TO CATHOLICS
For First Time in Thirty-Five
Years Pastoral Letter is
Sent Out by Cardinal.

Washington. Feb. 14.-For the first
time in thirty y-five years the American
Catholic archbishops and bishops are
issuing pastoral letter to their clergy
and the laity. The letter will be read
in every Catholic church in the United
States Sunday, February p. 1t was
n,.enared by Cardinals Gibbons and o.
Conneu and Rector Thomas ]. Shahan
of the Catholic university.
The letter, the product of the united
thought of the spiritual directors of
the Catholic church in the United
S+o+as has been signed by Cardinal
Gibbons, on his own behalf and in be-
half of all the other members of the
hierarchy.
Cardinal Gibbons is the sole survivor
of the seyenty-six bishops who signed
the Joint pastoral letter issued to the
seven million Catholics of the United
states after the third plenary council
of Baltimore held in 1884.
pisbons and pastors are urging the
Catholic people in every parish to go
70 communion the day the pastoral
Ia+tor is read. to pray for the inten-
+ions of the pope and the bishops and
e.. +be welfare of church and coun-
try.
The pastoral letter written along
lines laid down by the bishops at
their general meeting last September
views the world situation, and insists
+ho+ reconstruction shall proceed on
sound nolicies and not along lines of
exnediency It emphasizes the need OF
iustices and charity and their applica-
tio, m the practical solution of the
nressing problems that confront all
e;viIized nations. The letter will dis
ouss problems of marriage and divorce,
ind,s+rial relations, national condl-
lions and international affairs. 1t lays
stress on education as means of re-
oa,s+ruction and exhibits the power of
Ctr;s+ianity as an absolute necessity
for human welfare.
The active cooperation of American
co+boIics with the country during the
1ror is briefly related. and the letter
axnlains the organization effected by
tba hierarchy of all Catholic agencies
tbrouph the national Catholic war
council. and shows how the organiza
+ion is to be perpetuated in the ma
+ional Catholic welfare council

LANSING AND WILSON
DISAGREED ON MEXICO

Washington, + e b. 14.-H o w
much Mr.. Lansing and the presi-
dent differed on the Mexican
policy never has been fully re-
vealed, but officials who sympa-
thize with Mr. Lansing's views
say that they differed a great
deal 1t has generally been be-
lieved in official circles here that
the sharp notes which Mr.. Lam
sing sent to Carranza in connec
ton with the Jenkins case are
what the president referred to in
his letter to the secretary when
he spoke of the secretary
of state having taken action to
forestall his judgement. 1t is
known however, that Henry
Prather Fletcher, former ambas-
sador to Mexico, who recently
resigned, wrote a letter to the
president, in which he excoriated
the administrations Mexican
policy and the general belief in
the state department is that Mr..
Lansing and Mr.. Fletcher agreed
pretty generally.

HOLLAND WILL
Get new NOTE
Document Concerning Extradi-
tion Conceded More Concii-
iatOry Than First One.
KAISER is RESENTFUL
1t Is Not Believed Dutch Will
Readily Accede to Banish-
ment Former Emperor.

Geneve, Switzerland, Feb. 14.-Vice-
Admiral Won Capelle, former minister
of the Germany navy, whose name
appears among Germans whose extra
dition. is demanded by the allies, ar
rived today at Davos, Switzerland
The Hague, Feb. 14.-Holland prob
ably would not be willing to accede to
a polite request from the allies to put
former Emperor William farther from
the German frontier than he is at
present, it has been learned here, but
would undoubtedly resent any dicta-
ton as to sending him to a Dutch
island or any particular place.
The notes to Germany and Holland
approved yesterday at the meeting of
the supreme council of the allies in
London, constitute an important step
toward conciliation, the Matin be-
Heves.
1t says the note sent to Holland
recognizes the possibility of Hollands
refusal to surrender former Emperor
William on condition his residence is
removed to territory outside of Eu-
rope, the Dutch East Indies for in
stance.
The note sent to Berlin, according
to the Matin, demands extradition only
of Germans charged with the commits
sion of direct crimes and admits the
differences Germany will encounter in
attempting to surrender those whose
responsibility is more distant and gem
eral. The note, however, is asserted to
remark that any leniency shown in
this respect cannot be looked upon as
a precedent which Germany may use
to transgress other clauses of the
Versailles treaty. 1t is pointed out
that this is an isolated case which
shows the conciliatory attitude of the
allies in the interest of European
peace.
Former Emperor Williams disap-
prova1 of the offer recently made by
his son, the former crown prince. to
surrender himself to the allies was so
strong that he made representations to
the Dutch government, according to a
Berlin dispatch quoting report print
ed by the Gazette of that city.
Budapest, Feb. 14.-By the Associat-
ed Press-Circumstantia details have
been revealed of plot by which it is
alleged former Emperor Charles made
a futile attempt to enter Hungary un-
der a false passport and reestablish
himself on the throne.
Documentary evidence said to be in
the hands of the government indicates
that it had been planned for the eX
emperor to cross the Austrian from
! tier under the name of Kasper kovacs,
accompanied by three other persons
whose identity has not been definitely
established Then he was to proclaim
his return with the expectation that
his former subjects would support him,
it is declared.
1t is alleged the plot was arranged
by Colonel Lehar, who has just been
named governor of West Hungary,
and by Minister Benitcky the latter
having attempted, it is asserted. TO
have the passports vised. The Swiss
consul to whom application was made,
however, recognized the photograph of
| the ex- x-emperor it is said, and reported
the matter to the authorities.

Washington. Feb. 14.-Despite eff
forts IN various quarters to prevent the
shipping board from offering for sale
Monday the thirty former German lin
ers, Chairman Payne was proceeding
today with the original plans to re-
ce1ve bids for the vessels. He ex-
planned, however that bids only would
be received and that before accept
ance the results would be laid before
the senate.
The sharp opposition that developed
in the senate yesterday over the pro-
posed sale subsidized after Chairman
Payne had appeared before the SEN
ate commerce committee and outlined
the policy of the board before the dis
posal of the vessels. No action was
taken in the senate to restrain the
shipping board from carrying out it's
program.
The only remaining visible opposi-
ton to the sale of the liners Monday
was an application for an injunction
filed in the District of Columbia su-
preme court by William Randolph
Hearst of New York, in the capacity of
a taxpayer. The court issued an
order for the board to show cause why
a temporary injunction should not be
issued.
