PAPAL ENCYCLICAL.
PLEADING FOR PEACE.
(Press Assn.— By Telegraph— Copyright.. ROME^ Nov. 17. The Pope lias issued his first Encyclical, which says : "The spectacle of blood and misery has 1 induced me to harden the last words of my predecessor and begin my ministry praying to princes and people to end tHus patricidal war. I pray God that my Pontifical voico of peace may resound through the entire world." Regarding the existing conditions of the Church and humanity, he declared they are due to a lack of sincere mutual love amongst men, a disrespect for authority, injustice subsisting m class relations, and a tendency to make material welfare the aim of life. He will devote his entire Pontificate to overcoming this menace to society. He concludes with a protest against Italy depriving the Papacy of its political liberty.
