Desire That the Appeal May
Meet With Success.

Amsterdam. Sept 24.-The German
government in its reply to the peace
note Of Pope Benedict, copy of which
has been received here. "cherishes a
lively desire" that the appeal may meet
with success.
Emperor William. the German note
says, has been following the efforts of
the pope toward peace for consider
able time, with high respect.
Peace would come from the recent
proposals of Pope Benedict XIV if the
belligerent nations would enter into ne
gotiatons in the sense of the pontiff's
suggestions, Emperor Charles of Aus
tria-Hungary states in his reply to the
Vatican note.
The emperor sees in the pope's peace
plan suitable basis for starting pour
parlers toward a just and lasting
peace, and expresses the hope that the
nations opposing his own may be ami
mated by the same idea.
The Austrian emperor admits that
the future arrangement of the world
must be based on the elimination Of
armed force and on the rule of inter
national justice and legality.
Austria is prepared, the reply states,
to enter into negotiations for the sub
mission of international disputes to
compulsory arbitration.

MENAG AGERIE is FEATURE

Circus Performance Composed Of Over

circus Performance Composed Of Over
400 Artists.
One of the things in which the Ha-
genbeck- Wallace circus has always ex
celled Is i'm its menagerie. Hagenbeck
was the first person who ever succeed
ed in subduing wild animals for a pub
lie performance. He startled the capi
tails of Europe half a century ago with
his intelligent. yet man-eating beasts
At each worlds fair that has been held
in the United States in the past forty
year the Hagenbeck wild animals have
always furnished the stellar attraction
So much interest was aroused at the
st. Louis worlds fair in 1904 that the
Hagenbeck shows were combined with
the great Wallace circus At first the
idea looked impossible, because Of their
size. Each show had already reached
a state that it required the efforts of
only the most skilled circus officials
to handle. The greatest problem was
the one involved in the transportation.
A train one mile in length was built
and divided into three sections. In this
way the obstacle Of moving the great
institution from city TO city was solved.
Yet, each year since the consolida-
tion of the shows the Hagenbeck-W Wal.
lace circus has grown. The Hagen.
beck farm. in French Lick Springs,
Indiana, is the worlds biggest animal
headquarters AS fast as rare and cost.
ly specimens are captured by the Ha-
genbeck hunters, scattered throughout
the world, they are sent to the Hagen
beck-Wallace circus.
But the Hagenbeck animals form only
one department Of the combined shows.
The Great Wallace circus still excels
as the Highest class circus in the
world The performance is given in
three rings and two elevated stages
More than 400 noted artists that repre-
sent almost every country on the globe
will be seen with the Hagenbeck-W Wal
lace circus in Ardmore Tuesday, Sep
tember II.

Of the riots at Houston incidental to
the encampment Of negro troops in
that city yesterday took up a large part
Of the session in the senate
Shortly after the senate had con
vened Mr.. Hudspeth offered a resolu-
tion asking the representatives from
Texas in the national house of repre-
sentatives and the Texas senators in
the United States senate to confer with
Secretary Of War Baker and President
Wilson looking TO the removal from
Texas Of all negro troops.
Mr.. Hudspeth's resolution set forth
that "the presence Of negro troops at
Houston and other cities in Texas has
become a serious menace to the peace
Of the communities"
Mr.. Hudspeth said there had been
trouble wherever the ucgro soldiers
have been stationed. He said the reso-
luton did not necessarily arise from the
riots at Houston, but that in his own
district at Del Rio there had been
rioting because the white moving pic
ture show proprietors had refused to
permit the negroes in the theaters and
that they were not permitted in restau
