German women seem to be gettinl
their rights. Some time ago OFT
krotzmark. of Berlin, told his sweet
heart, Bertha Schlosser, that he
longer loved her. Bertha did nc
swoon, or pine away with a broke
heart. She bought a gun, went afto
Otto and got him. After his funera
Bertha was arrested, tried for mar
slaughter and convicted. What ser
tence do you suppose the jury of Ger
man men imposed upon the younr
woman for numbering her fickIe
sweetheart? A year and half ir
jail. Another woman living in Ber
lin was tried for attempting to xii
a man who had been her lover for e
number Of years. During those years
he had supported her in grand style
but finally decided to sever their re.
lations. She was willing he shouls
but wanted "alimony." The two ha
never been married and the man re,
fused. He has two bullets in him to
day, which his former lady love fired
She was tried for attempted man,
slaughter. The jury acquitted her,
and the verdict was applauded Sc
long and so loud that the judge call
ed the officers to clear the courtroom
1t is hard to imagine such goings o,
in Germany, which already yet has
controlled its women folks.

ROME, Sept. 11.-Pope Benedict XIV
has taken the first step in his cam
paign to end the war. BY the issuance
of an encyclical addressed to the ma
tions several days before it was ex-
pected, the newly elected pontiff of the
Roman Catholic church hopes to avert
another big battle in which thousands
of men would be slaughtered.
The encyclical is published in the
Osserva Torromeo, the official organ
of the vatican, and is as follows:
Looking out upon the flock entrust-
ew to our care, the immense spectacle
of a general war has struck us with
unutterable horror and sadness.
Begs for Peace.
"When we see such considerable
portion of Europe devastated by fire
and sword, and drenched with the
blood of Christians, it is incumbent up
on us to embrace all without distinc-
ton, lambs and sheep, in the arms OF
paternal charity"
The pope implores intercession for
peace to the Virgin. whose nativity
has just been celebrated, and con-
tinues:
1--WE eXhort most earnestly those
who govern the destiny of nations that
they should bring themselves to a
frame of mind, whereby they may put
aside all dissensions contrary to the
welfare of humanity.
Let them realize that there is al
ready too much suffering and sorrow
attached to this mortal life, and that it
should not be rendered more wretch
ed or more sorrowful; let them realize
how much ruin war has already
wrought, and how much human blood
already has been shed.
Petitions Haste.
The pope then makes this appeal
to the heads of nations:
Hasten, therefore, to enter into a
council of peace. Grasp the right
hand of friendship and receive spe-
cial reward from God for yourselves
and your nations, and earn the great
est praise from the brotherhood of
man."
Pope Benedict XIV has written the
encyclical with deep feeling in his
heart, and in it's conclusion he ex-
presses the ardent hope that his re-
gime as head of the church may see
war discontinued.
From present indications it may be
said that ever occupied the chair of

There was a new engagement in

"At our right the situation is with

LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE govern
ment press bureau announced this af
ternoon that the Germans were re-
treating in disorder. The British
troops have captured 1900 prisoners
and several guns, together with large
quantity of supplies.
The official statement, which was
issued at 1920 p. m, was as follows:
"The general retreat of the enemy
continued yesterday. The British cap
tured 1400 prisoners, including wound
ed, besides several guns, maxims and
a large quantity of transports.
THE enemy is retiring very rapidly
east of scissors in some disorder.
Infantry Surrenders.
yesterdays captures were higher
than previously reported, considerable
bodies of infantry being found hidden
in the woods. They had been left be-
hind owing to the rapidity of their
army's retirement. They surrendered
on sight.
This, and the rifling of villages
and evidence of drunkenness point tC
decentralization among the routed ar
my. The pursuit is being vigorously
pressed"
This is the first time that the state
ments issued by the government press
bureau had used the words "disorders'
and decentralization" in connection
with the retirement of the German
forces. The statement relates only tC
conditions on Thursday, because OF
the difficulty in getting messages
through from Paris to England.

ON BATTLING TO

Great Britain Determined to
Spurn All Overtures of
Peace and to Settle Issue.

European Manager Of the International
News Service.

LONDON, Sept. 11-England ex-
poets no fresh proposals of mediation
from the United States No communi-
cation relating to peace has been re-
ceived from Washington since the
services of the American government
were offered
This word was received at the for
eign office today. England intends to
prosecute the war to a conclusion. II
takes the position that it made every
possible effort to avert the great con-
flict, but now that the war has begun
it must decide the issues in such a
manner that no doubt shall exist as to
where the victory lies.
Reports from the United States that
Germany is willing to listen to media
tiOn proposals are received with great
interest by the British government,
but they arouse no enthusiasm. In of
fetal circles it is stated that the en-
pire and her allies face a big task,
but that it will be carried out to a de-
termination.
No secret is made of the belief here
that Germany. fearing ally, Austria.
will be overwhelmed would welcome
peace. England has no desire to de-
stroy the German empire. but it is re-
solved to destroy what it calls the
"cure of militarism." and Is confident
that with the Great Britain resources
it will be able to accomplish that end.
