NOTA ANTERIOR
A su Santidad Benedict XIV:

EN- debida respuesta a la comuni-
cacion de Vuestra Santidad a los pal
SEES be1igerantes, del 10. de agosto, ell
p~residente de los Estados Unidos me
ordena que olga a Vuestra Santidad
10 s%iguiente:
acknowledgements que TODD corazon
que no este endurecido nj cegado por
esta terrible guerra, debe sentirse inn
p%resionado por Ell llamamiento de
Vuestra Santidad y debe comprender
los sentimientos de dignidad y de hu-
manidad Y los %generosos motives que
10 impulsaron a hacerlo, y deseara
fervientemente que SUI noble y per-
s~uasivo deseo logre ell fin a que Sc
dirije.
"Pero acknowledgements que seria
POGO juicioso contestar a csc llama
mamiento sin tener una idea clara de
10 que Vuestra Santidad Sc propone.
Nuestra respuesta debe estar basa-
da sobre hechos claros y no sobre
ninguna otra cosa. Vuestra Santidad
desea no solamente la cesacion de la
una paz duradera. Este terrible NAL
que ocasiono la guerra, debe desapa-
recer para siempre y por 10 tanto de-
Demos asegurarnos contra ell.
"Nuestra Santidad, en- substantial,
propone que volvamos al "Statu quo
ante bellum'; que no haya indemni-
zaciones; que Sc lleve a cabo Ell de-
sarme universal y que Sc celebre TN

ceptacion del principle de Arbitra-

sotros la tarea de analizarles y COM
pletarlas: Lo primero de TODD, los
puntos fundamentals deberan ser
que la fuerza material de las armas
sea substituida por una fuerza moral
del derecho, de donde nacera un "a
cuerdo equitativo entire todos para la
d~isminucion simultanea y reciprocal
de las armadas de acuerdo o las re-
glas y garantias que Sc establezcan en-
una MEDIA necesaria y suficlente pa
ra Ell mantenimiento del orden EN- ca
da pals. Despues en- la sustitucion de
los ejercitos, la institution de un ar
bitraje con todas las facultades pa
cificadoras, de acuerdo con los regla-
mentos que Sc fijen y las penas que
deban imponerse a las naciones que
Sc rehusen va sea a someter una cues
ton nacional a arbitraje o a aceptar
su decision.
Una vez que Sc haya establecido ell
derecho de supremacia, todos los obs
taculos para las Was de communication
de las naciones desapareceran, garan-
tizandose, por medic de leyes que
despues Sc fijaran, la verdadera liber-
tad y comunicaciones en- los mares, 10
cual contribuiria a poner fin a los nu-
merosos casos de conflicto, y dar en-
trada a nuevas fuentes de progreso y
prosperidad.
"Por 10 que hace a los dahos que
deben reparase y a los gastos de la
guerra, no vemos otro medic que ell
de someter, como principle general,
una condonacion total y reciprocal,
que seria mas que recompensada por
ell immense beneficio derivado del de-
sarme, siendo este tan grande que ma
die GUERRA la continuation de una car
NIGERIA semejante solo por razones del
orden economico. Consiguientemente,
de parte de Alemania, la -desocupacion
total de Belgica con la garantia de
SUI independence politica, militar y
economical y desocupacion del terri
torio frances. Por parte de otras ma
clones beligerantes, la restitution
complete a A1emania de sus colonias.
Con relacion a las dificultades terri
t~oriales que e~xisten, por eJemplo, en-
tire Italia y Austria, y entire Alemania
y Francia, Sc espera que en- vista de
las grandes ventajas de una paz esta-
bic Y del desarme, las parties intere-
sadas estarian dispuestas a tratarlas
una disposition conciliadora, CO.
mo antes hemos dicho, las aspiracio-
mes de los pueblos, los intereses espe-
ciales y ell bienestar general de la gran
familia humana. FL mismo espiritu de
equidad y j~usticia debera seguirse en-
Ell eXamen de otras cuestiones terri
toriales y politicas, sobre toda aque-
las que sc r%elacionan con Armenia y
los Estados Balkanicos y los terrific
rios que forman parte del antique
RENO de Polonia, cuyas mobiles tradi-
clones historicas y sufrimientos, que
Sc han recrudecido en- Ell conflicto &C
tual, deben a~traerle las simpatias de
las n%aciones.
Tales son las bases fundamental
les sobre las que creemos que debe e.
dificarse la futura organization de los
pueblos. Son de tai naturaleza que ha-
cen impossible la repeticion de un con-
flicto semejante y que prepararan a
la solucion de la question economical
que es tan importante para Ell bienes-

council, then addressed the boys, stat ing that Norwich boys had most cer- tainly demonstrated that they are the equal of any in the country when ii comes to a really important bit of ser vice. Mir.

 The report includes only subscrip- tions that have been sent to Boston or are now in possession of the banks. The amount in excess of S1,000,O00 is something like s3O,O0O
 Judge Belcher said he did not know the loan allotment for New London but was quite certain that the state ment that it was s400,0OO was incor- rect. He said that the loan of $2 900, = 100000 divided among the 100, ,O0O, 900 people of the United States puts a per capita allotment of S20 on every man woman and child in the country The New London district embraces, besides that city, Waterford East Lyme. Gro ton and Old Lyme, with a population in the aggregate estimated at about 45 900. Allotting s2O to each person in this district would give New London an allotment of $90o, 900

LEMONS BRING OUT THE HIDDEN BEAUTY Make this lotion for very little cost and Just see
 for yourself.

What girl or woman hasn't heard of lemon juice to remove complexion blernishes; to bleach the skin and to bring out the roses, the freshness and the hidden beauty? But lemon juice alone is acid, therefore irritating, and should be mixed with orchard white this way. Strain through a fine cloth the juice of two fresh lemons into a bottle containing about three ounces of orchard white, then shake well and you have a whole quarter pint of skin and complexion lotion at about the cost one usually pays for a small jar of ordinary cold cream Be sure to strain the lemon juice so no pulp gets into the bottle then this lotion will remain pure and fresh for months When applied daily to the face. neck, arms and hands it should help to bleach, clear, smooth ea and beautify the skin.
 Anv druggist will supply three ounces of orchard white et very little cost and the grocer has the lemons.

Judge Case Heard Testimony in Action
 Against Nathanie. T. Bacon.

In the superior court in this city Thursday morning Judge William S Case started to try the case of Willis Austin against Nathaniel T. Bacon of Norwich. Te suit arises over a con- troversy over a spring.
 It is alleged that several years ago, when the plaintiffs father bought some land in Norwich from the defenda mt s father, Rev. pr. Bacon, the former re- served right to spring on the grounds. In order to keep the spring sanitary, the plaintiff in the case some time later erected a shelter over it.
 The plaintiff claims that the de- fendant reduced the shelter, tearing it down, and as a result debris fell into the spring, polluting the water so that he could not drink it. and was com peiled to resort to city water.
 After hearing the testimony in the case, court went out and the case went over to Tuesday morning, when the arguments will be made.
