~ THE Rome of Emperor Claudlus
the small plebeian sect OF the
"Christians" was headed by be-
loved young bishop called Valentinus'
History tells US that the Emperor, anx-
ious to have the brilliant young man
won back TO paganism. sent the pima
daughter Of As.erius to convert him.
But instead. Valentine converted the
noble maiden, and also restored ner
sight. The Emperor. In fury of dis
appointment, had Valentinus impris-
oned. tortured and beheaded. This
happened February IA. 27o A. d.
Bishop valentinus was eventually can
onized, and his remains are preserved
in the Church Of st. Praxedes, at Rome.
where a gate-now Porta del Popolo-
was originally named for him "Porta

The International Encyclopedia stol-
idly remarks: at is impossible to trace
any connection between his story and
the celebration afterward connected
with his day." But we laugh at such
shortsightednessl Is 1t not clearly
written between the lines Of history
that it was love-love-which helped
Valentinus convert this naughty and
skeptical young court beauty? That

the maiden's blindness was not physi-
cal, but spiritual? And. having had
her eyes opened to love Of God and

Being satisfied on this point, we can
with a clear conscience dive still fur

LAUNCH ANOTHER
 PEACE MOVEMENT
CARDINAL GIBBONS, DEAN OF COLLEGE OF CARDINALS CON-
 FERS WITH WILSON

Washington Cardinal Gibbons, sented to President Wilson a eonf- dential communication from Pope Benedict, inviting and urging this government to cooperate with the Vatican and neutral nations to bring about peace in Europe.
 A conference on the same subject was held later at the State Depart ment between Cardinal Gibbons and Secretary of State Lansing.
 After his visits and confidential talk to and with the president, Cardinal Gibbons said:
 T think the prospects for peace are brightening."
 This statement. expressing the judg- ment of representative of the pope, after conferring with President Will son, is regarded here as indicating that definite results so far as future action by this government and the Vatican are concerned are already being achieved
 Cardinal Gibbons, the secretary of state and the president declined to reveal the details of the pope's sug- gestion. It was stated at the White House. in fact, that the president would not discuss the subject at all.
 Cardinal Gibbons said:
 "I only can tell you that I conveyed to the president message from the holy father, and that the message re lated to the subject of peace The message cannot be made public yet If I receive authority, I shall be glad to make it public The authority must come from Rome and we will have to confer about that.
 "I regard the settlement of the con- troversy between the United States and Germany as affording an excep- tional opportunity for peace proposals and as having placed the United States in a most advantageous posi-. tion to act in this direction.
 My interview with the president was most gratifying. It would, of course, be improper for me to speak in detail regarding the conference with the president, but I may say the conference was of very genial and happy character. In general way Mexico was also discussed"

BERLIN ACCEPTS
 DEMAND OF U. 5.
AMBASSADOR VoN BERNSTORFF SAYS NO MORE LINERS TO BE
 SUNK WITHOUT WARNING.

Washington. Strained relations between the United States and Ger many over submarine warfare appar- ently ended after Count yon Bern storff. the German ambassador, in. formed Secretary Lansing in writing that before the sinking of the Arabic his government had decided that it's submarines should sink no more liners without warning.
 Oral assurances to this effect were given by the ambassador last week. But it was not until Count von Born storff. after a call at the State De partment, returned to the embassy and sent a letter to MT Lansing quot ing instructions from Berlin concern ing an aswer to the last American note on the sinking of the Lusitania. that officials admitted their gratifiea- tion over Germany's change of heart.
 Count von Bernstorff's letter fol- lows:
 My Dear MT. Secretary ref. erence to our conversation. I beg to inform you that my instructions con- corning our answer to your last Lusi- tania note contains the following pas sage:
 "Liners will not be sunk by our submarines without warning and with out safety of the lives of noncombat- ants, provided that the liners do not try to escape or offer resistance
 Although I know you do not wish to discuss the Lusitania question un- til the Arabic incident has been deti- nitely and satisfactorily settled. l de- sire to inform you of the above be- cause this policy of my government was decided on before the Arabic in- eident occurred
 '1 have no objection to your mak. ing any use you may wish of the above information.
 q remain, my dear MT. Lansing,
 Yours very sincerely,
 "J. von Bernstorff. /"
 Secretary Lansing interpreted Tin err as used in the letter to mean all peaceful merchant ships. Later in conversation the German ambassador explained that regular passenger yes sels were meant There seemed to be no disposition, however. to question the intention of the Berlin government to grant the fundamental demands of the United States.

At the end of that time they will receive the minimum wage of SIPS per day, provided for eXper' fenced women workers under the min imum wage law passed by the last leg islature. According to MT. Clary some of the apprentices have been paid as low as $10 per month at the start. Alp proXimatelv 200 women and girls will be affected by the increase. The aver age increase will be p per cent.
 Soon after the minimum wage law went into effect the commission en- deavored to reach an agreement with the telephone company" MT. Ciary. said. "We submitted the proposition that has just been agreed upon to the local officials The commission felt it would be better to make some kind of an agreement rather than to seek to enforce the law immediately under threat Of prosecution and to avoid liti- gation in the courts as much as pos sible We are well pleased with the agreement"

P Nafarrate, com manding the Carranza troops opposite the Brownsville section At the same time Maj. w. H. Hay, chief of staff for Maj-Gen. Frederick Funston, took a trip along the border above here |. was believed his trip contemplated an important disposition of small army of American troops, either now here or en route, to enable them better to control the skirmishing across the in- ternational line. For the first time Tn several days, none of this intermittent fighting was reported by army patrols or Texas rangers Gen. Nafarrate said that Gen. Garranza wired him to enforce strict neutrality at this bor- der. Nafarrate said he replied that to. do this he must have more troops He is awaiting Gen. Carranza's answer.
 Nafarrate saying that he wished to cooperate with the American military 'fothOAAtiNS, saw NilC lOllpN HIS Outiilli of border fighting. as reported from his side of the line:
 "We have received orders from First Chief Carranza to strictly ob. serve neutrality and not to help in any way tho Texas revolutionists. Un- friendly reports have said several times that our men have crossed to the Texas side to fight. That is wrong. because our review list the first of this month shows no man is missing We have given order to our officers not once but three times. not to fire cn American troops, even if they fire on us. Two days ago we received a telegram that at Cavazos crossing Texas rangers and Sheriff Bakers men came to the American side of the river and fired on our troops, killing two ci. vilians and wounding one Carranza of ficer. This officer did not order his men to return the fire, but instead to retire immediately from the river bank. He had orders not to shoot, and he did not shoot"
