VATICAN DENIES MOVE TO DISCREDIT DR. MARX Stand on Socialism Does Not Apply to German Politics, State- ment Says. By the Associated Press. | BERLIN, April 23.—The official or san of the Center Party, Germania, today publishes the following state ment from Cardinal Gasparri, secre- tary of state of the Vatican: “The Vatican categorically deries the interpretation, given by the Ger man conservative papers, that expres- sions appearing in the Observatore Romano concerning sociallsm are to be construed as bearing on the Ger man presidential eiection or that the Holy See has expressed itself as be ing opposed to the election of Dr- Marx. The Holy See does not inter vene in the national politics of Ger- | many, nor does it propose to do so0.” The statement apparently was prompted by concerted efforts by the German consérvative newspapers to | discredit the Center Party's alliance with the Socialists in the present | campaign. . | everybody every day eat POST’S BRAN FLAKES as an ounce of prevention Now You'll like bran 0 THE EVENING $2,000,000 LOSS SEEN IN ELEVATOR BLAZE Two of Oldest Grain Structures in .
