GOV. LAKE SAYS POPE
APPEARED INSPIRED
Made Church Great Force
Against Radicolisn.

HARTFORD, Jan. 22.--Gov. Lake issued
the following statement to-day on the
death of Pope Benedict:
The regrets of a world upon the
news of the death of Pope Benedict are
not accompanied by the shock that
usually comes when great mon die. but
rather by the thought that companion
of God has gone TO join Him.
''1ie occupied his position OF great re-
sponsibility and almost immeasurable
power in days which the human in
telect would think were not attuned
TO his greatest abilities. Besought,
criticized and threatened by one after
another of the contesting nations in the
world war struggle, he seems to us to-
day to have followed an inspired path,
for he has brought forth his church to
be one of the strongest. II not the
strongest, force against destructive
radicalism. the greatest worldwide
danger of to-day"
Bishop Milan OF the Roman Catholic
diocese OF Hartford announced that he
would celebrate n pontihcal mass of
requiem for the Pope on Tuesday morn
Ing In n statement he said: "I re-
gret that his Holiness did not live to
see the fruits Of his efforts to bring
peace to the world after passing through
pontifcate which was marked by the
unusual trials OF the greatest conflict
in history"
The New York herald., 1922-01-23
BENEDICT INCREASED
PRESTIGE OF CHURCH
London Press Grateful for His
Efforts for Peace.

LONDON, Jan. 23 (Monday). - The
London morning papers generally allude
to the difficult time in the worlds his
tory Benedict XIV. had to encounter, and
for the most part agree that Benedict
succeeded in leaving the prestige OF the
Roman Church, IL anything, stronger
than he found it.
The Times thinks the world could not
but admire and be grateful for his re-
peated efforts to terminate the horrors
OF the war, but at the same time says
1t Is difficult 10 acquit him OF being
sometimes too prone to take the German
point OF view.
The Daily Ne,os is OF the opinion that
Benedict steered his course with con-
siderable discretion. as he was accused
of bias by both the German and the
allied nations.
The Daily Chronicle says he preserved
the moral prestige OF the papacy at a
difficult time and that Il is a misfortune
for the world that he has not been
spared longer to assist I'm the work of
reconciliation and rebuilding, which In
terested him so greatly.
The Morning Post recalls. the suspi-
cions OF pro-German bias in the war and
dwells especially on the silence of the
Pope regarding the invasion OF Belgium.
1t declares that when Won Bcthmann-
Hollweg cynically proclaimed that ne
cessity knew no law the Pope ought
with equal holiness. TO have replied that
there is a higher law than necessity.
I'VE trust" the Post continues, that
whoever succeeds Benedict will seek to
restore the full moral authority of the
great office. The world s sorely tried
by new forces. many Of which are forces
of materialism and darkness. and needs
every tower of strength and bulwark
