Pontiff Expected No
Early Peace When He
Spoke, Says Legete

KANSAS CITY, Aug. 23.-Pope
Benedict did not expect early peace
to result from his proposal to the
belligerent nations that hostilities be
ended, according to a statement by
Monsignor Giovanni Bonzano, apostolic
delegate to the United States, who is
here today to attend the convention
of the American federation of Catholic
societies which begins next Sunday.
II can say authoritatively that the
Holy Father believed there was no
prospect OF the warning nations ar
ranging terms soon,' said Bonzano,
"but he believed that he could i'm
partially offer a proposal that might
bring the leaders of the warning ma
tions to a normal sense of thought
and to try to arrange terms"

East, Says Phelps

William Lyon Phelps, Eastern man,
says Westerners are just as patriotic
as Fasteners, and that any attempt
at geographical patriotism should
be silenced.

runs a little higher in the east than
in the west, but there is just exactly
as much depth Of patriotism at bot
TOM" says DR.. Phelps.

led as quickly as possible, and geo.

are out to win this war as soon as
possible, and there should be no divi-
sion of strength

II have no objections to being

at the present time, and France had
very much the same attitude as Eng

OF HOGS
IS Sent down

Recent heavy rains, insuring a
bumper corn crop, caused rush of
hogs to the market and as a result, all
grades of hogs dropped from Is cents
to 81 on Glen Miller market Thursday.
Scarcity OF corn for feed and the
prospects of ruined crop due to the
lack of rainfall had caused a decided
rise in the market last week, but the
rains Of Tuesday night and Wednes-
day cleared the way for a reduction
in price.
Although there is no chance of q
great drop in the price, there is q
possibility that the market will fall
a little below it's present standing.
