POPE SERIOUSLY
ILL, TO HEAR NO
MORE WAR NEWS
BY HENRY wOOD.

United Press Staff Correspondent.
ROME Aug. 1S.-Pope Plus is very
i'll. He is confined to his bed with
Doctors Amici and Marchiafava in
constant attendance. He is suffering
from bronchial catarrh. complicated
with equity manifestations. In addi-
tion the news Of the war
and the realization that millions
of Catholics are aligned on both sides
of the titanic struggle has resulted in
such extreme melancholia that his en-
tire household is alarmed.
Today, the doctors gave strict or
ders that under no circumstances is
His Holiness to be permitted to re-
ceive any news of the progress Of the
war. No one is to be permitted TO
mention it in his presence. But
whether this will have the effect
hoped for is uncertain as the Pontiff
has taken the outbreak of hostilities
so much to heart.
His Holiness refused to believe that
in this late day of civilization nations
of culture and refinement of those
now engaged could resort 10 the
sword to settle their disputes. When
confirmation reached the Vatican
that war had actually begun he was
greatly troubled.
1t is a pity" he said to his inti-
mates. "and when remember that
they are all my people and that now
they are fighting each other, it breaks
my heart"
So deep was his grief that those who
witnessed it were themselves over
come. All efforts to distract his at
tention failed. Finally he became so
weak that he was forced to remain in
bed. Today there was no improve
ment in his condition. He had q high
fever and this, added to the maladies
from which he is suffering, prevented
him getting any sleep.

FOR CAPTURE OF
BRUSSELS soon
By KARL H. Won wIEGAND
United Press Stan Correspondent


THE HAGUE, Aug. ls-Adyices from
the United Press Berlin bureau reaching
here to-day, shy that the German OF
fensiveA movement against France and
Belgium is reported well in progress.
While all details are suppressed, II is
stated at the War Office that the cap
ture of Brussels is now considered only
question Of do. s. The German in
fantry advance, upon which great de-
pendence is felt, has already commenced.
Everybody in official life is occupied
with the war detail. Until the Kaiser
and general staff left for Mainz, the Off
cial war bulletins were received by the
Kaiser and the chancellor. and the Kai.
ser himself drafted the comments
thereon.
One of the most prominent features
of the war is the friendship manifested
everywhere for Americans. The war
bound Americans are being shown every
courtesy, not alone in Berlin, but ia Mu-
mich, Frankfort and elsewhere. The
civil authorities have taken the lead
everywhere in making the Involuntary
stay OF the Americans pleasant. The
leading newspapers eulogize Americans
and in their editorial columns urge all
Germans to show every consideration
and Kindness to Americans
The offer of the American colony OF
their church in Berlin for use as hos
pital and the statement that the Amer
lean Red Cross has included Germany
/ in its comprehensive relief plans, has
touched every German heart. Not alone
is this the case. with the stores, but il
j. the rule in private houses and thous-
ands of Germans are wearing crossed
American and German flags on their
breasts. The display OF American flags
is second only TO that of German and
they outnumbcr the Austrian. From
outward appearances it would seem as
though the United States were the third
member of the Triple Alliance
The Berlin Chamber of Commerce has
opened a long list of German families
who are willing TO take Americans who
are without funds 10 board without
cost to them Many of the hotels an
nouncc they are willing to trust Ameri-
cans who need food or lodging and that
they can send the funds when they get
back TO their homes.
The Hotel Adlon, where fully IS
per cent of the Americans visiting
Berlin stay. is trusting scores Of
those in Berlin and is actually ad-
vancing money to them on their per-
sonal 81 o Us" Not only is the
Adlon doing this in Berlin. but il has
! telegraphed money to former guests
| stranded at Wiesbaden. Marienbad,
! Carlsbad and elewhere. Chief Burgo-
meister Wermuth is the head of a
voluntary committee named TO look
out for American interests. This
committee is taking over property
which departing Americans are COM
PEELED to leave behind. The American
/ Chamber of Commerce has voted its
thanks 10 the German authorities.
Stories printed in the United States.
which tell of alleged maltreatment OF
Americans by Germans are absolute
ly without foundation In the first
day of the war. a few we're caught
in anti-English demonstrations. but
since then there have been no in
stances where Americans have re-
ceived anything but the most courte-
Gus treatment.

GERMAN-AMERiCANS SING
"STAR SPANGLED BANNER"
AND START RELIEF FUND

President Ripka read a long ad-
dress in German in which he called
attention to affairs in the Fatherland
and declared it to be the duty of
every German to rally to the Kaiser.
He spoke of the action of other Ger
man bodies in various cities through
out the country in coming to the
front with funds and moral support
and asserted Wilmington Germans
could not afford to be anywhere save
in the vanguard of German-Ameri-
cans who have come to the assis-
tance of the empire After the ap-
plause which greeted his remarks
had subsidized, the chairman intro
duced the Rev. S. Won BOsse of Zion
Lutheran Church who delivered a
patriotic address calling on every
German to unite with his cOuntrymen
for the Fatherland.
Germany needs our aid for she
is fighting for civilization" the min
lister declared "She is battling for
the best in life, for culture and art
and education and to maintain what
she has won. Practically all ma
tions in Europe came from the Ger
man ldtt anu yet Aoudg llltN are Stth-
ing to destroy her. They say Kaiser
Wilhelm wanted war and that the
people of the Fatherland supported
him. This is not true. Germany did
not take up the sword until forced to
do So What could Germany do? A
revengeful neighbor on one side and
hordes of Slav barbarians on the
other wanted her territory. She had
to fight.
Il believe this article which I have
clipped from a newspaper will show
the spirit of France. | read that the
French soldier who took the first Ger
man flag is to receive $1,000 from a
flagmaker of Paris, and that another
81 900 is to be given him by a woman
whose husband bequeathed the money

captured the first German standard

SATISFIED With

PerSifor Frazer, Jr., Says
Measure Passed Will Not

OPPOSITION SWINGS
Senate TO House BILL

mat American shipping interests and
shipyard owners are satisfied with the
measure adopted in Congress yesterday
under terms of which foreign built ships
will be allowed to enter United States
registry, but are excluded from coast
wise trade, was the announcement Of
Persifor Frazer, Jr., vice-president of the
Harlan and Ho,lingsworth Corporation.
Mr.. Frazer declared the concerns big
plant here would not be closed, there
being no destructive features in the
newly enacted measure.
"Ihe shipping bill which went through
the Senate yesterday is shorn OF power
TO injure or destroy American vessel
owners or the shipbuilding interests. 4"
Mr.. Fraser said. "Ihis being so, we
shall not close our yard OF shops, but
shall continue in business with the hope
that conditions will improve.
"The shipping legislation absolutely
prohibits alien owned craft from enter
ing our coast trade, and this is what
we were working for in the interest of
all concerned. To admit ships of for
eign nations TO coastwise business would
be fatal to American industry. The
Senate quickly understood this and act
ed accordingly. We received every CON
sideration at the capitol and have no
complaint to lodge against the bill as
passed"
WASHINGTON. Aug 1S-The Sen
ate-amended registry bill, containing
the provision allowing foreign-huilt
vessels to engage in .coastwise trade,
which would have destroyed this
countrys trade in that direction and
injured the American shipbuilding in
dustry. was defeated in the Senate
yesterday by a vote of 40 to 20. By
the same vote the House bill was
adopted, thereby opening the way TO
American registry of foreign vessels
for operation only in the transatlan-
tic trade. II is believed the Presi-
dent will sign the measure.
This bill makes il possible TO ad-
init foreign vessels 70 American
registry and thus provides an outlet
for American grain and other pro-
ducts now prevented. through a lack
of ships. from reaching the markets
of Europe.
The bill enacts into law the Ad-
ministratiOn plan to restore the
transatlantic trade paralyzed by the
European war. II is also designed
TO enlarge the American mechant
marine. Already the Hamburg
American line has received proposals
for the purchase of certain of its
vessels now in American waters, and
the North German Lloyd Line has
announced that it will sell some Of its
ships. Administration officials ex-
pect to see many foreign-built ships
come under the American flag soon
after President Wilson signs the
bill.
Defeat of the Senate conference re-
port was effected by the coastwise
shipping interests and the shipbuild-
ing industries. The latter objected
to an amendment made by Senator
O'Gorman providing for the repairs
of these and all vessels in govern
ment yards and also the admitting
