America viii Not Hasten

Washington, Aug. 20-Officials here
were silent today with reference TO
the inquiry of the Chinese govern
ment as to whether the United States
would undertake the ransfer of Giao
Chow from Germany to China. 1t was
predicted in official circles, however,
that the United States would not as
sent to the proposal unless it had
previously been assured hat such a
course would be accepted by the Jap
anese and Great Britain. 1t was be-
lieved here that Chinas inquiry was
made to sound the United States gov
ernment on behalf OF Germany.
The Chinese government is not
sure that such program would meet
with the approval of Japan or Great
Britain and the opinion is freely ex-
pressed that it will not.

No Money for Tickets

London, Aug. 20.-Henry s. Breck-
inridge, the American assistant secre-
tary of war, is awaiting instructions
at Falmouth on board the cruiser
Tennessee. This is the vessel which
has on board financial relief for
Americans in Europe.
Mr.. Breckenridge believes that all
the money he brought over on the
Tennessee is for charitable purposes
Consequently Americans over here
whose friends deposited money for
them with the treasury department at
Washington are not able to get their
money here. Nothing can be done in
this direction pending the receipt OF
further instructions from Washington.
Many Americans in London, who
were advised that money would reach
them on the Tennessee, are keenly
disappointed; a number of them need
it for the purchase of steamship tick
cts. The embassy is making every
effort to obtain authority from Wash
ington to make delivery here of money
deposited in Washington.

The Pope's Life Story

Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto, known
to the world as Pope Plus X, was
elected to the pontifieate on August
A. 1903, and during his occupancy Ct
mis- exalted office as head of the Ro-
man Catholic church he was confront
ed with some of the most momen,ols
problems, religious and governmental,
with which the Holy See has had to
deal in modern times.
Pope Plus was born on June 2, 1885,
at Riese, in the Venetian provinces,
the first child of Gian-Battista Sarto,
postman, and his wife Margherita.
Guiseppe's early career was influenced
ry the village priest who took lik-
ing for the boy, taught him to read
and write and drummed into the
youthful head the rudiments of Latin
At the age of IL years he entered
the seminary at Castelfranco. not far
from his birthplace, and Tor four years
every day he tramped to school. usu

outskirts of the village. where be
would slip on his shoes to keep ur
appearances.
From Castelfranco he passed il
1850 to the seminary at Padua, and in
1858. at the age of 25, was ordained
priest and took up his duties at Tom
bolo. In 1867 he had his first parish
of Importance. that of Salzano. where
he remeined for II years. In addition

countries and putting them, together
with the rest of the Catholic world,
under the consistorial congregation.
To Americans Plus X was especial
ly interesting. His great friendship
for this country, his frequent audi
ences to Americans, both Catholic
and non-C Catholic, and his interest in
American affairs kept him in closer
touch with this side of the Atlantic
than perhaps any pontiff that has pre-
ceded him. He was an ordent ad-
mirer of Theodore Roosevelt and had
the ex-president's writings translated
for reading, yet, as will be recalled,
events accruing at the time OF Mr..
Roosevelts visit to Rome led to the
cancellation of his visit to the Vati-
can. Former Vice President Charles
W. Fairbanks had a somewhat simi-
lar experience, and the incident ere
ated widespread interest in this coun-
try and in Europe at the time

The announcement that the allied

until the officers in command had
made their official reports, together
with the statement by Germany that

the newspaper men of the world to

The efforts of Mr.. Owen, member
of the state corporation commission,
to bring about the defeat of his col
league, Hugh II. Williams, for re-
nomination by the republican state
convention are unbecoming. Mr..
Owen, in an interview in an Albuu-
querque newspaper, predicts Mr.. VIII
liams defeat If he is nominated. Be
ing a democrat, it is strange that Mr..
Owen should worry about the defeat
of a possible republican candidate. Men
who are expected to work together for
the benefit of the state should be
able to forget political differences.
Mr.. owen has a perfect right to hope
fer the election of democrat to sue
coed Mr.. Williams-party loyalty
gives it to him-but if his party is

ate reports Of the results of the va
r;ous battles. These can be obtained
with better satisfaction to all persons
concerned IL they come through Off
ciai channels. This was proved during
the operations at Vera Cruz, when cor
respondents in Mexico were unable to
get to the world news OF the events
transpiring at the Mexican port be-
fcre Washington had given out official
reports based upon cablegrams and
wireless messages received from the
commanders in the field
If the various nations engaged in
the war will be frank in giving out
official information to the press and
let their censorship be conducted
merely for the purpose of securing ac.
curacy. there can be no complaint
from anybody, for the public would
prefer to receive facts few hours

President Sends sxmpathx

Washington, Aug. 2O.-Secretary
Bryan today sent the following tele-
gram to the vatican for President
Wilson: m
"The president desires me to ex-
press his sense of the great loss
which the Christian world has sus-
tanned in the death of his holiness
Plus X. By his pure and gentle and
unaffected piety, and his broad and
thoughtful sympathy with his fellow
men, he adorned his exalted station
and attracted to himself the affec-
tionate regard of all who felt his
worldwide influence"

Plus X

There passed away at Rome this
morning a kind hearted old man. He
we'd peace, and the golden rule of
ing onto others as ye would that
ers would do unto you was his
, st loved precept. He believed in
practiced the doctrine of brother
Iy love, His last public utteranct
vas an appeal to the world to pray
for the ending of the great European
war and the restoration Of peace.
That man was Plus X, who rose
from the humble position of peasant
TO the chair of ST Peter. The humil-
ity that characterized him as lowly
priest remained with him when he
attained to the most exalted position
which his church could give him. By
his gentle, kindly utterances and evi-
dent love for all mankind he won the
respect of the entire world, Protestant
as well as Catholic. He seemed
filed with the true Christian spirit
and he died with resignation that
showed love and confidence in Cod.
Loving peace, he left the world in
volved in war Preaching the doctrine
of brotherly love. his last glimpse of
earth disclosed to his wearied eyes
neighborly nations flying at each
others throats. His last prayer was
for the repose of the souls of those
who perish in war.
There have been better diplomats
and statesmen on the pontifical
throne than Plus x, but the Roman
Catholic church has made greater ad-
vance under his rule, perhaps, than
during any other similar length of
time. He was solicitous for the soul
of every being upon the face of the
earth and all Christendom has suffer
ed a distinct loss in his death.
