Pope Benedict Asks
Prayers for Real Peace
Catholic Parishes Throughout
The World Urged to Join
in Pleas

KO ME-, Dec. 1.-The encyclical let
ter addressed by Pope Benedict TO the
Oatnohc episcopate throughout the
WWofid Tor prayers of the approaching,
Peace Conference says:
That which the entire world so
long sighed for, that which Christian
ltty lmplored with fervent prayers, aud
that we, Interpreting the common,
grlef, urged with paternal heart for
the good of all, has in a moment come
TO pass as the last booming Of the
guns IS silenced. Peace has not vet
solemnly ended the war, but an armis-
tlce meanwhile has suspended tho
slaughter and devastion by land, sea
and ar, happily opening the way for
peace"
The Pope attributes the end of the
war "to Him who governs all events
who, moved to pity by the perseverina q
prayers Of the good, conceded at las:
that humanity might recover from So
many griefs.'
The Pontitf ends by urging the
eplscopacy of the world to impore the
Almighty by means of public PRAYERS
IN each parish to shed His light upon
the congress and enable it to secure a
true peace founded upon the Christian
principle of justice. The Pope on his
part Will use all the influence of his
apostolic ministry, it is added, to have
the decisions of the congress ovarv-
where accepted and loyalty cxecufea
by Catholics with a view to perpetual
ing order tranquility and concord in
the world ~

Armenian Murders
Dcp!ored by Sultan
Mohammcd vi Says He Will
Punish Those Guilty of
Massacrcs

LONDON. Dec g. The London news
papers today print m interview with
Mohammed VI, the Turkish Sultan. OBJ
tanned by British correspondent in
Constantinople, who describes this
ruler az a very different personality
from his two brothers who preceded
him on the throne.
In talking with the corrcsp spondent
the Sultan condemned the unwisdom
and lack of foresight which brought
Turkey into the war and led her TO the
calamity which had befallen her. He
declared that if he had been Sultan
ths would never have happened.
The ruler expressed great sorrow at
the treatment of the Armenians by
certain political committees Of Tur-
key" and added:
"Such misdeeds and the mutual
slaughter Of sons Of the same father
land have broken my heart. | ordered
an inquiry as soon as came to the
throne, so that the fomenters might be
severely punished but various factors
prevented my orders being promptly
carried out. The matter is now being
thoroughly investigated. Justice will
soon be done, and We will never have
repetition Of these ugly events"
The Sultan asked the interviewer to
publish the following from the ruler:
"Thc great majority Of the nation
is entirely innocent Of the misdeeds at-
tributed TO it. Only limited number
of persons are responsible"

ChiIe-Peru Strain Lessons

BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 6.-The con-
troversy between Chile and Peru is
approaching a peaceful solution, 'La
Nacion" says it is informed by a con-
tidential but reliable source, as re-
suit Of the efforts of the State Depart
ment and the Uruguayan Foreign
Office.
The two Foreign Offices are said to
have been in constant communication
sine Tuesday. The newspapers inform
ant says that the tow governments
propose a partial plebiscite and that
the Chilean and Peruvian Foreign
Offices are friendly disposed toward
the proposal which contemplate the
restoration of Pacific port to Bolivia.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. - 1t was
stated officially at the State and Navy
Departments to-day that no American
warship was on its way to Peru and
that none had been ordered there. A
report from Lima yesterday said sew
eral American cruisers were expected
to arrive in a few days from San Fran

Albert Bushnell Hart Asks Chance
To Prove He Is Not Pro-Cerman

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec 6. DR.
Abort Bushnell Hart, professor Of the
aclence Of government at Harvard
University and widely known his
torlcal writer, announced tonight that
he had telegraphed the Senate Com
'nittee investigating German propa-
ganda in this ciuntry, asking that he
be given an opportunity to reply in
person to any intimation of pro-Ger-
manism on his part.
In statement brought out by the
mention of his name as having been
on list of pro Germans" found in
the diary Of Dr.. Karl A. Fuehr, Ger
man agent, Professor Hart asserted
that from the moment the Germans
crossed into Belgium he never had
doubted that they were the most dam
gerous people in the world. Professor
Hart said, in part:
"No defence against such an accusa-
tion needs to be made among my
friends and associates in Harvard Col
lege and throughout the country for
they know perfectly we'll where | have
stood from the first day of the Euro
pean war.
Never Has Seen Fuehr
81 have never seen this man Fuehr,
nor William Bayard Hale, but I did
meet the German financial agent, Al
bert, at a dinner in Boston, where he
spoke in defence of the course of Ger
many in Belgium, and any gentleman
who was there will testify as to the
slam that | gave him then and there.

Widespread Rioting
Indicates Allies Hare
Big Police Job Aheao
.Ne1c Yorie Tribune
Copyright 1913. New York Tribune. Inc)


LONDON, Dec. 6.--Although perhaps
the inevitable aftermath of the great
war, the internal affairs Of Europe
are beginning to take on a somewhat
Ngly aspect The Cologne rioting un-
doubtedly is symptomatic Of what pos
slDly viii accur in widespread area
unless it is promptly and sternly
checked. The rapid approach of the
British troops to the Rhine may be q
partial explanation, but it is hardly
q sufficient reason for the ma jority
of the inhabitants getting out of con-
troll, attacking and plundering shops
and fighting what may seem almost
pitched battles with the police and civil
guard.
Equally disquieting news comes from
other places like Hamm and West
phalia, where thousands of miners
hoisted the red flag, and also from
Wanne, where returning soldiers
fought the local Soviet forces The in
cident Of the alleged leaflet issued by
the supreme army command de
nouncing the Soviets shows further
how the wind is blowing, indicating
the nearness of the trouble to the sur
face
Simultaneous Y, the report arrives
via Constantinople that a state of rev.
olution has broken out in the Ukraine,
where the authorities appealed to the
Allies to restore order, while vague
but persistent news trickles across the
frontier that there is considerable dis
turbance in internal Russia.
The general situation is being
watched closely here, and it is gen
orally thought that the army Of oc-
cupation may find police work con-
fronting it.

peace. We cannot afford to prolong
the discussion. That was the reason
we decided that the best thing was to
invite Mr.. Wilson to come personally
to see US. Let us cndeavor to reach
an understanding.
Didn't Know His Views
1--WE had no channel of reaching HE
mind with our views or obtaining from
Washington what interpretations he
placed on his own words. We now
await his coming with trepidation,
knowing that the Socialist elements
among the Allies hail his arrival. If
he insists upon impossible terms, he
can destroy much of the military and
naval victory and can incalculably in
jure the Allies and benefit Germany,
and possibly reinstitute the very thing
he desires to Destroy namely, the per-
petuation Of armaments, or else he
may scatter Bolshevism broadcast over
Europe to the injury of the whole of
civilization.
Frankness Is Needed
81 don't doubt that M. Clemenceau
and King George will meet Wilson
aboard the George Washington outside
Brcst and make clear this position be-
fore leaving the ship. Nothing less
can be done. We must speak frankly
'bo o1o nc hn
depend upon this meeting. If he re-
fuses to accept our view, Germany
can make the gravest difficulties for
us. The Allies must remain allied. If
America remains apart, Germany will
do likewise, laboring over period in
future years to destroy friendliness
between America and the Allies.
"Britain, as whole, regards Wilson
as Il wonderful statesman. who with
great ability deftly manipulated Amer
ica into the war, but our statesmen
realize that we face a grave situation.
We hope President Wilson will prove
reasonable next week. We hoped he
would appoint one or two foremost
Americans we'll known to us, as peace
delegates. We feared Colonel House,
but our armistice delegates, am told,
found him entirely reasonable and
only desiring to understand why we
advocated points before agreeing to
them. 1t will remove weight from
our minds if President Wilson proves
equally reasonable. Statesmen who
would agree to waive indemnities and
not punish Germans could remain in
Office neither in Britain, France nor
Italy"
Such is the summary of an hours
conversation with British leader on
his opinion, The words are not his, al
though it. has been endeavored to give
his tone and sense accurately.
Comment Is Restrained
Remarkable restraint is noticeable
in press and public comment on Presi-
dent Wilson's visit. Washington and
New York accounts of Congressional
and press disapproval are published
without comment.

political Importance. How do you

On August 6, 1915. after John Il. Nc
Leans death, Dr. Fuehr, in one of his
frequent reports to Berlin on the atti-
tude Of the American press, wrote that
"The Washington Post" which has
been most friendly, seems fairly on the
way to join our enemies" This, he
declared, WAS due to the influence of
the Russian Ambassador, because,
since the death Of the elder Mclean,
the control was in the hands Of his
son, who was nephew of Nine. Bakh-
metieff, wife of the ambassador. She
was supposed to "have great influence
over him."

The document was IL cipher letter
from Bernstortf to the German Foreign
Office, dated October 27. 1915, in which
he commented that the accounts for
the last two quarters would show sums

had founded weekly paper in Wash

ploring the death Of John K. Mclean,
