With $50 Dinner

been entertained, so that by $3.50 the
dinner was all in readiness. Covers
for "a were laid and most delicious
dinner was served.
The Club house has recently I'M
dergone some needed improvements
and it proved most delightful place
for the dinner and the social hour.
Audubon was able to outscore the
visitors, which of course was ex-
pected inasmuch as our players were
familiar with the grounds. Audubon
scored 81 points to Atlantic 10.
The object of these social gather
ings is to promote more sociability
and a more neighborly feeling be-
tween the two towns. Yesterdays
affair brought the people of Atlantic
and Audubon into closer touch and
all of them feel that the gathering
was of such a character that it would
be well worth repeating. Following

POPE OFFERS
PLAN Of PEACE
Specific Program Sets Forth an APP
peal for Peace to All the
Warning Nations.

To the warning nations of the earth
has come another appeal for peace
from Pope Benedict.
The foundation stones of the plan
of the pontiff for world tranquility
are reduction of ornaments and free
dom of the seas, and that there shall
be no retaliatOry struggle after the
war for world commercial supremacy.
Specific proposals made to the belli-
gerents, unofficial reports say, include
the restoration of Belgium, Serbia
and Roumania. The question of
Alsace-Lorraine, Trent and Trieste
and Poland. it is suggested. should be
adjusted peacefully. The pope's plan
also calls for the return to Germany
of all her colonies.
In July, 1915, Pope Benedict made
his first appeal for peace. At that
time the pontiff invited all friends of
peace to join with him in his desire
TO bring hostilities to an end. Almost
simultaneously with the latest appeal
of Pope Benedict China entered the
ranks of the belligerents by formally
declaring war upon Germany and
Austria-Hungary.
Pope Benedict's peace proposals
were not unexpected to the United
States nor to any of the entente
allies.
The possibility of peace move was
discussed with British Foreign Min
lister Balfour and Vice Premier Wv
iani when the British and French
official missions were in Washington
and it was agreed that all the allies
including the United States. should
refuse to discuss peace terms while
Germany occupied the territories she
had taken by force. and thereby avoid
what the allied statesmen considered
q German trap.
Now the pontiff's proposal presents
the question in a somewhat different
light, difficult perhaps to meet. but il
offers to war weary world a hope
for peace.
Germany and her allies are expect
cd promptly to accept the pope's pro-
sails.
Allies Will Reject Ii.
American officials acknowledge that
the vaticans prefer is of nature
calling for a reply Diplomats OF the
entente circle voice nothing but a
unanimous opinion that it will be re-
jected. American officials realize that
convincing reply is required for the
worlds page of history. That the
proposals cannot be accepted as they
stand is certain. That they will not
be accepted at all is probable.

Exemptions Are Appealed.

After the local board had allowed
these exemptions, the government ap-
pealed each case through the county
attorney. T. NJ. Rasmussen of Extra.
Each case will be fully gone into and
the exemptions revoked if they do
not comply with the rulings of the
provost marshal.
In several of the counties adjoining
Audubon, there is great deal of
comment for the fairness in which the
Audubon county board rendered their
decisions. The government furnished
them the instructions and they obeyed
them to the letter as well as the spirit
of the law. These men wanted TO be
absolutely fair, and did not propose
to exempt any man who did not come
within the ruling. There is general
satisfaction in all parts of the county
for the manifest fairness and Mr.. Will
son, Mr.. NOrthup and DR.. Brooks are
to be congratulated for the manner in
which they rendered their decisions.
TO Mobilize Sept. ..
Mobilization instructions were re-
ceived by the board today and it pro-
vides that the men drafted are to
leave September 5. That is to say,
the first per cent that is to be called
out at that time. The department
may yet revise their order and ac-
cept ali of the men on that date. but
the plan at this time is to call in 80
per cent September 5th, 80 per cent
September Is, and 30 per cent Sep
TENDER so.
The men called are not TO appear
in Audubon more than As hours be-
fore that date nor II hours later.
They will be called together in Audu-
bon and sent to Des Moines. A cap
tain will be selected from among the
men who will be authorized to de-
liver the proper papers to the adju-
tant general at the mobilization camp
| in Des Moines. AS soon as the men
present themselves on September 5th
they automatically enter the govern
ment service and their pay will start
| from that day and date.
The men who come 10 Audubon
will have to be fed and provided for
at the expense of the state from the
time they present themselves until
