Even II the Germans break through

card may be. The roads to Paris are
guarded by growing forces which at
present will not take any part In the

barrier the Germans must clear.
chIeagosn Tells Of Trip.
Louis A. Dumond, the Chicago
municipal investigator, has reached
London after fortnight of interest
ing and severe experiences In Ger
many and Belgium.

the army began to mobilize" said Mr.
Dumond. Troop trains were running
in all directions and the regular SEIZED
ules were reduced hourly. The Amer.
lean consul advised me to leave i'm

way of Belgium. | left Hamburg the
same afternoon and was due on the
Belgian frontier at 1890 a. m. The
train was delayed at every station and
at Cologne we were forced to wait two
hours. We reached the German from
tier town of Herbesthal at ten o'clock
the next morning.
There we found that the Germans
had violated the neutrality Of Belgium
and were marching in the direction of
Liege. The Belgians had destroyed
the railroad from Herbesthal to Yer
viers, which place managed to reach.
The trains had stopped running and II
was impossible TO return to Germany.
as Americans had been ordered to
leave that country.
Says Roads Were Blocked.
Il made numerous attempts to get
through Liege ahead of the German
army, but was unsuccessful, either be-
cause the roads were blocked or was
turned back by German bayonets. The
banks were closed and no shops, ho-
tells or business men would cash
checks, recognize letters Of credit or
trust any one. English and American
travellers had little Belgian money and

in these countries, with the exception
of France In recent years. he was
highly commended for wisdom and
strength.
Brought Church and State Together.
AS to Italy, he increased the cordial
understanding between church and
state, which was not thought wise by
Italian churchmen. However, his &C
ton resulted in an uplifting OF the
church in Italy.
The dioceses had been in a most
deplorable condition because OF the
long conflict between church and
state.
There was evidence OF miserable
conditions existing in the Italian emf
grants. They have little or no instruc-
ton in their religion and paid no at
tention to it In this country, on the
supposition that the Catholic religion
did not exist here.
The pope pursued this matter TO the
proper outcome. He filed up vacant
sees, stirred up comfortable bishops.
and ordered the teaching OF catechism
all over the world. He aimed chiefly
at Italy. In a word, he deserted d.
plomacy for the instruction and organ
ization of the people. He gave up
governments to look after the lost
sheep OF the household.
Disappointed diplomats then walled
about his timidity. But the wailing
had no effect on the noble-hearted.
simple man who was the head Of the
church.
When the trouble between the
church and state broke out In France
and the concordat was dropped. the
world looked to the pope, specializing
what course he would take. What he
did seemed to be the only right thing
according to the American idea. He
ignored the nation.

diers. Apart from this the Germans
appeared to treat the citizens we'll and
paid for their supplies. The larger
portion of the population who work in
the wooden mills are reduced almost
to starvation. The Germans buy most
of the meat, bread and other supplies,
and no supplies can be brought in
from the outside.
AT Herbesthal we were searched
and examined by German officers, and
were then allowed to take military
train to AK la Chapelle, from which
place we got cab to the Dutch from
tier. At the village OF Baaz they told
us that we could get a train to Mas
tricht On arriving there we found
the Dutch army modified, practically
all the trains used for soldiers and the
main roads and bridges blockaded to
resist an army Of 10000 German sol
diers just outside.
I'VE deemed 1t inadvisable to wait
at Maastricht for a possible tram, and
the next day we hired an automobile.
This broke down at ten o'clock that
night. The chauffeur worked frantic
ally two hours to repair the machine.
but at midnight announced that II was
impossible to run on account of a fiat
tire. Finally he consented to go on.
Left Stranded In Auto.
at / a. m. we were still twelve
miles from Helder, whittier we were
going. The chauffeur stopped in the
village of Durne. He refused to bulge
and left us stranded in the middle OF
the road while he reused nearly every
one In the village in search of a horse
and carriage. He returned in an hour
or so and announced that 1t was i'm
possible to reach Helder, and that we
must spend the night in Durne The
next morning we got a train from
Durne to Rotterdam. We found that
city flooded with Americans from all
parts of Europe, most of them pos
sessed of only the clothes they were
wearing. The next morning we caught

on q crowded boat TO England.

Plus x. Was Born June 2, 1898.
Pope Plus X. was a native OF the
little village of REESE, In the Venitian
province of Trevisco, which in 1903,
gave to the church a pontiff in Mic
cola Boccasini, who assumed the

Born June 2, 1885, to a poor and

the dialect equivalent OF Giuseppe,
'''Beppo."
The early life of Pope Plus was
filed with activity. The district of
Treviso is one of poverty, only those
who have seen 1t realizing the strug-
gle for existence that ever prevails.
From an early age Giuseppe, bred
to sturdy outdoor life, displayed a
bent for the priesthood. The educa-
tional resources of his birthplace were
soon exhausted, and the lads studious
learnings demanded wider field for
their development. He was sent to a
college at Castel, France, and from
there was transferred to the Central
Seminary at Padua, the world-renown-
ed seat of italian learning.
On September 10, 1853, the young
seminarist received his priests orders
in the Cathedral OF Castel-France.
That year was memorable one for
Italy. The question OF Italian liberia
ton had been forced to the front by
the attempt Of Orsini to assassinate
Napoleon III.

but the youngest priest was not con.

his back on the world and took up his
duties as curate in the village of Tom.

Citizens Shot at LIege.

August IA party consisting Of two
other Americans, myself and two Eng
lishmen and a Frenchman obtained
from the German commandant passes
to return to Herbesthal on the way to
AK la Chapelle. Armed with these, we
attempted TO get conveyance TO the
German frontier, but the cab drivers
were so terrified that we tried five diff
ferent men before we found one with
sufficient nerve to take us. Even then
was compelled to conduct the driver
to the German commander to get a
paper guaranteeing the safety OF the
cabman, his horse and his vehicle. Our
horse was so old that we had to walk
up the hills. The age Of the beast, the
driver said, was the only thing that
kept the Germans from taking it.

citizens were shot because of remarks

Prevented From Leaving the City.
For many days every one was pre-
vented from leaving the city. Horses,
automobiles and every other means of
conveyance were appropriated by the
Germans unless the owners could show
credentials from the German army.
The Belgian citizens were reduced to
state of terror. Cannonading began

the crowds Of relatives, fathers, moth

bread and cigars to them. The cap

the gifts, but were ruthlessly hurried
on by the German soldiers. We Amer

from Liege told us that the Germans
had taken three forts, caused a small
fire in the city and captured $500 pris-

Rome, Aug. 20.-Pope Plus X died
at 1920 o'clock this morning.
Already suffering from bronchitis
and a weak heart, the worry occa

the aged pontiff is a war victim as
truly as If he had been struck down

days.
His holiness had lain unconscious
most of the afternoon, but rallied in
the evening, became conscious for a
time, and gave the physicians hope
that he might recover. But his
strength was gone, he soon relapsed
into coma and gradually grew weaker
until the end. He died while sleeping
peacefully.
Death Followed Relapse.
In the afternoon he suffered a re-
lapse, and he received the last sacra-
ment. His sisters lighted the candles
before the miraculous images of st.
Joseph and remained PROSTATE, pray.

The ringing Of the church bells mott
fled the people of the exposition of
the holy sacrament and called them
to prayer.
Cardinal Merry del Val, who was
called in, left after a few minutes and
issued a summons for the cardinals
who had left the city for their va
cations.
Before the fatal turn for the worse
the pope addressed the whole world
on the subject of the war. When he
was told that the roar of cannon in
the Adriatic could be heard in Venice
he exclaimed:
THE bones of the doges must thrill
in their sepulchers at the familiar
sound of battle, recalling the heroic
days of old"
Death Comparatively Sudden.
Death came to the aged pontiff
after a battle OF few days, with the
leading men of science on one side
and the grim reaper on the other.

and filled with clamoring throngs, are
quiet. The noise Of the market places

GOVERNORS CONFERENCE TOLD
WESTERN STATES DEVELOP
MENT is RETARDED.
GOOD COAL IN WYOMING
GOV. CAREY CONDEMNED THE
GOVERNMENTS POLICY OF
WITHDRAWING LANDS.
western Newsraper IlnIen News servlee.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Madison, Wis.-Western governors
before the governors conference here
denounced what they called unfair
treatment OF public land states by the
federal government. Elias NJ. Am
mons of Colorado, Joseph II. Carey of
Wyoming and A. o. Eberhart of Min
nesota seconded the plea OF William
Spry of Utah that the western states
be allowed to develop their resources
without interference from Washing
ton.
GOV. Ammons of Colorado charged
that the federal reclamation service
under the last three Presidents had
disobeyed the orders of the nations
chief executive in refusing to allow
Colorado to use public lands for build
ing d reservoir He said the maga-
zines had printed conservation arti-
cles full of misstatements and had re-
fused to publish the other side of the
question. Some of the magazine writ
ers, the governor declared, had dis
torted facts. Among other things they
had asserted that Rockefeller owned
all the coal land in Colorado whereas
he owned only 500 acres out of the
$4,000 acres of coal land under lease
by the state.
Gov. Carey of Wyoming condemned
the governments policy of withdraw
ing coal and mineral lands because
such action tended to retard develop
ment many years. He said that fed
eral attempts to improve such lands
were wasteful
Instead of being liberal with us,
said Gov. Carey, the government has
limited us to the smallest area, and
this despite the fact that the Rocky
Mountain states must struggle the
hardest for development amid adverse
circumstances. There is more good coal
in Wyoming than in any other state
yet the government refuses to allow a
settler to dig bag full for his own
use The land should be parceled out
among all the people of the state"
Gov. Eberhart of Minnesota cited the
success of states in coping with public
utilities as an earnest OF their ability
to regulate the development of their
own resources. He called. on the east
ern and southern states to support the
demand of the western states for bet
ter treatment from the national gov
ernment.
Gov. Stewart of Montana said his
belief was that the quicker public
lands passed under public ownership,
the sooner the country would find its
full developments.

PRODUCER TO CONSUMER.
Eighty Farmers Want to Feed Den
verites Through Parcels Post.

Denver-The first step of the Den.
yer postoffice toward putting into ac.
tual use the proposed parcel post serv-
ice for delivering produce from farm
ers to city consumers was taken
when Postmaster Charles Trodder
sent to Denver housewives a list con-
tanning the names of eighty farmers
who are willing to ship their goods
direct, thus eliminating the profit OF
the middleman.
The majority OF the farmers on the
list are in Colorado. But few are IN
Kansas, Nebraska and Wyoming
Their produce includes vegetables OF
all kinds. fruits, poultry. butter, eggs
and meat.
All the farmers are within the local
first and second zones of the parcel
post rating system. This means the
rate for transportation will cost :
cents for the first pound and l cent
for each additional two-pounds OF
fraction thereof, etc.
