Archbishop of Westminster, has COM
municated to "The Morning post' a
statement from Cardinal Gasparri,
Papal Secretary of State. answering
THE Posts" accusation that the Nati-
can was implicated in disruptive prop
uganda in Italy and is unneutral.

and says that the hierarchy and clergy
in Italy have given the most open and
most generous help to the country 5
cause and have received unreserved
praise from the Italian Parliament and
government. The Cardinal adds that
long before the issuance OF the Papal
peace note. which is said TO have been
among the chief causes Of the army's
lowered morale. the clergy generally
and the army chaplains particularly
were laboring against the destructive
propaganda which had been begun and
was reported TO be giving unrest TO

peace aimed at was not a German
peace
"The Post" in an editorial examining

ally reiterates its original accusation
and cites incidents which it regards as
proofs.

LONDON, Dec. 5.-Further details
regarding the sinking of the British
steamer Apapa, which was torpedoed
recently by an enemy submarine, with
q loss of some eighty passengers and
members of the crew, say that the
steamer, with 100 passengers and full
complement OF crew, was proceeding to
Liverpool in a calm sea at 4 o'clock in
the morning when she was struck by
two torpedoes.
The passengers, mostly women, chill
dren and inyalids, were thrown from

though the vessel was going down
rapidly. Passengers. in the face Of
imminent peril. helped ono another to
secure lifebelts, and then III orderly
fashion filed out upon deck and into
lfeboats. The work of transferring
the women and children to the small
boats was carried out without hitch,
and with remarkable quickness.
As the boats rowed away from the
sinking liner submarines. of which il
is believed there were two, came 20
the surface and commenced to she'll the
open boats, and, despite the utmost
efforts of the oarsmen TO get out Of
range. some casualties occurred. How
ever. the survivors soon were rescued
and landed.

from the United States government IN
making representations to Russian OF

the Central Powers, it was declared
authoritatively at the State Depart
ment to-day.
II was added that no instructions
whatever had cone to the embassy from
Washington, but high officials declined
to comment upon the possible conse-
ouences Of the statements made Tor
mallv in the name of the United States
by the two military officers. Major

Although JudsCn referred TO a gen

Russia. il was pointed out, there Is
really no distinction between them, in
asmuch as the Bolsheviki addressed
all the belligereEt powers, enemies as

civilization which their inventions are
now wrecking in the war.
at is our task" said DR.. Hollis, "to
assist in making the world safe against

that the century may not close with a
total failure of the civilization of
Christian races. IL is we who have de-
veloped the Application OF science
which is being used TO destroy so many
men in the war. Our great problem
will not be how TO develop further. but
how 20 tame what We have invented.
"The twentieth century is still young
and We do not yet know what 1t will
represent TO the future historians.
Will it be a debauch Of science or will
il mean new birth to Christianity ?
u is our task TO decide this Unless
some conscience is aroused that science
is not TO be used against man, but for
him, this world never will be safe for
man.
1--WE must, as engineers, go forward
with our own countrymen TO kill this
conspiracy against freedom. We must
give our lives that science never again
be employed as a destructive agent in
the hands Of few inscriptions men,"
