COUNTY MOBILIZATION SEPT. 5,15 AND Is
.POPE'S PLAN FAILS TO
MENTION DEMOCRACY
OR WILL OF PE0PL
(By John H. Hearley)

Rome, Aug. 24.-(Copyrighted
1917 by the United Press. 1.-The
United Press is authorized by the
papal secretary to make the follow
ing first two points of the pontif1cial
appeal for peace:
Treating disarmament and freedom
Of the seas as suggested by Presi-
dent Wilson in his first well known
message to the senate.
II Consequently the pope is inclined
to the belief that the American peo-
pie will give 1t the same reception
as when President Wilson proclaim
ed them. !.
" Third and fourth points were mu-
tual condonation Of war expenses and
damages as we'll as mutual restric-
ton of occupied territories, proposed
from the public speeches recently de-
Nvered by statesmen of different bel
lfgerent nations. Therefore these
statesmen cannot refute them now
without contradicting- themselves.
It Is necessary to remark as to
condonation damages caused by the
war as exception applies to Belgium.
\ Fifth and sixth points concern spe-
cial questions which the pope does
not and could not propose definite
solution. He said nothing about
democratic nor democratization of
any existing government when his
tory teaches that government i'm
posed by force of arms cannot live,
nor anything with respect to the free
will Of the people in choosing the
form of government they please.

An accurate estimate Of the factory
subscriptions cannot be made today
because some of the returns have not
been made. Moneys from other
sources are still coming in, tee.
While the teams engaged in the

RED CROSS WAR
|. FUND CLIMBS TO
IMMENSE TOTAL
More Than 15O Millions Re.
7 ported to National Head
quarters Already.

Washington, June 26-Collection
of Red Cross war fund subscriptions
obtained in the weeks campaign
which closed in most cities last night
began throughout the United States
today, with indications that the
amount would exceed the 500, 200, 900
goal by at least several million dol
lars.
Headquarters tabulations early to-
day showed a total of $100.500,000,
with some cities yet unreported. This
includes $35,993,000 from New York.
Stories of generosity that amazed
even the campaign directors, reached
headquarters. Wealthy men and wo-
men gave millions, and those of small
er means subscribed to the limits of
their ability. Hundreds Of cities
went far past the goals previously set
for them.
Several hundred Thousand volun-
teer workers participated in the in
tensive canvass, which was unique in
American history. Only three weeks
before had plans for a nationwide
drive been formulated by the new
Red Cross war council. + To organ
ize the country on such short notice
was a tremendous task. but 1t was
accomplished mainly by enlistment OF
trained campaign managers of the
Y M. c. A. and chambers of COM
merce to assist the $500 Red Cross
local chapters. All dropped their
usual work and plunged enthusiast
cally into the work. Most gave their
services free.
The middle Atlantic division was
the first to report an over subscrip-
ton of Its $4,000, 900 apportionnent
Reports early today showed an excess
of about 100000.

ably propose to the deputies that
Greece join the Allies. He does not
intend. however, to mobilize the ma
ton against its will He is expected
first to undertake % great campaign

GETTING READY
FOR SOLDERING
State Troops Officers Ger
tain Call to Active Duty
Will Come Soon

The Home Guard is going on duty
guarding bridges, Irrespective of the
many reports that Gov. Marcus Hol-
comb Is averse to utilization of the
state troops for guarding private prop
erty.
This is the coneensus of opinion
among military men today fo1lewing
a circular issued to the commanders
of the first military district to dis
continue plans for the Fourth of July
parade at Hartford, and to prepare
their units for guard duty
Although a similar order has not
been issued in Bridgeport and 1t is
thought likely that the Fourth naili-
tary division will parade in review by
the military emergency beard In this
city on that date it was announced
today that penehes, blankets and ev-
erceats fer Immediate distribution to
each company arrived under special
rush orders at the auaftefmasters de-
partment of the Home Guard last
night:
They are to be distributed this
week to each company in this district.
Because eff the fact that these articles
came ea a rush order tbs full eeaa=
p1eneat fer each company is not is
sued but ea1y sufficient will be dis
tEl6dtSa t6f tH6 SddFu ddtlSS TO BE
performed by each company.
A high military authority ia this
city when asked to explain the sit
uatiea as. regards the guarding of
bridges here said; s'Fhere is aew ae
question but that the Home Guard
will be Ga duty by July a at the lat
est. Orders are expected EaemeataF-
lily to put serne Of the companies on
duty to relieve National Guardsm en-.
It is likely that GeEerneF He1eerslh
and the military emergency beard will
not permit state soldiers to be used
for private gain by industrial plants
but the railroads and bridges are of
greater national Importance and must
be closely guarded.
Preparations are continuing here
for the Fourth Of July parade al
though orders issued ip Hartford have
taken all Home Guards from the pa
raae there. Tn the event of SONS
units being called to duty before that
date in this district, the Remainder
will march in review before the mill
