So -- The Motive of Germany is Quite Clear---Ris Holiness Will Probably Communicate a Formal Disavowal of the Interview in the Offi- cial Organ. Milan, April ¥6 The German- American interview with the Pope has aroused bitter indignation at the Papal court, where the statements attributed to Bemedict XV, are open- ly characterized as fantastic and false. The Vatican correspondent of the Corriere della Sera, who enjoys ex- ceptional privileges in obtaining in- formation direct from the Holy See, states that in consequence of the gerious nature of the misrepresenta- tions and the storm of telegraphic in- quiries and protests showered upon the Vatican by Roman Catholic clergy and laity in the United States, Britain and France. His Holiness probably will communicaté a formal disavowal of the interview in the forthcoming issue of the Osservatore Romano, 'The correspondent adds that the declarations alleged to have emanat- ed from the Pope are plaintly m con- tradiction with the marked change unfavorable to the Germanic cause, which for some time past has been apparent in the political attitude of | the Holy See. If Secolo has searched the Vati- can registers in vain for any entry of a private audience accorded Karl von Wiegend. My own information is, however, that the German journal- ist was warmly recommended for such an audience in a note addressed to Cardinal Gasparri, the Papal sec retary, by Baron de Ritter, the Bav- arian minister to the Pope. Very significant, indeed, is the fact that the clerical newspapers subsidized by the Vatican in producing the fext of the alleged interview retransmiti- ed from London and pressed altogether I which urged President Wilson to has ten the dawn of peace by stopping the exportations of munitions of war to the Allies.

Unfortunately the Pope's neutra- list ideas were distorted by the inter- viewer's "asides", and thus the clever German journalist, acting for the German interests in America _ and elsewhere, succeeded in turning the Pope's pacifist intention into the ex- act channel wanted by the Germans in America. 3 His Little Joke.

ONLY ONE PASS HELD IN THE CARPATHIANS CZAR'S ENEMIES, BY THE A Tremendous Battle Line--All Ger Man-Austro Frantic Attacks In Uzsok Region Result In Enormous Losses, Petrograd, April 16. Fighting is now in progress, with more or less intensity, over the whole Russian strategic front, fully one thousand miles in extent. Of the Irreguidr winding line, at present the Russian lines show sharp salient angles to- ward the enemy over a considerable part /of the whole front, from the Baltic Coast to the frontiers of Hes- sarabia. The Germans are attacking more or less on both horns of = the cent moon-shaped battléfront sians. On the northern horn still hold a few miles of cress if Rus- they Russian swamps and are fighting with some _ desperation there. On the other horn, in Bukowina, the fighting is still more stubborn and enterprising, while about Kozipwa and the Uzsok Pass very large German forces are | engaged in trying to turn the tunes of war, The fact that the latter region is the only remaining section of the hundred mile Carpathian front where i the Austro-Germans still hold one pass and some heights explains the prediction of the Germans for this point of attack. If they filnally lose this they can hardly hope to hold on the plains an enemy whom they have been unable to preyent from forcing .the formidable barriers = of | the Carpathians. Supposing' for-a moment the seven | Germany army corps should succeed in winning a final victory at this | point, whither does it lead?
