids
on the British Headquarters Statf, the
Earl Of Derby, in charge OF BRUSH
recruiting, told the Stock Exchange TO-
day that the House Of Lords needs a
censorship.
"The man who gives information 10

mo gentleman" would have made ana

Davids's accusations.
Stung by this vitriolic criticism Loro
st. Davids told the peers TINS aiter,
noon that q wrong construction hau
been placed on his words. when ne
smoke of the visits of women at Head
quarters he only had in mind single
visit at the beginning OF the war; ne
said. He thought it not appropriate
that this great tragedy OF war shouid
be used as q peep show. -,
After his attack on Lord st. Davlds'
Lord Derby turned to Lord RIDDLES
dale's allegation that 1T was common
knowledge that Lieutenant Generai Sir
Charles C. Monro, commander, OF tne
British expedition at the Dardaneiles,
had reported in favor OF ABANDONMENT
of the Dardanelles campaign, Lord
Derby said;
nothing about IL. There must nave
been second traitor to give him In
formation, and we ought to know VINO
he is"
Lord Derby then spoke of recruiting.
He said that he had not come to enlist
recruits from the Stock Exchange, but
to ask the loyal cooperation OF Its MEM
bers.
AT the present moment no man has
a right to say he is indispensable in lis
present employment" continued LORD
Derby. Apart from the numbers we
will get is the moral effect upon our
allies and our enemies in showing
them that the voluntary spirit in Eng
land is as strong as at the beginning
of the war. Every man should go be-
fore a local tribunal, which will deter
mine whether he is Indispensable
Lord Derby asked Tor patience, say
ing that those working under his
scheme were trying to do in six weeks
under the voluntary system what Ger
many had accomplished under con-
scription in forty years: Men. were en-
listing in large numbers, but they
must come in very much larger num-
bers during the next three weeks if the
position Of the voluntary system was
to be made absolutely unassailable..
1--WE are going to win this war, what
ever the cost" Lord Derby added, "but
il is no use making that assertion un-
less every one does his duty at this
crisis"

The Premier is quoted as follows;
Greece is neutral and will remain
neutral in spite of pressure, no mat
ter from what quarter it is applied
Her neutrality, as il affects the Allies
and France in particular, will be OF
such benevolent character that
Greece will never lift finger against
the Allied troops. our friendly atti
tude toward the Allies is shown by
the fact that we have permitted them
10 pass freely through our territory,
which in itself is an infringement on
strict rules of neutrality.
Means War, Says Premier.
To-day we are asked TO give, an
engagement that we will permit the
Allied armies operating in Serbia to
reeross our frontier and use Greek
territory as a base and a field of op-
erations. This would constitute active
cooperation in the war on our part.
II was obliged to answer that such
an event would raise the question OF
application of the convention adopted
at The Hague which permits neutrals

armies, the conversion of their territory

Surgeons Refuse to
Operate on Nose and
Throat Because of Grip

New York, Dec. 30.-Physicians and
surgeons were warned by the New
York Health Department to-day to
delay operations upon the nose and
throat until the epidemic of the grip
now prevailing is ended. DIR. d. Bry
son Delevan. at whose suggestion the
warning was issued. said that physi-
clans learned during the great grip
epidemic of 1895 that nasal oper-
ations could not be successfully per-
formed when such an epidemic was
prevalent
When the grip prevails. any oper-
alton on the nose is apt to be follow
ed by an acute attack of influenza,
although up to the time of the oper-
alton the patient may have shown no
signs of any such trouble said DR..
Delevan.
DR., Samuel q. Shope, ear, eye. nose
and throat specialist of this city, an
nounced when interviewed, that ever
since the epidemic of grip hit the city
he has been consistently refusing to
operate on nose and throat cases. He
said that already this week he has
refused to operate in twentythree
cases.
The mucous membrane OF the
nose and throat is the fort which re-
pels the attacks of the grip germ and
when you operate and cut this mem
brane. you are putting breaches into
this fort and laying yourself open to
immediate attack"
