Pope Benedicts pontificate. when
traced through the state papers
which emanated from the vatican
during his reign, shows remarkable
political progress and indefatigable
efforts for peace during the war.
There are now twenty-five nations
at the Vatican by Official ministers,
including both France and Great
Britain. which before thes war were
not represented. Further. there are
representatives of the Vatican in
Paris and London. which posts were
not occupied before the war.
The first encyclical issued by Pope
Benedict, on November II, 1914. was
an appeal for peace. 1t was fol-
lowed by another appeal in the form
of an allocution to the Christmas
greeting of the cardinals in Rome

STRESSES POETS
VALUE IN HISTORY

Poets have done more to perpet-
uate characters of history than his
torians, DR.. C. Alfonso Smith, head
of the department of English of the
United States Naval Academy told
District public speakers yesterday
at the annual meeting of the Teach
ers' Institute.
DR.. Smith pointed to Longfellow's
"Paul Revere" and Shakespeare
"Caeser," as illustrations of his
point, declaring both men were
known today in the minds of the
public through the poems more than
through history.

HERMAN BARELY
DEFEATS NOVICE

NEW YORK, Jan. 2O-Babe Her
man, Jack Dempsey's feather
weight sparring partner. had a
very bitter forty-fve minutes in
the ring with novice, Connie
Reisler, tonight in Madison Square
Garden and barely outpointed the
boy after twelve awkward but
earnest rounds OF fighting and rope
jumping.
Herman is the little Portland
slugger picked up by Dempsey to
bump the featherweight jewelry
from the ~graying locks of old
Johnny Kilbane. but Herman seems
to have slipped since he spared
with Dempsey at Atlantic City, for
his aim was bad and even when he
planted three of his mightiest
right swings on the jaw of the
youngster, Reisler simply slipped
out from under and hurled himself
back at Herman as though not hurt
by the blows.
In the semifinals. Cloney TAFT,
lightweight champion Of Canada,
outclassed and outboxed Tim Dro-
ney, of Lancaster. TAFT opened a
cut over Droney's left eye, and the
flow of blood seemed to bother
Droney, impairing his vision.

Fight Notes.

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-The Jack
Britton- Dave Shade bout for the
welterweight championship, sched
uled to be tough tat Madison Square
Garden Januayr 81, has been post
poned until February II. During
the course of training for the bout
Rritton injured his foot, which be-
came infected. Upon examination
by DR.. Walker. the club physician,
late today. II was discovered Britton
was suffering from a bad case OF
blood poisoning. which will prevent
him training for at least two weeks,
Tex Richard may sign Charley
White and Willie jackson as a sub
stitute attraction, or II may be that
the Dundee-Ben jamin contest will
be brought forward to January 81.
Tex Richard was perturbed today
by the cabled report that Georges
Carpenter had signed to meet TED
Lewis. the former American well
terweight champion, for a bout in
London In April. The promoter has
about given up figuring on the
Frenchman coming here for his
proposed bout with Tom Gibbons
which Richard planned for next
July at the arena in Jersey City.
Unless Carpenter changes his mind
about making these additional en-
gagements Tor England. he may be
entirely passed up by Richard. If
Carpenter should chance to lose
one of those fights with Lewis or
any boxer Of that stripe. all invita-
tons to Georges would be cancelled
forthwith.
IT appears Kid Norfolk and Harry
Wills will be : brought together
soon in the Garden for a bout for
the colored heavyweight champion
ship. Leo Flynn, for Norfolk. has
come through with the announce
ment that he stands ready to send
in his squat black man against the
gigantic Wills. 1t ought to make
good fight. although Norfolk
would be compelled to ,concede Wills

POPE BENEDICTPERSISTENT
PLEADER IN PEACE CAUSE
twenty-five Nations Now Represented at
Vatican by Official Ministers.

wpr, in August, 1915, Pope Bene-
dict. not discouraged by the failure
of his previous efforts to end the
ton to all powers at war, urging
them to end the conflict. and plead
ing for mutual respect and tolera-
tion.
Pleaded for Jews.
The next peace effort was that of
December. 1915. when the Pope
stated at the consistory in Rome:
"A settlement must be reached; 1t
is absolutely necessary that DO
sides make concessions with good
grace, even at some sacrifice, as con-
tinuation of the war might near
the beginning of the decadence of
Europe"
At the behest Of a committee of
distinguished American Jews, In
Guiding Louis Marshall. Jacob
Schiff, Leo We'll, of Cincinnati. and

his voice in protest against the per-

relations by the law of love.
A letter was addressed to the
German bishops alone. in 1915. de-
ploring the war and instruct
ing them to do all in their power
to bring about peace.
Regarded rs Progressive.
Pope Benedict inherited from the
reign of Pope Plus another bad sit
uation in Mexico and turned his
attention to the affairs of Catholics
in that country. with occasional
letters to the Mexican bishops.
Prior to the war and until the
collapse of the ro-Hungarian
Empire the Vatican had only one
representative in Central Europe.
the Papal nuncio at Vienna. But
with the partition of the monarchy
into a group of nations places were
made for six such representatives
who are now in office.
Benedict probably will be rated
very progressive Pope not only
for his conduct of office. but also
for such acts as his admission of
the movies to the Vatican, ever per-
hitting himself to be filmed, which
Pope Plus had never done. =
Deplored Divoppe Evils.
High Catholic church men
thought the Pope. in recognition OF
his influence and of his work for
peace. might have been permitted

of Versailles.
One of the most interesting doc
uments of Pope Benedicts reign
was an encyclical issued in May,
1921 deploring such evils as divorce
and referring his people to the life
OF st. Joseph and the Workshop of
Nazareth as examples respectively
OF family life and of the dignity
