PEACE PLEA FAVORS
NO PARTY, SAYS POPE

Rome, Oct. Pope Benedict.
in a letter to Cardinal Won Hart
mann, Archbishop of Cologne. and
other German archbishops, laments
that his invitation in behalf OF
peace has given rise to suspicion
on one side and open offence on
the other. as though, instead of
being dictated by an ardent desire
to settle the quarrel Justly and
rightly. it had been dictated by
the hope Of securing advantage to
himself.
The Pontif add, that perlurba-
tion of spirit ha, prevented normal
judgment and the recognition Of
the truth. so that what to many is
self-evidcnt becomes obscure
namely, that "thc Pontif. the
Vicar of the King of Peace and the
Father of all Christians. in conse-
quence of his high ministry. may
admonish, persuade and exhort in
behalf Of peace-peace, not in
favor Of one party. but for all
humanity"
The letter closes with a prayer
that peace may soon return.

B0RDEN'S BRINGS
200 COWS HERE
Experiment Being Made to
Cut Cost of Milk
Production.

Poughkeepsie, n. Y, Oct. Two
hundred cows will be sent to New fork
City this week for experimentation on
the cost of milk production under new
methods, II. n. Hallock, vicc-president
of the Borden's Condensed Milk Com
many. announced here tonight. 1t is
expected that the cows will be stabbed
at the companys station in Flush
ing, L. |.
perhaps our experiments will show
that the farmers method o. producing
milk is uneconomic," Mr.. Ha!lock said.
1--WE have heard much in TIE last week
about the hardships of the milk pro-
ducers. Certain Investigations carried
on by Borden's indicate that turning
COWS out to pasturage may not be the
best way to make high grade milk.
SilO Feeds for Cows.
an our New York experiments we
propose to feed the cows from silos.
They will not get any pasturage. II
we find that milk can be produced
economically by bringing cows to the
city, this information will be of value
in working out the great problem OF
the milk industry. BY transporting the
cows to the city the cost of hauling
milk many miles in refrigerator cars
would be eliminated.
"All our ideas on this matter are In
the experimental stage. We do not ex-
pect that the milk produced from 200
cows will have any effect on the pres
ent shortage due to the dispute be-
tween large distributors and the Dairy
mems League"
There is no objection from the point
of view Of public health TO bringing
cows within the city limits. Commits
osioner Haven Emerson of the Health
Department said last night, as long as
the owners comply with the regulations
Of the department.
"There are more than 10000 cows
within the city limits Of New York
now" he said. "Some of them are on
dairy farms. We demand that the
cows be subjected TO the tuberculin
test. that they be stabbed in barns
erected under our direction. and that
the milk produced conform to the
standards OF the Health Department.

Death Mixes Babies, To Grief

Michael Nspis. who lives at 4 Vine

yesterday humming = Russian melody,
for q card which the priest had trans
lated for him had lifted the shadow
that had hung over his home for weeks.
1t said his little girl, eighteen months
old, whom a white jacketed man had
taken away in an ambulance despite
his wife's protests, had recovered from
infsntile paralysis.
In obedience to the summons Mrs.
Napis was to call st the Yonkers City
Hospital for Contagious Diseases, and
when Michael returned there would be
one more smile to welcome him.
Joy Turns to Grief.
Clutching the talismsnic card, Mrs.
Nspis took her seat on the edge OF
bench in the office of the hospital.
When her turn came she thrust the bit
Of pastebosrd at the trim, efficient
looking woman who questioned her.
A few more tense minutes, and the
nurse returned, carrying a baby.
Smiling at the rapture in the mothers
face, she laid the child in her arms,
drawing down the blanket a trife.
Mrs. Napis, turning to hide her emo
tion from the people who had kept her
baby so long, bent her head over the
nesting burden. Then she wheeled
suddenly, suspicion glowing in her
features. Torrential Slavic sentences
burst from her lips. She thrust the
baby back into the arms of the nurse
and collapsed on the bench, weeping.
An interpreter was called. He ex-
plained that Mrs. Nepis said the child

Mrs. Nepis arose slowly, and, with
out a glance at the happy woman II IN
black, the smiling baby or the EN-
cient-looking nurse. she walked from
the room. She muttered something
as she walked.
"What does she say?" asked the
eAicient-looking nurse, who feared the
shock might have unbalanced the
woman. -,
"She says, What shall tell
Michael?'" replied the Interpreter
"But / think she means no harm"
