 The Department of State has re- eeived through the British foreign of fee a communication from his Holi- ness the Pope, of which the following is a translation from the French:
 "To the rulers of tha belligerent
 peoples:
 From the beginning Of our pon ri;ieate. in the midst of the horrors of the awful war let loose on Europe we have had 6f all things three i'll mind. To maintain perfect inipartiality to- ward all the belligerents as becUmas him who is the common father and loves all lie children with equal af lection; continually to ehdaavor to do them all as much good as possible. without exception of person, without distinction of nationality or religion, as is dictated to us by the universal law of charity as well as by the SUI preme spiritual charge with which we have been intrusted by Christ; ftally as also required by our mission of peace, to omit nothing, as far as it lay in our power, that could contrib jite to expedite the end of these cal amities by endeavoring to bring the peoples and their rulers to more mod crate resolutions, to the serene deHb- eration of peace, of a just and lasting peace
 "Whoever has watched our endeav ors in these three grievous years that have just elapsed could easily see that while we remained ever true to our resolution of absolute impartiality and beneficient action, we never ceased to urge the belligerent peoples and Gov ernments again to be brothers all that we did to reach this very noble goal was not made public.
 About the end of the first year of the war we addressed to the contend ing nations the most earnest eXher. tations and in addition pointed to the path that would lead to stable peace honorable to all. Unfortunate ly, our appeal was not needed and the war was fiercely carried on for 1.-two years more with all it's horrors. It became even more cruel and spread over land and sea and even to the air, and desolation and death were seen to fall upon defenseless cities, peace 1 full villages, and their innocent popu- 1 lations And now no one can imagine 1 how much the general suffering would i increase and become worse if other months or, still worse, other years were added to this sanguinary trien- nium. Is this civilized world to be turned into a field of death and is Europe, so glorious and flourishing, to rush, as carried by a universal folly to the abyss and take a hand in it's own suicide?
 'In so distressing situation, in the presence of so grave a menace, we who have no personal political aim who listen to the suggestions or in terests of none of the belligerents, but

are solely aetuated by the sense of our supreme duty as the common fath- or of the faithful, by the solicitations of our children who implore OUT inter- yention and peace-bearing word, ut terine the very voice of humanity and reason. we again call for peace and we renew a pressing appeal to those who have ln their hands the destinies of the nations But no longer confin- ing ourselves to general terms. as we were led to do so by circumstances in the past, we will now come to more concrete and practical proposals and invite the Governments of the bellig- erent peoples to arrive at an agree ment on the following base of just and lasting peace, leaving it with the0l to make them more precise and complete.
 "First, the fundamental point must be that the material force Of arms give way to the moral force of right, whence a just agreement of all upon the simultaneous and reciprocal de- crease of armanments, according to rules and guarantees to be establish ed in the necessary and sufficient measure for the maintenance of pub lie order by every State; then, talk ing the place Of arms, the institution of arbitration, with it's high pacifying function. according to rules to be drawn in concert and under sanctions to be determined against any State which would decline either to refer international questions to arbitration or to accept it's awards.
 When supremacy of right is thus established. let every obstacle to ways of communication of the peoples be removed by insutihg, through rules to be also determined, the true freedom and community of the seas, which on the one hand, would eliminate many causes of conflict and, on the other hand, would open to all new sources of prosperity and progress.
 "As for the damages to be repaid and the cost of the war, we see no other way of solving the question i than by ing up the general phin- ciple of e and reciprocal condon- ation whiL.. would be justified by the i immense benefit to be derived from
 disarmament, all the more as one
 could not understand that such earn
 age could go on for mere economic
 reasons. If certain particular reas- ons stand against this in certain cases
 let them be weighed in justice and
 equity.
 But these specific agreements,
 with the immense advantages that lflow from them, are not possible un- less territory now occupied is recipro- cally restituted Therefore, on the part of Germany, total evacuation of

territory; on the part of the other bel lieorents a similar restitution Of the German colonies.
 As regards territorial questions as, for instance, those that are disputed bv Italy and Austria. by Germany and France, there is reason to hope that in consideration of the immense ad- vantages of durable peace with disarm- ament, the contending parties will eX- anime in conciliatory spirit, taking into account as far as is just and pos sible as we have said formerly, the aspirations of the population, and if occasion arises adjusting private in- terests to the general good of the great human society.
 "The same spirit of equity and jus tice must guide the examination of the other territorial and political questions notably those relative to Armenia, the Balkan States, and the territories forming part of the old Kingdom of Poland, for which, in particular, it's noble historical traditions and the sui fering particularly undergone during the present war, must win, with jus tice. the sympathies of the nations.
 These, we believe, are the main bases upon which must rest the future reorganization of the peoples. They are such as to make the recurrence of such conflicts impossible and open the way for the solution of the eco homie question which is so important for the future and the material well fare of all of the belligerent states. And so in presenting them to you who, at this tragic hour, guide the destin- ies of the belligerent nations, we in- dulge a gratifying hope that they will be accepted and that we shall thus see an early termination of the ter rible struggle which has more and more the appearance of useless massacre Everybody acknowledges on the other hand that on both sides the honor of arms is safe. Do not, then, turn a deaf ear to our prayer, ac- cept the paternal invitation which we extend to you in the name of the Di- vine Redeemer Prince of Peace. Bear in mind your very grave responsibility to God and man. on your decision de- bends the quiet and joy of numberless families, the lives of thousands of young men. the happiness, in word, of the peoples to whom it is your im- perative duty to secure this boon. May the Lord inspire you with decis- ions conformable to his very holy will. May Heaven grant that In winning the applause of your contemporaries you will also earn from the future generations the great titles of pacifi- cators.
 "As for us, closely united in prayer and penitence with all the faithful souls who yearn for peace, we implore for you the divine spirit. enlighten- ment, and guidance. Given at the | Vatican, August 1, 1917.

Correspondence of The Robesonian.
Ten Mile, May 9-Hurrah for Ten
Mile Barkers! We are to
have an $4,000 brick school
building. We are at last united
the only true way to stand. Now
what shall we name onr new school?
The building will be erected about
halfway between Barkers and Ten
Mile. Shall We still call it Ten Mile
Barkers high school? We think
Midway high school or Union high
school would be very suitable. 1t mat
ters not what we call it, We are hap
DIV to report we are to have a modern
trick building. Only 10 voted against
it and they are ashamed to own it.,
be it said to their credit.
Rev. Mr.. Clark preached very
fine sermon here Sunday.
Debate between Tabernacle and Ten
Mile here Saturday night on capital
punishment, will be of interest to
both communities.

joyed Wednesday evening at the home

Miss Gertrude Bethune is in Row.

aunt Mrs. Lytch.
Prof. Davis came back Saturday to
be here and see our school bonds vot-
ed.
Mr.. Rossie Britt, who has held a
position with Lumberton bargain
house for two years, has resigned.
He is here with homefolks for the

Mr.. Jim Pate and son, Mr.. Marion

afternoon here visiting his daughters
Mesdames B. F. Townsend and J. N.
Regan.
Mr.. Amos Howell of Fayetteville
spent a few days here last week.
We understand that a number Of
our people are thinking of going into
the canning business. Surely, this
is fine and merchants should keep
their daughters and wives off the
street, out of drug stores and picture
shows and learn to do something of
this kind, thereby to some extent re-
ducing the high cost of living. They
can yell to the farmer and wife
"Raise more food, be more econom-
icaP'. Are they? Which could live
independent of the other?
