Cardinal Gibbons Urges
Peace Ahead of League
Advises All Speed in Signing of
Treaty to Stamp Out
Bolshevism
Specinl Corrcanondencn

DpeCldt Correspondence
BALTIMORE, April 3.-Cardinal
Gibbons, who is in New Orleans VISIT
ing his brother John T. Gibbons, in an
interview obtained by "The Baltimore
said:
"The peace treaty is to-day the big
gest and most important task con-
fronting the world. Once the peace
treaty has been signed, then the league
of nations, or any other proposition,
can be taken up. l am of the belief
that the peace treaty should come first
and that the league of nations should
not interfere with it, or in cny way
delay its being signed
"At present, | am not going to make
"a statement on the league of nations
except to say that speed should be
used by the Allies in getting the cove
nant of peace signed. Every days de-
lay is serious, as it strengthens the
position of tho enemy once it gives
him chance to ask for delay on his
part. A. delay also makes for confu-
sion and prolongation of the nego-
tiations and may result in rejection
of some of the terms by the enemy.
The reason | say that the signing
of peace is more important than the
league of nations is because Of the
great unrest now going on in Europe.
Bolshevism is spreading in that coun-
try rapidly and if peace is signed this
could be stamped out. Therefore, |
urge quick and speedy peace for the
entire world, so that everything will
be all right"

Ludwig of Bavaria has found asylum.

Lowenstein," in the Castle of Vaduz,
belonging to Prince Lichtenstcin.
The government of the Tyrolese

they themselves were on the verge of
starvation.
Ludwig. so the story goes, was ac-
companied to Lichtenstein by several
members of his family, whose lives
were considered to be in danger in

was one that he did not feel inclined
to discuss immediately on landing. He
was accompanied by his wife and
daughter, Elizabeth, who will remain
with him during his sojourn in this

1t was his anxiety over the safety
of his family, he said, that caused him

he hoped that for the good OF all peo-
