Rome, April 1.-THE change for
the better in the condition of Pope
Plus X was absolutely certain yes
terday, and the Improvement in
condition is so marked today that if
no complications intervene his
speedy recovery to normal health
seems practically assured.
There was a complete absence of
fever yesterday and signs that the
popes strength is beginning to re-
turn and the temperance of cheer
fulness in the patient are indications
that the relapse from Influenza
which the pope suffered April 8, has
been mastered.
The pontiff again was able to
hear mass yesterday morning and to
take communion. He even sat up
in bed while hearing a report from
the papal secretary of state, Cardin-
al Merry Del Val. His. holiness also
granted a longer conversation than
usual to his sisters and niece, who
showed unmistakable sings of relief
at the apparent improvement in the
pope's health.
Speaking to The Associated Press
after visiting their brother, the
pope's sisters said:
Nov we breathe again. What
we have suffered these last few days
is terrible. When he is i'll we feel
as though We are dying. When he
is well we are in seventh heaven
We live in his life."

Two gaps in the levee near Will

Brussels, April 11.-All hope that
the general strike for manhood suf-

and it now seems certain that the
most sweeping attempt yet made in
the worlds history to apply the
methods of organized labor for pure
ly political ends will begin Monday.
The leaders in the movement dis

strike fund now amounts to approx

The bulk of the conservative mid
die class population who up to the
present because of the assurances of
the government and clerical press
that the strike was a bluff and a
DOGGY, regarded it with unconcern,
now are beginning to be badly
frightened. Many store keepers have
announced that they would close
their establishments and place their
valuables in security. The rush to
obtain provisions is increasing.
The socialists, however, laugh at
these terrors. They profess to believe
that the measures they have taken
are fully adequate to prevent serious
trouble. They urge prohibition of
the sale of liquor and the closing Of
saloons and have themselves forbid

yesterday there was much excite

had been locsened by one Of the in
cendiary fires, fell from its place
near the ceiling Of the gym, and Sc

in the building have damaged it to
an extent that it will require near

TALKS OF EXPOSITION
Sir Edward Grey Says That
the Cost VIII Exceed the
Benefits.

LONDON, Aug. 5.-The question OF
British participation in the Panama
Pacific exposition at San Francisco in
1915 was subject of debate in the
house of commons this afternoon. Some
criticism was expressed of recent off
cial action in this connection, and the
suggestion was offered that private en-.
terprise might supply the impetus nee
essary to secure adequate British rep.
resentatiop, which the government de-
cllned to furnish.
Sir Edward Grey, secretary of state
for foreign affairs, in IL lengthy state.
ment explaining the of1cial attitude OF
the British government 70 the matter,
stoutly maintained that The decision OF
the cabinet not to participate was en-
tirely due to commercial considerations
and had nothing to do with the con-
troversy over canal solls.
Sir Edward Grey said:
"The British government came to the
conclusion that under present circum-
stances it would not he justified in
asking the country to incur the heavy
expense required Cor participation in
the exhibition. This expenditure was
estimated at more than S1.250,000 and
such sum would be quite out of pro-
portion with any commercial advan-
ldRGS llhelY " iIpi'i H.
Enquiries in the commercial cen
ters of the United Kingdom had not
shown that there was any active desire
to PaaT1ticlpate:
laid down by the exhibition authorities
prescribe that exhibits shall be distrI-
buted among a series of international
pavilions, thereby rendering it impossi-
BILE to secure an effective national dis
play
dealt with on these grounds without
any reference to the question of
Panama canal tolls.
"The British government has done
nothing to discourage participation in
the exhibition by the self governing
British dominions.'
John O'Connor. a Nationalist mem
ber, questioned the estimate made by
the government as TO the expenditure
and pointed out that Great Britain IS
outlay at Chicago was only 100000,
while at the Japanese, the German and
the French expositions it reached only
100000.
Sir Edward Grey pleaded that the
conditions were not the same at San
Francisco and that the government IS
estimate had been reached by inquiries
made on the spot.
