Bishop of London Calls
Conflict a Holy War
tBy Gable 10 Tho Tribune. ]

London, June 26.-The Bishop OF
London to-day gave The Tribune cor
respondent his reply to the Pope's re-
cent interview on the war. The Bishop
replied to the specific question: What
is your answer to the pope's position
that war is unjustihable :"
"War is as ideally inconsistent with
Christian principles as slavery was,
but the Christian has to make his
choice of the second hest, and ! be-
leve it was the will Of God that we
should choose, last August, right
eous war, instead of an unrighteous
peace. To me this Is holy cause.
We are fighting for the hottest things
ever intrusted to the care of man
the freedom of our country and the
honor Of our women, the right 10 live
for smaller nations, international
honor as a condition Of future broth
erhood of nations and Christian prin-
ciples as principles to govern the
future conduct of the world, instead
of the pagan gospel Of might making
right.
"Such an object is a holy war. Be-
cause our Lord said at particular
moment that his servants were not to
fight, he could not mean that they
were to see their women and children
treated as the Belgian women and
children have been treated and do
nothing. One boy, now dead. wrote
home to his mother, Il have come out
that you and my sisters may not be
treated as these women are treated

afterward. look upon him az \ mar
tyr in a holy cause.
"Now we come TO the great task
incumbent on the Church of modifying
the spiritual resources Of tho nation.
The Church has saved the nation
again and again in its national his
tory, and | believe IL would be an ex-
cellent thing to carry out a sngges-
ton made to me by a group Of lay
men, that on a fixed Sunday in sum-
mer an appeal be made by the Church
for national unity and services in
every park and on every village green
in Britain. II is for The Cabinet to
settle the methods TO be employed
CONSUMPTION, voluntary service or
whatever may be proposed-but it Is
for the Church to stir up the right

Disclosure of Teutonic
Sympathy at Vatican
Painful to Catholics.
CLEMENCEAU AGHAST
AT POPE'S LOGIC
Marvels That Pontiff Should Say
Violation of Belgium Took
Place in Former Papacy.
tBy Gable TO The Tribune.l

Paris, June 26.-The interview with
Pope Benedict cabled to The Tribune
from Rome last Saturday and pub
lished the following Monday evening
in LA Liberte" continues to cause
somewhat painful feeling among
French Catholics, owing to its disclo-
sure OF the strong pressure at the
Vatican of Austro- German sympathies.
1t now appears that Cardinal Bet
finger, Archbishop of Munich. and Car
dinal Won Hartmann, Archbishop or
Cologne, after making vigorous pro-
tests to Kaiser Wilhelm against the
clear, logical statements of Monsignor
Baudrillard, rector of the Catholic
Institute of Paris, and Of Canon Cad
deau, published with a preface by Car
dinal Annette in remarkable BOOK
on the German war and Catholicism,
establishing the true attitude of the
Roman Catholic Church in the present
war and asserting that "in regard to
the violation Of Belgian neutrality the
Catholic Church not only never mis-
takes force for right, but, on the con-
trary, commands all Catholics to re-
sist force when opposed TO right" have
also addressed to the Vatican still
more vigorous protests against the
Archbishop of Paris for lending his
authority to what the two German
Cardinals consider as "calumnies" con-
tanned in Baudrillard's work.
The Pope's statements in his inter
view have been verified at Rome
through French ecclesiastic sources
and have been found TO be absolutely
accurate. thereby causing some disap-
pointment here. Senator Georges Glenn
enceau, discussing the Papal interview
to-day, says:
what astonishes me more than
anything else in the Pope's statements
is that he declares that the violation
of Belgium took place during the
Papacy of his predecessor, Plus X.
Good gracious | always firmly be-
lieved that all the Popes formed one
solid. continuous, endless block, and
that, owing to the infallibility doctrine,
one Pope was the same deitied being
as other Popes. But now we see Bene-
dict XIV stating as an excuse that such
and such a thing happened during the
time Of my predecessor just as a man
who hires house might say the re-
pairs on this fireplace should be paid
for by the former tenant In other
words, Pope Benedictus is making use
of the schoolboy's typical excuse, It's
not me--it's that other boy"
With this exception, the Papal ut
terances have been commented on In
France with profound respect towaid
His Holiness.
