Amsterdam, Sept. 1.-THE reply of
the central powers to the peace note
of Pope Benedict, says Vienna dis
patch to the Tijd, begins by declaring
that they regard the papal proposals
as suitable basis for peace negotia-
tions.
Regarding the exchange of occu-
pied territories, arbitration, disarma-
ment and similar proposals, declara-
tions are made, the dispatch adds,
which testify to the idealism of the
central powers and their sincere de-
sire for peace which will insure hap
piness to all nations.
Conciliatory declarations are also
made respecting the settlement of tho
Balkan question, Poland and the res
toration of Belgium, but emphasis is
laid on the condition that the allied
powers must also give serious evil
dence of desire for peace by joint
and benevolent discussion of the ques-
tions which now separate the nations
The reply, it is said, will be published
as soon as the consent of the papal
nuncio at Vienna is obtained.

Petrograd, Sept. Ia (5:50 p. MI
The cabinet crisis continued all day.
The evening newspapers assert that
Premier Kerensky is in a very diff
cult position and that his resignation
is not excluded from the possibility.
The situation is complicated by the
attitude of the Petrograd council of
deputies in last nights meeting of
which the Bolshevikis for the first time
gained an overwhelming majority of
279 against $50 in favor of the ex-
treme radical position, which declares
that not only the social democrats
but all the representatives of proper
ty owning classes must be excluded
from power.
This program also demanded an
immediate declaration of democratic
republic. the abolition of private
property, working class control over
production, confiscation of war prof
its, the "merciless taxation" of capi-
tai, an immediate invitation to the
warning states to conclude peace, etc

London. Sept. Histories of some
recent successes of the British navy
against German submarines were
given to the public tonight in a series
of brief descriptions of eight encoun-
ters in which eight and possibly nine
U-boats were accounted for. These
eight sea battle pictures were selected
SO as to cover practically the whole
ground of anti-submarine activities.
In one case there was a battle he
tween an auxiliary cruiser and a sub
marine, in another engagement be-
tween a seaplane and a submarine,
then battle between two submarines
in which the British submarine cap
tain proved himself the better man,
and finally two tales of successes of
armed merchantmen against the
enemy.
U-b0at Destroyed.
FIRST From one of our auxiliary
naval forces a torpedo was seen ap-
preaching on the starboard beam. II
jumped out of the water when a hun
dred yards off and struck the engine
room near the waterline, making q
large rent and flooding several com
partments. A starboard lifeboat was
blown into the air, pieces landing on
the wireless aerial. Soon after a peri
scope was observed just before the
port beam. Fire was opened and the
first shot hit the base of the coming
tower and removed the two peri
scopes, Many other hits were obtain
ed and the submarine quickly assum-
ed list to port and several men came
out of the hatch.
Trcachery Punished.
"The U-boat wallowed along for a
space with the stern almost submerg-
ed and oil squirting from its side, and
the crew came on deck and waved
their hands. At this sign of surren-
der cease fire was ordered where
upon the enemy started to make off
