POPE URGES PEACE
AMONG EUROPE'S
NATIONS AT WAR
Calls Upon the Rulers to End
fratricidaI Struggle
SPIRIT OF CHRIST LACKING
Material Welfare Has Become Sole
object of Human
Activity

Rome. Nov 1.-THE pope today
caused to be published his announced
encyclical urging peace among the
warning nations of Europe.
In this document the pontiff attri-
butes the war to four causes, namely:
Lack of mutual and sincere love of
men: contempt Of authority: injustice
on the part of one class of people
against another, and the considerat
ion of material welfare as the sole sub
ject of human activity.
The encylical begins by tracing a
horrible picture of the present war
and by calling upon the rulers and
the people 10 end the fractricidal fight
in order that the day of the new pom
tifcate be blessed by a voice announc.
ing peace throughout the world. The
present war is terrible because. the
encylical declares. il is struggle Of
souls as well as a struggle OF bodies,
the soul being the origin of the body.
After making reference to the doc
trines of Christ, the Pope, in his com
munication says:
The spirit of Christ does not reign
today The people talk today Of
brotherhood more than they ever have
before. yet brotherhood is ignored to
a degree greater than ever before. Ma
lions, races, cities and individuals are
divided today by rancor and selfish
ness more than they are by political
frontiers. The lack of reciprocal char
ity is causing lack OF respect for
authority"
Love does not alter differences be.
tween social classes. but il makes
those above inclined towards th,
humble with Christian virtues. most
OF all with justice, while the humble
trust their superiors. awaiting broth
erly assistance from them
The pope expresses the view that to
bring about the desired change IL will
be necessary to eXtirpate the secret
root of all evils. which he described
as the view that material good is the
only object of life.

MRS. SARAH r. WHITE
Was Oldest Member of Second Con-
eregationai Church

In the death of Mrs. Sarah Il. White
the Second Congregational church
loses not only its oldest member. but
also the one longest member. Mrs.
White came into the membership by
letter in July, 1856, thus for fifty.clght
years having connection with this
church.
IL was not a nominal connection
nor a faithful connection in ordinary
ways, but an attachment which was
beautiful and loyal in extreme degree.
In constancy of attendance upon the
services of worship. in Sunday school
and prayer meeting, in work with the
ladies' organizations. in the social
life of the church, Mrs. White was a
shining figure.
The present pastor holds in most
grateful memory her presence in the
congregation and her intense interest
in all that concerned the well being
of the church In the last several
years when she was Obliged to give
up these most excellent habits of a
life time the same spirit of devotion
remained. II was comfort and an in
spiraton to be permitted friendship
with such an ardent and devout soul
But Mrs. Whites interests and ac-
tivities were not confined to the
church, altho there the writer be.
lieves she found her greatest salts.
faction and content. She was a wo-
man of breadth of mind and extern
sive sympathies. She has been
matron of the Eastern Star and for a
number of years was actively identi.
fled with this organization. She was
one of the charter members OF the
Ladies' Fortnightly Club Her hus-
band was the organizer and first sup
erintendent OF the Guideboard school,
and she was always interested in
work OF that kind She knew like
wise what was going on in the world
at large and was thoughtful about the
big things.
There are some of the dear older
people who are special delight to
the younger. In spite OF their years
they keep their youth and can under
stand youth. Mrs. White was in this
manner very companionable Her
sweet positiveness. her enthusiasm.
and the loneliness of her character ut
tering itself in words and ways. gave
her rare charm of personality.
One OF the great hymns that the
Christian folk love to sing is. For
all thy saints who from their labors
rest. And then they think OF the
faithful and true who lived long cen.
turtles ago. But there is no need al.
ways to go back that far. Such a
one as Mrs. White belongs in the
blessed company G. S. NJ.

Premier Asquith Says French Govern

London, Nov. 1.-THE greatest
single demand ever made upon the
material resources of Great Britain
was voiced by Premier Asquith this
afternoon, when in the house of COM
mons, he moved an additional credit
70 rwar purposes of $l,125,000.0
which, in addition to the millions al
ready voted in August, is equivalent
to an increase of more than fifty per
cent in the national debt. The house
voted unanimously for the credit. and
passed a measure calling for a new
army of 100000
The meeting OF the house of COM
mons today was entirely devoted to
war measure and without partisan pol
itics. Besides finances and new lev
les OF troops The condition and NOR
ais OF the soldiers, the inevitable spy
system and the press censorship were
discussed freely.
The prime minister characterized
the crisis as the greatest emergency
in which the country abs ever been
placed" He said there we're already
under arms 100000 men: that the
war was costing s5.00O,000 day and
that the government proposed to lend
Belgium S50.000,000 and Servia
$4000,000 without interest until the
end OF the war.
Timothy Healy, Irish nationalist,
said that the money should be given

Der for Lancanshire. endorsed his pro-
posal with the suggestion:

German Emperor"
With regard to the suggestion that
skilled war correspondents be perInii-
ted at the front, the premier pointed
out that the government was not a
free agent in the matter.

OUR SAVINGS BANK
IS STRONGEST
IN VERMONT
Bennington County Savings Bank
Leads all Others
WITH SURPLUS OF II PER CENT
Strength in Bank Depends on Ito
Surplus in Relation to Amount of
Its Deposits

The Bennington county savings
bank is the strongest savings bank in
Vermont according to figures compil-
ed by The New England Banker, a
leading banking paper published in
Boston.
The article says that there are sew
eral methods of determining the
strength of a savings bank, one OF
which is the actual size of the surplus
and guarantee fund. A savings bank
which is painstaking in building W
its surplus and guaranty fund is ma
turally efficient and strong.
The article gives list of the sew
en- savings banks in Vermont which
have a surplus of over 100000. These
seven are: Bennington County say
ings bank of Bennington; Brattleboro
savings bank, of Brattleboro; Bur-
lington savings bank. OF Burlng
ton; Passumpsic savings bank. of
st. Johnsbury; Rutland savings bank.
OF Rutland Springfield savings bank
of Springfield; Vermont savings bank
Of Brattleboro.
II is not, however, the size of the
surplus that makes the strength of
the bank. 1t is the size OF the surplus
in proportion to the deposits. The
deposits of a savings bank are its IL
abilities which may be drawn upon
at any time. The surplus is the re-
serve fund gained during long years
of careful management. which will off
set any temporary loss or trouble
Thus bank with two millions Of
deposits and a surplus of $4,000
would be weak bank while bank
with a half million OF deposits and a
surplus of $4,000 would be very
strong bank. In the first bank the
surplus would be only IL per cent
which is not enough for safety while
in the second instance the surplus
would be ten per cent which is ample

bank has the largest surplus in pro-
portion TO its deposits of any savings

strongest bank of the lot. Its surplus
is $241,223 while its deposits are So
