POPE is NEUTRAL
IN EUROPE'S WAR
Pontiff at Consistory Refers to
Efforts to Mitigate Con-
fiict' s Disaster.
Miss AIuriel Wilson

Rome, Jan. 23.-Pope Benedict yes
terday at a private and public consist
DRY. at which he recognized several
bishops, delivered an allocution deal
inf chiefly with the war
The pontif emphasized the neutral
ity of the holy see and referred 10 his
efforts to mitigate the disastrous con
sequences of the conflict He urged
his hearers not TO heed those cOndi-
tions which separated the faithful.
but rather to consider those which
made them brothers in the faith, and
he called upon the invaders of terri
tory of the enemy not to commit eX-
cesses.
Pope Benedict began his aIlOcution
by expressing his deep chagrin that
month after month went by without
even the distant hope that this fatal
war soon would cease As interpreter
of the eternal law. the pontif said,
he could declare that nobody should
be permitted TO infiict injustice, but he
could not go further I'm this conflict
While not taking sides with either
antagonist. the pope continued, he fol-
lowed with deep anxiety the terrible
phase of the war, fearing that during
some of the engagements the violence
of the attack exceeded al bounds
Concerning our beloved Belgian
people tAe pope continued. I'VE
showed our sympathy in our letter to
Cardinal Mercier.
Here we make appeal to the senti
ment of humanity of those who cross
the frontiers of hostile nations con
iuring them not to devastate the in
vaded regions more than is absolutely
necessary from the standpoint of mill
tary occupation, and above all not to
wound without actual necessity the
feelings of the Inhabitants in their
dearest possessions, their sacred tenn
pies their ministers of God, their
rights, their religion and their faith"
Continuing the pope alluded TO the
recent earthquake in Italy saying that
other events had occurred which had
obliged men to humiliate themselves
before the powerful hand of God.
In conclusion the pope invited all
he faithful to participate in a great
expiatory function in Europe TO be
leld Feb. Z. and outside of Europe

md the cardinals would take part in
