PRESIDENT SOON
To MAKE REPLY
To PEACE NOTE
Terms Suggested by Pope
Benedict Not Likely to Be
Accepted, but There Will Be
No Flat Rejection,


Washington, Aug 27,-Signs were
in evidence today of the dispatch of
President Wilson's reply to the peace
proposals of Pope Benedict at an ear
y date. Officials freely conceded the
probability of the early completion of
the communication indicating that
the president and Secretary Lansing
have at at last agreed upon the basic
features of the reply. 1t is understood
that rough drafts of some of the i'm
portant points already have been pre-
pared.
So far no authorized statement has
been Forthcoming as to the nature of
the reply officials even deprecate
speculation concerning it and there
has been formal denial of published
report that Secretary Lansing had in
formed some of the entente diplomats
that Pope Benedict's proposals would
be rejected. No official opinion exists
that the proposals will be accepted,
but in diplomatic practice there is u
wide field for discussion between the
two extremes of rejection and accept
ance.
Much of the uncertainty here sur
rounding the preparation of the
American reply has arisen from the
fact that the major part OF the nego-
tiation upon this subject has been con-
Quoted in foreign capitals through
resident American ambassadors be-
cause until he had developed the views
| of the ententen chancellories, Presi-
dent Wilson was maintaining an open
mind on the subject.

HOUSTON COUNCIL
To PROBE INTO
NEGRO OUTBREAK
Will Undertake to Learn if
Police Officers Were Un-.
duly Harsh; Also Wants to
Quiz Captain Snow,


Houston, Tex, Aug. s7.-The city
council adopted a resolution today
providing for an investigation of the
disturbance last Thursday when sew
enteen persons were killed as re-.
suit of indiscriminate shooting by 100
negroes of the Twenty-fourth infan-
try. A board Of inquiry was appoint.
ed by Acting Mayor D. M. Moody and
the investigation is expected to get un-
der way tomorrow.
A telegram has been addressed to
Washington, asking that Maj. X. S
Snow, who commanded the negroes
be kept here long enough that he
might appear before the board of in
quiry.
Major Snow will be asked about a
statement he made while the shoot
ing was going on in the negro camp,
that he did not have a gun although
there had been evidence much ear
lier that trouble was impending. He
will be closely interrogated regard
ing the steps he took to prevent trou-
BILE.
The resolution providing for the in
vestigation, says charges that Houston
police had improperly dealt with the
negro soldiers, thatsnegro citizens had
assisted the soldiers in their rioting
and that intoxicating liquors were
carried into the negro camp, will be
completely gone into.

public, but believed it its duty to give

M. Venizelos said he had often told
the former king, Constantine, that the
nations of the world were gradually
approaching the idea of abolishng
the institution of kingship and it de-
pended upon the existing kings them
selves to hasten or postpone this in
evitable consummation. Unfortunate,

as to deal a mortal blow to the idea
of a monarchy, and many Greeks who

they considered it still premature.

Amarillo, Tex, Aug. 27.--Crop con-
ditions have improved wonderfully
A tour over the Santa Fe lines In
northwest Texas and New Mexico the
last few days shows a remarkable
change since the last of June. Tht
bean crop in New Mexico promises
a heavy yield and the acreage is un-
usually large. AT several points the
crop is so extensively planted that
elevators are being built to handle 1T,
The feed crops promise well, es-
pecially on the plains in eastern New
Mexico and northwest Texas In
places milo is heading and short sea-
son kaffir is ready to head. Indian
corn is already making in many To-
calities.
Plenty of Grass.
Winter wheat will be grown gen.
orally over New Mexico and the acre
age in Texas and on the plains of New
Mexico will be much greater than
ever before. The county agents are
taking keen interest in wheat grow
ing and are urging the farmers to
prepare the land well and use only
pure seed In many places tractors
are being bought for use in preparing
land for wheat.
The livestock growers are hopeful
of plenty of grass for winter pasture.
During the early summer the stock
men were compelled to feed to escape
serious loss. At the present time the
whole country is covered with mat
Of green grass.
The feeders of cattle and lambs for
market are taking heart and are now
figuring on filling their feed lots to
find the best market for the forage
that is now coming on.
