HAD FILLED HIGH POSITIONS
Pope Benedict Prominent In Church
counseis Before HIs Elevation
to the Papal Throne.

Pope Benedict XIV rose to the su"
preme head of the Catholic church
Sept 9, 1914, less than six months
after he was elevated to the cardinal
ship. He was born OF noble parents
at PoglI. near Genoa, Italy, Nov. p,
1854. Ills father was Marquis Della
Chiesa.
Educated at Capronican college and
the Academy of Ecclesiastics, he was
ordained to the priesthood In 1878,
He was taken to Madrid, Spain, by
Cardinal Rampolla, and for four years
WINS secretary OF the nunclature in
Spnin. In 1901 he was appointed con-
stlltor OF the holy office and In 1907
Pope Plus gave him the appointment
Of archbishop of the see Of Bologna.
He was made cardinal In May, 1914.
saddened by Horrors Of War.
Pope Benedict was much affected by
the horrors and sorrow of the World
war and many times tried to bring
about peace negotiations. Germany's
violation Of Belgium's neutrality filed
him with great sorrow and after the
sinking OF the Lusitania. he telegraph
ed the German emperor telling his
adherence OF the deed.
Pope Benedict's first appeal for
peace was issued one week after his
coronation. The appeal failed TO bring
results, as did also his later plan for
"a Christmas truce. In January and In
July. 1915, he again tried to bring
about peace negotiations. In March.
1915. he repeated his attempts and in
May OF the same year suggested that
America shouIa act as conclliator be-
tween the warning nations. His note
to President Wilson to this effect
reached Washington when Germany
and the United States were involved
In diplomatic crisis. The Vatican APP
proved of President Wilson's peace
note in 1917. but three months later
the United States entered the war
Made Appeal for Peace.
The Pope's most memorable appeal
for peace was issued In his own hand
writing on August 8, 1917. and asked
belllgerent rulers to end the struggle.
During the peace conference his pleas
were issued In behalf OF weaker ma
tons.
Just before the conference President
Wilson had private conference with
Pope Benedict at the Vatican in which
many questions of social and inter-
national nature were discussed.
The settlement of the I00-year-old
Irish problem was received with great
pleasure by the pope, who issued a
message congratulating the principals
In the negotiations.

SHANTUNG ISSUE
IN UPPER HOUSE:
WALSH DEMAND FOR lNFoRMA.
TON ON CONFERENCE cRfTi-
CIsED BY UNDERWOOD
Lodge Aisc Opposes Injection OF
Matter into Senate as Dan
Herous Proceedings; Trouble
ls Expected

Washington, 1.-The Shantung c0ntro
versy. which played such an important
part In the defeat OF the Versailles
treaty, stalked into the senate Friday
to menace ratification OF the various
pacts growing out of the armament
conference.
Senator Walsh Of Montana, Demo.
crat, introduced resolution designed
to bring the Shantung dispute, now
raging between the japanese and
Chinese delegates, into the open. The
resolution called upon President Hard.
ing to furnish the senate with the
facts concerning the situation. Sem
ator Walsh declared that failure to
adjust the difference between Japan
and China would endanger ratification
of the four-power pact and other
agreements resulting from the confer
ence.
Senator Lodge, Republican leader,
and Senator Underwood, Democratic
leader, delegates to the conferences,
both happened to be in the senate
when Senator Walsh introduced the
resolution.
They moved promptly and In perfect
unison 10 squelch it. Each made a
speech opposing action on the mea.
sure at this time.
General debate ensued, In which Mr.
Lodge and Mr.. Underwood undertook
to lay before the senate clear view
of the situation now before the con
ference. The debate brought out these
salient facts.
That the conference is unable to
conclude its work because OF the Shan
tung issue.
That the American delegation keen,
iy appreciates the Importance pf II
settlement of the Shantung question
and that 1t realizes failure to set
tie would adversely affect prospects
of ratification Of the various pacts.
That Japan is unwilling to permit
other nations to intervene In the con.
troyersy, and, under the terms Of the
Versailles treaty, other nations are
powerless to compel Japan to submit
me shantung question to plenary
session.
That the delegates have high hopes
that settlement of the Shantung
question will be reached.
Senator Lodge told the senate the
American delegation had made every
effort to use its good offices In behalf
Of China. but that impenetrable har.
riers had been set up by the Yer.
sailles pact.
