POPE PLANS NEW MOVE
IN INTEREST OF PEACE
Will Ask Cooperation of Neutral
Countries in Document Soon
to Be Issued.

Rome. Aug. s-The Pope is about to
take q new step In favor Of cessation
Of hostilities. The Corriere dItalia says
today:
1.-THE Pope continues to work for peace
that shall be Just and shall respect the
rights of nations. He does not speak as
an advocate of this or that people. or
even as an advocate of the italian people;
his voice should resound As q solemn
admonition to all who today seek to i'm
pose q peace without having regard for
the rights and Just aspirations Of op-
pressed peoples
1t is pointed out that a clause was
explicitly consecrated to this matter in
the Pope's recent letter and should be
moro carefully considered by the Ger
mans and every other nation which has
remorse of conscience.
Private Information enables me to say
that the coming papal document will be
moro definite than the former one. The
Pope will address himself especially to
the neutral countries. invoking their CO.
operation. He Is in consultation now, as
formerly. with all the members Of the
Sacred College on this question.

piled by Snow to date show the winter
wheat crop will total SIS, oOo. 900 bushels
and the spring 3o5, osO, 900, making q total
of 994, 000 90 bushels.
The rainfalls have decreased grain
crops q little, he finds, but the large
acreage this year will more than make
up for 1t. Iowa reports all her wheat
has been cut except per cent.
There has been q scarcity of cash
wheat since the rain began. causing con-
tract prices to jump six cents a bushel.
Delay in threshing cut wheat is the
only trouble grain houses have had, 4"

there will be plenty to SELL
Oats. Snow declared, was the prin-
