EDITORIAL.
POPE BENEDICT.


Genoese trait of shrewdness in mon
ey matters
Small, frail, somewhat bent, thin
and angular, with a weak, inharmoni-
GUS voice
Yet triumphing over all of these
with the inherent force of his char
acter and mind.
That was Pope Benedict XIV (Gia-
como Della Chiesa,) dead today
in Rome, who had served as pope
since Sept. 3, 1914, when he was
chosen the 260th pope, to succeed
Plus X.
In the difficult years that he
directed the policy of the Roman
Catholic church, Benedict XIV made
relations between the Vatican and
the Italian government easier, and
took and interested part in world af-
fairs.
The revival of the Vatican as a
great power in diplomacy is the per-
sonal achievement of Benedict XIV.
During the World War he ap-
pealed to all the belligerents in be-
half of peace. He voiced his pro-
posals for ending the conflict on
four separate occasions. On the last
occasion his document called forth
the noteworthy reply from President
Wilson as spokesman for the Allies.
He was strongly in favor of the
League of Nations plans and as
strongly against communism and
bolshevism.
When America entered the World
War Pope Benedict XIV expressed a
belief that the country's participa-
ton would likely facilitate the APP
proach of world peace
After the war he declared in ia
vor of the Washington arms confer
ence.
Born in Pagli, in the diocese of
Genoa, Nov. 81; 1854, the son of a
wealthy nobleman, Benefit XIV got
thorough grounding in his boy.
hood studies. He decided to enter
the priesthood early in life and pre-
pared for it in the schools at Genoa
" In 1876 he entered the Caprani-
Can college at Rome and finally be-
came a student at the Academy of
Noble Ecclesiastics.
His studies were completed in the
last days of Pope Plus TX and he
was ordained to the priesthood in
1878, at the age of rs.
Shortly after he went to Madrid
with Archbishop Rampolla and on
MS return was made permanent
under secretary of the secretariate
Of state.
He rose rapidly from that time on,
in the ranks of the church, being
made archbishop of Bologna in 1907.
After seven years he was elevated
to the College of Cardinals.
When chosen pope, he at once
took the name of Benedict XIV. He
was crowned pope on Sept. 8, 1914,
five days after being chosen.

At Least, Works Of the English Poet

Robert Browning In French" does
not sound an altogether promising
proposition. Indeed, of all the modern
poets of England one would Imagine
that he would be the most difficult to
interpret to a foreigner. In spite of
all drawbacks, however, an interesting
selection of Browning's poems has
been made by two translators. Paul
Alfassa and Gilbert De Voisins, who
have grappled by no means unsuccess-
fully with the acknowledged difficult
ties of the "enIgmatic" poet. Mary
Duclaux writes foreword which Is to
all intents and purposes n careful
study carried out in fashion which
must be undoubtedly agreeable to
French readers. Nine. Duclaux Is not
afraid of graphing with problems
either of Interpretation or translation,
and the little book published by the
IibrairIe Graset Is an admirable ex-
ample of that difficult art of transla-
ton of which the late Mr.. Teixeria De
Mattos was an acknowledged master.
