London Disappointed
At Lack of Protest
In Pope's Proposals
By Arthur S. Draper

LONDON, Aug. 49, Parliament takes
with great seriousness. Members with
whom I talked assumed that the Vsti-
can would not have moved unless con-
WINGED first that Vienna had made a
firm offer, and secondly that it would
not meet with a sudden rebuff from the
Allies.

the Vatican, while during the war
Cardinal MERCER, in Belgium, and Car
dinsl Hartmann, at Cologne, have ex-
changed views. Cardinal Gasquet is
we'll qualified to present the Allied
case.
The map Of Europe a. viewed by the
Vatican is perhaps something like the
geography recently attributed to a we'll
known thoologian who said: France
is atheist, Russia is schismatic. Eng
land is heretical, while Austria is holy
The Pope, therefore, has as his OBJ
jects, first, to secure new Catholic
Kingdom in Poland; secondly, TO have
the Catholic throne in Austria pre-
served; and thirdly, to concentrate his
Church on the religious emotions I'M
doubtedly sweeping over France and
the English-speaking dominions.
Desire TO Impress u. S.
To this should be added the desire
TO impress America. The idea of the
Church Universal as spiritual coun-
terpart of the League OF Nations is
spreading rapidly. II was preached
first by Lord Hugh Cecil, brother Of
Lord Robert Cecil. HIS associate, DR..

Pope Asks Peace
AS Spiritual Head

Countries

When His Holiness Pope Benedict,
Pontifex Maximus Of the Holy Catholic
Church, Bishop of Rome and head Of
the hierarchy of the Universal Church,
raises his hand and says to the bel

he does not act as neutral monarch
of the Papal state alone, but as the
spiritual leader of 2S7,O00,OOO souls.
The Catholic Church organization,
with it's elaborate system Of govern
ment, its devotion to the central au-
thority and its universal contact with
all humanity, is the one international
entity.
As nearly as this vast human organ

illusion has already been shattered.
"The Westminster Gazette" hopes
that the Entente Allied governments
will treat Pope Benedict's peace en-

into mishandling it by the alarmed be-
lief that it is German intrigue.
"If il is that" the newspaper says,
"there is all the more reason why we
should handle il honestly and intelll-

dilemma in which the enemy, accord

Christiania offered.
For Neutral Conference

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 15.-The Dutch
Press Bureau announced to-day it had
learned from a German source that a
conference of European neutrals would
be held in September, either at Stock
holm or Christiania, despite the dim
culties which would attend the voyages
of delegates from Spain, Switzerland
and Holland.
Each of these countries, according
to the report, will send two delegates.
The Norwegian government, it was
added, has offered Christiania as the
Mace for the conference, hoping that 1t
will have an effect upon the resump-
ton of American imports.

The Housewives Economy Calendar

Winter picnics are not an impos-
sibility, and are really quite de-
nghtful. They mean, of course,
good deal of exercise, but if you
and the other members of your fam
lily like to walk, you can plan a
tramp into the country. On your
backs or in your pockets or in cas-
lily carried baskets take a lunch
Then stop in some sheltered sunny
spot and build a fire, and cook a
wartime picnic lunch.
Then you can plan delightful
evenings at home-with games or
reading. for yourself and some
congenial friends. If you want to.
the women of the party may knit
for the Red Cross and the men may
read. and then you can serve war
cake and apples-strictly patriotic
refreshments.
The whole point is to do every
thing you do this winter in a
cheerful way, and to make even the
war duties pleasant
Then when you can do the con-
ventional things in the way of recre-
atiOn-go TO the theater, to con-
certs and other places Of amuse-
ment-by all means do them, for
they, too. have their place in keep
ing us all in fighting trim.
