POPE DENOUNCES ACTS
OF BELLI6ERENTS
PAKIS, June 22.—Id a Libertie toda>
published an interview with Pope
Benedict in which tile pontiff expresses
bis grief and disapproval of the acts
of the warring nations in unrestrained
manner. Among other things, the pope
said; “The shot so ruthlessly tired at
the Ulieims cathedral was felt in in;
heart." Speaking of the Lusitania he
•aid: "I do not know of any more
freightful transaction and i cannot ex
press my grief to see our generation
a prey to such horrors as are now be
ing witnessed.” The blockade of the
German const by the allies was also
severely denounced, the pope declaring
that an act which threatened to bring
the non-combatant population of the
German empire to the verge of misery
and famine was deserving of the se
verest condemnation. "An action such
as this cannot meet the approval of all
who have a regard for righteousness,"
declared the pope, “and in the suffering
and distress which may be brought to
I millions ut innocent people no denun
ciation however severe will lie adeq •
uate.”
Tile "Italians, Russians and all the
belligerents are offering excuses for
their conduct in violating all tlie sa
iled rights of humanity," said the pon
tiff, Imt the hour has not yet come
in which the world con disentangle the
truth front the mass of contradictory |
assertions. Tlie hope of the world is I
that the end may come soon and that
some one of tlie war mad nations may
cume to discern the right and bring an
end to tlie sorrow and distress and
suffering which is now embittering Eu
rope and the world." The pope ended
the interview by saying: “We are neu
tral. JVe wanted peace because we are
the representative of God on oarth. God
wishes at all times that there lie peace
among men.”
