POPE'S PEACE PROPOSAL FLATLY
REJECTED BY PRESIDENT WILSON
World he Central Powers

Washington, Aug. 28.-President
Wilson has rejected the Pope's Peace
proposals.
In note dispatched last night and
made public here tonight, the Presi-
dent says that while every heart no
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 proposes.
TO deal with such a power as the
present rulers of Germany upon Pope
Benedict's plan, declares the Presi
dent, would involve a recuperation of
the strength and renewal of the world
domination policy of that power, now
baked, but not defeated after sweep
ing continent with the blood of in
nocent women and children, and the
helpless poor, as well as of soldiers.
permanent peace must be based up
on the faith of all of the peoples and
upon justice and fairness, and the
common rights Of mankind, he adds,
and I'VE cannot take the word of the
present rulers of Germany as a guar
antcc of anything that is to endure
unless 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 accepting"
The text Of the not follows:
"ro his Holiness
"Bcncdictus XIV Pope:
"In acknowledgment of the COM
munication of your Holiness to the
belligerent peoples, dated August /,
1917, the President of the United
States requests me to transmit the
following reply:
Presidents Reply.
every heart that has not been
blinded and hardened by this terrible
war must be touched by this moving
appeal of his Holiness, the Pope, must
feel the dignity and force of the
humane and generous motives, which
prompted it, and must fcrvently wish
that we might take the path Of peace
he so persuasively 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
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1917-08-29

upon the stern facts and upon moth
ing else. 1t is not mere cessation
of arms he desires; it is stable and
enduring peace. This agony must not
be gone through with again and it
must be matter of very sober judg-
ment what will insure us against it..
Pope's Proposals.
ellis Holiness in substance proposes
that we return to the status quo ante
bellum, and that. then there be a gen
eral conformation, disarmment and a
concert of nations based upon an ac-
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 perplexing problems of
the Balkan States, and the restitution
of Poland be left to such conciliatory
adjustments as may be possible of the
peoples whose political fortunes and
affiliations will be involved.
Objects of War.
at is manifest that no part of this
PAoo "hi Sai NC SuCCSSSi ully carried
out unless the restitution of the status
quo ante furnishes a firm and salts
factory basis for it. The object of
this war is to deliver the free peoples
of the world from the menace and the
actual power of vast military estab-
lishment controlled by an irresponsi-
Bile government which, having secret
ly planned to dominate the world, pro-
ceeded to carry the plan out without
regard either to the sacred obligations
of treaty or the long established prac-
tices and long cherished principles of
international action and honor; which
chose it's own time for the war; de-
livered its blow fiercely and suddenly;
stopped at no barrier either of law or
OF mercy; swept whole continent
within the tide of blood-not the blood
of soldiers only, but the blood of in
nocent women and children also, and
of the helpless poor; and now stands
baked but not defeated, the enemy of
FOUR fifths of the world. This power
is not the German people. 1t is the
ruthless master of the German people.
1T is no business of ours how that
great people came under it's control or
submitted with temporary zest to the
domination of it's purposes; but it is

and intrigueing govei nment, on the
one hand, and Of group of free
peoples on the other? This is a test
which goes to the root of the matter;
and it is the test which must be ap-
piled.
"fhe purposes of the United States
in this war are known to the whole
world-to every people to whom the
truth has been permitted to come.
They do not need to be stated again
We seek no material advantage of
any kind. We believe that the in
tolerable wrongs done in hits war by
the furious and brutal power of the
Imperial German Government ought
to be repaired, but not at the expense
Of the sovereignty of any people
rather vindication of the sovereign
ty Of both those that are weak and
Of those that are strong. Punitive
damages, the dismemberment of en-
pires, the establishment of selfish and
exclusive economic league we deem
meXpedient and i'm the end worse than
futile, no proper basis for Il peace
of any kind, least Of all for an en-
during peace. That must be based
upon justice and fairness and the
common rights of mankind
I'VE cannot take the word of the
present rulers Of Germany as a guar
antee of anything that it to endure,
unless 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 accepting.
Without such guarantees, treaties Of
settlement, agreements for dsarma-
ment, covenants to set up arbitration
in the place of force, territorial adj
JuStments, reconstruction of small ma
tions, if made with the German Gov
ernment, no man, no nation could
now depend on. We must await some
new evidence Of the purposes of the
great peoples Of the Central Powers.
God grant it may be gwen soon and
IN way to restore the confidence Of
all peoples everywhere in the faith of
nations and the possibility of a cove

An Atlantic Port, Aug. 27.-Capt
Cyrus w. Crooks, master of the Amer
lean bark Christiane, which was sunk
by German submarine August Z,
near the Azores, was entertained as a
guest on board the U-boat and over
a glass Of wine was told by the Ger

America nships. Capt. Crooks related
the incident on arrival here today on
board an Italian liner.
The American captain said ne was
bound home from London when his
ship was sunk. Not being armed he
surrendered to the U-boat
"Wc left the Christiane in two life
boats," said Capt. Crooks, "and | was
invited by the U-boat captain in ex-

men and come aboard. We were taken
into the officers cabin and after Civ

"He kept up an interesting CONVEX

British Make Good Gain.

With the British Army in france
and Belgium, Aug. 28.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press. 1.-The British attack late
yesterday southeast Of Langcmarch,
astridc the ST. Julien Pochelle road,
has developed into a success, notwith-
standing the almost impossible wealth
er conditions under which the troops
made the assault. A number of strong
German redoubts were occupied and
the line was pushed forward to a
considerable distance over a front of
some 1000 yards.
The offensive was launched at 2
o'clock in the afternoon amid heavy
rain, which added TO the already swol-
len Steenbekc and Hanncbeke rivers,
which had turned the surrounding
country into bogs. Into this marsh
land, studded with concrete machine
gun rcdoubts, the British plunged af-
ter the artillery had conducted heavy
bombardment and laid down barrage.
Particularly vicious fighting developed
near the Springfield and Vancouver
farms, two German strongholds north
east of st. Julien.
Notwithstanding heavy machine gun
fire, the British pushed forward here,
driving back the Wurttenburgers who
had been sent up from Roulers to hold
the German advanced posts.
Today the battle along the section
attacked yesterday had subsidized into
q state of calmncss.

have themselves suffered all things in

ANOTHER VICTORY
Attack Near Langemarch Develops
Into Success Despite the Ad-

ITALIANS CONTINUE DRIVE
Russian Troops Again Showing Signs
of Disaffection in Bukowina
and Bessarabia.

The fighting fronts, except in the
Austrian-Italian theater and in East
ern Bukowina and Southern Molda-
via, show remarkable abatement in
the violence of the fighting that has
been going on for several weeks.
Along the front in Flanders and
Northern France held by the British
bad weather again has set in and
aside from reciprocal bombardments,
which at some points have reached the
stage of drum fire and minor infantry
operations on the part of the British,
little is being done by either of the
belligerents.
In the Verdun sector the Germans
have ceased entirely their counter at
tacks against the newly won French
positions, evidently having found that
the task of trying to rehabilitate
themselves was useless. The infantry
of both sides have remained in their
trenches and only on the western
bank of the Meuse has there been
even artillery activity.
On the Bainsizza plateau, the Ital-
ians and Austrians are still engaged
in furious battle with the Italians the
aggressors. New positions have been
won by Gen. Cadorna's forces and
heavy Austrian attacks to retrieve
lost ground have been successfully
repulsed. Silence still is maintained
by the Rome war office concerning the
operations on the Carso plateau. An
Austrian official communication dated
Sunday, the first received from Vienna
for several days, was the capture by
the Italians of Monte Santo.
Russians Giving Way.
On the frontier Of Bessarabia, in
Eastern Bukowina, the Russian troops
are again showing signs of disaffec-
tion, having near Boyany deliberately
quit their trenches and retrcated east,
the Austro- Germans taking the
trenches they quit. Near Novoselca,
also on the Bessarabian frontier, the
Teuton allies have begun an offensive
against the Russians and have cap
tured several positions.
In Northern Russia no fighting of
Importance is taking place, evidently
indicating that the German offensive
west of Riga was not the forerunner
of strong attempt to capture the
Russian seaport and naval base on
the Baltic.

ENLISTED MEN MAY
BEcoNEIoFF|cERS
Will BE Given Every Opportunity to
Fit Themselves for
Commissions.
OFFICERS SCHOOLS NEXT
No More Candidates for Commissions
From Civil Life After
Present Camps.

Washington, Aug. 28.-Enlisted
men of the national army, National
Guard and regular army will be given
every opportunity to fit themselves
for commissions, it was learned today.
This is in line with tn efxed policy
of the government to take no more
officers or officer candidates from civil
life after the second series of officers
training camps, now in progress, has
been completed. Thereafter all ad-
ditional officers needed will be found
in the ranks of the various branches
of the war army.
TO carry out this plan it has vir-
tually been decided to establish an
officers school at each of the division
al training camps. Men from the
ranks who show special qualifications
will be sent to these schools. With
stats of French and British officers
of experience on the firing lines on
duty at each camp as advisers an
unusual opportunity for lecture
courses will be presented.
Third Series of Camps.
The divisional officers camps viii
make the third series Of such camps
arranged by the War Department to
provide men to command the enor-
nous forces being raised for the war
Line commissions will be granted TO
men from civil life after they are
started, except that a few M.en who
were denied admission to the other
camps through loss of their order
in the mail or some other mischancc
may be given an opportunity in the
third series.
Will Pass Out of Existence.
Secretary Baker pointed out today
in reply to question as to whether
the revised divisional army argoniZa-
tion adopted for the war would be
continued after the restoration of
peace, that with the exception of the
officers of the regular and a few men
of the old regular enlisted forces
whose cnlistments may not have en-
pred at that time, the entire war
army will pass out of existence.
The question Of establishing a con-
tnuing military policy of universal
service has been debated to some cx-
tent. The impression prevails among
many members Of Congress, however,
that it would be unwise to take no
this question now. If the war is long
it may become necessary to provide
for the registration of new classes
which reach the military age of the
selective service bin each year.
