Pope Disappr0ves of
D'AnnunziO's Works

Rome, Feb. 2l.--tP)-Writings Of
Gabriel D'Annunzio, poet and SOL
dicr, especially his doctrine Of the
supcrman, are strongly disapproved
Of by Pope Plus.
The Pontiff did not mention the
author by name but, by referring to
the launching Of de luxe edition
Of the poets works and his pub
lished philosophy, he made the OBJ
ject Of his disapproval unmistak-
able.
Recommending to a gathering Of
parish priests and special lenten
preachers that sane and wholesome
reading should be extolled in their
services, the Pope said:
Favored by marvellous gifts
from God for ingenuity and crea-
tive fantasy, it is rare that he has
not left in his work some brutal
traces Of impiety and immortality,
preaching the doctrine of the super
man who leaves morality to insig-
nificant common folk because su-
permen create morality Of their
own which corresponds to their su-
pcrhuman powers"

BRITISH RELIGIOUS
DISPUTE. REOPENS
Revised Prayerbook to Be Is.

Comment on Row.

by the Associated Press,
LONDON, January 20.-The new
prayer book. which has been revised by
the House of Bishops since its rejection
by Commons. will be issued tomorrow,
and controversy within the Church of
England will flare anew
The situation has been complicated
by the publication yesterday of the re-
port on the "Malines conversations
concerning the prospect of union be-
tween the Anglican and Roman Cath
olic Churches. These will undoubtedly
be used by the evangelical opponents
of revision to support their hostility to
what they regard as the tendency of
the Anglo Catholics toward Rome. Al
though the recent papal encyclical
seemed to nullify the advance of the
Anglo-Catholics toward unity, Protcs-
tantS believe further attempts will be
made. and the position, as they view It.,
therefore remains critical.
