To His Holiness, Benedictus XIV,
Pope:
In acknowledgment of the commune
cation of your Holiness to the bellig-
erent peoples, dated August 1, 1917.
the President of the United States re.
quests me to transmit the following
reply:
Every heart that has not been blind
ed and hardened by this terrible war
must be touched by this moving ap-
peal of his Holiness, the Pope; must
feel the dignity and force of the hui
name and generous motives which
prompted it, and must fervently wish
that we might take the path of peace
he so persuasively points out; but 1t
would be folly to take it If it does
not, in fact, lead to the goal he pro-
poses.
Our response must be based upon
the stern facts and upon nothing else.
1t is not a mere cessation of arms he
desires; 1t is stable and enduring
peace. This agony must not be gone
through with again, and it must be a
matter of very sober judgment that
will insure us against it.
To Free Peoples From Militarism.
His Holiness in substance proposes
that we return to the status quo ante
bellum, and that then there be gen
eral condonation, disarmament and a
concert of nations based upon an &C
ceptance of the principle of arbitra.
ton; that by a similar concert free.
dom of the seas be established and
that the territorial claims of France
and Italy, the perplexing problems OF
the Balkan states and the restitution
of Poland be left to such conciliatory
adjustments as may be possible in the
new temper of such peace, due re-
gard being paid to the aspirations OF
the peoples whose political fortunes
and affiliations will be involved.
1t is manifest that no part of this
program can be successfully carried
out unless the restitution of the status
quo ante bellum furnishes a firm and
satisfactory basis for 1t. The object
of this war is to deliver the free peo
pies of the world from the menace and
| the actual power of q vast military es
tablishment controlled by an irrespon
sible government which, having Sc
cretly planned to dominate the world
proceeded to carry the plan out with
out regard either to the sacred obli
cations of treaty or the long-estab
lished practices and long-cherished
principles of international action and
honor; which chose its own time fol-
the war; delivered its blow fiercely
and suddenly; stopped at no barrier
either of law or of mercy; swept a
whole continent within the tide OF
blood-not the blood of soldiers only
but the blood of innocent women and
children also and of the helpless poor;
and now stands baked, but not de
feated, the enemy of four-fifths of the
world.
Would Need Hostile Combinations.
This power is not the German peo
Pile. 1t is no business of ours how
that great people came under it's con
troll or submitted with temporary zest
to the domination of its purpose; but
i. is our business to see to 1t that the

longer left to it's handling.

BIG STOREHOUSE
FOR NAVAL BASE

According to mail adVices from the
mainland, more naval stores are to
be added to the base at Pearl Harbor,
the navy department having recon-
mended 100000 in addition to the sum
of 100000 now available for this pur-
pose. ..E
Details Of the program indicate that
material equivalent to q years sup
ply for two battleships the size Of
the New York will be stored at the
station as soon as accommodations are
provided, though it is not thought
that two battleships will be kept there.
In addition there must also be
enough material to carry on the man.
ufacturing and repair work of the
station, and the plan of continually
increasing the reserve supply Of war
material, adopted in 1916, will be con-
tinued. It is said at the naval sta
ton that the plans for big storehouse
at Pearl Harbor have been under con-
for some time, and that
these are evidently In line with what
have already been talked Of.

PRESIDENT S. +.
CHAMBER HERE

One of Honolulu's distinguished Wis
itors, who arrived in the Wilhelmina,
was F. ]. Roster, president Of the San
Francisco chamber of commerce. He
was accompanied by Mrs. Roster and
they are at the Moana Hotel.
81 Just ran away from the coast TO
get a little real rest" the commercial
man told a Star-Bulletin reporter, "and
don't want to talk chamber Of com
merce for a few days at least" =
Roster was met at the gangplank by
Secretary Raymond C. Brown Of the
Honolulu Chamber of Commerce, and
several other representative Honolulu
men who personally knew the visitor
or knew of him were on the wharf to
give him a smiling welcome and a
hearty handshake.
Honolulu" exclaimed the visitor
sincerely, not at all daunted by the
rainy aspect of the weather, as he
made his way to an auto, why San
Francisco is coming to love this place
more every day. We have just about
adopted you and anything that per-
tains to Honolulu and her good nEnie
affects US about the same. We look
upon this city of the sea as a part Of
US, sister city, you might say"
Roster was here Is years ago and
can hardly believe his eyes at the
changes. He will be here until after
the Carnival, during which time he
expects to thoroughly go into many
phases Of the local life.
