THE POPE'S INTERVIEW

FULL OF INACCURACIES Rome, June 24. The "Osscrvatore Romano" states that the "Liberte's" interview with tho Pope is full of inaccuracios. UNSATISFACTORY EXPLANATION, (Rec. June 26, 12.30 a.m.) London, Juno 25. The "Osservatore Romano" points out that the opinions of the Holy See must be judged by public official documents, and not by private publications which may contain various inexactitudes. The Italian public regard this _ explanation as unsatisfactory, especially as the inexactitudes are unspecified, and are astonished that tho Pope allowed the interview after the difficulties arising over the alleged interview with Mr. Wiegand, the American journalist. POINTED CRITICISM. BY FRENCH NEWSPAPERS. (Rcc. June 25, 5.45 p.m.) Paris, June 24. "The Temps," in a leader on tho Pono's interview, thinks the Catholics will be disappointed, and asks by what subtlety tho Pontifical party assimilates tho Germans threatened famine with the twelve hundred 'innocent viotims brutally sent to the bottom of tho sea by the Kaiser's submarines, and adds: ''Interest other than religious has admittedly dictated tho Pope's attitude towards Italian intervention." The "Dobats" says: "Those revering the Chief of the Church arc astonished at the neutrality which apparently does not distinguish between tho_ victims of iniustico and those committing it."
