Large Crowd Gives Close Atten tion to Speech in Which Cover nor Makes Report of His Stew ardship.

Gov. Geo. w. Hays was the principal speaker at the big pic nic and old settlers reunion held at Newark last week. The gover nor spoke Friday when the at- endance was estimated at }, 900 to 5000 people and was given close attention by a large part of the enormous crowd. The governors g speech was in the nature of a re- port of his stewardship since he has been governor. The speech was well received and was the subject of much favorable con- ment. The governor was intro duced by Hon. T. H. Dearing and spoke as follows;
 Mir. Chairman Ladies and Gent lemen. It is with great pleasure that l am afforded the opportun- ity of meeting with the splendid citizenship of Independence coun- ty again l remember quite well being here just a little more than three years ago when l was mak- ing my first race for Governor and have always been grateful for the kind and cordial reception accorded me at that time. l have long since craved an opportunity to visit you again and express to your citizenship my profound gratitude for the splendid vote you gave me in the primary cleo tion on the 21st of June, 1913. 1 shall always remember that occa- sion with pleasure and a deep sense of gratitude. What 1 am and what 1 have done, the SUD- port of friends has enabled me to go, thus. far along the path way of life. The only way I have had of repaying you for the splendid vote given me and the endorsement of your people has been in endeavoring to make you a faithful and conscientious ser want.

NO INTENTION OF
POPE TO START
PEACE ATTEMPTS
Holy See Also Will Not Com
ment upon Germany's Peace
Proposals

Rome. Via. Paris, Dec 1S.-Pope Ben
edict has no intention of attempting to
mediate among the belligerents at pres
ent, according to a statement issued to-
day by the Vatican. The statement SAYS
that neither the Pope nor the Holy See
las any wish to make comment concern
lag Germanys peace proposals and
therefore any announcements attributed
to him are absolutely unfounded. It is
added that the Pope naturally has an ar
dent desire for peace but that he does
not believe Intervention at the present
moment would hasten it's conclusion.
The net result of several resolutions
introduced in the Chamber of Deputies
regarding the German peace offer and a
prolonged discussion among the Sena-
tors and deputies was the decision by
the legislators that no peace would be
accepted unless in accordance with ma
uonal aspirations and the rights Of peo-
pies based on the principle Of nationali-
ty. II such peace is impossible to OBJ
tain automatically it was declared that
t must be obtained by victory Of arms.

MIGHT Not PaSS HITIeS
It is extremely doubtful, regardless
Of the American attitude whether a
new Turkish ambassador would be al
lowed to pass the allied lines. The
French have maintained that Turkey,
by acts in Armenia, by Imprisonment
Of French and other consuls and civil
ians, and by general disregard OF the
dictates of humanity. has placed her
self outside the pale Of diplomatic in
tercourse. It is said to have been
largely for this reason that the allies
refused to grant formally a safe con-
duct to Count Tarnowski, the new Aus
trian ambassador as it was not desired
to create a precedent which would be
used in the Turkish case.
