RUSSlA'S FUTURE
 IS BEING SHAPED
CONFERENCE IS OPENED AT MOSCOW BY PREMIER
 kERENSKY.

Moscow-The State Council which promises important results in the na- tionaI life of Russia which opened in the Grand Opera House with that sol emnity and old Russian pomp espe- cially characteristic of Moscow. The theater district was crowded with sightseers and interspersed among the members of the council were seen the characteristic Russian types, in- cluding Tartars in peaker caps white robed Mullahs from the Volga, Georg- ians robed in cloth of gold, .cassocks and dignitaries of the Greek orthodox church, who had arrived for the ecu menical church congress, which be- gins Tuesday.
 Despite the one-day strike pro claimed by the Bolsheviki in protest against the council as a counter-revo- lutionary expression, the city is quiet. A few incipient attempts by the Bol- sheviki street corner orators to or ganize demonstrations were suppress ed by the crowds.
 Precautions were taken against dis orders and the council threatens to show rigor in this respect unknown even in ante-revolutionary days. The building in which the council is meeting is surrounded by a close chain of soldiers, with officers every few yards. The soldiers are picked men from regiments of the Signal Corps or cadets training for officers. The chambers under the buildings are occupied by soldiers with fixed bayo- nets. Members and invited guests before being admitted have their tickets examined by nine different military posts.
 The proceedings began with a speech by Premier Kerensky, lasting an hour and a half, pronounced in a nervous and impressive voice, which aroused tremendous applause, mainly from that part of the theater occu- pied by the democratic organizations and members of he cabinet. but the Duma members and the Moscow in dustrial deputies also at times par ticipated. M Kerensky spoke reso- lutely. emphasizing the role he had played in recent events and his de- termination to guide events in the future.
 The premier was greeted with wild applause, when, early in his speech, speaking of the dangers from the ex- treme left, he declared: All at tempts with armed force against the peoples power will be crushed with blood and iron"

WILSON REJECTS
 PEACE PROPOSAL
REPLY TO PoPE's PEACE MESS AGE SAYS, GERMANY BALkED,
 BUT NOT DEFEATED."
SPOKESMAN FOR ENTENTE
United States Chosen To Answer Pope In Advance of All others-Nations of Entente Will Endorse
 Wilson's Views.

hington.-President Wilson has rejected the pope's peace proposals.
 In a note dispatched last night and made public here the president says that while every heart not blinded and hardened by the terrible war must be touched by the moving appeal of his holiness, it would be folly to take the path of peace he points out if it does not in fact lead to the goal he pro poses.
 To deal with such a power as the present rulers of Germany upon Pope Benedict's plan, says the pres ident, would involve a recuperation of the strength and renewal of the world domination of that power, now balkeds but not defeated, after sweep ing a continent with the blood of in nocent women and children and the helpless poor as well as of soldiers.
 Permanent peace must be based upon the faith of all the peoples and upon justice and fairness and the common rights of mankind, he adds, and we cannot take the word or the present rulers of Germany as a guar antee of anything that is to endure uncless explicitly supported by such conclusive evidence of the will and purpose of the German people them selves as the other peoples of the world would be justified in accept ing"
 There appears to be no doubt that the United States was selected to make answer before the world in ad- vance of all the others. Whether the entente nations will send extensive replies is not known here. It is re- garded as probable that they will in large measure adopt the presidents reasoning for their own and send notes of endorsement.

GERMANY CANNOT
 RECEIVE COTTON
PRESIDENT WILSON ISSUES OR. DER-SHIPMENTS BARRED
 FROM GERMANY.

ngton-President Wilson is- sued a proclamation which gives the government control over every possi- ble commodity exported from the United States.
 It is the most drastic step for econ omy control taken by any nation dur ing the war. The president, in statement accompanying the procla- nation, insists that he aims at con- trol and not at the actual stoppage of exports. But the manner in which the proclamation is divided makes it's purpose certain.
 ''The purpose and effect of this proclamation is not export prohibis tion, but merely export eontrol,s the president states. "It is not the inten- -tion to interfere unnecessarily with our foreign trade; but our own do- mestic needs must be adequately safe guarded and there is the added duty of meeting the necessities of all the nations at war with the imperial Ger man government. After these needs are met, it is our wish and intention to administer to the needs of the neu- tral nations as far as our resources permit
 Commodities Under Ban.
 His proclamation follows:
 "Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Will son, president of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim to all whom it may concern that the public safety requires that, except at such time or times under such regulations and orders and subject to such limi- tations and exemptions, as the presi- dent shall prescribe, until otherwise ordered by the president of Congress, the following articles; namely: All kinds of arms, guns, ammunition and explosives, machines for their manu- fracture or repair, component parts thereof, materials or ingredients used in their manufacture and all articles necessary or convenient for their use, all contrivances for, or means of transportation on land or in the water or air, machines used in their manu- faeture or repair, component parts thereof, materials or ingredients used in their manufacture and all instru- ments, articles and animals necessary or convenient for their use; all means of communication, tools, implements, instruments, equipment, maps, pic. lures, papers and other articles, ma chimes and documents necessary or convenient for carrying on hostile operations; coin, bullion, currency. evidences of debt and metal, mater ials, dyes, plates, machinery and other articles necessary or convenient for their manufacture, all kinds of fuel, food, foodstuffs, feed, forage and clothing, and all articles and mater ials used in their manufacture; all chemicals, drugs, dyestuffs and tan hing materials, cotton, wool, silk, flax, hemp, jute, sisal, and other fib- CTS and manufactures thereof; all earths, clay, glass, sand and their products; hides, skins and manufac- lures thereof; nonedible animals and vegetable products,

WILSON'S PROMPT
 RESPONSE PLEASES
ENTENTE NATIONS DID NOT TiciPATE SUCH PROMPT Acs
 TON BY PRESIDENT.
NATION APPROVES NOTE
Rejection of Pope's Peace prono..,. May Hasten Awakening of German People-To Wait Now For
 EuroPe's Views.

Washington.-Di Discussion of pres,. dent Wilson's rejection of the nono,s peace proposals in diplomatic eirclo. has revealed that even some of tb, entente governments were unprenor ed for the prompt fashion in which the president disposed of a matter of such tremendous importance.
 There had been no doubt as to +bo general nature of the reply, and tbe United States was generally looked upon as the nation to speak first. but some of the allied Foreign Offices ao. customed to long deliberated moveO in diplomacy regarded the exchanges that had been going on between them and their own capitals as barely com. pleted. They had expected furthe~ discussion of the time for dispatching replies.
 Wilson Has Good Reason.
 It was realized, however, that President Wilson must have had some good and sufficient reason for acting so quickly. Speculation ascribes the motive to a desire to impress fayora. bly, the Russian convention at Mos. COW while that body still is in plas. tic and receptive state. It was also suggested that the president might have wished to anticipate obstructive action by the pacifist elements in the United States.
 Await Europe's Views.
 No rejoinder from the Vatican ia expected here in the immediate fu ture. Comment from the press of Europe, including Germany and Aus tria, is awaited with interest. Bitter attacks upon the American note by the German press, and possibly con. demnatory speeches by German off eials, are expected when the presi- dents reply is allowed to leak through the censors to the German public. For the present no further attempts at peace negotiations on the old ba- sis involving continuance in power of the present autocratic German re. gime is anticipated.
