with a recent order OF the postoffice
department. The new carriers are
George Affolter and E. A. LeMaster,

CREWS, MEMORANDUM.
Not Ola Character to Afford Salts,
faction to United States.

Washington, June 29.-Loro
crewe's memorandum to Ambassador
Page dealing with the complaint OF
detention of American cargoes bound
for neutral ports has been made
nlblic by the State Department.
State Department officials would
NOT comment on the memorandum.
In the opinion of experts on lnterna-
t;onal law who have FOLLOWED the con-
troversv between the two govern
ments. the memorandum is not of a
character to afford much satisfac-
tion. It holds out little expectation
of material relief to American COM
merce from the hardships inflicted
upon it by British regulations es-
tablished in violation of the princi-
pies of international law, as pointed
out bv the United States in its note
of March 80. Consequently its ef-

Peace Movement Finds no

tors at Present.
STATE OBJECTIONS
General Aversion to the United States
Entering Into Any Entagling ALI
aces With Europe.

Washington, June 25-The league
to enforce peace which was launch
ed last week in Philadelphia. at a
meeting attended by former Presi-
dent Taft and others of prominence,
is not likely to get far. judging by
he manner in which it is being reciy-
ed in Washington. Thus far there is
little sign it will find favor with the
Senate of the United States, which
along with the President is the treaty
making power, or that the Administra-
ton is going to get behind it. Among
army and navy men, the league is
not taken with much seriousness.
Two objections are urged by those
who oppose the leagues propaganda.
One is that the United States would
have to engage in all ''entanglins
alliance" with European and other
foreign nations. The other is thai
the United States might easily find
'tSelf in a situation where it would
have to contribute heavily in ships AMI
men and guns to European. war in
which it had only an indirect interest.

peace would get us out Of the frying

TAKES A; RAP AT WILSON.
German Count Says President HAS
Closed Panama Canal To Favor
Allies Interests.

Berlin, June 24-The Tages Zeit-
ung, the publication Of which was
suspended last Monday by the Ger
man authorities, reappeared yester-
day.
The suspension order against this
paper was issued, according to the
general understanding, because Of on
article on the American note to Ger
many unfriendly in it's tone to the
United States.
The first issue of the Tages Zeit-
ung to appear since its suspension con-
tains another article by Count Won
Reventlow, whose previous statements
on German-American relations are
supposed to have incurred the dis
Measure of the German authorities.
In yesterdays article Count Won Re
ventlow makes covert attack upon
President Wilson in connection with
reports that a peace conference is
to be held in Switzerland, supposedly
at the instigation of the President.
After mentioning these reports the
Count says:
"Meanwhile President Wilson has
closed the Panama Canal to ship
ping trade, in order that transporta-
ton of ammunition and other war ma
terials from eastern harbors of the
United States to Valdivostok, for the
increasing Russian fighting strength,
shall not suffer interruption And
over the Atlantic at the same time are
voyaging from the United States
floating arsenals and ammunition de-
pots, in order that the cries for help
from Great Britain and France shall
be silenced as soon as possible. And
again at the same time President
Wilson demands that sure and unim-
peded journey be guaranteed these
floating arsenals."

all provisions which he had made for
his relatives and bequeSts to charita-
BILE institutions and left his entire
fortune, estimated at several hundred
thousand dollars, to his divorced wife,
Florence Gross Horwitz Key
That a reconciliation had taken
place between the former husband
and wife and they were about to be
remarked is shown by the language
of the codicil.
Mrs. Key, VINO was the daughter OF
the late Orville Horwitz, we'll
known lawyer of Baltimore. was mar
ried to Edward Key on October 81;
1888, and the couple lived together
until 1906. Mrs. Key filed a bill for
divorce. The divorce was granted in
November, 1903.
Under the will, if it had not been
revoked by the codicil, the bulk Of
the estate would have gone to Mr.
Keys collateral heirs.
The testator had made the bcquests
to relatives and friends among whom
are Mrs. Virginia Key Daingerfeld
sister, Henry and Key Daingerfeld,
Thomas and Lura Jenkins, nephews.
and nieces. To the president and

INTERVIEW WITH THE POPE.
Inaccuracies So Evident it IS Use.
less to Point Them Out, Vatican
Organ Says.

Rome, June 25-The Osservatore
Romano, the official organ of the Vat!
lean, publishes the following state
ment relative to the interview attri-
buted to Pope Benedict in La Liberi
te of Paris:
"To put our readers and all discern
ing and impartial men Of all nations
on guard against arbitrary interpre-
tation of the mind of the Holy See we
are unable to let pass without remark
the account of the interview Of for
eign journalist with the sovereign
pontiff, published and commented up
on in the newspapers.
"To cut short these interpretations
and commentaries we recall that there
is an essential difference between the
official public documents of the Holy
See and private publications. As to
that which concerns the European con-
hict the thought of the sovereign
pontiff is not doubtful because it has
been clearly expressed at different
times in numerous pontifical docu-
ments, namely the encyclical OF Nov
ember /, 1914, the Christmas dis.
course to cardinals, the consistor'al
allocution of January %, 1915, many
letters from the pontif' to cardinals
and prelates and the recent letter OF
May 20 to Cardinal Doyen.
"These official public documents re-
fleet exactly the ideas of the Pope and
Holy See who accept all responsible
itv. The other documents, namely
private publications and also the ono
discussed today, can contain and do
contain in fact, number of inaccur-
acies. Several of these inaccuracies
are so evident it is useless to point
them out.
Rome June 25.-The interview
granted La Liberte by Pope Benedict
is considered here Of such gravity
that the newspapers refused to be-
lieve it authentic until all doubt on
this score was removed by the Vat
leans statement published IN, the
Osservatore Romano.
The Giorna1e DItalia declares l.
seems impossible Benedict could have
used the language attributed to hlm.
The Tribune says the polnt'h s
words are destined to provoke anlmat-
ed discussion in France and Belgium,
and will have a grave effect because
of the interview as whole ana De-
cause the Pope spoke "of very, thorny
details with arguments which can 'e
contradicted easily"

ISLAND OF RHODES.
Spot on Which One of the Seven
Wonders Of the World Stood.

In landing on Rhodes the Italians
are renewing military acquaintance
with the island which began in the
thirteenth century, and under the
sovereignty of Venice lasted for half
century, says the London Chronicle
1t would not be easy to name more
romantic island.
The Crusades alone give it all il
needs in historic wealth, but when
the Colossus, the Rhodian law sys-
tenn, and the wonderful sculptures
and reputed great paintings are
thrown in Rhodes will stand no rival.
Rhodes, as Great Britain is today.
was at one time The greatest naval
power in the world. 1t was Rome
that shattered her power Rome to-
day is preparing to free her from
the Turkish tyrant, who fixed himself
upon the island in 1923 and has re-
manned the master ever since.
The famous Colossus, one of the
"seven wonders" of the world, no
longer exists and the tradition that
this gigantic statue bestrode the har-
Dor of the capital has lately been ex-
ploded, thus destroying another cher
ished delusion of childhood.

"But on June a the whole line was

keep the enemy occupied at all points
simultaneously, shus preventing him
from bringing up reserves at any one
point and at the same time giving oul
men further opportunity to organize
the positions already captured by
them.
"At about IL o'clock in the morn

GAS allies advanced the bayonets

The principal attack was made upon
the Turkish position located opposite
the British trenches. British soldiers
charged these trenches of the enemy
and found that. a majority of the
Turkish defenders had been killed
by the melinite shells. Without STOP
ping at their first success, our allies
charged again and were successful
in occupying the second line OF
trenches. At this point they were
given support, which permitted them
to turn about and attack and capture
a Turkish redouht which still held out
They took also further positions sit

the first line of trenches, and gained
ground approximately 500 yeards in

"The French charged simultan-

Turkish positions situated in front Of

was taken, as was also Turkish fort
