NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-There We're
once more signs Of a prevalent ten
dency to reaction on the stock ex-
change today: they found expression
in rather frequent fractional declines,
after prices had advanced. Buying or
ders came in with rather striking per
sistance at such concessions. The
downward movement was therefore
irregular, and in some stocks was
not in evidence at all. In the closing
half hour. selling pressure became
more general and prices ended with a
downward tendency.
But the net changes in prices Of
stocks were not important. On the
bond market the active buying whicn
has prevailed throughout the week.
continued, and the advance in prices
for high grade investment issues was
perhaps more noteworthy than on any
proceeding day this week.

ROME, Jan. 22.-Recommendatlo
that the Germans in the future tex
ercise more moderation in their de-
vastation and respect priests and
churches In Belgium was made by
Pope Benedict in addressing the con-
sistory today. His admonition creai-
ed profound sensation here. The
to the Germano fol-
lowed warning that the apostolic see
must observe strict neutrality in the
European war.
The pope also appealed to his peo-
Pile in Belgium to "use the greatest
prudence to avoid useless hloodshed."
The pope's admonition was consid-
cred remarkable in view of the fact
that it was the first protest by neu-
trail sovereign against the alleged acts
Of the Germans in Belgium. II follow
ed the famous pastoral letter sent out
by Cardinal MERCER to priests in BEL
GUM.
Formal protests against the cardin-
ais alleged detention by the German
military authorities In Belgium was
transmitted to Berlin by the holy see.
The attitude of his holiness Is un-
derstood to be from reports that have
been made TO him by Belgian pre-
Iates Of conditions in their country and
In particular to the Cardinal Mercier
incident. Pressure also has been
brought to bear on the holy see for
some time by the allies, to cause the
pope to take stand In favor Of Bel

against Germany-on humanitarian

There is ever song somewhere, my
dear;
There is ever something sings Away;
There's the song Of the lark when
the skies are clear,
And the song Of the thrush when the
skies are gray.
The sunshine showers across the
grain,
And the blue bird trills in the Or
chard tree,
And in and out when the leaves drip
The swallows are twittering cease
lessly.
There is ever song somewhere, my
dear
In the midnight black or the midday
blue;
The robin pipes when the sun Is here,
And the cricket chirrups the whole
night through.
The buds may blow and the fruit
may grow
And the autumn leaves drop crisp
and sere;
But whether the sun or the rain or
the snow
There is ever a song somewhere. my
dear.

CANADA IS AFTER
BRIDGE DYNANITER
Formal Application For Ex
tradition of Van Horn
is Made to u S.

Washington, Feb. i.--(Argus Special
SeryiceD.-Canadian authorities today
made formal application for the extra
dition of Werner Van Horn. who sew.
eral Gays ago attempted to dynamite n
bridge over the ST. CroiX river.
Secretary Bryan referred the COM
munication to the solicitor of the de-
partment for examination as to its
form. II the application is found to be
regular, Van Horn will be ordered be
fore United States commissioner
nearest to vanceboro. where he Is now
under detention. and the Canadian
authorities will have the chance to
make out q prima facie case sufficient
to Justify the demand for the surren-
der of the prisoner.
Should the commissioner decide that
there is no case against Van Horn. the
prisoner might he discharged without
further proceedings. II he holds the
man for extradition, then II is compe-
tent for Van Horn to take an appeal to
the state department. 1t is even pos
sible. In extreme cases, for the United
States courts TO be invoked in the
prisoners behalf.
Van Horn already has indicated his
purpose OF fighting extradition. In n
telegram today he appealed to the Ger
man ambassador to look after his in
terests, declaring he was German
subject and did not put foot on Cam
adian soil'
The last statement was taken here
to indicate purpose on the part OF
the prisoner to make the technical
point that though he was on the bridge
he did not actually stand on Canadian
soil Officials here attach no import
ancc to this plea.
The German embassy delayed pass
Ing on Van Horns request pending a
report on his citizenship from the Ger
man consul general In New York.
ULy.als OF ,Gc state department de-
cline TO express any opinion publicly
In regard To the suffcicncy OF Van
Horns contention that his offcnsc was
political that II was an act of war
directed against his country's enemy
and that Il was his intention 10 prevent
the continued transportation across
the bridge OF troops and munitions of
war going TO Europe to be used against
Germany.
II was pointed out, however that TO
prove that his act was an act OF war,
Van Horn must produce evidence that
he was acting under higher authority
and by direct orders. The act OF an
individual on his own responsibility
usually is not accounted an act OF
war.
On the other hand, II the prisoner
should produce evidence 10 show that
he was acting under explicit direction
and authority OF the German govern
ment, II Is said violation OF the nou-
trality OF the United States By Ger
many might be involved.
The Canadian government, in maxi
ing It's application. referred TO the man
as an ordinary civil criminal. Incl
dentally IL is pointed out, this insures
