«
Writing d'lrect to Rev. Father H. A.

Pope Benedict XV. issues a com
munication of Intense Interest to the
world in which the head of the great
Roman Catholic church instructs its
two hunderd and fifty million follow
ers on "The duty of the Roman Cath
olic church and her priests In the
present crisis."
The letter from the Vatican will be
read at 11 o'clock mass on Sunday
next and Its contents are eagerly
awaited. Pope Benedict XV. has re
frained from expressing the opinion
I of the Vatican on the world's war
| until this time. This opinion will be
given out throughout the Roman Oath,
ullc churches of the civilized world
and should have a material effect.
Rev. Father Post is also In receipt
of a letter from the Catholic arch
bishops of the United States Ih which
they express their opinion as to the
attitude of the Roman Catholic
church in the war with Germany.
During the time congress was de
bating on the war resolution the Ho
man Catholic cnrdtnals of the United
States met in conference in Washing- •
ton, D. C. there to await the result.
The following were present: Cardinals
Gibbons. O'Connell, Ireland, Lennon,
Messmer, Moeller, Hanna and Mun
delein.
When the war resolution had pass
ed both houses and was signed by the '
president the conference,of cardinals
In session passed resolutions of the
strongest nature endorsing the ac- »
tlon of the president and corigrcss and
pledged the undivided support of the
Homan Catholic church of the United
States.
Their action was extremely gratify
ing to the nation and to the civilised
world. Hev. Father l’ost will also

price of the metal appears an excellent
augury that the very near future will
witness the opening and development
of the vast tin areas in the York dis

posits on the American continent and
practically ail are located near Cape
Prince of Wales. In ihia connection It
may be stated that the failure of the
American Tin Mining Co. of Duck
creek, to secure transportation for a
portion of last years’ product will
result in about fortw-two tons of tin
concentrates being shipped out within
the coming month.
