The Cardinal was very much interested in the affairs of the church in Mexico during the troubulous times in that country and declared that he feared fighting would never cease under the Car ranZa regime. It was largely as result of his efforts that the condi- tion of the clergy and nuns of Mexico was ameliorated.

 In sermon at Baltimore. in 1918, he praised the speech by Lloyd George and said that Germany's war
 
 aims would fail. About the same time he explained Benedict's war pol icy. an article which so pleased the Pope that he ordered it translated and published broadcast. In 1t he asserted sympathy with the Allied aim of winning the war flor per manent peace" To achieve this re- suit he also expressed opposition to cessation of hostilties when Aus tria made fresh overtures.

DYNAMlTINCS0 0F' CITY BUILDINGS, PLANTS CONTINUE.
Order Restored in Hamburg But Anarchy Reigning
 In Central Germany.
INDUSTRIAL REGION HELD
Insurgents Reported in Con- trol of Many Factories in
 Widespread Territory.

BERLIN, March 24. - Order. has been restored in Hamburg, where a Communist revolt that has fired all Germany started yesterday with the seizure of shipyards and municipal buildings and was followed by dyna- hitting of municipal buildings in half a dozen German cities, but disorders are reported increasing in Central Germany.
 Large sections or the industrial re- gions are said to be actually in the hands of insurgents and additional dynamiting of buildings are reported. Prisons have been opened at Mans field and complete anarchy is declared to be reigning at Heststadt, where banks were raided and the populace is fleeing in panic.
 dispatches concerning the great Com Inunist uprising in Germany say the revolt is being financed largely by Russian Soviet gold and that the eff forts of the German authorities to crush it apparently have resulted on ly in the Communists gaining addi- ! tional strength.
 Great ammonia, potash, anthracite coal and copper plants in Middle Germany are threatened the dis patches say.
 Many are reported to have been killed and wounded in fighting be- tween Communists and police at Hamburg Auerbach, Frieburg, Dres- den and elsewhere, but no depend able estimates regarding the number of casualties is available so far
 Dispatches received here today by the London Times from Rome also tell of Communists disorders in Mi Ian, Italy, where bomb explosion is reported to have blown up the Diana theatre, resulting in the killing of twenty persons outright and the woundipg of many others, at least twenty of whom are expected to die.

permit an adequate maintenance of
the properties"
TAKEN To MEAN

This Is taken TO mean n general
comprehensive rate inquiry now in
progress under direction Of the com,
mission. The call Is expected to
come early next year. The report re.
veals that the railroads have dropped
from their payrolls half million EN-.

This has greatly aided the railroads
In making a financial recovery.
