Rome, Aug. 29.-The Italians kept
up their valiant drive, winning new
positions on the Bainsizza plateau. AS
the advance continued alarm spread
in the city of Triest and that town
vas evacuated by the civilians.
Along the front in Flanders and
northern France hard rains have set
in. causing an abatement in the fight
ing. The Germans have ceased their
counter attacks in the Verdun sector,
evidently finding their task useless.
The cessation of activity in the
French ranks around Verdun leads to
the belief that the Petain forces are
gathering for another big drive in that
section. Reinforcements have been
added to the victorious lines.
On the frontier of Bessarabia, in
Bukowina, the Russians are again

contemplate trying to capture the
great Baltic seaport.

WILSON REPLIES TO BENEDICT.
Pope's Peace Proposal Rejected by
United States.

Washington. - President Wilson's
rejection of the pope's peace propos-
ais is regarded here as the high wa
ter mark of the war. Furthermore, it
is indicative of the virtual selection
of the President by the allies as their
spokesman before the world. The
note ONE as a climax to the remark
able series of state documents in
which President Wilson has argued
the cause of world democracy against
autocracy in the high court of public
opinion and accepted more and more
by the people of all the allied coun-
tries as expressing their ideals. There
appears to be no doubt that the
United States was selected to make
answer before the world in advance
OF all the others. Whether the en-
tente nations will send extensive re-
plies is not known here. 1t is regard
ed as probable that they will in large
measure adopt the Presidents reason
ing for their own and send notes of
Endorsement.
The general tenor of the Presidents
reply has been anticipated every
where, but there was no inkling OF
the forceful terms he would employ
to say that the world can have no
faith in the autocratic government of
Germany.

SCALE Of COAL PRICES
GOVERNMENT CONTROL CUTS
JOBBERS' PROFITS.
Fifteen Cents on Bituminous and
Thirty Cents on Anthracite Set
by President.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington. - Government control
of the coal industry was made almost
complete when President Wilson, with
DR.. H. A. Garfield, president of Will
Jams college. named fuel administra-
tor, fixed anthracite prices for produc-
ers and jobbers and set a limit on
profits to be made by bituminous
wholesalers.
The next and final step will be to
make regulations for coal distribution
and to fix anthracite and bituminous
retail prices. This will be done when
a distribution program is perfected
and when the Federal Trade Commits
sion has completed a plan under which
retail profits may be fixed.
The anthracite prices fixed effective
Sept. / are virtually the same as those
now charged at the mines under a vol
untary arrangement made by produc-
ers with the Trade Commission. The
prices that may be charged by job
ers, however, will reduce present costs
sharply. Bituminous jobbers' profits,
too, will be cut by the new price scale
set for wholesale transactions.
The anthracite scale for railroad
owned mines, which include practical
ly all the big producers, follows:
White ash, broken. $4.55; egg, $4.45;
stove, $40; chestnut, $3.50; pea, 81.
Red ash, broken, S4.75; egg, $4.66;
stove, $3.50; chestnut, $3.50; pea, $40.
Lykens Valley, broken, IS; egg, $3.50;
stove, $3.50; chestnut, $3.50; pea,
$4.35.
Other producers may charge an ad'
vance of rs cents a ton of 2,240 pounds
over the prices set for the railroad.
owned mines. Those who incur the
expense of r%escreening it at Atlantic
or lake ports may add an additional 5
cents a ton. Anthracite jobbers de-
livering coal at Buffalo and points
east of that city will be allowed a
maximum profit of 20 cents a ton Of
2,24O pounds, and those delivering 1t
west of Buffalo may charge an excess
of 80 cents. The combined gross prof
it's of any number of jobbers handling
a shipment must not exceed the limit
of profits set for a single jobber, ex-
cept that a screening charge Of S cents
may be made on water shipments at
Atlantic or lake ports.
Bituminuous profits for jobbers are
fixed at Is cents a ton Of 1000 pounds,
and the same restrictions that govern
dealings by a number Of anthracite
jobbers apply to bituminous transac-
tons. The Presidents order forbids
railroad owned mines from selling to
other mines and prohibits dealers
from selling coal produced by rail-
road-owned mines on a basis of prices
fixed for other mines.

How Letters for the Boys in the Ma
tionaI Army Camps Should
BE Addressed.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Before long
several thousand young men will be
in the various cantonment camps of
the national army, and their relatives
and other friends will wish to write
to them. In order to expedite the de-
livery of their mail and give the boys

flee officials instruct their correspon-
dents, if they know in advance the
company and regiment to which the
soldier is assigned, to address mail ac-
cording to this sample:
PRIVATE JOHN JONES,
A Company, First Infantry,
Camp Dodge, Iowa.
If the company and regiment are
not known. the mail should be ad-

mail for each man will be distributed
direct to his company and regiment.
Until then it will be delivered through
his state section.

FULL TEXT OF US, REPLY
WORD OF KAISER CANNOT BE
TAKEN AS GUARANTEE THAT
WAR WILL END.

Western Newspaper Union News Service,
To His Holiness, Bcnedictus XIV.
Pope:
In acknowledgment of the communi,
cation of our Holiness to the bellig'
erent peoples, dated August /, 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 persuasiyely 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 a 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 ii
matter of very sober judgment that
will insure us against 1t.
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 conformation, disarmament and a
Tnpo4rt nf natipnc haGnl unop an ar
%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 p%erplexing 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 a 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 a firm and
satisfactory basis for it. The object
of this wal is to deliver the free PEG
pies of the world from the menace and
the actual power of a vast military es-
t%ahlishment 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 obi
cations of treaty or the long-eStab-
lished practices and long-cherished
principles of international action II
honor: which chose its own time for
the war; delivered its blow fercely
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 INT
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 its con-
troll or submitted with temporary zest
to the domination of it's purpose; but
/, is our business to see to it that the
history of the rest of the world is no
longer left to its handling.
