REPLY TO POPE

AO Alb hOllucSS, D0uoulCIus,
XIV Pope-In acknowledgment of
the communication of your holli-
ness to the belligrent peoples, dat
ed August l, 1916, the President
of the United States requests me
to transmit the following reply:
Every heart that has not been
blinded and hardened by this ter
rible war must be touched by the
moving appeal of His Holiness the
the Pope; must feel the dignity
and force of the human and gener-
Gus motives which promoted it,
and must fervently wish that we
might take the path of peace he SO
persuasively points out. But it
would be folly to take it if it dues
not in fact lead to the goal he pur-
poses. Our response must be bas-
ed upon the stern facts and moth
ing else. 1t is not a mere cessation
of arms he desires; it is a stable
and enduring peace. This agony
must not be gone through with
again, and it must be matter of
very sober judgement what will in
sure us against it.
His Holiness in substance pro-
poses that we return to the status
QUO ante bellum, and that then
there be a general condonation,
disarment and concert of nations
based upon an acceptance of the
principle of arbitration; that by a
similar concert freedom of the seas
be established; and that the terri
torial claims of France and Italy,
the perplexing problems of the Bal
kan States, and the restitution of
Poland be left to such conciliatory
adjustments as may be possible of
the peoples whose political fortunes
and affiliations will be involved.
1t is manifest that no part Of this
program can be successfully carried
out unless the restitution Of the
the status quo ante furnishes a
firm and satisfactory basis for it.
The object of this war is to deliver
the free peoples of the world from
the menace and the actual power
of a vast military establishment
controlled by an irresponsible gov
ernment which, having secretely
planned to dominate the world pro-
ceeded to carry the plan out with
out regard either to the sacred OBJ
legations of treaty or the long es-
tablished practices and long cher
ished principles of international
action and honor; which chose it's
own4timefor. the war; delivered its
blow ferfsag and suddenly; stop
ped at no barrier either of law or of
mercy; swept a whole continent
within the tide of blood-not the
blood of soldiers only, but the blood
of innocent women and children
also, and of the helpless poor and
now stands baked but not defeat
ed, the enemy of four-fifths of the
world. This power is not the Ger
man people. 1t is the ruthless
master of the German people. Ii
is no business of ours how that
great people came under it's control
or submitted with temorary zest to
the denomintion of its purpose; but
it is that the history of the rest OF
the world is no longer left to its
handling.
To deal with such power by
way of peace upon the plan propos-
ed'by His Holiness the Pope would
so far as we can see, involve re-
cuperation of its strength and-a re-
newal of its policy; would make il

The ADVANTAGES Of
COAhUNI0H With GOD
IA. M. MI

u0dE 10 OOu.-1 SdIm lXXlll 20.
Now in reading the written word
of Almighty God, the book from
which the above declaration is
quoted, that book which reveals to
us the way to Heaven, which brings
to light life and Immortality, we
find the inspired writer's thereof
variously representing that great
and highly consolatory privilege
which man has of communicating
with his Creator while in prepar-
atory state. We find them often
representing it as waiting on the
Lord" Coming to God" calling
upon him, "Meditating upon him" !"
ETC., but the Psalmist portrays it
even more striking; it is Drawing
near to God"
Now when we contemplate our
selves, when we see the inclination
of the human mind, we find that it
is apt to wonder and tarry at dis
tance, to attach itself to worldly
things, to cleave to the dust, to
forget God. The varied pursuits
of this transitory life easily absorb
all our time and engross all our
thoughts, so that life of ungodli-
ness is necessarily the result. and
how melancholy is such an exhibit
ton? Man, with all his lofty
powers and moral emotions, wan
dering far from the center of all
blessedness and being satisfied
with the worthless husks that
earthly things afford.
Yes, what sad sight too see
responsible men and women, Great
ures with an immortal, immaterial
principle, a never-dying soul, walk
ing the highway of life, blind as it
were to the great object of their
probation, Indifferent to the great
and momentous realities of death,
judgment and eternity, spending
all time in pursuit of vanishing
pleasures and fieeting joys of earth.
Often we find the state of the mind
evident where there is much that is
naturally lovely and pleasing,
where there is the absence of di-
rect profiigacy or skeptical reject
ing of God or his claims. But the
influence of the carnal mind is ever
directed to estrange the thoughts
and desires from God and to en-
ploy them with an entire devoted
ness to inferior things, and even
when the grace of God has renewed
the soul, there is yet to an extent
the tendency to depart from God
and not to cleave fully to him with
full purpose of heart, so that the
Christian must use all 'scriptural
appliances, must often drink at the
fountain of divine grace ta keep
the heart fixed in it's regards and
attention to divine things. There
is the secret of our success from g
Christian standpeint-our often
drinking at the fountain of divine
grace.
Then we turned from a life of
ungodliness, drank at that fountain
which cleanses from sin and i'm
parts life into the soul, we did not,
could not take sufficient amount
to sustain us on an on until we
reach the celestial city, but we must
often repair thither and drink much
of this life-imparting draught if we
would grow and develop into the
Christian God would have us be.
So we see why the Psalmist declar-
ed such great truth when he said
"It is good for me to draw near to
God" We see why there is an in
dispensible necessity for this exer-

which the German government has
of late accustomed the world. Can
peace be based upon any word of
honor it could pledge in a treaty
of settlement and accommodation?
Responsible statemen must now
everywhere see, if they never saw
before, that no peace can rest Sc
curely upon political or economic
restrictions meant to benefit some
some nations and cripple or en-
barass others; upon vindictive &C,
ton of any sort, or any kind of re-
venge or deliberate injury. The
American people have suffered in,
tolerable wrongs at the hands of
the imperial German government,
but they desire no reprisal upon
the German people, who have
themselves suffered all things in
this war, which they did not choose.
They believe the peace should rest
upon the rights of peoples, not
the rights of government the
rights of people great or small,
weak or powerful their equal
right to freedom and security and
self-government and to partici-
patton upon fair terms in the world

cluded, if they will accept equality
and not seek domination.
The test, therefore, of every plan
of peace is this: 1t is based upon
the work of an ambitious and in
triguing government, on the one
hand and a group of free people on
the other? This is test which
goes to the root of the matter; and
this the test which must be applied

OF THE WOMEN

The Council of National Defense,
which is one Of the important Gov
ernment boards organised for the
effective prosecution of the war,
wishes to enlist the women of the
land in it's work, and to that end,a
Woman's Committee has been made
an adjunct of the Council and ia
expected to give it efficient aid.
There is division of the Wom-
ans Committee for Tennessee COM
posed of well-known ladies of Nash
vile, Memphis, Knoxville, Jackson
and Chattanooga, Mrs. George W.
Denny ofKnoxville being the State
chairman.
The Council of National Defense
will undertake. through the Wom-
ans Committee, to register the
women of the Nation after the
manner that the men subject to
draft were registered. There will
be no compulsion, of course, bnt it
is hoped that there will be q general
response to the call made. 1t is-s
simple effort to give effectiveness
to the work that women can do in
the country's aid through means Of
thorough organization.
1t can be readily understood by
any one with business experience
or an adequate sense of how great
undertakings Of every kind are
conducted, that organization is es-
sential for definite results. The
value of women's work can in this
way be multiplied and the, work OF
millions of willing women in the
United States under a uniform di-
rection Will count immensely to
National advantage.
In all wars women have played
their part. Many of us can remem-
ber the heroic devotion with which
the women Of the South labored to
give aid to the armies of the Com
federacy. 1t is expected that the
present generation of Southern
women will be similarly aroused;
that the women of the whole Nation
in fact may be so stirred.
The organization to be perfected
through the agency of the w Wonan's
Committee of the Council of Ma
tional Defenseis designed to insure
that allwomen's work will be made
available; that none of it go towaste
and that it be encouraged by the
assurance that it has inteliigent
direction and quasi Governmental
supervision.
The thousands of mothers, wives,
sisters, sweethearts and friends of
the soldier boys among the women
OF the country are yearning to give
aid Ia every way possible in admin
istering to the comfort and welfare
of the army, and this organization
will make available their efforts to
this end.
The first step toward perfecting
the organization is the proposed
registration. The registration in
Tennessee will be on October I3.
1t is hoped and expected that every
woman in Tennessee, of whatever
station or condition, will have her
name enrolled end be ready to Join
Ia the army OF workers for the
National cause.
1t must be kept in mind that it
will be all voluntary, all pure pa
triotism, mixed with no other mo-
tive or sentiment except what may
be inspired by that tender feeling
in the feminine breast for loved
ones bearing the brunt of battle at
the front.
The work of registration in Ten
nessee will be under the direction

BULGARIA Is BECOMING
ONE OF THE PRINCIPAL
OPIUM GROWING REGIONS

Rotterdam. Netherlands. July go
since the occupation of the Bulgarian
provinces OF Macedonia. Bulgaria has
become one OF the principal opium
growing countries, writes the Balkan
correspondent of the Nieuwe Rotter-
day Courant.
Before the Balkan wars Turkey
was the leading opium country in
the Levant, and Smyrna the principal
market FOR that article. But Bull
garia has nov become a formidab BILE
competitor Of Asia Minor. both az re-
CARDS quality and quantity. The OPP

and ia the Tikvesh. along the vardar

In ordinary times the opium from
the Levant IN exported to the far east
largely VIC Holland and Britain.
Further Germany chiefly draws on
Bulgaria for the opium her chemical
Industry requires for the preparation
ot morphine. cudeinc. etc. and Bull
garian opium thus is distributed over
the entire world by Gcrmany's
agency. A. The prices obtained FOR

About 2fe.00 pounds of opium
were harvested last year in the prov
