NO BASIS FOR RUMORS
 OF PEACE TERMS
President Wilson Declares-Reportcd Pope Is Ready to Support U. S.
 to End War.

Washington, April 15.-Comment- ing on a published statement of Pope Benedict that the latter had indi- cated a desire to support any move the United States might make for peace, President Wilson declared to- day that intimations of this charac- ter had been frequently conveyed to him through different persons.
 He said, however, no formal com munication had come to him on the subject. Asked whether the United States recently had learned officially or unofficially of the terms upon which the belligerents might be ready to make peace, the president said re- gretfully there has been no basis whatsoever so far as he knew for the rumors to that effect.
 While the United States government was not consulted in connection with the International Women's peace gathering at The Hague, the president indicated today that the movement had his sympathetic support. Although the meeting has had no official status MT. Wilson said he understood th delegates had not asked for officii authority before they preferred to ac, unofficially

LESS THAN ONE THIRD HAD
 CAST VOTES AT 1 O'CLOCK
Little Interest Is Being Shown Except in the Fifth
 Ward.

General apathy is the feature of to- days election. At 1 o'clock this af- ternoon less than one third of those who are entitled to suffrage had vls- ited the polls to register their choice and it is generally believed that the heaviest voting had taken place.
 Particular attention is being paid to the fifth ward by the democratic and republican parties. The former is centralizing its efforts to prevent that ward from toppling into the G. O. P. abyss as it has been frolioing on the brink and coming nearer to the plunge each year. The republicans are making a special drive to capture the ward from the democrats and there are few affiliated with the G. O. F., who expected to see it do "a political handspring today although. the majority of leaders are not so op- ttmistic.
 The vote by wards at 1 o'clock and the total voting strength of each ward arc follows.

PEACE FLAG FLOATS OVER
 HOLLAND-ANERCAN LINER
American Delegates Board Vessel to Sail for Confer
 ence at The Hague.

L.. New York, April 13.-A huge peace flag floated from masthead of the l Holland America Line steamship
 Noordam today as the forty or more 1 delegates from America went on board to sail for Rotterdam to at- tend the international women's con- ference at The Hague.
 Miss Jane Addams Of Chicago, who led the delegation. said she had doubts whether it was permissible to fly the flag until sine received last night a message from Q representa- tive who had consulted Robert Lam sing, counsellor for the state depart
 ment at Washington. The message sad:
 "Oficially the United States can
 say nothing, as it is a foreign ship.
 But fly ahead"
 The flag was a snow white peunant
 bearing the word peace" in blue let ters. It was given by Mayor Mitchell
 of New York. 1t was designed by the women delegates aided by agents Of the steamship line. Speaking of the flag at a farewell dinner last evening,
 Miss Addams had said that we can not guess what a foreign submarine WILL uO dI tne slBllI VI q iltN JA0G lb attack, but we are secure in our con- viction to do what we can for peace"
 Friends of the delegates and sup porters Of the peace movement who gathered at the pier discussed with some concern Miss Addams' intima- ton in her speech that the voyage might be attended with some danger and that it was possible that the de!- egates might never reach The Hague. The ship. may be interned in some harbor and never reach Rotterdam" she said.
 Among the delegates were Mrs. Patrick Lawrence, the English suf- fragist; Miss Alice Carpenter. Miss Mary Chamberlain. Mrs. Frank Goth ren. Miss Madeline z. Doty. and Miss Leonora O'Reilly fo New York; Mrs. George Rublee of Washington: Mss Sophonisba Breckenridge of Chicago; Miss Grace Abbott. Dr. Alice Hamil> ton. Miss Rebecca Shelly.

 on Local Fairgrounds.

Jack" Rourke, physical director at Colgate college, has been selected by the public amusement commis- sion to have charge of athletics on local playgrounds again this sum- mer. MT. Rourke was in charge last year and his efforts met with great success
 Thomas w. Griffin, director of the Landers playground last year. has written to Chairman Prior of the com mission regarding the conduct at the playground which has been under fire. MT.
