AMERICAN DIPLOMATIC
RELATIONS WITH VATICAN
Were Maintained for Twenty Years In
Our History, 184s-1868-WiII They
Be Restored After War?
Civil War Moves To
Influence Vatican.

One Of the probable results of the
great world war will be the return of
the Holy Father to his rightful place
as sovereign in the general council
of the nations, says Thomas +. Nee
han, in Records and Studies, the Off
cial publication of the United States
Catholic Historical Society. Already
rights shall be restored where they
have been sighted. and that direct
communication with the Vatican be re-
established by those governments
where for some years it has been
broken Off. Direct diplomatic inter-
course between the Government of the
United States and the Pope is neither
novel nor unprecedented in our his
tory
An investigation of the official regis
ter of the State Department at Wash
ington gives the following list of the
diplomatic representatives of the
United States at the court of the
Pope:
Jacob L. Martin, North Carolina,
confirmed as charge d'affaires April z,
l84S. Died at post Aug. 26, 1S4S.
Lewis Cass, Jr., Michigan, charge
d'affaires Jan. 5, 1S49. Minister Resi-
dent, June 20, 1854. Presented cre-
dentials as such Nov. 8, 1854. Took
leave Nov. 27, 1858.
John P. Stockton, New Jersey, Com
missioned Minister Resident June is,
1858. Took leave May %, 1861.
Alexander w. Randall, Wisconsin,
Commissi Jned Minister Resident Aug.
6, 1861. lsft post about Aug. 4, 1862.
Richard M. Blatchford, New York.
Commissioned Minister Resident Aug.
8, 1862. Left post and resigned in
United States Oct. 6, 1868.
Rufus King, Wisconsin. Commits
stoned Minister Resident Oct. z, 1868.
Was previously commissioned March
''22, 1861, but declined. Left post Au-
gust, 1867. Resigned in the United
States Jan. 1, 1868.
The temporal power of the Pope
having been usurped at this period the
legation has since lapsed, but, as can
trations Of Presidents Polk, Taylor,
| Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan, Lincoln,
! and Johnson, and Immediately subject
in it's direction to such notable Secre-
taries of State as James Buchanan,
John M. Clayton, Daniel Webster, Ed,
ward Everett, William L. Marcy, Lew
is Cass, Jeremiah S. Black and Will.
liam H. Seward
Mention might also be made in this
connection of the diplomatic mission
to Rome undertaken in the interest OF
the Union during the Civil War by
Archbishop Hughes, at the instance OF
President Lincoln and Secretary Sew
ard. The counter-move made by Ju
dah P. Benjamin, the Confederate Sec
retary of State, in having Bishop
Lynch of Charleston run the blockade
and journey to Rome in vain effort
to obtain recognition Of the Confed
crate States is another indication that
diplomatic connection" with the Vati
can is no novelty in our history.

WHITE BOOK is NOW UNDER
PROCESS OF PREPARATION

The Holy Sees white book now un-
der preparation probably will be pub
lished in the early spring. It will be
voluminous, containing all the diplo-
amtic efforts and correspondence of
the Vatican since the beginning of the
war; and particularly Pope Benedict's
peace note, allocutions and the argu-
ments Of the Papal views as to the set
tlement of all wars. The white book
also will contain copies of the writ
ings and speeches of President Will
son and other public men, and the
documents of all the powers support
ing the Papal attitude. In addition
the book will review the humanitarian
work of Pope Benedict in connection
with war prisoners and the peoples
of invaded territory

PRAISE FOR CATH
OLIC GENERAL.

In a recent issue of "The Congre-
gationalist" there is an interesting
letter from Rev. DR.. Jefferson, pastor
of Broadway Tabernacle, N. Y, in
which he relates interesting incidents
of camp life at Spartansburg, S. c.,
and speaks in high tribute of General
O'Ryan, of New York, as follows:
"The moral condition of the camp is
excellent. 1t is not perfect. This is
not a perfect world. A perfect camp
in an imperfect world would be dis
concerting. Not a little of the moral
standing at Camp Wadsworth is due
to the strength and convictions of
General O'Ryan. He is a Catholic and
l am a Protestant, and l want to put
a laurel wreath upon his head. He

A largely attended and very enthu siastic meeting of the committee from the Council of National Defense and the sub-committees in charge of the Fourth Liberty loan drive was held last night, and the work of the cam paign which begins tomorrow was mapped out.
 The quota for Cordova and the Cop per River valley for the Fourth Lib erty loan has been fixed at $1l9.200. That is the amount our people are to buy of the total which must be sold f the government is to successfully finance during the next few months our part in the terrible conflict the kaiser and his hordes have brought upon the world.
 Of course the people of COrdova are going to buy that amount, and the only question is how much more and how quickly are we going to do il?
 Cordova people are going at this bond buying proposition in just the same way that our Cordova boys are going at the Heinies in France. We are not going to wait until the fight is over before we get into it, and we are not going to stop at the fixed ob jective of $l19.2OO, any more than our boys stop when they reach the first German trench or German machine gun nest.
 We are going ;o put Cordova dollars back of Cordova boys and let them work together. so that in the end the world may be a decent place to live in"
