POPE PLEASED WITH VIEWS OF FRENCHJLERGY Attitude of French Press to Peace Pleas "Inexplicable" Says Note, PARIS, Oct 1. The Eclair publishes a letter from Cardinal Gasparri, the papal secretary of state, to Bishop De Gibergues of Valence, concerning the reception accorded the papal note, in which the papal secretary expresses the satisfaction of Pope Benedict at the sentiments of the Catholic clergy of France, which the letter says, "Is all the more agreeable to his holiness since the contrary attitude of the French press In general is inexplicable. If there are nations especially favored in the papal note they are France and Belgium." The letter, which is dated Sept. 10, remarks that France certainly cannot take exception to the first two points of the papal note concerning disarmament and obligatory arbitration, and continues: "As to the damages to be replaced and the outlays for the war, the holy father proposes in the third place as a general principle reciprocal remis

sion. He adds, however, that if in any case particular reasons are opposed to that view, which is verified in the case of Belgium, they can be weighed with Justice and equity." Refers to Statement. The letter then refers to the statement of former Premier Ribot that he is in accord with the provisional government of Russia admitting that in eventual peace negotiations war Indemnities should noi be claimed, but reserving for France the right to require reparation for damages caused by "the malevolence of military commanders outside the necessities of war." The letter adds : "The pontificial note is couched In general terms and does not Include reparation for such damages. But even setting aside the enormous difficulties of establishing with precision in all the sectors of the war the damages caused needlessly by the fault of military commanders it is for France to judge if it is suitable for it even in the hypothesis of victory, to prolong the war, were it only for one year, to require of the enemy reparation for these damages with due account taken cf the losses in money and men and the heaps of ruins in which the war would leave the Belgian and French territory now occupied." Cardinal Gasparri's letter lays stress upon the fact that the papal note desires that French territory be immediately evacuated completely. It then says that the pope does not and could not propose any solution concerning Alsace Lorraine. It adds that the pope expresses hope that France and Germany will examine in a conciliatory spirit the aspirations of people's taking into account what is just and possible. Finally, the letter contends that the pope's note favors France in different points and offends it in none. 50 Lutherans Go to Philomath Church About fifty of St. Paul's Lutheran church members, with their pastor and choir went to Philomath on Sunday afternoon to conduct the first service in a new church built near there. Mrs. William Kienker and Mrs George Bartel sang the offeratory and Miss Elizabeth Hasemeier played the organ A large crowd attended the service. BETWEEN 500 AND 800 AT CHURCH There were between five and six hundred present at the St. Paul's Lutheran Sunday school rally on Sun day morning. An excellent program was rendered. The entire day was full of inspiration. Pritchard Denied Suit For Damages Another victory for the Law and Order league of Hagerstown was proclaimed when the jury in the trial of John Pritchard against William Hoov er for $1,000 damages for alleged in Juries received by Pritchard's son in an automobile accident last July, found for the defendant. .According to several Hagerstown residents, the whole affair was a part of the efforts of certain elements of Hagerstown residents to "bleed" the law abiding citizens of the community. In another case, Pritchard was awarded $20 in a suit for $150 for damages to personal property. Further stir among the factions In Hagerstown is promised to develop as a result of the testimony in both trials of Clarence Stewart, marshal of Hagerstown, who was one of the chief witnesses for'Prichard, who was former marshal of the village, but who was deposed by the league.
