the value Of paper clothing for winter

mulberry bark. has little sizing in It,
and is soft and warm. Between two

the whole. 1t is something Of draw

THE PoPE's MESSAGE
TO AMERICANS

Through a correspondent of The
World, Pope Benedict XIV. sends a
message to the American people urg-
ing them to work increasingly and
disinterestedly fer peace, to the end
that this terrible carnage and attend
ant horrors and miseries may soon
cease
That has been the attitude of the
American people from the beginning
of this horrible calamity that has ov-
ertaken civilization. That is still
their attitude. The pope expresses
his belief that "the entire world is
looking toward America to take the
initiative steps looking toward
peace" There can be no doubt of
the readiness of this country to render
that service to humanity.
The initial STEPS were taken by the
president in the early days of tie
war wien he terdered the friendly
offices of the United States to the
belligerents. That offer was then
rejected, courteously hut firmly; yet
it still holds good, and the United
States is ever ready to act.
Wars are like fevers. They must
run their course. The United States
can do nothing until tie nations of
war are ready to receive its ministra-
tions, and that they are not willing
to do. The American people are help
less. Tie president is helpless. We
cannot impose peace upon any of the
by fiat or we should have done so
long ago. But whenever single pow
er now at war is prepared to accept
the friendly offices of the United
States tie Vatican may be sure that
the response of Washington will be
immediate and wholehearted.
No other people have done so much
for humanity since this war began as
the American people have done. 1t
is not extravagant to say that in al
history there is no other such rec
ord of generous and disintere sted SER
vice. We have fed the starving, we
have clothed tie naked, we have
bound up the wounds of the injured
and carried them literally from the
jaws of death. M,lliors of dollars
of American money have been pour
ed out to relieve suffering and dis
tress. American surgeons and Am
eTican nurses supported by American
generosity are everywhere engaged
in desperate battles to save the
lives that war has sought to destroy.
We have carried the heavy burden
OF our own distress, while exerting
unprecedented efforts to tighten the
burden of others distress, and have
asked no thanks.
Our friendly services are still at
the disposal of Europe. We have no
interests of our own to serve except
such interests as are served by the
rehabilitation of civilization. We want
nothing from any of the belligerents
except friendship and goodwill. We
want no share in the spoils of war.
We have no sphere of influence to
conserve or to extend. The pope may
rest assured that his sentiments in
respect to peace are the sentiments
OF the American people. They feel
as he. feels. They are ready to
serve as he hopes and prays that
they may be ready to serve.-New
York WCrld.

Let us think of America before we
think Of Europe, in order that Ameri-
ca may be. fit to be Europe's friend
when the day of tested friendship
comes. Tie test is not sympathy
with one side, or the other, but is
in getting ready to help both sides
when the struggle is over. ."-Presi-
dent Wilson.
