IMPERIAL BARBARIAN.

FRENCH BISHOP DENOUNCES THE KAISER. Mgr. de Gibcrgucs, Bisliop of Valence, writes as follows in the Semaine Religicusc:—■ "The great chief, the accursed chief, who with, premeditation of long standing has let loose war, has succeeded in dragging into it some blinded or servile Catholics. The person chiefly responsible is the Imperial barbarian, the thrall oil Luther and Mahomet, who has solemnly taken into his hands' the cause of the Turks, and who formerly wrote to the Landgrave of Hesse, a convert to Catholicism, 'I liatc your religion, and have consecrated my life to the destruction of the Roman superstition.' "For him who is willing to hear and to understand, the Pope has spoken clearly. He has said all that was needful and all that he ought to have said, his Apostolic mission not permitting him to do more. He has not spoken in a manner to dazzle.or to irritate. What would have been the use? What profit would really have resulted for France and her Allies from a more clearly-word-ed condemnation of the German crimes? Would the number of our soldiers, or of our guns, have been increased thereby?"
