POTASH AND PERLMUTTER.

There is every indication that Pot
ash and Perlmutter, the famous
comedy which has achieved so much
success, will crowd The Playhouse on
Christmas afternoon and night and
the Saturday afternoon and night
following. 1t is doubtful if there has
ever been a more successful comedy
placed on the stage and II is felt
that Wilmington has been unusually
fortunate in securing it for a Christ
mas attraction.

START TO CUT PORK"
FROM WATERWAYS BILL
Senate Commerce Committee Holds
Session to Eliminate $20.0O0.OO0
Worth of Items.
FOLLOW WILSON'S SUGGESTIONS

Pork barrel river and harbor Demo
Gratis in the Senate yesterday abandoned
their fight in behalf Of the bad features
Of the pending river and harbors bill and
last night commenced q trimming ses-
sion in the Committee on Commerce
which probably will eliminate in the
nelghborhood Of $4,000 900 worth of items.
The slashing will be along the lines
suggested by President Wilson. involving
the elimination Of many of the proposed
new projects and the cutting down of
the larger continuing appropriations on
the old operations. When the President
sustained the objection OF Senators Bur-
ton, Kenyon and other Republicans fill
clustering against the bill. that a horizon
tai decrease of Is per cent would strike
the bad projects no harder than the
meritorious ones. proponents of the
measure acknowledged defeat and de-
cided to trim the bill in the worst spots
Two important projects which may be
eliminated. and which may be classed
among the more meritorious items OF
the new proposals. involve a 5000, 600 ap-
preparation for the purchase Of the Ches-
apeake and Delaware Canal and the
deepening Of Boston Harbor.
The action Of the committee is expected
to have important bearing upon the date
Of adjournment II the river and har-
bors bill is trimmed to the satisfaction
Of its Republican opponents, It is be-
lieved possible that Congress may ad-
journ by October Is at the latest.

POPE ASKS NATIONS
TO stop Fighting
Issues Encyclical Addresses to the
Heads of European Coun-
tries at War.
PROMISES REWARD OF GOD

Rome, Sept. 11--Pope Benedict XIV has
taken the first step in his campaign &c
end the war by issuance of an Nencyclical
addressed to the heads of the nations
The encyclical. published in the Osserva-
tore Romano official organ of the Vati-
can, follows:
Looking out upon the flock intrusted
to our care, the immense spectacle of a
general war has struck us with unut-
terable horror and sadness.
When we see a considerable portion
of Europe devastated by fire and sword
and drenched with the blood OF Chris
tians, it is incumbent upon US to en-
brace without distinction lambs and sheep
In the arms of paternal charity"
Pope Benedict XIV had written the en-
cyclical with deep feeling, and in its
conclusion he expresses the ardent hope
that his regime as head of the church
may see the end of war.
The Pope implores the Virgin TO inter-
cede for peace, and continues:
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

to other taxes from which they have
| hitherto been exempt
Many go so far as to predict that the
life and property Of foreigners in Turkey
will be so endangered as to compel the
State Department to advise all Amer
leans to leave the country as soon as
possible. This view is based largely
| upon the anti-Christian and anti-foreign
propaganda which has for months been
spreading throughout Turkey. In other
quarters, however. it is declared that
| the action of Turkey is based chiefly
upon her need for a larger revenue. The
capitulations provide that the Turkish
customs dues cannot be raised or lower
ed without the consent of the powers
Revocation of these will leave Turkey
free to increase her tariff rates. as
she has long desired to do.
Germany Charges Bride Attempt.
The following message from Berlin was
made public at the German Embassy
here yesterday afternoon:
The three entente powers apprehend-
ing the intervention OF Turkey in favor
OF Germany and Austria Hungary ex-
pressed to Turkey their readiness to con-
sent to the abolition OF the capitulations
in case of Turkeys neutrality during the
present war. Turkey replied that her
neutrality is not to be purchased and,
drawing the consequences from the potifi-
cations of the entente ambassadors. at
once issued orders revoking the capitu-
lations."
In British and French sources II is
denied that these statements are trle,
while it is asserted that Germany has
oeen the instigator Of Turkey action.
hoping it will bring on a MoElem revolt
in British and French colonies.
The capitulations." said the Turkish
Ambassador last night, have given rise
to all manner Of abuses and have teen
serious obstacles to the material and
moral progress of Turkey. For one thing,
they made it very difficult for Turkey 10
raise revenues according to the capacity
VI the country and were the cause of
serious discrimination in the economic
field in favor of the foreigner and
against the natives.
Turkey had entered into negotiations
with the beneficiary powers with a view
to the abrogation of these capitulations,
out was met in such mercantile spirit
by them that the negotiations had to-
be abandoned. TEhe present war has ap-
peared to Turkey to be good oppor-
tunity to take what they would not give,
what she has taken being her natural
rights.
The United States enjoyed the capitu-
lations only incidentally by virtue Of the
most favored nation clause
The status of the American mission
airy institutions is not in the least af-
fected by the decision of the Ottoman
government. They exist and function by
virtue of the general laws governing
the empire"

dissensions contrary to the welfare Of
humanity.
Let them realize that there is already
too much suffering and sorrow attached
to this mortal life, and that it should
not be rendered more wretched or more
sorrowful; let them realize how much
ruin and disaster has already been
wrought and how much human blood
already has been shed"
The Pope then makes this appeal to
the heads of the nations:
Hasten, therefore, to enter into a
council of peace. Grasp the right hand
Of friendship and receive special re-
ward from God for yourselves and your
nations. and earn the greatest praise
from the brotherhood of man."

The annual get-back-home rush for
Washington has been extremely feeble
one. according to officials az Union Sta

In former years, II was declared. baggage

W. ]. Fittall, general baggage agent
at the station, said yesterday that he
thought the decrease in the amount of

HUMANE EDUCATION
Supt. Keeler Urging School
Children to Feed Birds.

The legislature of 1913 passed law
providing for humane education in the
schools of the state, which will include
kind treatment OF domestic and wild
animals and birds. Supt. F. L. Keeler
believes that practice is better than
precept. He suggests the following
work for schools. The next few weeks
are the hardest of all the year for
the birds as those that have remained
here for the winter have by now nearly
exhausted their natural food supply of
wild fruits, weed seeds and insects.
Through February and March the
conditions are variable and bowling
billiards, deep snow and sleet storms
may occur. Every bush, tree and weed
may be incased in ice. If the condition
lasts several days some birds will
starve unless food is furnished them.
Every school should have a feeding
place for the birds. A raw fresh pork
or beef bone with some fat attached
should be nailed to tree or pole too
high for dogs to reach. This is the best
food for the chickadees, nuthatches,
brown creepers, blue jays and the
hairy and downy woodpeckers. A good
feeding shelf may be made by fasten-
ing a wooden box foot or more square
on edge against pole or tree. Crumbs
and scraps should be scattered on this
each day. Sdow may be cleared from
a space in nearby field and wheat,
buckwheat, millet, cracked corn or
