HAD FILLED HIGH POSITIONS
CounseIs Before His Elevation
to the PapaI Throne.

Pope Benedict XIV rose to the su-
preme head of the Catholic church
Sept. 6, 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. 21,
1854 His 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
was secretary Of the nunciature in
Spain. In 1901 he was appointed con-
sultor Of the holy Office and In 1907
Pope Plus gave him the appointment
Of archbishop Of the see of Bologna.
He was made a 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 filled
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,
1916, he repeated his attempts and in
May of the same year suggested that
America should act as conciliator 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 ap-
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
belligerent rulers to end the struggle.
During the peace conference his pleas
were issued in behalf Of weaker ma
tions.
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 7OO-year-old
Irish problem was received with great
pleasure by the pope, who issued
message congratulating the principals
in the negotiations.

trying to say TO its readers is that
there is no use to get excited about
the political aspirations of these
gentlemen. 1t is safe to hazard the
statement, that, regardless of which
one is chosen, the county's affairs will
move along in the same way. It is
generally agreed that there can be
