trouble started when a group of intox-

followed three OF the marines were

Police dispelled the first mob OF ma

street was lined with patrolmen, they
started down Third street in a ragged
skirmish line, numbering perhaps sixty
men. Firing revolvers and yelling,
they ran down the dark street. break

one of the trains in the collision
left the terminal here at 5:55 o'clock
with every seat occupied ana a large
number standing. 1t consisted of two

On reaching the Patapsco Flats,
the fog became dense and the motor

NO new PLEA
FROM VATICAN
Bonanza Denies Report that
He Is in Possession of
Peace Terms.

Mgr. John Banzano, papal del
egate to the Catholic people OF the
United States, yesterday authorized
the International News to make an
unqualified denial OF statements
that he had received a communica-
tion from the Pope or any communi-
cation embodying the alleged peace
terms OF the central powers.
This authoritative denial was is
sued to set at rest a perfect sea
of rumors which have swept through
Washington during the last TWEEN
ty-four hours. Originating in cer-
tain diplomatic circles never friendly
to the Vatican. IL was asserted that
the Legate here had been entrusted
with the task OF rendering to Presi-
dent Wilson. the peace terms of the
central powers which the Vatican
hoped he would meet.
No such message has come from
Rome or elsewhere, it was stated
at the Papal Legation. Further, 1t
was intimated that no such message
would come.
1t was reported that Cardinal
Gibbons had been again made the
Intermediary between the Pope and
the President, as he acted in this
capacity before. This rumor could
not be confirmed in high church
circles, and the State Department
and the White House insist that
there has been no change in the
peace situation since the President
sent his note.
Present Peace situation.
As the situation still stands a high
official outlined It yesterday.
The war aims OF the United States
are well known. The terms on which
the United States will make peace have
been clearly stated.
There is no immediate prospect OF
these terms being accepted and the
United States Is pressing with the ut
most viSor her preparations for war.
The President, it was learned yes
terdly, was no more surprised by the
first hostile reception of his note in
Germany than he was over the re-
ported dissa tisfactIon with II at the
Vatican. He will be no more moved by
il.
The Presidents letter to Samuel
Gompers, made public last night de-
scribing the United States as practice
ing democracy as well as preaching
1t, is regarded as almost as much for
German consumption as for the ears
OF the Minneapolis conference. Tine
President is still assured that his
note will fall on fertile ground in Ger
many.
1t was explained by an official at
the State Department yesterday that
the press comment on the note as
sent out from Germany is subject to
double censorship at the hands OF
the very autocratic powers at which
the note Is aimed.

The fundamental law Of GOD sor

apphcadon Of this law. The nrst
is the recognition of the common
riehts OF each by the rest and refrss--

Ihis involves. first. that each man or
nation must recognize that other
men and nations have som. rixhts
which they are bound to respeot- or
forefeit all claims 10 have their own
existence tolerated.
The second STAGE u the application
Of the law Of love 70 men and ps-
tons
Germany has broken every one OF
the rules which follow from the Law
OF love. Germany has denied that
any other nation has any rights which
II Is bound TO respect. II has repeat
edly and badly lied TO its own ciu-
zens and the rest Of the world. a
has reppdiated its most solemn agree
ments ana promises and in the very
pulpits where the name Of Christ 10
supposed 10 be the most sacred name
II has preached about The German
God" and the duty Of the German
people 70 conquer the rest Of the
world. while in It's schools it has
taught It's hymn OF hate and ridiculed
the idea that II has any duty ss a
nation 10 love other nations.
