Monsignor Thomas was pastor Of St
Anne's Church in Baltimore and was
editor OF the Catholic Review, a Cath
ole weekly.
The Pope's appeal came no more
from Austria than it did from the
United States" Monsignor Lee de
clared today.
He believes that the Pope's appeal
came purely from his horror at the
bloodshed and loss incident to the
struggle raging in Europe
what the Pope proposes" said
Monsignor Lee. lis an end to this
struggle that is taking the best OF
the worlds manhood and consuming
the civilization and the progress of
centuries. The Pope earnestly de.
sires an end to the struggle this year,
instead of next or the year after, on
basis that might easily be reached
now.
The United States can gain with hon.
or everything for which II went to war
in a peace at this time. The people of
the United States and the people OF me
other countries involved want pea"o.
but II is not so easy to bring peace as
IT is to get into war.
Can not all OF the fighting nations
now attain in a universal peace all
Of the aims OF the war as they are css-
planned to their people?
The Pope proposed peace, because
with this country in the war. h.. Uns
practically the only one left to pro
pose peace. Every one OF the greor
nations OF the world is Mt war, and
with the entrance OF the United States
there was removed the one great neu-
trail that might have brought the on
tending forces together.
"All OF the nations at war respect
the Pope and his office. whether they
believe in his doctrines or not, and hc
was the one power to move. They
will listen to an appeal from the Pope
Tor peace more readily than they
would to anyone else. II was tn. wis,
thing 20 do, and we devuufIy hone
that it will raise the wo-Ii from the
slaughter and the strife upon which
It is engaged

the same as that Of the proposal Of
this country. Can W no. gam Ia
an honorable peace all nf the directs
for which we are GEh.in.,. We hay,
already avenged the insults to our nap
and our people in entering the war"
In discussing the peace proposaI
Monsignor Lee took occasion to score
in no uncertain terms the Americans
who have impeded and Obstructed vnr
measures and the moves Of the United
States. There could be-" he said
mo greater folly than for these men
to be permitted to obstruct so serious
a business that was willed by all OF
the people through their chosen repre-.
sentatives"
Prayers for peace VIII be said in al
OF the Catholic churches Of the city

The Rev. Eugene Hannah, pastor OF
