United Press Premature Report

New York. August 20.-Pope Plus X died at 1:20 o'clock Rome time, this (Thursday) morning, as announced in last nights dis patches of the Associated Press.
 There is six hours difference be- tween Rome and New York time. so that the hour of his death, New York time, was 7:20 D. m.
 At 2:29 D. m. New York time (8:20 D. m. Rome time) Wednesday, or four hours before the pontiff had actually passed away, the United Press association distrib- uted throughout this country for nal announcement that the pope was dead. As will be seen, the United Press announcement was false.

The official statement continues:
 "In conformity with pre-arranged plan the Belgian field army retreated on the entrenched camp of Antwerp after brilliantly fulfilling it's duty as dictated by the strategical situation and delaying for fortnight the Ger man passage of the Mouse. ( Antwerp has double role. Il is a formidable entrenched camp, forti- fled on most modern lines and is the base from which the Belgian army can threaten the German flank and cooperate effectively with the allies.
 Antwerp Defended
 'The Antwerp defenses consist of the Qualifications, whose power of re- sistance can be heightened by flooding a large area all around the works. Antwerp is fully equipped with the

 to detach imposing forces. This they
 are not likely to do. If they do not, they will be obliged to cover them selves against the Belgian army,
 which is intact, thanks to the skilled retreat and augmented by the Ant werp garrison.
 Tt is to be added that the Jsiege forts still hold out Those at Namur have not been attacked. They are as strong as the forts at Liege and have been considerably strengthened in the past two weeks.
 From this it would seem that the Iadvancing German armies are caught between the positions of Namur and Antwerp, a distance from each other of only 35 miles. The German situa- ton is a difficult one, since they lack the chief postulate of a plan of march through Belgium, namely a free pas sage of the Mouse by Liege and Namur- tContinued on Page Eisht)

Documents published today disclose
the fact that the British government
gave officers in Ireland written guar
antee that they would not use the
army to crush listers political oppo-
sition to the home rule bill.
The correspondence, however, points
out that the government retains It's
right to use the army to maintain law
and order. @
The orders issued by the war Office
in respect to the duties OF the army
in Ireland chiefly in connection with
the protection of government stores,
arms and~ammunitiOn, are given very
completely The correspondence, how
ever, omits the verbal communications
made by General Sir Arthur Paget to
the officers at the Cnrragh camp,

which the government argues was the
result of a misunderstanding" That
the version of General Pagets com
munication read by Andrew Bonar

house of commons, on Monday was
substantially correct seems clearly in

read letter in which General Paget
stated that "active operations were
to begin against Ulster and that it was
expected that the country would be in
blaze by Saturday.

that he was in close communication
with the war office and had received
instructions from headquarters to no
