Moved by Misfortunes.

las vicar of Him who is the peaceful
king and prince of peace, we cannot be
but moved by the misfortunes of so
many of our children; we cannot but
continually raise our hands in suppli-
cation to the God of Mercies. entreat-
ing Him with our whole heart that He
may deign in His power to put an end
to this sanguinary conflict.
while we seek with all our re-
sources to alleviate the doleful conse-
quences, we feel obliged by our apos-
tolic Office to inculcate anew the only
means which can quickly put an end
to the tremendous confiagration.
Prepare for that peace which the
whole of humanity ardently wishes for
that is. peace that is just and lasting
not advantageous to one alone of the
belligerent parties.
The way which can surely lead to
this happy result is that which has
already been tried and found salts
factory in similar circumstances, and
of which we made mention in our last
be it direct or indirect, based upon good
will and calm deliberation and set forth
with clearness, duly recognizing the
aspirations of all, eliminating the un-
just and impossible and taking into
account with equal measure what is
just and possible.
Concessions Necessary.
Naturally, as in all human contro-
versies, which must be settled through
the efforts OF the contending parties
themselves, it is absolutely necessary
that concessions be made upon some
point by both parties: that some of the
hoped-for advantages must be renounc-
ed, and that each must make with
good grace such concession, even at
the cost of some sacrifice, not to
assume before God and man the enor-
moas responsibility for the continual ion
of this shedding of blood, of which
history records no counterpart and
which, IL prolonged further. might
mean for Europe the beginning of de-
cadence from the degree of prosperous
civilization to which the Christian re-
ligion has raised her from nothing"

The German auxiliary cruiser Prinz

customs collector at Norfolk, that the
Frye was sunk in the South Atlantic
on Jan. 81, after the Eitel had taken
off Captain Kiehne and all others on
board.
AS nearly as can be learned, the
Frye was sunk because she was al
legged to have been carrying contra
band Of war. The collector has made a
report to Washington on the subject.
The surgeon called on Collector
Hamilton as the representative of
Captain Thierichens. 1t is said that he
told the collector that the chief rea.
son for the cruisers coming to port
was to land those taken from the
ships SEN to the bottom by the eruis-

the cruiser had enough fuel and pro-
visions to last two months.
Within an hour after the Prinz
Eitel Friedrich had arrived in Hamp.
ton Roads a request was made to the
Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry
Dock company for information wheth-

work on repairs. The shipbuilding
company Immediately communicated
the request to the navy department
at Washington and asked whether the
United States would have any objec-

MEXICAN CAPITAL
U.S.FORFOOD
Red Cross Appeals to Bryan
For Relief.
CONDITIONS GROWING WORSE
Wilson Fears Outbreaks of Mobs
Made Desperate by Hunger and
Urges Americans to Leave.

The Mexican Red Cross appealed to
the American Red Cross, through
Secretary of State Bryan, for food for
the starving populace in Mexico City.
The appeal of the Mexican society
stated that the famine in the Mexican
capital was growing worse.
Miss Mabel T. Boardman, of the
American Red Cross, consulted with
Secretary Bryan and Counsellor Lam
sing, of the state department, in re-
gard to the Mexican relief. 1t was de-
cided to await further information
from Mexico City before taking final
steps.
The ACCESSIBILITY of inviting some
other American countries, especially
Argentina, Brill and Chile, to join
the United States in the Mexican re.
lief work, was suggested.
The greatest fear of government Of
f~icials, as stated by President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan, is of outbreaks
of mobs driven desperate by hunger,
and it is to escape these consequences
that the state department Is trying to
get out all of the Americans still in
Mexico City who desire to leave the
capital.
There vas a tendency on the part
of the officials generally, however, to
believe that the change in control of
Mexico City would serve to improve
the situation there.
Plans have been formulated. 1t is
understood, to urge Carranza to ne.
open the railroad from Vera Cruz to
Mexico City, which recently has been
used only for military purposes, SO
that Americans can take ships for the
United States.

ing on the left bank of the Vistula
and along the Pilitza, southwest of
Warsaw. The Russians claim that
they are forcing the Germans back
northwest of Grodno and in the re-
gion of Mlawa. The German state
ment on this point says the operations
north and west of Grodno are pro-
ceeding in accordance with the pre-
arranged schedule. The Russians al
so stae that Austrian forces which
had crossed the San were annihilated
by a counter attack by the Russians.

SURPRISE AT FRYE'S FATE
Had Non-Contraband Cargo Aboard
and Sinking Called Uniustified.

Had NORTHUMBERLAND Cargo Aboard
and Sinking Called Unjustified.
The news of the sinking of the
American ship William P. Frye in the
South Atlantic on Jan. 27 by the
Prinz Eitel Friedrich caused a sensa.
ton in official and diplomatic circles
In Washington.
Without having a full report and
some consideration of the subject, Of
icials were reserving their comment.
1t is a well-established principle of in
ternatiOnal law, however, that the
Prinz Eitel Friedrich had no right to
destroy the Frye if she were carrying
a non-contraband cargo, such as
wheat, with which she sailed from
Seattle.
If she were carrying contraband OF
war the Eitel had a right to seize her
and probably, under certain circum.
stances, the law of military necessity
warrants the destruction of such a
ship and compels reparation to the
owners.
The Frye carried a policy for $11,-
