To Trace Senders
Of Peace Prayers
Catholics Urged to Turn Over
All They Receive to
Secret Service

New York Catholics were urged by
Ccnde B. Pallen, editor of 1.-THE Catho-
lie Encyclopedia" yesterday to turn
over to Federal authorities all chain
letters they received asking prayer for
peace.
This, he said, would be the surest
wav to stamp cut peace propaganda
which, apparently, Germany is seeking
70 spread in this country under the
cloak Of the Catholic Church.
The spread of peace chain prayers
in Italy caused Cardinal Gasparri, Pa
pal Secretary of State, 10 issue a state
ment emphasizing the fact that the
Church disappToved of the chain pray
crs. New York Church officials are on
the lookout for such letters here, and
every attempt will be made to stop
them. Thousands are SAID to have
been circulated here.
Germany right now wants peace
very badly" said Mr.. Pallen. "Catho-
lies should lose no time in turning
chain prayer letters over to the gov
ornment Secret Service men. The Sc
oret Service may be able to trace back
a few and get at the root of the evil"
America" the Catholic weekly, will
publish an editorial next week on Car
dinal Gasparri's announcement of the
chain prayers, and his attending state
ment that the Catholic Church is for
cnly a "just Christian ard lasting
peace" This editorial will serve to
inform Catholics officially that the
Church does not countenance the chain
PRAYERS.

B. & 0. Telegraphers'
Strike Seems Near

While attempts are being made to
prevent the threatened strike of teleg-
raphers on the Baltimore e. Ohio
Railroad by placing the controversy
before the Board of Mediation, it was
learned here yesterday that a circular
under date Of November 81 was issued
from the National Hotel in Washing
ton, which said in part:
"A strike is hereby authorized and
will be set in motion by a circular let
ter which il is expected will soon fol-
low this letter of instruction" The
last paragraph said: There is not a
sufficient number Of capable and efficient
men in the United States to take your
places and run this railroad. There
fore, if you stand true TO your obliga-
ton and do as other union men expect
you TO do. this enterprise will succeed"
II. p. Perham, national president Of
the telegraphers' union, who was in the
Continental Hotel in this city yester-
day, refused 10 discuss the demands
Of the Baltimore & Ohio telegraphers
on the ground that their case was still
before the Board OF Mediation. He
said he expected to 20 TO Washington
next Monday, when he thought some
thing definite might be made public as
TO what action viii be taken.

German foreign policy, and said he had
in his possession a copy of treaty
signed by DR.. Alfred Zimmerman, for

If it had been drawn up and signed

have been equivalent to high treason.

element, especially in view Of his offer
to read the treaty in open session. The
president Of the chamber asked TO see

ing declarations:
IL have not discovered anything in
the document which would incriminate
German diplomacy or could be con-
strued as not permissible. am unable
to vouch for the commences OF the
treaty, and contine myself to stating
that the document concerns a treaty

directed against a power which is at

Wilson May Reply to
LansdoWne, Is Belief
[Stof Correspondence

WASHINGTON. Nov, so sensa-
ton was created here to-day by the
statement Of the Marquis Of Lansdowne
urging restatement Of the Allies war
aims and an effort to negotiate peace,
by inference insinuating that the
knockout" policy Of Premier Lloyd
George cannot be realized, or. il it is,
that il will be too late to serve the best
interests either Of the Allies or of the
world.
Various views were expressed, but
nowhere was there any disposition 20
belittle the Importance and the signit-
canoe Of the British statesman's dec
laration. and il was suggested in high
quarter that President Wilson himself
without referring specifically to it, may
reply 10 Il at an early date.
Apprehension was expressed in well
informed quarters that Lansdowne's
statement is the signal for the opening
OF Eight TO the finish" with Lloyd
George. In diplomatic circles friendly
TO Lloyd George 1t was believed that
the chief motives prompting Lans-
downe to declare his mind were politi-
Gal. his hostility to Lloyd George.
