4 IS GERMANYS TRADE OUTLET London April 17 Is It peace A letter to jPope Benedict by Hall Calne printed simultaneously In London and AmericaJts in part as follows Ypur PoUness As the humblest Catholic may approach your holiness with any petition that is sincere I trust it may be permitted to an English writer whose name may be quite unknownf to you to express the grave fear of jnany non Catholics in allied Countries that your holiness recent appeal to America in relation to the present war may have spiritual effects the reverse of what you desire In the first place wo ask your holl negs would not peace obtained at moment jof such uncertainty as the present Ije merely the peace of drawn battlej and does not the history of man show that such a peace solving nothing riot even the question of strength and leaving all moral questions untouched intensifies the evils of war by driving the Jealousy that envy and hatred brought underground to be nourished there for other fiercer outbreaks Belgium Shows Path of Honor Next we think that peace Imposed upon the warrins nations at this moment would be a deep Injury to their moral nature Let us look at Belgium first ecause her case is the clearest She might have escaped the horrors of war whjch has devastated her territory if alie had accepted Germany conditions jr she might haveput up a momentary resistance and allowed the enemy to have her will of her rather than surfer loss of blood and treasure She did neither Belgium saw the line of honor and followed it at the cost of waste off her country and ruin of her people Pan she now without utter spiritual degradation added to her physical downfall accept the peace of drawn battle which leaves unsettled the question whether she did right or wrong We think not Britains Duty tonight Next take the case of Great Britain We too 1 might have escaped suffering if we had accepted the infamous offer of Germany to trade with her oyer our neutrality We did hot When we drew the sword we were not thinking of out own safety although that too was involved Reports of German danger had left us cold and even the peril of France was not yet fully known tous out wnen we realized that the weaker natknvwhom we had pledged ourselves to protect was to be overrun by Its powerful neighbor who was also pledged to protect her we found the line of duty clear Therefore if now we are to be called upon by America backed by the prayers of the holy father to make peace before the great alms we are fighting for have been attained and if we consent to do so what will be the moral effect upon our people It will be the effect of a blow on our souls How About Germany Next take our principal enemy Germany It may be difficult for Englishmen to jlnterpret the German soul but can It be questioned that for the past 40 years the dominant policy of Germany has been to develop the power of war What then la to become of a nation nurturedj on such Ideals if it is compelled or constrained or oven induced to accept the peace of a drawn battle now before it has worked Its will on the world Will Its militarism be annihilated and the arrogance of its brute strength be crushed Will it hate Its enemies any the less Next take America We think we see why your holiness Is looking to America to Intervene The United States has already made an immense contribution to the peace of the world by showing it is possible to gather vast numbers from the nations of the earth under a single government Europe too was Impressed by the recent spectacle ofj America arresting Its immense activities and setting aside a day for prayer to God that He would vouchsafe peace to His striving children America Could Not Judge But if America were now asked to Intervene in the interests of peace to what would she address herself 7 To the moral aspects of the quarrel with which the war was begun As suredly not Its present aspect is impossible for President Wilson has just told us the world Is in confusion that neither he nor any of his countrymen has the key to It and therefore all they do Is to wait for the ultimate judgment of time Would It be even possible that America should address itself to the wide question of lawful and unlawful warfare We think not Rightly or wrongly although Its jiress has spoken out wltti just and noble Indignation America as a responsible government has ben silent while priests have been massacred while nuns have been violated while defenseless honcombatants have Seen murdered and hence she eoul4 not now with any countenance confront the problems which xoncern belligerent nations to humanity Finally look at the effect on religion Spiritual Blow to Humanity Our religion has taught us that Gods rways are sure that He rules the world jn righteousness andthat therefore might must in the long run be right because God himself la almighty What then Is to happen to a world whlchjsees that that great war sweeping armies and men into unnumbered graves bringing misery to millions of women and children has been stopped before It has attained any other results For these reasons among others your holiness we of the allied nations think Jthatipeace proclaimed now would be a premature peace and therefore a spiritual blow to humanity which the soul of man would not recover from perhaps In a thousandyears HALL CAINE THRIILEB i BY TITLED DANCER SHELL EGYPTIAN

former colonial secretary of the German em pllre was read at a mass meeting here tonight at which the German side of the European war was set forth Dr Dernburg laid stress upon the German fight for an open sea and asserted that the advantages accruing to Germany for permanently retaining the land which it has taken in Europe could be disregarded If all the other German demands especially a guaranteed free sea were fully compiled with in making peace and the natural com merclal relations of Belgium to Germany were considered in a just and workable form Dr Dernburgs letter in part follows Disclaims World Empirel I can with full authority disclaim any ambition for my country for world dominion She is much too modest on the one hand and too experienced on the other not to know that such a state will never be tolerated hy the rest The aim of Germany is to have the seas as well as the narrows kept permanently open for the free use of all nations In times of war as well as In times of peace I personalty would even go as far as to neutralize all the seas and narrows permanently by a common and effective agreement guaranteed by all the powers A free 8ea a useless except combined with frredom of cable and mall communication I should like to see all the cable jointly owned by the interested nations and a world mail system oversea established by common consent Bought Belgium With Blood Germany does not strive for territorial aggrandizement In Europe she does not believe in conquering and subjugating unwilling nations Belgium com mands the main outlet of western German trade is the natural foreland of the empire and has been conquered with untold sacrifice of blood and treasure It offers to German trade theonly outlet to an open sea and has been politically established maintained and defend ed by England in order to keep these natural advantages from Germany So Belgium cannot be given up However these considerations could be disregarded if all the other German demands especially a guaranteed free sea were fully complied with and the natural commercial relations of Bel glum to Germany were considered In a just and workable form In this easa Germany will not rail when the time comes to help rebuilding the country in fact she is doing so now In concluding Dr Dernburg wrote A permanent peace will mean that German activity must geta wide scope without

Maryland Nueve Chapelle France April 17 The ground to the west of this now shattered town of Nueve Chapelle from which the British drove the Germans in the middle of March with such terrible loss of life for both sides is literally cobbled with German skulls The dead lie burled in shallow graves everywhere and the vicinity is strewn with wreckage arid debris The British have made it as tidy as they can but beneath many of the trenches and dugouts 6 Inches of bayonet will meet the resistance of cloth and human flesh while in the No Mans Land between the new British line and the German trenches to the east bodies still lie thick Dare Not Remove Bodies 4 Neither the Germans nor the British dare attempt to remove the corpses arid unless some situation develops to alter the relative positions of the opposing lines they are likely still to be there when summer comes Many of the trenches and dugouts where the men live unwillingly harbor the bodies of thousands of men which were covered with earth after the British rush Many have been burfed by both the Germans and the British and white crosses today dot the landscapes be tween the lines So quickly did the British break through the German line that full details of the action are only now becoming known even to the men who participated The suddenness of the advance was such that many of the men were so dazed that all they knew was that they got through In fact the British staff officers laughingly assert that It was too quick for the best results the German llrte giving way so suddenly that the British found themselves like a man who hits his opponent with allihls might andencounters but slight resistance and is thereby thrown off his balance Sure of Their Own Prowess If we had had a chance for it that day I believe we could have taken An bers also and perhaps Lille said one officer with a smile At any rate we gave the Germans their worst drubbing of the war and the effect all along our front has been incalculable Every man In the British army believes sincerely we could break the German line If we wanted to and that is a mighty comfortable feeling The average soldier is of course British forces from Tpres to La Basse The correspondent was entertained on the British front by an officer In his dugout Men from the trenches oblivious of the shells swishing overhead streamed from the tenches eager to gather souvenirs and to take part in entertaining the visitors They swarmed about the entrance to the dugout until the officer in a tone of fath erly annoyance cried out Get down there you chaps or you will have the Germans tossing a shell among us German Bullets Reversed weary of trench warfare and he will be elad when it Is all over but Nueve Chapelle has acted like a tonic on the I did not regard them top lightly During the Informal conversation one private exhibited a German cartridge frorii which the bullet had been withdrawn and then reinserted with the square end out He said they had found quantities of cartridges so treated and that they made bad wounds Another man made reference to the story that theGer mans were using shells of American manufacture projectiles marked as hav lng been manufactured In the United States having been found While the party of visitors sat viewing the ruins of Neuve Chapelle and tracing the Una of the old German trenches which easily could be distinguished due to the fact that the Germans Used blue sand bags a German shell struck and exploded not far to the right The group ducked but no one moved otherwise This shell was followed quickly by another and the third struck the edge of the roof of the dug out making the utensils Inside clatter and dance and showering the now crouching party with mud Tea on the Firing Line The officer in Charge thereupon suggested tea inside the dug out The invitation was accepted Excellent tea was passed around for the British soldiers especially the officers want tea on the firing line as much as at home Every man was clean shaved and although many had not had a real bath In a week all looked clean and neat During the tea and energetic young offioer ventured outside Soon he came back smiling and holding a sliver of Iron in his hand Here is a piece of the last shell to explode he said It Is still warm Keep it with my compliments as a souvenir The shells the Germans were using against this trench were of comparatively small caliber The Englishmen call them pip squeaks In spite of this contemptuous name they are not really ignored One pip squeak could easily kill 25 men or more if it hit right and troops in the trenches Constantinople Aprils 17 Tou understand I am7 merely the representative of the government and therefore am in no position to

last sortie of the de fenders cost the latter a loss of 5000 In killed and 5000 in wounded The garrison of Przemysl which surrendered consisted of 34000 combatants of all ranks the population of the
