of the negative Pios X, and push

the Jesuit has chosen q supreme
hour when politicial Rome can
show it's hand by its new pope and
command peace and cause the
winds and waves of passion to
cease and wars of tumult to be
still. Here is the dispatch:

and made Servia agree to support
two Roman ssss. OF course, anti
pspal Servia was mad. When
the people found themselves tied
up with Rome they assassinated
the prince and his wife. That was
the lighted match thrown into the
oombustible war preparations and
the explosion followed. But some
times man can start things which
they can't stop. Gan Benedict
XIV stop it?
What intrigues the Jesuit has
accomplished, how he has fostered
and promoted national jeaIousies,
piled up the kindling wood in
every nation and set fire to it, will
sometime be made known, aud
when that hour comes the "great
dsciever of nations" will be cast
