POPE SENT WILSON
NO WRITTEN WORD
Vatican Issues Statement Denying
ANY Special Message Communi-
Gated by Gibbons.
CARDINAL, DID NOT NEED 1T

ROME (Via Paris), Sept. 5.-Car-
dinal Gibbons interview with Presi-
dent Wilson is considered by the vati-
can as the most important event in
the campaign for the re-establish-
ment of peace, but the vatican wishes
to have the attitude of the pope plain
ly set forth to avoid misunderstand-
ing, and therefore has issued formal
statement to the effect that the pope
did not send any special message by
the cardinal to the president Of the
United States.
The situation at the present mo-
ment, 1t is pointed out, does not
seem favorable for the pope to take
the initiative in the matter of peace,
but the pontiff is ready to help in
all possible ways in any effort in that
direction from whatever quarter II
comes. The opinion is expressed in
vatican circles here that the United
States is in the best position to un-
dertake such a mission.
