ANSWER SEMI

WASHINGTON, Sept 3.-Carranza
was formally notified by Lansing that
the signers of the appeal for peace i'm
Mexico sent by the Pan-American con
ference, affixed their names to doc
ument in their official capacities as
representatives Of their governments.
The message was laconic and did not
go beyond this direct answer to an
inquiry by Carranza after he had re-
ceiyed the appeal State Department
officials said they did not know what
effect if any, the answer would have
on Carranzas reply to the appeal
The delay i'm answering the Car
ranza inquiry, it was learned, was
caused by the fact that four of the
six South and Central American dip
lomats who. with Lansing. composed
the conference, were out Of town.
While there is no doubt here as to
the official character of the confer.
ence each diplomat was advised of
the question raised and heard from
before the reply was sent.
II is understood that another Pan
American conference win be called
soon but it is authoritatiyely stated
no date has as yet been set. In the
appeal, sent three weeks ago. il was
suggested that ten days be considered
by the conferes as a reasonable time
in which answers might be prepared
by those who received il.

TAFT LAUDS THE
ATTITUDE Of
WILSON
Former Republican President
Says Wilson Should Be Con-
graduated on the Outcome of
Controversy With Germany.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 3.-The
aquiescence of Germany in this coun-
try's contention for the rights of non

said William Howard Taft, former
president of the United States, in an
address delivered yesterday at the
Taft Day celebration at the Panama

"The very recent news from Wash

shows that the firm attitude of Pre-
sident Wilson in maintaining the
rights Of noncombatant citizens on
commercial liners of belligerents to
be safe from drowning without warn

has been acquiesced in by Germany.
This must and should be the cause
of profound rejoicing by every patriot

graduation TO the President
1T must relieve the strain between
the two countries The shadow of

1T should not. however, lead our
people away from their duty of rea-
sonable preparation. The incident,
though closed, as we all hope. except
as to the indemnity for the lives of
those already drowned, shows how

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
WHY THIS WASTE?

1t is estimated that the nations at
war in Europe are spending from3l
to so millions of dollars a day on the
gigantic struggle in which they are
now engaged. When peace is de-
clared they will all be much poorer
than they We're when hostilities began
last August The victors may ac-
quire some territory, but this will not
be an adequate compensation for the
prodigal waste in material resources
which the war has occasioned. The
defeated nations will be burdened al
most beyond reckoning to meet war
bills, while all the countries engaged
will always be poorer because of the
toll of human lie eXacted by this
war The best blood of the nations
is flowing on the battle fields of Eu-
rope today. We may we'll inquire,
Why all this waste?' May the rea-
son not be founG in conditions which
have continued because of the failure
of the Christian church to carry out
faithfully the Lord commission to
preach the gospel to every creature!
If the work of tire worlds avangeli-
cation had been carried on with as
much skill and vigor and with equal
consideration to a definite end as
characteriZes the present war, it is
almost unthinkable that armed con
flict between Christian nations woulc
be possible in the twentieth century
Swords would long ago have beer
beaten into plowshares and spears in
to pruning hooks and the nations
nations would have neglected the art
of war. The contributions in many
of the whole Protestant world t
Christian missions are equal to only
about half the daily expenditures OF
this war. The number of lives sac
rificed in the effort to extend Christ
kingdom is very small in comparison
to the multitude slain in this conflict
When the Christian church is as de
termined to make Christ's kingdom

and when it is as ready to give it!

At The Theatres
THE ARKWAY.

"The Wondrous Melody two-reel
Eclair drama, heads the bill tonight
at the Arkway. An old man, poverty
stricken, awaits his turn to play on
his violin his own composition, vainly
hoping to win the prize. A boy, hard
ly more than child, steps to the plat
form and commences to play. The
old man listens and is appalled-the
boy is playing his own composition
playing it with an understanding, a
feeling equal to that which the old
man could give. What is the expla-
nation? The old man is mystifed-
he sees the prize slipping from his
grasp, and yet his heart warns to the
boy with a tenderness uneXplainable.
The answer? The boy is the old
mans grandson, though the old man
does not know. You must see "The
Wondrous Melody" to really appre-
ate the answer.
"Dot's Elopement," Sterling COM
edy, also will be shown tonight.

THE SCENIC LINE TO THE SAN
FRANCISCO EXPOSITION.

If you are going to the Panama
Pacific Exposition, you will surely
want to use the railroad that will per-
nit you to see the most on the way.
Lying between the Mississippi river
and the Pacific coast is stretch of
more than two thousand miles of
wonderland. All the magnificent
sights of Europe do not compare IN
natural grandeur with the mountain
heights, the canon depths, the crags
and cataracts, the forest giants, the
sweeps of plain and river vistas which
unfold in kaleidoscope order before
the eyes of the traveller between St.
Louis and San Francisco, if he uses
the Missouri Pacific, Denver & Rio
Grande and Western Pacific.
The trip over these lines is abso-
lutely the most picturesque from the
Mississippi river to Colorado, across
the Rockies and through the Sierra
Nevadas to the Pacific coast. This is
the route of The Scenic Limited, a
fast, all-steel train between st. Louis
and San Francisco and the only
through train between st. Louis and
the Pacific coast.
Be sure to use The Scenic Limited
one way anyway. For complete de-
