GERMAN COUNT'S LETTER TO POPE

The Leipziger "Näueste Nachrichten prints a remarkable open letter from Count Stolberg Wernigerode, a leading member of the Herrenhaus, to the Pope Of all countries (he says) Germany must repudiate the interference of the papacy whose baneful influence is the darkest stain on German history.

Since July 1st, 1816, the British Armies in all the theatres of war had conquered or reconquered approximately 128,000 miles, and also taken 30,197 prisoners and 186 guns from the Turks.

IMPERIAL CONFERENCES.

LORDON, November 15th.. In the House of Commons Mr. Norton Griffiths asked-In view of the fact that so many changes have occurred in the aspect of the war since the last Imperial Conference, will the Prime Minister consider the advisability of summoning conference to take place during the next three months?

Let me frankly confess that I am one of those men who was led to agree to support the Hohenzollern war plans when this peal was made to the leading busi mess men of Gerany in 1012-13. I was led to do so, however, against my better judgment.

In 1912 the Hohenzollerns saw that war had become a necessity to the preservation of the military system upon which their power depends. In that year the Hoher zollerns might have directed if they bad desired, the foreign affairs of our country so that peace would have been ensured in Mr Boner Law replied that the sug Restion was impracticable, oning to the Europe for at least fifty years.
