representing the Catholic churches
OF America. that a recommendation
soon would be sent to Congress to
provide for an appropriation cover
ing the salary OF a chaplain to every
100 soldiers.
The law now assigns one chaplain
to every regiment, but the reorgani-
Zation of the army under the French
system has more than doubled the
size OF the regiments, and the chap
lain committees are seeking to get
authorization for one priest or preach
er to every 100 men. The point Is
made that one minister will be IN
able to look after the spiritual needs
OF a regiment at Its increased size.
New legislation will be necessary to
change the law affecting the appoint
ment OF army chaplains, and the rep
resentatives OF the Protestant and
Catholic churches have asked the ar
Department to recommend to Con-
gress the passage OF a bill making
200 men the quota that each chap
lain Is to be assigned to.

Pope's Proposals, Written
In DUN Handwriting,
Are Being Translated

ROME, Aug. 1.-The peace proposals
of Pope Benedict were written in his
own handwriting. The Pope consulted
Cardinal Gasparri, Papal Secretary of
State. Archbishop Ceretti. Assistant
Papal Secretary of State, and Monsig-
nor Tedeschini, Papal Under Secretary
of State, in formulating the document.
Archbishop Ceretti. who arrived recent
" from America, where he stopped on
his journey from Australia, is now
supervising translation of the communl-
cation into English.
The "Giornae DItalia' says the
Papal appeal is the most impressive and
the most concrete ever addressed to the
belligerents. giving them the general
lines on which peace negotiations may
be initiated 1t adds:
"The explicit terms in which the
note is worded lead to the supposition
that the intentions of the two belliger-
ent groups are not in absolute con-
f1ict with the ideas and hopes OF the
Pope"
The "Trbuna" expresses the opinion
that the peace proposals were made on
independent initiative and that the
Entente Powers will not fee IN any
way constrained to accept them, al
though they will receive them with the
Difference due the sender.
The Pope's peace proposals were sent
by couriers 10 the European govern
ments. Arrangements were made 70

Washington and Toxic.

ing TO suppress them by force. It was
pointed out in diplomatic quarters
here, for instance, that the speech Of
Albert Thomas in the French Chamber
of Deputies last Sunday showed that
he was in line with the French Social :
istic programme as declared last week
in Paris. This was by no means
antagonistic 20 the governmental poll
cies SO far as the objects or prosecu-
ton OF the war was concerned, but did
seek to secure a disclosure Of the ends
in view, with the hope of capturing the
Stockholm conference for the cause OF
democracy.
Again to-day the fact appeared that,
without exception. every representative
of the Allied powers is bitterly op-
posed to that phase Of the Pope's pro-
posals which would leave TO the fate
of a round-table conference the dispo-
sition of such questions as Alsace-Lor-
raine, Poland and Italia Irredentia, and
it was recalled that precisely that bait
was held out by Chancellor Bethmann-
Hollweg more than year ago, when
he realized that the German wave of
invasion had reached its height and
that the tide might be expected to
flow backward

Russia Will Let
Socialists Attend
Stockholm Farley

PETROGRAD, Aug. 15.-The Russian
government does not desire TO place
any obstacles against Socialist particl-
patton in the Stockholm conference, &C
cording to a statement issued to-day
from an authoritative source in regard
to the reports in foreign newspapers
concerning the governments attitude
toward the conference. The statement,
which is issued through the seml-ofn-
cial news agency, says:
"The government considers that the
solution of questions affecting war and
peace sppertains exclusively to it. in
unison with the allied countries. The
Stockholm conference, as pointed out
hitherto. is one OF particular political
parties. and as such cannot lay claim
TO formulating decisions which bind
the government in any way.
"The government always has been
far from refusing passports TO Social
lists, believing that questions concern
ing war and peace may be submitted
for decision 10 the Socialist lnterna-
tionale The Prime Minister and For.
eign Minister have informed the allied
governments that the provisional gov
eminent does not consider it desirable
to place any obstacles against the par
ticipation Of Socialists in the confer
ence."
The statement concludes by saying
that the government does not deny
the political hearing of the conference,
but holds that decisions formed az il
must not be of character belonging

Thomas Explains Stand
OF French Socialists

PARIS, Aug. 15.-Reasons why the
French Socialists believe it advisable
to attend the Stockholm conference are
given in a speech of Albert Thomas,
Socialist member of the French War
Council. to his constituents on Sunday.
the full text Of which has just been
published. 1t had been awaited with
extreme interest owing to N. Thomas's
position as Socialist leader and min
lister in connection with the vote in the
Chamber of Deputies August ?, when
the Socialists either voted against the
government or abstained from voting.
Turning to the Stockholm question,
NJ. Thomas admitted the difficulty,
while French and German soldiers are
killing each other at the front, for
French Socialists to meet the German
Socialists and discuss in safety condi-
tons OF peace. He swelt at length on
the widespread sentiment he found
during his visit to Russia against i'm

Russia Unfauorable
To Vaticon's Proposal

WASHINGTON. Aug. 15.-Even Rus
sian opinion, it was learned to-day, does
not take sympathetically to the Nati-
cans proposal. "The Allies" 1t was
declared in an authoritative Russian
quarter, cannot accept peace on the
basis proposed by the Pope. A peace
on the basis of the status quo would
not be satisfactory to Russia. y
Asked if Russia in declaring for
peace without anneXations and without
indemnities, meant an unchanged map,
this Russian authority declared it did
not. He said Poland must be free, re-
ceiving not only the ancient Polish ter
ritory held by Russia, but also the
Polish territory held by Germany and
by Austria. Both Russia and the Al
lies, he stated, would insist upon this
at the peace conference.
Il was intimated that Russia regards
Frances aspirations TO recover Alsace-
Lorraine not as lust for conquest, but
as q legitimate desire TO recover ter
ritorv which historically belongs to
her and which was taken from her by
force.
Russia also is pleased with the dec
laration of war upon Germany and
Austria-H Hungary by China. Under the
old Chinese regime. il was said, Russia
distrusted China. but under a demo-
cratic form of government Russia vel
comes China into the war as an ally
and has entire faith in China's inten
tions. The aims Of China and Russia
in the Far East were declared to be
identical

Stockholm Socialists
Still Hope Henderson
Will Attend Conference

LONDON, Aug. ia dispatch from
Stockholm to "The Daily News" says
that Hjalmar Branting, Socialist lead
err. earnestly hopes that Arthur Hen
derson. secretary of the Labor party
who resigned on Saturday as member
Of the British War Cabinet, will, after
all. attend the Stockholm conference
on the understanding that nothing he
does there will bind the British gov
eminent. Mr.. Branting says the pres
ent feeling in Stockholm is that the
conference has lost much Of it's prop.
aganda value through not being held
on the date originally intended.
He adds that the main reason for
this. perhaps, is to be found in Ger

the capitalists confer in Switzerland
then the working people have right
20 consider terms.
Two Important Concessions
The government has made two fur
Their concessions to labor; hrst, the
withdrawal Of its dlution scheme, and,
second, an increase in the barrellage
OF beer. The first question is OF great
magnitude and represents broad
modification Of the governments posi-.
ton. A few months back labor would
have considered these concessions
great victories; now it takes them as
a matter of course. II must be under
stood that the power OF the labor
leaders is almost final az TINS stage
Of the war.
Lloyd George saw the King to-day,
and later spoke at luncheon where
he said that there was nothing IN the
programme of labor which could be
obtainable If the Allies were beaten.
Labor and democracy could only win
if the Allies won the war. IL is con-
sidered possible that Lloyd George
will call a general election. Many now
believe that he would fail TO carry the
country with him, though that is not
the majority view. However, If he
should be successful the difficulties
would not be surmounted. for no gov
eminent could stand with labor in OPP
position.

able for the French to go to Stockholm

but the declaration of the German ma
jority Socialists that Alsace-Lorraine
must remain German made their pres
ence at Stockholm impossible.
Some of the Socialists think" con-
tinued NJ. Thomas, "that by going TO
Stockholm we could hasten the hour OF
peace and could, after settling the
question of responsibility fol-. the war

in the uncertainty Of military solu-
ton would bring to the people some
sort of hating peace. When such for,
