OF all the people at this time, the
Pope is the very last who should die
tate terms OF peace. The Established
church N all the fighting nations has
totally failed and shown itself too
weak and incompetent, impotent to
handle any part of the question.
Though virtually Christian nations,
the Church has not been able TO influ-
ence its members to any preceptible
degree, therefore let it KEEP hands, off !;
the war should 60 on till kings, mobiles,
autocracy of all kinds end; then the
belligerent should settle terms. No
peace without victory. A man half
licked is always ready to fight again,
so is a nation; therefore the thing
needed IS to lick the enemy good and
plenty, set our own peace terms, sans
Church aid, and make earth safe for

It's lonesome in the stable yard and
where the chickens pep"
It's dull and stupid round the house,
the kittens fast asleep;
Old Towsef nosin' everywhere and
huntin' round the place,
Comes back to whine and paw my
knee and look up in my fac;
And Mother, in the kitchen there
amongst the pans and things,
Is busy, but ! haven't heard the song
she always sings;
There's somethin' missing somethin'
wrong that piles the work and
And don't 1 know it? Well, 1 guess
He's gone to school today.
He started out at half past eight, all
rugged up in his best,
And with the slate beneath his arm,
the books and all the rest;
And Mother fixed his tie once more
and did her best to smile,
And l stood by and praised him up
and laughed about his "style."
But when he marched off down the
road and stopped to wave goodbye,
Twas kind of cholxy in my throat
and misty in my eye.
Proud of him? Well, I rather guess,
And happy too-but say!
It's mighty lonesome round the
place. He's gone to school today.
But 'tisn't jest the Ionesomeness that
ais US, don't you know,
1t isn't jest because he's gone till
four o'clock or so;
It's like the little worsted socks that's
in the bureau there,
It's like the little dresses, too, that
once he used to wear,
The thought that something's past
and gone-outgroWn and put away
That brings to Mothers heart and
mine the bitter-sweet today;
It's just another forward step in
Times unchangin' rule
Our baby's left US now for good our
bow has gone to school.

Of any kind have been issued and this
statement is based on reports by
workmen and rescuers who returned
to Vallejo after battling the resultant
fire at the navy yard, or telephoned

Gunner A. S. Mckenzie his wife and
two children; George Stanton, of South
Vallejo, a gardener and his wife
whose names are unknown, who were
living at the Mckenzie dwelling and
Neal Damstead, of Vallejo.
First reports were that the entire
magazine of the navy was destroyed.
Later workmen explained that what is
known as the black powder magazine
these is the BLACK powder storehouse'
and it was there that the explosion
occurred.
Nearly three hours after the explos-
ion, it was impossible to get any def
mite statement from navy officials at

Workmen returning to Vallejo
across the straits from the yard, de-
clare that nearly all the houses used
as residences by workmen and officers

many casualties have occurred.
AmbuIances Kept Busy.
Ambulances have been going back

navy yard to the scene of the ex-

FRENCH IN SURPRISE ATTACK.
Sudden Offensive Lands Victory and
Recapture of Trenches.

Paris, July 9.-Suddenly assuming
the offensive French troops swept for
ward last night between Bovette's
ridge and Chevregny, recapturing
first line trenches over d front of a
mile, according to today's official re-
port.
Between Bovette's ridge and Chew
regny we counter-attacked and in
sharp fighting the French, with ad-
mirable ardor, re-took the first line
trenches on a mile front, regaining the
major part of the territory lost in the
enemy's powerful action Sunday be-
tween Pantheon and Froidemont
farm the war office asserted. In
the region south of Filain, artillery fire
reached a violent intensity. Around
Pantheon a strong enemy attack was
brilliantly repulsed-
Used IL Fresh BattaliOns.
Later details of the enemy's attack
Sunday between Pantheon and Froide-
mont farm show that twelve fresh bat
talions and three different divisions
of picked troops participated against
us. The attack was accompanied by
liquid fire. Prisoners taken by US con-
firm the heavy losses we inflicted on
the enemy.
ION the left bank of the Meuse, in
the salient west of Mort Homme
dead Mans HID two attacks were
repulsed.
In the Champagne, raids were re-
pulsed between Rood, st. Hiiaire, ST.
Suplet.'
The section where the French
counter-attack thus detailed won back
ground from the Germans was that in
which the German army staff tried
desperately to break the French grip
around Laon. The assaults started
ten days ago and were made by a
prodigious expenditure of ammunition
and great masses of troops. 1t was
the Germans most powerful offensive
against the French since the Verduu
attacks. The enemy forced relinquish-
ment of a small section of trenches
by the Frnch.

Obligatory Arbitration Is One

Stockholm, July 9-Immediate
conclusion of peace conditions which
shall include the establishment of an
international convention to bring
about general disarmament is the de-

according to German minority Social
lists who have just issued a lengthy
memorandum. Economic isolation of
states is condemned the memoran-

national arbitration should be insti-
tuted. Equal rights of all inhabitants
of any country regardless of national
ity, race or religion is an imperative
necesssity. Other recommendations
are:
Secret treaties must be abolished
Notifications of frontiers must de-
pend on the consent of the popula-
tons concerned and must not be ef-

1t is impossible to refuse Belgium

WHISKY FIRM QUITS
In Business Sixty Years-Has Incom.
of Two Million Year.

Chicago, July 9.-Congress's anti
whisky legislation claimed its first big
victim today.
Chaplin & Gore, one of the largest
whisky manufacturing concerns in the
country, is going out of business, ac-
cording to announcement by Charles
H Hermann, president of the firm
and directing head of the National
Distillers and Wholesale Liquor Deal
ers' association
The concern has been in business
here sixty years and in receEt years
its gross income was over S2,000.UU0 a
year.
Years supply on Hand.
HTmann declared that the present
supply-about 200.00O,0OO gallons
of whisky would not last more than
a year, at the normal rate CT con-
sumption. He predicted tina. two
thousand saloonkeepers in Chicago
would be forced out of business with
in sixty days and that a proport. onate
number thruout the country would
likewise close their places. He be-
lieves the senate's action in prohibit
ing the use of foodstufs for n5nufac-
turing whisky, besides ordering the
seizure of all whisky in bond, Will be-
come a law within two weeks.
Hermann denied tht the same law
which permits retention of whisky
mot in bond has caused ii specula :
tive interest among the trade.
