WASHINGTON, Nov. l3.--"The war

GREAT OBSTACLES
MAY Defer FINAL
PEACE CONGRESS
Liquidation Of Four Years
Struggle May Be Withheld
Many Months as Great and
Vital Issues Must Be Settled
BY FRANK II. SIMONDS.
The News SclnItar's Military Expert.


NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-The actual
signing Of the armistice opens the way
to that peace congress Of which the
world has been talking for the past four
years. In that period there has been
a growing appreciation of the fact that
a general settlement. comparable In Its
magnitude to that OF Vienna in 1915,
was inevitable when at last the time
came to liquidate the present struggle.
What has never been properly per
ceived In this country is the magni-
tude Of the task and the obstacles
which make 1t almost inevitable that
many, many months will elapse before
the signatures are written under the
definitive document
After the first abdication of Ma
poleon, the victorious allies met In
Vienna in November to reconstruct Eu-
rope. They were still In session when
Napoleon returned from Elba in the
following March, and they fingered
until June 9 before they signed the
final treaty. Nor would this settle
ment have come had It not been be
cause of the pressure Of events. 1t
was Napoleon who in reality made any
agreement possible at Vienna by re-
storing unity of purpose to his enc
mics, who were beginning to be sep
arated by conflicting ambitions
Thus, In the case of the last general
settlement In Europe much more than
a year divides the actual ending Of
the hostilities from the signing of the
final settlement. In the interim there
had been signed a treaty between
France and her enemies, the treaty OF
Paris executed promptly after Ma
poleons first abdication, but a second
treaty OF Paris, following the second
abdication, was not signed until Nov. 80.
Thus the settlement hung fire over
all the period from April 7, 1914. to
Nov, 30, 1875

THE LIBRARY OF LOUVAIN

capacity of member of the General
Council of the University of Louvain,
begs the support of the Holy See for
the reconstruction of the Library of
that University.
Il have much pleasure in announc-
ing that the Supreme Pontiff, who al
ways takes deep interest in the well
fare of his dear children in Belgium,
while expressing the hope that the
belligerents in the heat of the struggle
will respect the safety of the scientific
and literary treasures of each coun-
try, will be pleased to contribute with
all the means in his power to the res
toration of a library which contains
SO many precious treasures of litera-
ture. It's restoration will be of the
greatest advantage to the intellectual
culture and civilization of Belgium and
of the whole world.
With the purpose of encouraging
and faVoring so praiseworthy an en-
terprise his Holiness has deigned to
order that not only the publications
of the Vatican Library, but also all
other available works, be set apart for
Louvain. At the same time the Holy
Father, desiring in this to follow the
does not exclude other ways which
may afterwards enable him to aid so
excellent work and to show his zeal
for the progress of science and the
preservation of the literary patrimony
Of the human race.
"At present beg to inform your ex-
cellency that a catalogue of the above
mentioned works will be sent without
delay and the works themselves sent
as circumstances permit" "A
More recently still the Pope inter-
vened anew in favor of Louvain. Mgr.
Ladeuze, rector of the university, in
formed his Holiness that the Ger
mans proposed to possess themselves
of all the metal work, in the institute
and to use the place as a hospital.
The former measure especially would
be serious damage to the labora-
tories and other parts of the institute.
The Holy Father Immediately wrote
to Cardinal Hartmann, Archbishop of
Cologne, expressing his desire that
the University of Louyain should be
preserved from further damage. Tie
Cardinal treated at once with the gov
ernor, but could only get him to agree
in part to what the Pope wanted. He
consented to forego the taking of the
metal work, but he would not give
promise that the place would not be
used hereafter as a hospital. Such
is the interest taken by the Pope in
the University of Louvain. If he
has not succeeded in obtaining all he
asked for, it is to be hoped that the
future will change matters, and the
benefactors of Louvain will be in
position to see their desires realized.

AT TRINITY COLLEGE
GREETINGS TO cARDINAL-sUP.

We're presented to the Cardinal by

War work activity in Trinity has
been more enthusiastic than ever be-
fore. The Fourth Liberty Loan Drive
at the College registered the sum of
$4,150. Even more credit is due the
girls for their support of the United
War Work Campaign, since this work
is not an investment of the same kind
as the Liberty Bonds. The latter
drive lasted one week in which the
inter-class socials, vaudeville enter
tainments, and swimming exhibitions
brought in small sums. A patriotic
rally was held on November 13.
Right Reverend Bishop Shahan, Rec
tor of the Catholic University of
America, delivered the opening appeal.
His address was followed by eonvinc-
ing arguments in support of the
movement, by Rev John Burke, C. S.
P, and by Rev. William Kerby, LII. D.
In the spirited rally that followed, the
students subscribed $3.9O9.
