 "The remedy of building public works is not available on large scale until spring. The farms will not call urgently for men until frost thaws out. Chiefly must we look to our manufacturers to caHy the burden. But they are hesitant. Taxes are not yet determined. The cost of money is high and credit timid for while"

commends the Chief Shepherd o
Souls In Aiding Condition
of Mankind.

A remarkable pamphlet entitled "No
Small Stir" and composed by "Diplo-
maticus," an Anglican author of repute
on political matters, has been issued
by the London Society of Saints Peter
and Paul, publishers to the Church of
England, in which the writer replies
to the great drive of unjust criticism
especially in the press of the Allied
countries attacking the Holy See for
it's alleged Prussian tendency. This
fair-minded and well-informed author
proves the real neutrality of the Holy
Father, and the entire falsity of the
issues raised by the religious brawlers
and fanatics who delight in bounding
the Papacy. In fact he proves that
their incoherent charges only result
in proving that on the whole the Holy
See has in all it's announcements been
benevolent in it's attitude towards the
cause for which the United States is
fighting. OF course, the whisperers
against the Pope, as usual, produce no
evidence but only underhand insinua-
lions according to the great axiom
that the Vatican is guilty until it is
proven innocent.
Summary Of Charges.
The charges against Papal neutral
ity are summarized as follows: (1)
The Pope has no right to remain neu-
trail in the present conflict; (2) Even
If his neutrality is pardoned, it is I'M
favorable to the Allies and favorable
to the Central Powers; (3) The Vati-
can has shut it's eyes to the wrong
done to Belgium and has plotted
against Italy; az The Vatican is in
triguing to restore the Holy Roman
Empire; (5) The ideals of the Vatican
are essentially in harmony with the
theories of Prussia, and essentially in
discord with the policy and maxims
of the Entente. Let us examine these
statements separately and see what
Pope Benedict really has said and
done about the great war.
These Charges Examined.
The Holy See has remained strictly
neutral in policy and principle through
justice and necessity, because If it
were to support any Power or group
Of Powers against their opponents, it
would be favoring one section of the
Church at the expense of another.
The very critics who cry out that the
Pope should have constituted himself
arbitrator of right and wrong in these
political questions would be the first
Indignantly to reject his Intervention
and to retort, "Who has appointed
thee Judge over us?" In fact no gov
| eminent did invite the Holy See to
arbitrate the difficulties, but on the
contrary there is good reason for be-
lieving that secret treaties exist ex-
pressly excluding any Intervention or
even peace movement on the part OF
the Head of the Catholic Church.
Moreover, an arbitrator is obliged to
make a long and impartial study Of
