Bishop Hurley Warns
Germans Are MAKING
BOBBY Trap Of Rome
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated FreSs.
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, Mar. Ii
The Most Rev. Joseph P. Hurley,
bishop of the Catholic diocese of st.
Augustine. yesterday charged "our
Nazi enemies" with setting the most
dangerous BOBBY trap of history" in
Rome in an effort to lure the Ameri-
can Army into it.
IF we spring this trap, so cunning
ly prepared by the arch-criminals of
our times" he said in an article ap-
pearing in the Florida Catholic, I'VE
shall destroy not only the city of the
Popes and the capital of Christen-
dom, with all that it holds so sacred
to the Christian heart, but we shall
destroy our own prestige and there
by make a decent peace almost i'm
possible"
Would Alternate Millions.
Bishop Hurley said countless mil
lions in Europe and South America
would turn resolutely" from coun-
try which, despite Christian profess
Sions, used the Prussian plea of mill
tary necessity and dared to raze
the beloved shrines of the Christian
centuries.
Bishop Hurley, who was attached
to the papal secretariat of state in
Vatican City from 1884 to 1910
charged that political considera-
tions largely dictate our campaign
for Rome"
He said the Allied armies already
are in an excellent strategic posi-
ton" in South Italy and that there
could be no question Of saving Amer
ican lives.
Even though the Nazi is holding
Rome with military force" he said,
1--WE would be blamed before the bar
of history If we went in and de-
stroyed the sacred shrines of the
CITY,"
Avoid Booby Trap.
Bishop Hurley said the Nazis want
the Americans to destroy Rome 50
the American influence for good
will be lost.
They know that they have already
lost this war and they are now pre-
pairing for the next" he said. Far
from saving American lives, the de-
struction of Rome may we'll cost us
the loss of countless thousands of
additional lives"
Bishop Hurley concluded his article
with the words:
Rome Is a BOBBY trap set by
Hitler. Shall we be history's fools
and spring it on ourselves?"
