Italian Cannot Take Part in Polities
And Remain In Good Graces
J - — of Church,
(By HENRY WOOD)
Correspondent of the United Press.
Rome, May 16.—The condemnation
by the Holy Congregation of the Index
of a recent Italian religious novel has
served to re-awaken throughout all
Italy a fresh discussion of the peculiar
religious attitude which modern Italy
maintains at the present time.
Although Italy, of course, ranks as a
"Christian" nation, there is perhaps
no other Christian nation in the
world which concerns itself so little
with religion as does the modern
Italian people. This has been brought
about both by the peculiar relations
which exist between the state and
the church in Italy as well as by the
peculiar temperament of the people.
When Italy deprived the Catholic
church of its temporal, sovereignty
over Rome and the Papal States, the
Pope retaliated by forbidding any
Catholic resident of Italy ever -to ex-
ercise the rights of Italian citizenship.
The modern Italian, therefore, being
forced to choose between the state
and the chut ch, being patriotic ar
most to a fault, and having for years
fought to attain political freedom and
unity, aligned himselt with the state
and accepted the enforced abandon-

New York.—Following J. Pierpont
Morgan’s long sojourn in Egypt this
winter, reports have reached this city
that be is negotiating for the purchase
and removal to America of the famous
ruins of the Temple of Philae. The
temple is threatened with destruction,
owing to the rise of the Upper Nile,
as a result of the enlargement of the
Assouan dam. The ancient edifice al-
ready is partly submerged and the
completion of the dam extension prob-
ably will obliterate the entire ruin.
The cost of the work which Mr. Mor-
gan is said to contemplate would be
more than eight million dollars.
The Island of Philae with its tem-
ple of Osiris and Isis was sacrificed to

TWO COLLISIONS -

Berlin, May 15.— For the second
time within little more than a month
there has been an aeroplane collision
on the Johannisthal field. An aviator
named Stieploschek,flying a mono-
plane, was preparing to land after a
short flight when he was momentar-
ily blinded by the sun. An Instant
Inter his machine collided, eighteen

by Lieutenant Zwickau, who had his
sister as a passenger. Both machines
crashed to the ground and were de-
stroyed.

ed several broken ribs and was badly

was split and he was otherwise bruis-

• Naturally, In this emergency, the

Into the breach, and opening church
es and missions in Italy endeavored
to supply they modern Italian with a
religion that would not conflict with

- However, born and nurtured in the
cold nations of the north, was entire-
ly too cold and colorless to appeal to
the warm, imaginative temperament
of the Italian and so modern Italy has
' proceeded to forget all about religion
and to get along, apparently, very
nicely without it.
On the other hand there remain al
ways those religious enthusiasts who
feel deeply this lack in modern Ital-
ian life and who seek constantly to
remedy it. Realizing that the Cath-
olic religion is the only one that has
in it the elements necessary wo ap-
- peal to the Italian temperament, they
seek constantly to bring about those
reforms in' the Catholic church that
would make, it possible for Italy to
return to the fold. Unfortunately, for
these, one of the basic principles of
the Catholic church, is that it is not
only immutable, unchangable but
that it must always remain so. As a
consequence, when the efforts of these
enthusiasts to return the church take
the form of writing books, it is nearly
always a foregone conclusion that the
book will meet with condemnation at
the hands of the Holy Congregation
of the Index, this condemnation for-
bidding any Catholic from reading the
book.

The “Karl May Association" has
just been formed here with the avow,

Karl May, who died on April 1st near
Dresden, was for many years the hero
of Young Germany. His most popular

adhorent to that faction of the Cath-
olic Church at the present time which
believes that the teachings and prin-

title of Peter II and proceeds at once
to bring about those reforms which
the author evidently believes would
make the Catholic church acceptable
again to the modern Italian. Peter II
at once makes peace with King Vic-
tor Emanuel—Italy, incidentally, by
that time having become a thorough-
ly socialistic government—gives mup
his residence in the Vatican and goes
to Castel Gondolfo, the former sum-
mer residence of the Popes near
Rome, thus .ending for all time to.
come the Vatican-Quirinal question.
At Castel Gondolfo Peter II. at once
brings about another one of the great
reforms ardently desired by modern
Italy, namely the banishment of wil
the religious orders of monks except
the Franciscans and the Benedictines.
The former he orders to serve only as
foreign missionaries and the latter are
retained to take charge of the Vatican
and other church property at Rome.
Peter II also begins the preaching of
a new religion— a religion of love—
to which he converts nearly the en-
tire world, including the anarchists,
the socialists and the freemasons.
Naturally there 1s an element of
romance in the story which culmi-
nates when a pagan lady, with an in-
come of 50,000,000 lire a year, whom
the Pope has converted to the new re

I As is ever the case in Italy, the
limovich of Antivari gave the first op-
portunity for such an advancement,
and the -fact that Pope Plus, knowing
Queen Elena's desire, hastened to
comply with it, is regarded in Rome
as being very significant of a very
gradual change in the relations be-
tween the Vatican and the Quirinal.

Some two years ago, however. It
was learned through an action brought
by the author for libel, that not only
had he not been a great hero and
fought among the Indians, but that he
had, in his youth, been a member of
a gang of youthful robbers in the for-
ests of Silesia, where they became the
especial scourge of harmless old mar-
ket women; that he had served ten
years in prison for his crime, and,
moreover, that he had never been out-

his writings had attained led to the
formation of the new association.
