Y. M. c.. A. Successful in Newport.

Sunday morning the Congregation

message as brought by c. Howard
Ellinwood, a soldier-Y. M. c. A. sec
rotary from Boston. Mr.. Ellinwood
has been at Camp Bartlett during the
summer with headquarters near the
Vermont boys there, by way of ad-
ding interest to his remarks.
His message was forceful and in
teresting, telling of the Y. M. C. A.
work in the war under the symbol of
the, Red Triangle. The Y. M. c. A.
ministers to the soldiers in the
trenches and provides a ''home" for
our boys who now can reach no other

aim is to keep each man clean NOR
ally, and interest, entertain and coun-
sci them.
The work requires money and that

work.
Pledges were taken at the close of

PEACE REPLY OF HUNS
Glands Off" Germany's Policy, Ac
cording to Reply to Pope.

Berlin, Sept. 15.-Germanys re-
ply to Pope Benedict will specifically
declare that Germany has no de-
sire to interfere in the internal af-
fairs of other nations, according to
the Berlin "Lokal Anzeiger."
The form and text of the reply has
been approved by the leaders of the
special Reichstag committee named
by Chancellor MicEaelis.
Stress is laid on the fact chat the
note does not resemble the Amer
lean reply in that it fatty holds no
one nation shall mix in the internal
policies Of another. =
Washington, Sept. l5.-ln quarters
familiar with the position OF the
Vatican on peace it was predicted
here last night that no immediate
word may be expected from l ope
Benedict following the Transmission
to him of the central powers reply
to his peace note. This reply was
reported to have been received IN
Rome yesterday.
The outstanding feature of the
German position as outlined here
that no country must be permitted
to interfere in the internal affairs
Of another-was no surprise to Dip
lomats who have been watching the
correspondence. This was expected
to be set forth as rather sharp re-
plv to the Presidents demand for
the characterization of Germany,
It can be further stated that such
position will not be wholly in dis
accord with the stand of the Pope
He has already been reported as
astonished that President Wilson
SHOULD demand a reform of German
internal affairs.
It is generally believed that the
