The newspaper asks why, il the

The text Of the reply reads:
Herr Cardinal-Your eminence has
been good enough, together with your
letter OF August =, to transmit to the
kaiser and king, my most gracious
master. the note Of his holiness, the
pope, in which his holiness, filled
with grief at the devastations of the
world war. makes an emphatic peace
appeal to the heads of the beliggerent
peoples. The kaiser-king has deigned

His majesty has been following for
a considerable time with high respect
and sincere gratitude his holiness ef-
forts in spirit of true impartiality to
alleviate as far as possible the suffer
ings of the war and to hasten the end
of hostiIities. The kaiser sees in the
latest step of his holiness fresh proof
of his noble and human feelings, and
cherishes a lively desire that for the
benefit OF the entire world the papal
appear may meet with success.

posals of Pope Benedict il the bellig-

tiations in the sense of the pontiff's
suggestion. Emperor Charles ot Aus

Austria Hungary ruler received
the pontiff's note with a thankful
heart and with an expression of hope
that the pontiffs efforts may lead TO

The Austrian emperor admits that
the future arrangement Of the world
must be based on the elimination OF
