Pope Benedict Spent Much
Time in Preaching g the
Gospel Of Peace

Pope Benedict's efforts toward
peace were thus summed up by
Cardinal Logue: During the late
war. every effort was made to in
duce the Pope to side with one
beliigerent or another. but he went
straight as an arrow. He made
justice and right triumph over op.
preston.
There was not one OF President
Wilson's II points that was not in

The Pope was deeply grleved by
the conflict which resulted from
efforts to obtain Ireland's freedom.
He was appealed to intervene In
behalf OF the Irish Republican
movement, but Archbishop Hayes
on returning from the Vatican in
1921, said that he was following
the policy Of neutrality and Impair.
tiality. He condemned crime in
Ireland by either side and repeat
edly expressed the hope that vio-
lence there would end.
{ In a letter to Cardinal Logue.
the Pope appealed to both English
and Irish to abandon violence and
proposed that the'Irish question be
settled by a body selected by the
whole Irish nation. When the
Irish was at; last settled, the Pope
expressed great satisfaction and
sent a message to the Dali Eireann
rejoicing over the treaty which
made ireland "a free state.
Pope Benedict declined in May
1919. to authorize the Catholic
church to participate IN a.Syorld
conference Of religions which had
been proposed TO him by a group
of bishops Of the protestant epis.

SIGNAL CORPS
 MAY BE MOVED
 SEWARD SOON

Advices received here from Seat tie on one of the last boats states that the headquarters of the First di- vision of the WashingtOn-Alaska Mill tary cable and telegraph system may be moved to Seward some time this year and will occupy quarters in the Federal building where the local of flee is now located. It was stated that Colonel Seaone at the head of the system is anxious to make the trans fed, owing to better facilities here for reaching the interior and the fact that the signal corps will take over the operation of the telegraph system of the government railway,
 The local office is> an unusually large building and would comfortably house the personnel of the system, leaving fine offices for the quarter master corps and transportation crews. In case the appropriation is made for a new cable the line will run direct to Seward instead of to Val dez as at the persent time, and Val dez will be a branch line. Since the completion of the Government rail way, business in the Seward office is increasing by leaps and bounds, while a rapid depreciation has been shown in the Valdez to Fairbanks showing a great deficit. It is also stated that in case Seward is made headquarters the line from Valdez to Fairbanks with it's extra expense will be aban- doned.
 The personnel of the signal corps comprises about fifty men with their families, the men being the best paid in the army and all fine fellows. It will add nearly one hundred persons to Stewards population, of very de sirable class. Captain Parsons and wife will probably be in Seward some time the latter part of this month Captain Parsons is i'll charge Of the First Division and is one of the most popular officers ever sent to Alaska Seward Gateway.

 EVERYBODY HAPPY
 As result every one leaves the Presidential presence filled with a glow of good feeling, not to mention the smattering of patriotism that somehow, despite the rush and crush of business that envelops the White House Executive Office, persists in prevailing the atmosphere of the great white mansion, whose corridors have echoed to the tread of Wilson, Roosevelt, Grant and the peerless Lincoln.
 If courtesy and patience are virtues which parents and school teachers throughout the land seek to instill in the budding generation, they could find no greater schoolhouse of cour- tesy and patience than that which is maintained at the White House by the faculty" of secretaries, guards, secret service men and attaches.
