Fear that a break between the
United States and Germany would
impair the ability of the United
States to aid in restoring peace In
Europe is said to have Influenced
Pope Benedict in communicating
with the President. The message,

gestion in Germany's last note tina.

among officials here. The Pope.
like President Wilson, Is understood
to be ready to make peace sugges-
tons when he believes the time ripe.
The President read with careful
attention to-day the portion Of the
note touching on peace. Unusual
significance was attached to that
part of the note because il was taken
to indicate officially that recent
speeches Of Chancellor Won Beth
mann-Hollweg before the Reichstag
were intended as notices TO the world
that Germany was ready for pea&c
on certain terms.

months announced before the world
its readiness Il make peace on "a
basis safeguarding Germany's vi, al
interests, thus indicating it is jot
Germany's fault if peace is s ill
withheld from the nations Of Eu-
rope"
1t was thought to-day the Ger.
man note might possibly draw forth
something from the Allies. The
papal plea could well pave the way
to such a course.
Other Signs Of Peace Bid.
The Pope's plea, taken in connection
with dispatches from Rotterdam and
Berlin to-day, has led TO other infer
ences also. Germany's desire TO return
10 old conditions Of contraband before
the war is seen as an attempt 10 get
in touch with England through the
medium Of the United States. Nego-
tiations once opened, there would be
the opportunity to discuss peace terms
to greater advantage than contraband.
A similar method, it is pointed out,
was used with reference TO Ambssss-
dor Gerard's visit to the Kaiser at
Great Headquarters. While the nomi-
nal object was understood 20 be the
discussion of Germany's reply, the
Kaiser broadened the conference 70

gotiations.
Pope Benedict has been represented
as being hopeful that the United States
would be the agency to bring peace 20
Europe. Several months ago Cardinal
Gibbons brought word on the general
subject to the President from the Pope.

ficting explanations we're made in

DEATH OF YOUNG EWING.
Well Known and Highly Respect
ed Citizen Dies After Long
Illness.

After a prolonged struggle
with a complication of ills, Young
Ewing, a prominent member of
one of the foremost families of
the county, died Tuesday morn
ing at his home, 303 Washington
Avenue. Death was due to a
combination of heart and kid
ney trouble. Mr.. Ewing was
taken sick last November and de-
clined steadily. Several weeks
ago it was apparent that death
was inevitable. In spite of all
that loving hands could do for
him, he became weaker and
weaker. During the present hot
spell he had great difficulty in
breathing.
So when the news of his death
came, it was not a surprise, 1t
caused, however, profound sor-
row in the community.
Young Ewing was born five
miles south of Lexington, March
n, 1864, and at the time of his
death was fifty-two years of age.
He was the son of the late N. c.
and Catherine Ewing. He was
reared in the country. In 1890
he came to Lexington, where for
twenty-One years he was engag-
ed in the grocery business, sew
enteen years in partnership with
John Eggleston and four years
with J. F. Winn. He was a
capable business man and en-
ijoyed a good patronage as long
as ne was IN business.
In September, 1898, he was
married to Miss Ida Page of
Buckner, Missouri, who was
a splendid helpmate for him.
During his illness, Mrs. Ewing
was untiring and wonderfully
patient in her efforts to provide
for his comfort.
He is survived by his widow !;
one son, Joel a sister, Mrs. John
Eggleston; and a brother, Joel
H. Ewing, all of Lexington.
The funeral services conduct
ed by Rev. S. o. Hall, were held
from the home Wednesday after
noon at 2:3O o'clock.

DEATH OF GEO. H. STIER.
A Former Citizen of Lexington
Dies in Kansas City After
an Illness of Several
Months.

George Holiday Stier, a form
er citizen of Lexington and a
widely known insurance repres-
entative of the Mutual Life, died
Sunday at 1890 o'clock at his
home, 1922 Broadway, Kansas
City, Mo. Mr.. Stier had been
complaining for several months
but only recently was his con-
ditiOn such as to cause serious
apprehension by members of his
family. His death was due to
heart and kidney trouble.
Mr.. Stier was born in Virginia,
and was about 65 years of age.
When a mere child his parents
moved to Iowa where he was
raised and where he first engag-
ed in the business which in af-
ter years brought him honor and
success. Mr.. Stier was a self
made man in the truest sense.
Without education or parental
influence he tackled the prob
lens of life and through his own
efforts gained success in a diff
fcult field Of endeavor. When a
young man he learned the har-
ness trade in Oscaloosa, Iowa,
and afterwards engaged in the
business in Red Oak, Iowa.
Leaving this he studied law for
two years in the Office of ex-
Governor Drake at Centerville,
Iowa. During this time he be-
came interested in the insurance
business and meeting with con-
siderable success, he decided to
drop the law and make insurance
his life's work. He came to Lex
ingtOn about twenty years ago
and formed a partnership with
the late Geo. M. Mountioy. His
success was very pronounced and
soon became one of the MutuaPs
most valuable men. About ten
years ago he was made general
superintendent of the company
and moved to Kansas City, where
he has since resided.
Mr.. Stier was a most afiable
gentleman, courteous and oblig-
ing. He knew his business anC
succeeded.
Mr.. Stier is survived by his
wife, who was formerly Miss
Florida Taggart of Milan, Mo.
one daughter, Miss Florida, liv.
ing at home, and one son, Ear
T., of this city.
The funeral was held from
the home, 1922 Broadway, Kan

HEAD RETURNS
FROM JAPAN

James A. Kennedy, president OF the
Understand Steam Navigation Cons
nany, arrived today on the Shinyo
Maru from Japan. Accompanying
him were his daughter. Miss Jessie
Kennedy, and Miss Mary Lucas. Ken
.nedy was unable to visit any other
country than Japan, due to the war
and the revolution in China, where all
tourists are discouraged from going.
Freight rates from japan are go
ing up again, said Kennedy, but 4
believe after this raise they viii have
reached their limit. Freight Is very
congested in Japan, but now that the
Panama canal is open permanently
for traffic expect to see a relief All
warehouses are full and large con-
signments of freight are piled on the
streets with only tafpaxllins over them.
Because of congestion of freight
the 81 ~ * IS putting more and more
steamers On the run to America Re-
Gently combination of shipping firms
cut rates from the Orient to America,
which looked for time like rate
war. but when left 1t had been prac-
tically agreed that they would use
the rates put in force by the Il. Y. K
from apanS and the N y. X would
agree to charge the rates adopted by
the combination from Oriental ports
outside OF Japan.
business In Japan is booming, =
continued Kennedy, and as soon as
the congestion is regulated business
should resume its normal trend. Ja.l
pan Is shipping large quantities of am
munition to Russia and ali other kinds
of manufacturing plants are thriving.
japanese shipyards are filled with
vessels under construction, but they
are greatly delayed from lack of steel
plates which, can only be obtained
from the United States at the present
time and with the scarcity Of vessels
this demand Is very crucial"
Kennedy said that he had a very
wonderful trip: No one in his party;
was sick on either trip and their stay
in japan was filled with many delight.
