Entire Family in Service of U. S

Denver-Jennings D. Mcleod, spe-
cial agent of the United States gen
eral land office in Denver, has made
more than the greatest sacrifice" to
his country. He has not only given
himself to his land, but has given his
wife and son also. Mr.. Mcleod left
with the rest of the Colorado troops
for the second officers reserve train
ing camp at Fort Sheridan. Mrs. Nc
Leod will leave for her old home in
Tennessee to join the Red Cross for
work in France. Their 15-year-old son,
Jerre. will enter the United States ma

PERMANENT WORLD TRANQUIL
LITY AIM OF AMERICA AND
ALLIES, SAYS WILSON.
FULL TEXT OF U. S, REPLY
WORD OF KAISER CANNOT BE
TAKEN AS GUARANTEE THAT
WAR WILL END.

To His Holiness, Benedictus XIV,
Pope:
In acknowledgment of the communi-
cation of your Holiness to the bellig-
erent peoples, dated August 1, 1917,
the President of the United States re-
quests me to transmit the following
reply:
Every heart that has not been blind
ed and hardened by this terrible war
must be touched by this moving ap-
peal of his Holiness, the Pope; must
feel the dignity and force of the hui
name and generous motives which
prompted it, and must fervently wish
that we might take the path of peace
he SO persuasively points out; but it
would be folly to take it If it does
not, in fact, lead to the goal he pro-
poses.
Our response must be based upon
the stern facts and upon nothing else.
1t is not mere cessation of arms he
desires; it is a stable and enduring
peace. This agony must not be gone
through with again, and it must be
matter of very sober judgment that
will insure us against it.
To Free Peoples From MiIitarism.
His Holiness in substance proposes
that we return to the status quo ante
bellum, and that then there be a gen
eral condonation, disarmament and a
concert of nations based upon an ac-
ceptance of the principle of arbitra-
ton; that by a similar concert free
dom of the seas be established and
that the territorial claims of France
and Italy, the perplexing problems of
the Balkan states and the restitution
of Poland be left to such cOnciliatory
adjustments as may be possible in the
new temper Of such peace, due re-
gard being paid to the aspirations OF
the peoples whose political fortunes
and affiliations will be involved.
1t is manifest that no part of this
program can be successfully carried
out unless the restitution of the status
quo ante bellum furnishes firm and
satisfactory basis for it. The object
of this war is to deliver the free peo-
pies of the world from the menace and
the actual power of vast military es-
tablishment controlled by an irrespon-
sible government which, having Sc
cretly planned to dominate the world,
proceeded to carry the plan out with
out regard either to the sacred obli-
cations of treaty or the long-estab-
lished practices and long-cherished
principles of international action and
honor; which chose it's own time for
the war; delivered it's blow fiercely
and suddenly; stopped at no barrier
either of law or of mercy; swept a
whole continent within the tide of
blood-not the blood of soldiers only
but the blood of innocent women and
children also and of the helpless poor;
and now stands baked, but not de-
feated, the enemy of four-fifths of the
world.
Would Need Hostile Combinations.
This power is not the German peo-
pie. 1t is no business of ours how
that great people came under it's con-
troll or submitted with temporary zest
to the domination of it's purpose; but
il is our business to see to it that the
history of the rest of the world is no
longer left to it's handling

Herein lies the fatal weak
