Rome, via Paris, July 81 90 a. M
Failure of the pope's appeals to the
warning nations for peace was admit
ted by the pontiff in addressing a del
egation of the youth of Rome yester-
day The delegation prayed for peace
in accordance with the pOpe's appeal
to God on the last Sunday of the sec

war.
The popes aid the war, which was
ravaging all the earth, was not visi-
BILE on all faces, although such car
mage made an ever-present call for
mediation and patience. Yet, he said,
adults were unable to fOrego the at
fractions of life, and that was why he
turned to the children, who are near
est and dearest to God by their limo
cenCe and weakness.
We, the father of all the faithful,
he said, have suffered, were exhOrted
and prayed for two years, but our ex-
hortatiOns to the combatants to lay
down their arms and seek a settle

Chicago, July 31.-Chicago and the
middle west today awaited the drop in
temperature promised by tomorrow at
the latest, which was expected to
break the long heat spell.
1t was said at the weather bureau
that the cool wave would be felt in
Chicago possibly by tonight at Z
O'Clock and that by daylight tomorrow
morning it will be pleasant.
The government temperature at
O'Clock this morning was 50 degrees,
three degrees lower than on Saturday
morning at the same time. Brisk winds
gave added relief.
Chicago, after yesterdays sad spec
tacle of lis deaths attributed to the
heat and more than 400 prostrations,
for the most part slept out doors again
last night. Parks were crowded. More
than 100000 persons spent yesterday
and last night in Lake Michigan.
The record breaking death rate of
the last week has seriously tested the
facilities of the coroner's office, while
the prostrations have taxed the local
hospitals and burdened the city's pro-
vision to the limit Upwards of fifty
babies succumbed to the heat yester-
day. Among animals the death rate
has almost established a new record.
Dead horses were reported lying along
the streets in many sections of the
city.
Relief from the torrid temperature
was felt today over the country west
of Chicago as far as che Rocky noun
tains and north of a line drawn through
northern Iowa. The cool wave grad
ually moved south today and is expect
ed to reach central Illinois this after
noon or tomorrow, though the drop in
temperature is not expected to equal
that here or in the north. In some
points in southern Illinois and it's lati-
tude, the temperature is likely to re-
main slightly above normal, it is pre-
Gicted.
While the extreme heat in Chicago
lasted about three weeks, in the plains
states generally, it reigned about a
month.
