Worth tore off his coat. He used
it as an extinguisher, beating at the
blazing curtain of the windows. He

Worth placed the empty envelope

BenedictuS XIV
Is Now Pope

Rome, Sept. 3.-Cardinal Chiesa,
elected Pope, has chosen the name
Benedictus XIV The date for the
coronation will be set later Fifty
seven cardinals participated in the
election, which is a tribute to the
late Pope and his secretary of state,
Merry Del Val. The new Pope was
assistant to the latter until he became
cardinal and Archbishop of Bologna
last May. He was born in Pedliv,
Italy, in 1854.
Cardinals Gibbons and O'Connell,
two of the three American members
of the Sacred College, arrived at
noon, an hour after the Pope was
elected. Cardinal Farley of New
York was therefore the only Ameri-
can who took part in the balloting.
Pope Benedictus XIV is an anti
modernist like Plus. He is about
sixty years of age, was ordained
priest at the age of twenty-four and
held many important positions as sec
retary to church dignitaries until
1907, when he was made Bishop of
Bologna. Pope Plus advanced him to
the cardinals rank last May. Though
prominent among churchmen, he has
not the worldwide reputation of many
other cardinals. Benedictus XIV was
elected pope in 1740.

of DR.. Helms of Medford.
Helms left three notes. The first
note read: IL think that IL a few

charge, nearly blowing off his neck.

There is no evidence that Helms
was insane. His notes are particular

sane person never calls himself a
"crazy fool" and would scal cely m n

wills and tell where various articles
OF property were located. Helms was
apparently sane but disguised with
life. He may have been disappointed
in love or he may have been drink

is the easiest solution, but II doesn't
harmonize with the facts surrounding
his death. I'D

ROME, Aug. 25.-In preparation for
the approaching conclave to elect a
successor to Toe Plus X, the print
ing bureau Of the vatican is getting
out maps which are to be distributed
to the cardinals, showing each one
where his apartments are to be To-
Gated. eN.r
+ Owing to their feebleness- several of
the1cardinalsswill be permitted to oc-
cupy rooms in the rear of the Sistine
chapel AS they must go to the chapel
twice daily to cast their ballots these
locations will avoid the necessity of
their climbing stairs.
Other cardinals have been notified
that they.may celebrate mass in their
own rooms, thus avoiding the fatigue
of going every morning to the Pauline
chapel. For these cardinals special
small wooden affairs are to be pro-
vided.
Cardinal Farley, archbishop of New
York, has reached Milan from
Switzerland. He is expected at Rome
tomorrow. Eis health Is excellent.
The hope is entertained here that
the American cardinals, Archbishop
Farley, of New York; Archbishop
Gibbons, of Baltimore, and Arch
bishop O'Connell, of Boston, will sue
coed in reaching Rome in time for
the conclave. It is felt that inso-
much as they are outside the influen-
ces of the European war they will be
able to bring an impartial view to
the election of the new pope.

deavor.

differences and to unite to meet the

GERM ANS RETURN SWORD
TO BELGIAN GENERAL,
LIEGE FORTS DEFENDER

LONDON, Aug. eb.--The Amster-

a story taken from the Aachner Post
telling of the courteous treatment

forts, received at the hands Of Gen.
Won Enimich, Of the German forces.
Gen. Leman," the story says, was
found by the Germans nearly suffo-
Gated under the ruins of destroyed
fort. The German officers treated
him with the greatest friendliness
and took him before Gen. Won EN-
mich, to whom the Belgian handed
over his sword.
'1n recognition Of Gen. Leman's
brave conduct in a hopeless situation,
Gen. Won Emmich returned his sword
to him, and after q short rest he was

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-France must
fight for her freedom on French soil.
This is the primary meaning of the
operations described in today's official
reports. The exuberant feeling of the
past fortnight of hostilities that Bel
GUM and Germany alone would
supply the great battlefields of the
campaign has been shattered by the
failure of the allies plan to take the
offensive.
After the German repulse at Liege,
the collapse of the German military
methods was predicted; now that the
allies have been taught the difficulties
of offensive operations against the
kaiser's war machine, suggestions
that the French defense has gone to
pieces are on everybody's lips. Both
judgments are on a par. The first
phase of the campaign which conferred
about the able handling of the Liege
forts went against Germany; the Sec
ond phase whereby the allies hoped
to engage in offensive strategy, has
resulted in Germany's favor. This is
all the legitimate meaning that can
be extracted from the details that
have passed the censor.
The retirement of the allies to their
covering positions" probably is a
graceful French way of admitting
Germany now is master OF all Bel
GUM, and the Anglo French forces
are recovering their breath protected
by the permanent frontier defenses.
There is no indication in official or
unofficial reports that the Germans
were able to follow up the collapse
of the French offensive. While the
allies have been compelled to retreat,
a fact almost as important seems to
be that the Germans have been too
