PRAYERS FOR PEACE
ASKED FOR BY POPE APPEAL TO BELLIGERENTS. AGAINST USE OF MORE DEADLY INSTRUMENTS. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day. 11.5 a.m.) ROME. April 13. Describing the war as atrocious, the Pope, in an Easter broadcast to the world, appealed to belligerents to refrain from using even more deadly instruments. Already, he said, one must lament the fact that limits on what might reasonably have been permissible in a just war had been repeatedly exceeded. The Pope referred to the sufferings of women and children, the sick and aged, who were often exposed to greater dangers than soldiers at the front, and asked for prayers for peace —not a peace of oppression and destruction of nations, but one which, guaranteeing the honour of all nations, would satisfy vital necessities and the legitimate rights of all.
