Washington. Sept. 20. According
to dispatch received here late to
day Germany. In replying 20 the
pope's peace appeal said: '"The Inn
perial government greets with spe-
cial sympathy the leading Idea OF
the peace appeal wherein His n.o.,
ness clearly expresses n conviction
that In the future material power
OF arms must be superseded by the
moral power OF right"
The German note states that Ger
many and the German people earn
cstly desire peace.
Germany's reply is written by n
member of the emperor's encourage,
while that OF Austria Hungary is n
personal missiye from Emperor
Charles
Both notes TO the pope were made
public almost simultaneously. and
apparently both form the same gen
eral trend. }

infection from disease carrying
trench vermin which otherwise
would be brought into homes while

FIRST CITY IN UNITED STATES
TO RESPOND TO PATRIOTIC
APPEAL
CAMPAIGN CONSIDERED MODEL
Cities in All Northwestern States,
Asked to Follow Example and
Methods OF Grants Pass

The fame Of the enrgetic and sue
cessful manner in which Grants Pass
handled her War Library fund cam
paign has attracted not only state
vide, but national attention.
The following telegram was re-
eeiyed this morning.
Washington. d. C.
Benz. c. Sheldon,
Grants Pass, Ore.
The Library War council con-
graduates you on the city's patrio-
tic response to nations need. Grants
Pass. Oregon. has the distinction OF
being the first city in America to
complete its quota. Other cities are
inspired by your example.
HAROLD BRADDOCK.
Director.
The Oregon state campaign COM
mittee has prepared two-page cir
cular. describing the method en-
ployed in Grants Pass In handling its
campaign. This circular has been
SEN to every local committee and
every newspaper IN tie cities cf
Washington. Idaho, Montana and
Utah, in addition to those of Oregon
thus every city in the northwest has
been bombarded with the news that
Grants Pass has been first in this
important matter.
In addition, the Oregon newspa-
pers we're two days ago circularized
by the state campaign committee. In
which preliminary mention was made
of Grants Pass successes. The follow
ing. clipped from the Roseburg Re-
view, is but one of 40 or so like
notices appearing this week in the
newspapers of Oregon.
Grants Pass started the ball roll
ing by raising s310 (and more yet
to GOMEZ for the War Library rund.
This is we'll in excess of the Grants
Pass quota. 1t was rendered pos
sible because everyone from the
Chamber OF Commerce down the line
got behind the local War Library
council. Grants Pass held its cam
paign a week ahead because 1t had
other patriotic plans for campaign
week. September "a to 29.
Incidentally, Grants Pass has not
only made a statewide record, but a
national record. as it is the first city
in America to subscribe to the
fund"
The Courier has failed heretofore
to mention the fact, that is a fact,
that all the expenses OF this cam
paign for the entire nation has been
met by patriotic and generous east
erners out of their private purses,
hence every dollar contributed in
this drive, goes directly and fully
toward the purchase of books and
equipment of libraries.
