POPE AGAINST WAR.
INCIDENT OF 1914 REVEALED. TRENCHANT LETTER CANCELLED. (United Press Association—Copyright). LONDON, April 25. The Central News Agency says that its correspondent at Rome reports the discovery in the Vatican archives of the text of a letter drafted by Pope Pius X. to Francis Joseph, Emperor of Austria, beseeching him, in the name of God, to renounce the idea of declaring war against Serbia, otherwise he would excommunicate him or deprive him of the title of Apostolic. Emperor. The Archbishop of Vienna strongly opposed the dispatch of the letter, whereupon His Holiness, without result, sent another letter of a less trenchant character.
