POPE P|oUS FAv0RS
WORLD PEACE IDEA
Gives Endorsement Thereto in
Letter Urging It Upon Civil
lied Nations.

Pope Pious K has in a formal let
ter given his endorsement to the
world universal peace idea and urged
it's acceptance by civilized nations.
And while 1t was to have been ex-
pected that the head Of a great Chris
tan church would give his most
hearty endorsement to such a plan,
his letter will prove a strong support
to the movement.
Not only Will the pope's letter give
strength to the peace movement
. among American Catholics, a large
number Of whom had already well
coined it, but it will give it strength
wherever the Catholic church is a
power that means throughout
the Christian world. Nor will the in
fIuence of his support reach only the
Catholics for in matters Of high Chris
tan ethics, the pope Is q power among
all high thinking people.
ITO compose differences, to re-
strain the outbreak of hostilitias, to
prevent the dangers Of war, to re-
move even the antilles Of so-called
armed peace, is indeed most praise
worthy, and any effort in this cause,
even although it may not Immediately
or wholly accomplish it's purpose,
manitests, nevertheless, a zeal which
cannot but rebound to the credit of
its authors and be a benefit to the
state" says the pope, and to that
all mon imbued with patriotism, with
love Of their fellows, with an earnest
desire for world progress will agree.
" World peace is not coming tomor-
row, now, next week, nor next year,
but every step on the lines laid down
by the advocates Of the plan and en-
dorsed by the pope, will be a step to-
ward that end.

TRIES NEW PLAN
 IN SWISS PRISON

Geneva. July S.-(Special.) )-The con- vict prison of Witzwyl, in the canton of Berne, one of the largest institu- tions of it's kind in Switzerland, has a new governor, who Is determined to introduce reforms In order to make the convict give up his daily allow ance of tobacco and stop chewing and smoking, the governor Is trying to persuade" the prisoners to exchange tobacco for chocolate of equal value; but he admits that he has not met with much success. The conduct of the convicts has much improved, however since his recent orders stopping their tobacco or chocolate in cases of dis obedience and lack of cleanliness.
 The new governor also believes that music "soothes the savage breast" and he was glad when recently four wan dering Bohemians. with guitars and violins, arrived at Witzwyl under es- cort to serve short sentence Several times a week they play in the evening ito cheer up their fellow prisoners. In this democratic country the authorities look upon the convict as a lost citizen. who with care and kindness and a little severity can be made an honest man again. There are several societies to look after discharged prisoners.

SWEDEN'S KING IS
 VERSATILE MAN
Has Many Accomplishments and Is Regarded as Most
 Democratic of Kings

Copenhagen, July s.-(Special. .)-The coronation of King George of England has overshadowed, of couress, all other royal events during the past couple of weeks, but there has just been a celebra- tion at Stockholm which should be of interest to America. It was the 53rd King Gustav of Sweden.
 The ruler of Sweden shares with the Emperor of Germany the distinction of being one of the most versatile of living monarchs. He is D. c. l.. of Oxford, and l.. l.. D. of Cambridge, Doctors of all the faculties of Vienna, and honary member of the Academies of Science of Berlin and St. Petersburg. He has the garter among his decorations, and the military schools of Sweden are under his inspection. He married about 30 years ago, Princess Victoria daughter of the latep and sister of the present, Grand Duke of Baden. Like his father, King Gustave is a good sportsman and a. splendid shot. He is regarded as the best tennis player in his tennis court many of them won against all corners and not those who gladly lose a game 10 so illustrious a parsonage.
 King Gustave is keenly interested in military affairs. It was as a soldier that he introduced some of his future subjects to his bride. "Gentlemen," he said, "the Colonel of the regiment de- sires to introduce his wife to the regi- ment" And as the coloners wife the Queen of Sweden was known many long years afterwards. Not without reason has his majesty been called the most democratic king in Europe. His court is one of the most simple and homely. The poorest of his subjects may call and speak to their sovereign with no more formality that the sending in of their names. An out-and-out abstainer, his majesty, during his crown princely days, did much by force of example to further the cause of temperance. Out of 5,00O- 900 inhabitants of his kingdom, nearly 750,000 are organized teetotalers.
 While King Oscar was on his death bed the servants in the household ap- pealed for higher wages. Their complaint got to the ears of the then crown prince Many another man would have relegated the matter to the head of his household. No so the prince. He called meeting of the dissatisfied buffers and footmen and chambermaids and the rest of them around the room. He took the chair and astonished them all by asking each in turn to state his of her grievance. He listened quite patiently. You are

HOW TAXES HAVE
 HURT BUSINESS

London, July s.-(special.)-Tha it never pays to cry wolf is a maxim which London taxcab drivers are find ing to be true. At a recent inquiry into the conditions in the motorcab trade drivers protested that the tips they got were almost a negligible amount, such as a penny in the shilling, but that they were thankful even for such small mercies.
 ''The cry of the drivers that they got almost nothing in tips has resulted in the public coming down to the figures the men stated" A taXicab driver said When the taxicabs first came out they were regarded as a novel luxury. Then the peple gave tips often as large as the amounts registered on the dial Now motorcabs have become the business mans vehicle, and as soon as the business man read that taxicab drivers only got tips of 2d in the shill- ing, or even less, and were humbly grateful for them into the bargain, he came down to that figure"

 athlete-had acquired so much skill in the handling of a car.
 It proved hard to get into the ton neau. Several times he got one leg almost over the back, only to be dis lodged as the ear bumped into a rut or over stone. Once he almost lost his grip entirely. But a final effort gave him leg hold, and slewly-very slowly-he climbed over to the leath. CT cushions of the wide seat.
 If Arima now turned and saw him almost anything might happen. Blu, before he could become conscious that anyone was near him, Orme was crouching in the tonneau.
 The car was going at B mile clip. The street lights were flashing by, and not far ahead were the frequent lights of houses. Nothing could be done here; therefore Crme got down as low as he could He realized that he would have to wait till they had passed through the town.
 Arima had not remained on the Sheridan road. He had taken a street which struck off from 1t, more direct ly southward. and Orme surmised that the intention was to avoid the main streets of Evanston.
 When the car came to cross street and turned westward this surmise was strengthened. They bumped over rail road tracks. Several times they passed other vehicles.
 Presently Orme raised his head and discovered that the houses were thin ming out. The car appeared to be heading straight into the open coun- try, and Arima put on more speed. Forty miles an hour was not a high estimate for the rate at which they were travelling.
 For several minutes Orme continued in his crouching position. The posi- tions of the stars told him that they were still going west-not south to- ward Chicago Every turn of the wheels, therefore, was carrying him farther into unknown territory-farth- CT from the girl and all chance of com municating with her. Surely he must
  Arima evidently was proceeding to some rendezvous, where Orme might find himself again in the midst of an overwhelming number of enemies.
 But what could he do? Rapidly he turned over in his mind the various courses open to him. Should he try to stun Arima with a blow, and then reach forward and take the steering wheel before the car could swerve into the ditch?
 The blow might not prove effective. In that case, the chances were that Arima would involnntarily swing the car to one side Then there would be a smash-with death or serious in jury threatening both Arima and him self.
 Should he try to cut tire?
 The feat was almost impossible. In attempting it, he would run great risk 1 of premature discovery and even If he succeeded in the attempt, the situa. tion would be little changed. The ne cessity of stopping the car to make repairs might not put Arima in his 1 hands.
 The plan he at last decided upon was to throw his left arm around Ari- mas neck and draw him straight back trusting that he might be able to get over the seat and set the brakes with out losing his grip. The throat of the jiu-jitsu adept is tough, made so bs patient development of neck muscles but Orme had strong arm, and he believed. moreover, that Arima would not have time to protect himself D. stiffening his muscles before the gril was secured,
