PRESENT-DAY EVILS.
PAPAL ENCYCLICAL. LONDON, May 18. The British United Press correspondent at Rome states that a Papal Encyclical will be issued to-day. It appoints Corpus Christi, May 2Q, a day of prayer, and instructs the faithful to renounce on the eight succeeding days amusements and recreations as ntonement for the evils of the present day, among which the Pope enumerates atheism, Communism, corruption and exaggerated nationalism.
A STRIKING PASSAGE. Received May 19, 9 a.m. ROME, May 18. The Papal encyclical compares the present world social economics to the Biblical deluge. The encyclical contains this striking passage: “Those very few who appear to have their hands on the world’s wealth, whoso speculations were and are largely the cause of so much woe, are often themselves the first and most notorious victims, dragging into the abyss the fortunes of countless others.”
