i Copenhagen, Aug. 22.-After
Chancellor Michaelis fnformeu
the main committee OF the reisch-
lstag Tuesday that Germany would
not reply to the Papal peace note
until she had consulted her allies,
Socialist speakers who followed
him said. they welcomed the
Pope's action as they would well
come any steps capable of bring
ing peace and all the more be-
cause it was expected to bring re-
suits.
The Liberals declared them
selves in agreement with the
chancellor's sympathetic inter-
probation of the Pope's action.
The Centrists Associated them
selves with the chancellor's re-
marks and said the Pope's pro-
posal marked extraordinary val
liable progress towards peacc
which was SO ardently desired by
all nations. They hoped the act
OF His Holiness would meet with
full success.
The national liberal speakers
said they were unable as vet to
examine closely the contents or
the Papal note but endorsed the
chancellOr's statements. The
conservatives also associated
themselves with DR.. Michaelis'
remarks, but reserved their atti-
tude with regard to the details.

to the administration that the Can
adian government has fixed a price sof
.$2.40 per bushel ct Fort William and
that the price at that point in Canada
was ordinarily substantially the same
as the Duluth price. Mr.. Steenerson
contended that the price fixed by this
government should correspond with
the Canadian price on these lake
points at which originate the grain
shipped to the east and foreign ports
and that any discrepancy in these
prices would create Ill will and dis-
satisfaction In the northwest, that 1t
would indicate an arbitrary and un-
just interference with the economic
law Of supply and demand against our
own people while the Canadians who
Il are at least equally interested in the
war, would be favored.
