AS POPE VIEWS WAR.

Rome, Nov. 16.-The pope to-
day caused to be published his
announced encyclical urging
peace among the warning ma
tons CT Europe. In this doc
umen the pontiff attributes the
war to four causes, namely, lack
of mutual and sincere love
among men; contempt of au-
thority; injustice on the part of
one class of the people against
another, and the consideration
of material welfare as the sole
object of human activity.
The pope's appeal, urging
peace in Europe, follows a pas
toral letter from the pontiff
issued early in September, in
which he exhorted the heads of
the nations engaged in hostili-
ties to end the present reign of
ruin, disaster and bloodshed.
The pope then said the spec
tacle of the conflict filled him
with horror and sadness, and
that he hoped not only for the
end of this war, but of all wars.
