POPE BENEDICT AND THE WAR.

POPE BENEDICT AND THE WAR.
The heart of Pope Benedict the Fiji
teenth Is sad beyond compare because
of the suffering of the European war.
There is evidence of this continually.
The prisoners Of war from the various
countries have been the object of keen
solicitation on the part of His Holi-
ness. He has taken up the matter with
the Cardinal archbishop of Cologne.
Later the matter was taken up with
Cardinal Gaspari, and with the Bishops
of the countries at war. His Holt
ness obtained, from Emperor William,
the promise that the French priest
prisoners would be treated in accord
ance with the position they occupy,
and asked further that all prisoners,
without reference to religion and ma.
tionality, be treated with the greatest
of charity. The Pope earnestly solic.
tied the bishops of the various coun.
tries to appoint priests to administer
to the spiritual and material wants of
the prisoners within their borders and
assist them in communicating with
those who were left behind. Previous
to the holidays, the beloved Pontiff
used every effort to bring about a
truce for Christmas day. In this he
was not successful, but his efforts to
bring about an exchange of prisoners
and thus return to their own country,
their own people, and their own fam.
lily, the suffering soldiers who are no
longer able to serve in the armies.
The keenest solicitation is shown on
the part of the Holy Father in bring.

is now desolating the countries Of
Europe. In his encyclical letter the

THE NOTE TO ENGLAND.

The Tacoma Daily News, under date
of December 18th, hits the nail on
the head, with reference to England's
interference with American commerce
and the attempt of England to align
American sympathy with the British
cause. in an editorial with reference
to President Wilson's note to the Brit
ish government demanding that Eng
land restrain from interfering with
American shipment and the capture of
lows:
1.-THE NOTE TO ENGLAND.
The administration has lifted itself
considerably in the minds of many
thinking men by taking action, after
long delay, against the radical and
heretofore unheard-of shipping restric.
tions imposed by England against
American commerce.
1t was not by any means unnatural
for England to attempt to have the
United States furnish her with every
thing she needs for war and at the
same time undertake to direct the
shipping of the United States to assist
in the starvation of Germany.
The administration has been quite
deliberate. if not really dilatory, in
meeting the situation, and the note
that has been sent to Great Britain is
somewhat more tender than might
have been expected under all the cir
cumstances. What results will follow
its receipt in Downing street are con.
jectural.
The administration has been doing
its best to assume such position that
at the proper time it may offer its
good offices with a view of bringing
about peace. But it cannot hope to
be of large service in this respect If
Its attitude, as the war progresses, be-
comes inimical to any one of the bel.
ligerents. The strictest neutrality
must be maintained. Such a position
Is, of course, out of the question If
there is even a hint of subservience to
unfair English shipping restrictions,
or If, in our customary ardor in the
pursuit of money we permit ourselves
to become war storehouse for the al
lies. Toward that situation we have
been moving.
England has been most astute in her
efforts to align American sympathy
with the allies, though now and then
Grass note like Poet Laureate Wat
sons whining demand for an open
American alliance with England has
been sounded, and some of the Cana
dian papers have been quite brusque
in the contention that the United
States should pitch its hat before the
kaiser. OF course, our 100000 Ger
man.Americans make that practically
impossible, and they undoubtedly will
make their presence felt in the next
presidential campaign"

STOPPING THE MAR.

slaughter which has deluged Europe
in blood for months and which has
brought in its train untold sufferings
which are ever the attendant condi-
tions of war, have undertaken a most
laudable purpose in attempting to have
an embargo laid on all war supplies
intended for the countries of Europe.
directly or indirectly, interested in the
war. Citizens of the Twin Cities will
address this important meeting to be
held Tuesday evening of next week,
January 18th at the st. Paul Auditor
ium. The aim of the meeting in the
words of the letter which has been
addressed to interested citizens is to
prohibit the furnishing of war material
and arms to the respective belligerent
countries of Europe and Asia. An
embargo laid on war supplies will help
shorten the war, lessen slaughter, suf-
fering, want, and permanent poverty.
The noble aim of those interested in
promoting the cause of the meeting
will unquestionably make strong ap.
peal to all citizens of st. Paul and
Minneapolis It is the intention of
the various societies having represen-
tatives at the meeting to maintain a
secretary at Washington, whose pur.
pose 1t will be to influence passage
of legislation favorable to the course
adopted by the citizens at the mass
meeting. The passage of such a bill
by the national legislature will have
the effect Of placing our country on
plane of neutrality where its neu-
trail position will be unQuestioned, and
its position in the warfare cannot be
challenged. AS the situation exists,
at present, an unlimited amount of
arms and war supplies of all sorts
have been, and are being, shipped to
Canada, where they are reshipped to
Great Britain. A notable example of
the stand that should be taken by our
government was exhibited by we'll
known eastern manufacturer, who re-
fused contract for war supplies
amounting to nearly two million dol
lars, on the grounds that furnishing
such supplies would aid in the slaugh-
ter. No doubt, the passage of such
legislation will meet with strong op-
position on the part of those who are
profiting by the bloody enterprise that
now challenges the attention of the
world. But the commerce that is fur
nished by war supplies is but small
portion of the great American com.
merce that has been swept from the
seas. mainly by England's naval pol.
icy, because England and the allies
are alone benefited by munitions of
American manufactures, since Ger
many's commerce is practically kept
from the Atlantic ocean. A speedy
termination Of the war will bring with
1t a general revival of prosperity and
our country will open to commerce
that portion of articles which are now
on the market at home. Viewing it
in this light, the few individuals who
may profit by furnishing war supplies
should not stand In the way of the
general prosperity of the country. But
the meeting is too important to be
placed on a purely commercial basis.
Our government is neglecting high
moral duties when declaring in one
breath that the United States is neu-
trail, and at the same time permitting
American manufacturers to furnish
death-dealing supplies to the countries

involves on the other. It had been our
confident hope that the example which
the English-speaking peoples have set
in their relations with each other
would be followed by the other great
nations of the earth in their several
international relations. 1t had been
our earnest desire that the spirit Of
peaceful and friendly cooperation
which each of these peoples manifest
toward the people of the United States
would also mark their dealings with
one another. Unfortunately this was
not to be, and we are sorrowfully
called upon to mark our centenary
celebration in the midst of the most
terrible and destructive war that his.
tory records.
Even at such a time. we must avow
once more our emphatic faith in the
supremacy of justice over force, of law
over might. We rejoice in the peace
full relations of hundred years among
all English-speaking peoples, and par
ticularly in the undefended and I'M
fortified line, nearly four thousand
miles in length, which divides the ter
ritory of the United States from that
of the Dominion of Canada. The
mutual trust, forbearance and helpful
ness which make that undefended
boundary link and not barrier be-
w MN
ample to our warning brothers across
the sea. .0
1t had been our purpose, when our
committee was organized in 1910, to
plan for great celebration of the
centenary anniversary by various
methods which have now, because Of
the terrible war which is still con-
vulsing Europe and disturbing the
whole world, become impracticable un-
til the close of the conflict.
But we appeal to the people in all
the states and to all civic bodies to
mark this notable anniversary by
suitable exercises in the churches of
all denominations on the 18th Of
February, the date agreed upon for
that purpose with out associate, the
Canadian committees; by formal adj
dresses at the capitals of the respec.
tive states on the 18th and 18th of
February, the dates of the ratification
and proclamation of the treaty; and
also by appropriate exercises ih all
the schools on the 22nd of February
or on such later date or dates in the
spring of 1915 as may be locally deem
ed preferable, by which all the chill
dren of America should be instructed
on the significance of this great event,
and of the happy prospect which is
assured to us, in spite of this horrible
war, of another century Of continued
peace between all the English-speak-
ing peoples of the world.

 It is of course possible to keep drilled corn free of foreign grass in the rows but hundred-miIe drive any summer will not find more of such fields than one may count on the fin- gers of one hand
 The barnyard and the hogyard should be well drained and if possi- ble they should be paved with some good material that will keep the stock out of the mud One of the best barn. yards I ever saw was paved with con crete and carefully drained to a cis- tern so that all of the liquid manure was saved.
 Threshed oats are fine for fowls, If fed intelligently. They will some times produce crop-bound, if fed too freely when first fed. Almost any dry bulky rations will produce crop-bound when fed in large quantity. However, oats are very valuable ration for fowls, but we would prefer to feed it alternately with mash food made of pure wheat bran, hominy feed and shorts.
 A very important thing for the fruit man to know is that the honey bee is his friend and cuts large figure when it comes to the matter of fertilizing the blossoms. Beekeepers and fruit growers should therefore work to- gether.
 Professor Stewart of the Pennsyl- vania experiment station holds that from the standpoint of the trees the least harmful are titled leguminous intercrops, such as peas and beans, on account of their favorable nitro gen and moisture rations.
 Breeding from a lot of different shapes, colors and sizes of fowls is simply laying the foundation for the same assortment, or the same lack of uniformity, in the chicks, and that is neither satisfactory nor profitable.
 
 An eastern poultryman who lost his cooking house by fire, reports dis. tinct increase in the egg basket as consequence and more activity and better health among his poultry. Wholly dry food, cracked, ground and whole. he has found an improvement all around.

 Never plant young trees among old and diseased ones, because the worms and insects are almost certain to de- stIoy them.
 It is estimated that every year 50,- 100000 tons of potash are carried into the oceans by the streams which empty into them.
 Get all fruit trees planted at the very earliest chance, so that they may make all growth possible the first year after setting out.
 Much land that refuses to grow red clover may be put by cowpeas into a state of fertility that will insure a per rect stand of clover. Horses should never be made to eat moidy hay, as nothing is worse in lead ing to worrying, whistling and other Arrangements of the wind.

 For early matches it is best to give not more than eleven eggs to hen, or those on the outer edge may become exposed and chilled.
 
 Keep all plants clean, to avoid trouble with the red spider and other pests. Spray or sprinkle the foliage once week if possible. Never compel hogs to sleep in straw stacks, manure piles or any place where they will come out steaming and sneezing in the morning. Too much water in the soil makes 1t impossible for the bacteria to carry on the work they find to do, and such soils are unproductive of agricultural crops.
 Too many men do not realize the importance of careful and correct pruning. Find an expert orchardist and work with him to gain the proper experience.
