That the time Is rapidly approaching whert the neutral nations must demand that the' present war be ended Is the opinion of all of the high officials of tho Vatican. Up to the present Pope Benedict has" been contenting himself with effortH to mitigate the suffering caused by- tho Wr- But during the present fast period It Is expected an effort will bo mado to determine whether concerted action by the neutrals Is not possible. The attltudo of the Vatican was set forth for the benefit ot the United States by Cardinal tjusparrl, Papal Secretary of. State:, who received an American Jour nalist In his apartments at the Vatican tpday When informed that the people of the United States were very .anxious to learn at first hand Just what Ills Holi ness was planning, he said: "Tho Holy Father appeals with alt ot his sour for the re-establlshment of pence, especially because his sons on both sides are engaged in a fratricidal struggle. "Until now the attempt to attain so MR My n Christian and humane result by personally appealing to the belligerents must Slave been doomed to certain defeat. It was because of the realization of this fact that tho Holy Father has to the present time confined himself to doing everything possible to mitigate the un happy consequences of the war. "But when the neutral Towers, anions whom you will realize the United States holds tho first place, Judge that fho mo ment has nrrlved to demand peace from the belligerents, his holiness will be most happy to exchange views on the subject. Ills entire moral Influence Is now being exerted for this sacred cause. Am! the time Is ripe now for the press of the entire world to, work upon public opinion and hasten this grcatly-to-be-dcslred moment. Tha press wields o most Powerful Influence. It must not overlook Its opportunity to forco peace now. "And the mothers and wives ot tno .entire civilized world should act. and sfiQUld act now. Regardless of national ity, all women should now unite for a great peace mpven.ent. and move It along with their prayers and their Influence. I have learned with great pleasure of the movement for peace among tho women of America, and T am hopeful that It will extend throughout the entire world. WHAT IF GERMANY WINS?
