Elect Pope at Rome.

The sacred college of cardinals on
Thursday elected Cardinal Giacomo Della
Chiesa. archbishop of Bologna, supreme
pontlff to succeed the late Pope Plus x.
His coronation as Benedict XIV. took
place Sunday, Sept. 6.
Immediately after his election, which
came on the ninth ballot. he said he
could not imagine how his frail being
was capable of enduring the enormous
weight of responsibility thrown upon
his shoulders, especially at moment
when almost all of the countries of Eu
rope were stained with blood, when the
wounds inflicted upon humanity also
were inflicted on the church, and when
countless victims of the war were being
cut down.
During the course of a reception to
laymen, the pope spoke of America,
which, he said. was especially dear to
him. He expressed great admiration
for the genius of its people, which was
comparable only to their religious zeal
and he added: Il am glad that my first
apostolic benediction abroad will be for.
warded TO America, whore the American
cardinals will, at later date, impart it
to the people directly"

WAR NEWS

London, Sept. Z. A report reached
here from Boulogne today that the I'm.
perial guard Of the German army had
been annihilated, with the possibility
that Crown Prince Frederick William
had been alain, by the British, in an en-
gagament at Precy-sur Disc. The guard
was said to have been wiped ont after it
refused to surrender. The crown prince
was reported in the midst of this body.
The report could not be confirmed from
any authentic source.
The destruction of the British cruiser
Warrior off the coast of Turkey by the
cruiser Cohen put new phase on, the
war as far as the Mediterranean is con-
Germ, indicating that the Germans have
begun to measure their sea strength
with that Of Britain, with the result
similar with those on land. The British
warship, after the battle in which she
was defeated, ran ashore to prevent
sinking after being riddled with Ger
man shells. The Cohen and Breslan
were reported blockaded at CONSTANT
nople, but it appears that these two
units OF the German navy must be reck-
oned with as fighting powers. The de-
feat of the Warrior, cruiser of the
same class as the Cohen, has brought
chill to the heart of England.
The destruction of the British cruiser
Pathfinder in the north sea by German
mine, on Sunday, is another misfortune
which has forced home to the British
admiralty the fact that the sea power
OF great Britain is far from secure. The
German cruisers also report the capture
of many British boats.
In the land fighting, the allies claim
to have forced local victory over their
foes at Precy-sur- Disc. 1t is claimed
that the German Imperial guard had
been annihilated and that the Germans
have been forced back. The assertion
that the crown prince of Germany may
have been killed is based on the alleged
reverse to the guard, but is entirely
lacking confirmation, and is probably
untrue.
The Austrians and Russians are re-
ported to be fighting a probably de-
cisive battle in the Lemberg district.
Petrograd claims heavy gains, but it is
admitted no decisive result has been
obtained.
In the Orient an attack OF japanese
ships on TsingtaO was repulsed, and
the seige is proceeding slowly, both by
land and sea, with no change in the
situation.

WaJertown's pennant aspiring aggre-
cation, which has been leading the Mil
waukee City league race for many weeks,
took hardfall on Sunday. when Lacy
and his strong East Troy team downed
the Goslings by a score Of 5 to 4. AS a
result Watertown was showed down into
second position for Beaver dam their
closest rival beat the Burghardts and in
cidently jumped to the head of the pen
nant march.
For eight innings East Troy was lead
ing the combat, 4 to 0, and Watertown's
chances for "a victory appeared mighty
slim, for Charlie McShane who was in
the box for the TrojaRs was hurting an
article of ball up to that time that was
simply unbeatable. Though trihe wild,
he succeeded in moving down the Kro-
nitz pets inning after inning and up to
the ninth he permitted them but three
hits and whitewashed them in each
round

great rally and it looking pretty much
as if they would still win out. When
Heiny Schumann brought in the first
counter on Lewandoski's infeld hit and
then Bert Anweiler cleared the bases
with a long drive to left center, the
crowd went wild with joy. But with
one more to tie the count, Lewis flied
out to Burns.
The batting of Catcher Owen, with
four hits out of five trips to the plate
and catch by Burns, featured the bat
tie. East Troy's star shortstop, was
spiked by Dohr in the fourth and was
forced to retire.
