BY HENRY WOOD

ROME, Dec. THAT Pope Bene-
dict hopes TO make the vatican q
clearing house for peace ideas
through which the war soon may
be ended, was the conclusion drawn
here today from the allocution de-
livered by his holiness at the open.
ing Of the secret consistory.
The pope pointed tho way to q
possible peace agreement by aug
costing an exchange Of views by
the nations at war This method OF
arriving at peace, he said. had been
tried and found satisfactory In sini'
lar circumstances.
No medium through which these
peace ideas might be transmitted
was mentioned by the pontin. But
the general Interpretation today
was that Pope Benedict plans Tn
make the vatican such q medium
and to employ tho whole organiza-
tion OF the church In an effort to
b6ins the wnrring powers into
agreement.
Pope Benedict's suggestions al
ready have borne fruit. Indeed be-
tore the cardinals gathered In con-
clavs yesterday. peace talk Ia un-
dsrstood to have passed between
Cardinal Hartmann. Of Cologne. and
cardinals from the Allied countries.
with the papal sanction II is be-
fieved there will be more Informal
conversations during the week.
when the prelates return to their
homes each will be In a position to
convey to hts government the peace
Views OF the others.
After recounting the difficulties
OF convoking the cardinals because
OF the war. Pope Benedict turned to
the subject OF peace, the principal
theme OF his allocution.
I'm this grave and historic mo-
mont before the assembly. notwith.
standing the ruin accumulating dur
Ing the last 16 months. notw.th-
Standing that tho desire for peace
grows daily In many hearts and
that numberless families In their
sorrow long for II, notwithstanding
that I have tried every means that
might hasten peace or allay discord.
nevertheless the fatal war still
Grows in fury by land and sea. and
threatens unfortunate Armenia with
extreme ruin.
"The letter which. on the ami
versary OF the beginning OF the war.
we addressed to the belligerent peo-
pies and their rulers. though It re-
ceived reverent hearing, by no
means produced the beneficent ef-
fects that were expected.
"While we seek with all our re-
sources 20 alleviate the doleful con-
seanepces, we feel obliged bv our

put an end to the tremendous con-
fagration.

whole of humanity ardently wishes
for, that is, a peace that II just and
lasting---not favorable alone TO one
group of beIligerents.
"The way which can really lead
TO such happy result and which
has already been tried and found
satisfactory In similar circum-
stances and which we have already
suggested In our original letter to
the powers. consists OF an ex-
change Of ideas. both direct and In
direct, with voluntary spirit and Sc
