Alleged Shameless Violations OF

Be Inquiry Subject.

London, Sept. THE Spectator, dis

I'VE venture to take this opportunity
Of again suggesting that President Will
son should approach the German en-
perur and ask him for a plain declara-
ton of what his intentions are with
regard to all the Treaties signed in his
behalf at The Hague. Those agree
ments have been shamelessly disre-
garded, so that no earnest man can now
place any trust in German promises"
The newspaper says that Englishmen,
no matter what Emperor Williams an
swer might be, would have no thought
Of reprisals, adding that there must be
no policy OF an eye for an y and q
tooth for a tooth.
Here is Mr.. Wilson's opportunity
the Spectator continues. 1.-THE United
States is strictly neutral-as honestly
neutral toward Germany, we are sure,
as towards ourselves. But she is the
only neutral great power except Italy
left outside the orbit of war. We earn
estly hope that Mr.. Wilson, finding
himself in this Notwithstanding

committed to the principles of The

peror to declare his Intentions"

WITH SOLEMN POMP

Rome, Sept. 8.-The coronation Of
Pope Benedict XIV took place today in

imposing in it's solemnity. The Sis

in order to avoid pomp during the war.
The entire pontifical court members
from an aristocracy, and the family
of the pontiff were present.
The scene with Pope Benedict seated
in the Sedia Gestatoria, preceded by
the bearers of the triple crown and
thanked by the bearers of the celebrated
feather fans n &C cardinals in their
full Yestments was a striking one.
