A PAPAL ENCYCLICAL.
GERMAN CATHOLICS PROTEST. /By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (United Press Association.) Berlin, December 2. The ‘Frankfurter Zeitung’ says that Herr von Bethmaun-Holhveg, tlie German Chancellor, informed a leading member of the Centre that the recent Papal encyclical enjoining German Catholic artisans to belong to purely Catholic trade unions, represented the limit of interference by the Vatican which could be permitted. A recurrence would cause the withdrawal of the Minister in the Vatican interests. This raises a fresh issue, as Herr Beth-mann-Holhveg is dependent on the Catholic vote to combat the Socialists.
Friction has been increased by the Federal Council’s rejection of Bavaria’s claim for a more liberal interpretation'of the anti-Jesuit law.
The ‘Volks Zeitung’ and ‘Germania’ declare that the Catholics will never tolerate the police regime which a Prussianised Germany seeks to impose by a Jesuit propaganda.
