Has Berlin Adopted New
Policy? Paper Asks

ZURICH, March 19.-Contrasting
the utterances of Field Marshal Won
lIindenburg and General Won Luden-
dorff with the speech made in the
Reichstag late in February by Chanccl-
lor Won Hertling, the "Arbeiter lei
tung,' the Socialist organ Of Vienna,
asks whether the latest Berlin confer
cnce led to the adoption of new pol
icy. The paper argues that neither
France nor Great Britain will accent a
weak peace, and says the peace which
Count Czernin, the Austro- Hungarian
Foreign Secretary, promised and
doubtiessly honestly desires is now
scotfed at everywhere as weak peace
offer.
Nothing more, the paper adds, is
heard OF Count Czernin's offer to
President Wilson to enter into nero
tations. 1t continues:
Count Czernn has become quite
dumb and modest, while the greatest
decisions are being taken in Berlin.

He suggested that upon completion OF
such an agreement Germany be invited
to pledge adherence to the principles

AS penalty for refusal, Senator
Owen proposed that Germany shoulc
be subjecte to economic isolation fol
five years. For every thirty days II
which she failed to accept the plans az
additional penalty of one years isola
ton would be imposed.
This would bring German mer
chants and manufacturers to bank
ruptcy," said Senator Owen, in explain
ING his plan. "It would hit them II
their most tender spot"
As the chief principles to be accept
ed by the nations forming the League
the Oklahoma Senator proposed rlgh
of self determination of nations an
self-government of peoples, terrltorla
integrity for every nation, freedom o
the seas in fact as we'll as in theory
and disarmament after the war con
sistent with internal needs.
In the proposed economic isolation o

Petrograd to Fall

TStuf COrresU0ndenceI

WASHINGTON, March 20.--A cable
sador Francis. at Vologda, states that
Roger C. Tredwell, American Consul at
Petrograd, has informed him there is
every evidence that there will be a
German commission in control Of
PetrograA within week and that the
Germans will have an army. at the
capital also. The dispatch was dated
March IS.
1t is understood that the American
Consulate at Petrograd has been turned
over to the care Of the Norwegian
Vice Consulate, and that Mr.. Tredwell
will Join Ambassador Francis at Vo-
logda and there await instructions from
Washington. 1t is not believed that
occupation by German troops Of Petro-
grad will Immediately affect the con-
cis at Vologda.
Leon Trotzky, formerly Bolshevik
Foreign Minister, is now in control of
Pctrograd in the capacity of head of
the commune. Despite his professed
opposition to the terms of peace
granted by the Central Powers, it is
thought that he will not retire from the
F! city upon the advance of the Germans
to take possession Of it, unless his per-
( sonal safety is threatened.
1t is thought by officials here to be
too early to judge of the effect Of the
Russo-Teutonic peace upon the Rus
1 sian people generally. It is not ex.
pected that there will be early armed
resistance, except in isolated spots, n:
the Bolsheviki destroyed the army be
fore peace was concluded, and since
that time the invaders have captured

materials.
There is n belief, however, from tn,

Cardinal Gibbons's Article

In the article mentioned. published
by "Americn," a Catholic weekly Of New
York City, on February 21, last, Car
dinal Gibbons called the papal peace
note of August /, 1915, "a monument
to the universal affection, the prudent
diplomacy and the strict impartiality
of the Vicar of Christ"
Although the note had been misun-
derstood, the Cardinal said, unless he
was much mistaken, "when the peace
congress assemblies the final verdict
of the nations will be based on the
general principles pointed out by the
Holy Father"
He declared that the Pope had con-
stantly been issuing words of warn
ing, appeals for prisoners or war suf-
fercrs and protests against the horrors
Of the struggle. 1t had often been
said the Pope had never spoken a word
for Belgium. This, the Cardinal con-
in which His Holiness had expressed
Belgium. These expressions caused
the "Hamburger Fremdenblatt" to say,
the Cardinal quoted, "The one bellig-
crent power against which the Vatican
has spoken is Germany" and both King
Albert and Cardinal MERCER thanked
him profusely.
The Pope also protested against Rus
sian mistreatment Of Catholics in the
/ invasion of East Prussia and Galicia
| the Cardinal said. He added:
"His conduct toward the Italian gov
crnment has been marked by such a
spirit of concilation, justice and abso-
lutte impartiality that high govern
ment officials have praised him."

He Orders Cardinals Essay
Translated and Published
Broadcast
No Consistory Planned
Pope Denies He Will Call
Meeting Before Peace
Is Declared

ROME, March 2o.-Monsignor Ger
ctti, Assistant Papal Secretary OF
State, has submitted to Pope Benedict
an article written by Cardinal GIBBONS
on "The War Policy Of the Pope.
After reading it the Pope expressed his
approval of the article and mis- appre-
ciation of the clear and exhaustive
manner in which Cardinal Gibbons had
explained the attitude Of the Holy See
during the war and pointed out the IN
Vulnerable ways in which the Pope had
striven to alleviate the sufferings and
sorrows of the struggle and his untir-
ing efforts in the cause of order, civil
ization and peace.
The Pope ordered that the article be
translated and widely published, con-
sidering it to be the most able cXposi-
tion that has been given of the cir
cumstances Of his unique and difficult
position.
No Consistory Before Peace
"Thcre will be no consistory until
the war is over" Pope Benedict said
to-day upon hearing that the report
had been published that he intended
to call a consistory shortly
The last consistory occurred after
the beginning of the war, but it was
before Italy's participation in the con
fict and at time when the creation
of q German cardinal was possible.
Now, however, despite the most loya
efforts of the Italian government te
carry out the spirit as we'll as the let
ter of the law guaranteeing the papa
status, it is considered that the hold
ing Of a consistory might prove al
embarrassment, especially as the Pom
tiff feels that he must announce in tht
next consistory the creation of two
cardinals, one of whom is n German
and the other an Austrian. Neither o
these could very well come to ROM
to receive the red hat, nor would it b,
an easy matter to send them the ms G
MIA by paper delegates.
