IN days when cities were walled
about for purposes OF defense against
an enemy, most Of the masters Of the
people being marauders and brigands,
there were real gates, by which is
meant tremendous doors of solid oak
built within stone walls which were
indestructible by any weapons of those
times. The ancient gates were built
in the walls of cities at those points
where the chief highways centered
and on which an enemy would surely
try to make his attack. j:iftafi -:

Bad Diplomacy.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 11.-That the
Turkish ambassador. A. Rustem Bey.

nOn-grata with the American govern
ment is indicated Enthusiastically by
administration officials today.
The Turkish envoy has been critic
ising American methods and Ameri-
can policies with a great freedom
during the past few days which
caused much amusement at the white
house. His statement yesterday that
the European war is Turkeys oppor-
tunity, is regarded as the worst pOssi-
bic diplomacy at this time.
While the abrOgation OF the long
standing treaties BY Turkey has not
yet been considered by this govern
ment. IL is recognized as a possible
source OF embarrassment TO Ameri-
cans in Turkey, especially those con-
nected with the schools. II any
American citizens are brought before
Turkish courts and there tried for
various ofieHses IN defiance OF a long
standing agreement between Turkey
and the United States. representations

Germans Wasting Thousands of
Men In Heroic Fight To Keep
Position Against Allied Army

were driven back several miles at
the point of the bayOnet. During
this brilliant operation the British
received valiant support from the
French who crossed the Marne river
at three separate points and pro
tected the British rear, while the
English artillery had full play
against the retreating Germans.
The Germans have been and still
are fighting desperately not only to
hold their present positions. but to
recover lost ground.
The Germans concentrated a
strong force north of Vitry-le-
Francois. Further east, toward Yer
dun the Germans massed another
enormous force. At that point ter
rife efforts have been made to shat
ter the allies defense.
Waste Thousands of Lives.
One message from the front,
speaking of the German attack, says
THE enemy is wasting thousands
of lives in a desperate but unSuc-
cessful attempt to break through.
This section OF the battlefield is a
perfect he'll of artillery fire. 1t con-
tinues hour after hour while the
charges of the German lancers and
infantrymen are repulsed by the
allies, who not only retain their pO-
sitions, but are getting ready to ad-
vance"
Fighting is also reported from
Lorraine, but it is less fierce than
that in eastern France.
Taken all in all, the French mil
itary authorities believe that the sit
uation at every point can be sum-
med up as being favorable to the
allies.

POPE PLEADS FOR
PEACE WITH THE
HEADS OF NATIONS
Benedict Issues EnCyCIiCaI Call
ing on Rulers to "GraSp the
Right Hand of Friendship"
and Put Down Sword.

ROME. Sept. 11.-Pope Benedict
XIV has taken the first step in his cam
paign to end the war. BY the issu-
ance Of an encyelical. addressed to
the heads OF nations, the newly elect
ed pontiff of the Roman Catholic
church hopes to avert another big bat
tie in which thousands Of men will
be slaughtered.
The encyclical is published in the
Osservatore Romano. the official or
gan of the vatican, and follows:
Looking out upon the flock en-
trusted to our care, the immense
spectacle Of a general war has struck
US with unutterable horror and sad
ness.
when we see such a considerable
portion Of Europe devastated by fire
and sword and drenched with the
blood of Christians. il is incumben
upon US to embrace all without dis
tinction, lambs and sheep in the arms
of paternal charity"
Implores IntercessiOn.
The pope implores intercession foI
peace 10 the Virgin, whose nativity
has just been celebrated, and con
tinues:
we exhort most earnestly those
who govern the destiny OF nations that
they should bring themselves to q
frame OF mind whereby they may put
aside all dissensions contrary 10 the
welfare OF humanity.
Let them realize that there is al
ready too much suffering and sorrow
attached to this mortal life and that
II should not be rendered more
wretched or more sorrOwful; let them
realize how much ruin and disaster
already has been wrought and how
much human blood already has been
spilled"
The pope then makes this appeal "a
the head Of nations:
Hasten. therefore, 10 enter into a
council OF peace. Grasp the right
hand OF friendship and receive a spe-
cial reward from God for yourselves
and your nations and earn the great
est praise from the brotherhood OF
man"
Pope Benedict XIV had written the
encyclical with deep feeling in his
heart and in it's conclusion he ex.
presses the ardent hope that he. as
head OF the church. may see the end
OF the war.
