Paris, June 2.-An effortSby German
Catholics to communicate with the
French Catholics on peace is revealed
in La Croix by Monsignor Baudrillart
rector of the Catholic Institutes in
Paris. ra-r.
"On May IS last Rt. Monsignor
Baudrillart said, "there was held at Oh
ton meeting of Swiss Catholics with
leaders Of the clerical centers in the
reichstag. They attained the assistance
of Swiss Catholics to confer with en-
tente bishops in the matter Of peace
Others declared themselves sure OF
obtaining the support OF certain
Italian bishops.
The hidden motive, pne true one
which they permitted expression be-
fore their most trusted friends, was
this: Germany is at the end of her
resources and must have peace as soon
as possible"
M. Baudrillart says he rejected the
advances then made and gave his rea-
sons for so doing.
''It is not for Catholics Of any ma
ton any more than for Socialists or
members of any other party" he de-
clared, ito enter in direct or indirect
relations with the enemy still less to
substitute themselves for the lawful
government to discuss peace"

Growing Dissatisfaction In
Germany Over Ruthless
Warfare
ENGLAND FAR
FROM KNEES YET
Government In Publicity
Campaign to Bolster
Confidence
lRv Associated Prasa.l

Copenhagen, via London, June o.
Private advices from Germany tell of
growing dissatisfaction over the con-
duct of the ruthless submarine cam
paign and the absence Of indications
that it has brought the desired peace
nearer to hand.
During their campaign for the unre-
stricted use of the submarines the ad-
vocates of the measure made definite
promises. 1.-TWO or three months" was
the phrase used in regard to the time
it would take to bring England to her
knees. Even though the official propa-
ganda has declared the government
bound itself at no particular time to
bring results the impression that 1t
would take two or three months re-
mains. Grumhlings are now heard that
|although four months have passed
England shows no signs of weakening
but, on the contrary seems determined
to prosecute the war more bitterly
than ever.
Statements that France has been
blighted and will be forced from the
war are not credited. The entry Of the
United States in the war and the rup-
ture of relations between Germany and
the bulk of the neutral world, are now
taken seriously and regarded with
gloom.
Questions have been recently asked
the correspondent by Germans not in
official position as to what would be
the effect in the United States if the
submarine warfare is abandoned. The
government, however, shows no signs
of weakening and is now engaged in
publicity campaign to bolster up the
waning confidence at home and to quiet
neutrals.

Paul, complaints were today filed by
Atty. BENJAMIN Drake with the Fed
eral Trade commission, charging at
tempts by the Minneapolis Chamber

fused to the exchange by elevators
owned by members of the chamber
and that the chamber has refused to
permit market quotations to be fur

1t is also charged that members of
the Chamber of Commerce have cir
culated false and unfair statements
regarding the Equity concern and have
continually harassed and annoyed the
exchange by promoting frivolous law
suits against 1t.
