CRITICISM OF BRITISH BLOCKADE,

PARIS, June 23rd. The Rome correspondent of La Liberte hag interviewed the Pope, His Holiness defended his abstention from denouncing the revolting war crimes because he was unable to discuss the merits of the matual Focusations. The destruction of called ral, and of Louvain library, were abomi- nations which he utterly condemned; but he would not pass judgment.

The Judge is Above. There was no more horrible crime than the sinking of the Lusitania, but, His Holiness asked, was a blockado which condemned millions of innocoat people to starvation, inspired by very humane principles?
