III we measured our national bless

physical comfort and prosperity,
which has been in recent years so
potent in our thought as a people,
Secretary Lansing says. "the obser-
vance of Thanksgiving day this year
might seem almost a mockery. for we
are engaged in the most destructive
and terrible war Of all times. But
new conception In which the spirit is
exalted above the material, in which
the life Of the nation Is placed above
the life of the individual, no greater
blessing could have come to the re-
public than this awakening to the
fact that patriotism is more to be
priced than wealth.
Secretary Of Labor Wilson, who
has just crossed the continent, tele-
graphed from Portland, Ore, that 'in

REPLIES
TO CRITICISM OF
PEACE EFFORTS
Absurd TO Say Pope Fa-
vors Unjust or Unen-
durable Peace
tBy Associated Presa.)

Rome, Nov. 2s.-The papal secre-
tary Of state, Cardinal Gasparri, an
swering the numerous criticisms re-
garding the Vatican's peace attitude.
issued to the press yesterday the fol-
lowing statement.
'The Holy Father is not preparing
any new appeal looking toward
peace. His earnest desire, many
times manifested, for a just, Chris
tian and durable peace, is unchang-
ed and cannot change. Who can
crave anything else and call him.
self a Christian?
'To say that His Holiness favors,
or has favored, or viii favor an un-
just, unchristian and uncomfortable
peace, is not only false, but also alb
surd. Any propaganda for such
peace, alleged to be conducted at
the Vatican's inspiration, especially
in certain nations. is the product OF
pure maliciousness. A chain of pray
ers has always been as designated
by the holy see and bishops and
priests in the United States Of Amer
lea and elsewhere, are warned
against them, particularly those
having any such propaganda behind
them.
Patriotism a Duty
THE Catholic church has always
regarded true patriotism as a
christian duty and a christian virtue
and still so teaches. The fact THAI the
Italian parliament has had warm
eulogy for the clergy could be suf-
ficient to denounce the calumnies
which have been circulated, and
which are circulating. Malicious in-
situations pfopagated in America
must be denounced. In Italy no fair
minded person is attributing the sit
uation to the clergy
When the disruptive propaganda
began to effect the morale OF the
Italian army. the clergy In general
and also the army chaplains, follow
ing the instructions and example OF
the chief, labored to
it and elevate the morale
Of the troops.
THE true causes OF the recent
Italian reverses are perfectly well
understood IN Italy and the shoulders
on which rest responsibility for the
reverses are well known, a RESPONSE
bility which certainly does not touch
Catholics, the clergy and least of all
the august person Of the sovereign
pontiff"
