for defensive purposes or to carry out the mandates of the world court.
 It is inconceivable, the pope holds, that any permanent peace can be main tained unless the various peoples are willing to gather in an amlty founded upon a recognition of national rights
 Any attempt to prevent free economic action between the belligerents, the pope points out, would be disastrous; therefore he says there must be free dom of the seas in all that the term extensive has been the injury to all applies The pontiff declares that so the belligerents that there can be no thought now of either indemnity or re- paration.
 In a spirit of concilation and jus tice, he says, all the belligerents must submit to accept the losses they have sustained except in the matter Of ter ritory and besides these question of indemnities and reparation the pope declares there must be no continuation of the war by an economic struggle for thereafter, which would be purely evil
 This refers to the so-called Paris economic conference which was fol- lowed by one in Vienna where the ef- fort was made to bind the belligerents on either side after the war to have practically no commercial relations with their late enemies.
 On the important question of the disposition of occupied territory and the territorial ambitions of the bel ligerents the pope, by way of preface, admits that special cases might justify special consideration and still be ad- justed in conformity with the principles Of equity and justice. But as a general proposition he feels that a proper basis for discussion would be the restoration at once of all territory now in enemy occupation. That would involve liber- ation of Belgium leaving not a trace of German control political or military
 The same principle of unencumberec freedom in it's full sense, he says should prevail in regard to every power and nation. Not only must the French ter ritory now occupied by Germany be restored to France, he says, but on
 the other hand all Germany colonies
 which have been occupied by England, Portugal, Belgium and Japan should be returned to Germany
 The more difficult question of Italia .lrredenta the pope thinks, should be Isexamned in a spirit of conciliation and
 fairness and that special considera- 1 tlon in the settlement should be given to national aspirations
 Likewise does the pope hold that the
 complex questions involving readjust-
 ment of the Balkan states should be considered in the same spirit of equity and Justice. He has especially in mind
 Armenia, the Balkans and Poland and
 the intimation conveyed is that these 1 questions can safely be dealt with by direct diplomatic exchanges between

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14-Nomina- tions of nearly 200 general officers in the national army, including officers of the regular army and the nationa guard, were sent to the senate today by President Wilson
 From the 37 new major generals to be created for the duration of the war, and from the existing major generals of the regular army, will come the army corps and division commanders of all the forces now being raised, regulars, national guard or national army. Simi- larly the brigade commanders will be selected from the list of more than 100 new brigadiers.
 Co-incident with this announcement of high command, came the statement from the war department that a con- posite national guard division com posed of troops from 26 states and the District of Columbia, was in process of organization under command of Briga- dier General Mann, now chief of the militia bureau of the department, but who heads the list of national army

Takeshita, the ranking army and navy representative on the mission. The state department was headed by Breckenridge Long, third assistant secretary
 Late in the afternoon General Su- gano was given his first glimpse of American troops in force. Some six thousand soldiers and sailors, includ- ing infantry, cavalry, artillery and provisional troops marched past as he stood beside Major General Hunter Liggett, commanding the western de- partment of the army. At the end of the review General Sugano said: These are splendid troops. It has been pleasure to see them"
 An excursion into the surrounding country and a visit to a large encamp ment of troops are the commissions program for tomorrow.
 Guests at the banquet rendered the imperial Japanese mission here tonight were electrified when the mayor of the city, in his address, declared: We remember Kuroki and Nogi at Port Arthur. We rejoice to know that the successors of these men now come to fight shoulder to shoulder with our boys in khaki"
 The mayor, who wore the Order of the Rising Sun, conferred upon him on a previous occasion, added the fol- lowing:
 Since 1854, with the establishment of international relations, there has been nothing but good will and amity between our people. We appreciate that in the present war the sea lanes have been kept open by your navy and now we are glad to see the old Stars and Stripes and the flag of the Rising Sun flying side by side, and the Japanese and Americans side by side in the struggle for a sure and lasting peace"
 There was a tremendous outburst of cheering when, at the conclusion Of Viscount Ishii's speech, Chairman Me- Nab said.

major generals.
 These will be the first national guard troops to be sent to Trance.
 The list of general officers shows that the seniority rule has been fol- lowed closely except where men in line for promotion were found wanting by the board of officers which made the recommendations to the president.
 The list of major generals takes in virtually all of the army brigadiers and includes the only two national guard officers of that rank, Generals O'Ryan of New York and Clements of Pennsyl- vania.
 The list of brigadiers is made up from the existing list of brigadiers of the national guard, with score or more colonels of that service who are ad- vanced in rank, and of regular army colonels from each of the service. To fill out the list of coast artillery ap- pointments, two lieutenant colonels were advanced to brigadier rank.
 All of the commissions are for the duration of the war only and are in the national army
