WILSON'S PLAN
IS A DREAM
Pope Will Direct Another Note to Bel
ligerents a. Soon as Entente Al
lies Reply to First One

ROME, Oct. 3.-The reply of the
entente allies to the peace note of
Pope Benedict now is being awaited
by the Vatican, after which the pope
will again address a note to all the
belligerents. The pontiff will point out
that the questions on which all agree
really represent the foundation of a
new era of peace for humanity. The
secondary problems, he will say, GER
tainly can be adjusted easily and bet
ter through good will and friendly
discussion than by force of arms.
1t is understood that the next pap
al note virtually will embody the
views expressed by Cardinal Gaspar-
ri, the papal secretary of state, in
commenting upon the situation after
the publication of the reply to the
central erisires to the pope's note:
president Wilson's proposal to re-
duce arr!amel:s and impose interna-
tional arbitration by force through a
society of nations is a dream An in
ternational army to enforce the YER
diets of the court of arbitration? In
which country would it be located
without being Influenced by local
politics and prejudices? The moon is
the only place.
"All the other inconveniences and
objections could. be avoided by sup
pressing cOnscriptiOn, with the pro-
vision that it could not be re-estab-
lished without law approved by the
people. which in normal conditions
would be improbable. indeed. normal
ly impossible. To this some would OBJ
ject that certain governments first
would declare war and then present
a bill to parliament for the adoption
of conscription and the formation of
large standing army, which parlia-
ment undoubtedly would pass from
patriotic motives. All this would be
possible. but it would be difficult. as
such government first would have
to violate treaty signed in conjunc-
tion with all civilized nations. Then
it would not always be possible to in
duce parliament to vote large mill
tary appropriations"

FOOD IN HOMES
NOT TO BE TAKEN

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Oct. s.
The untracable rumor that the gov
ernment intends to take canned and
dried foods from homes persists and
has spread to such an extent that the
department of agriculturture today
placed an explicit and official denial
in the hapds Of every county agent
and representative. with instructions
to give 1t widest publicity. The gov
ernment never has contemplated
Communicating foods from the homes
in any sense, and the persistency Of
the rumor leads officials to believe
that it's basis probably will be found
in propaganda to hinder food con-
sumption and thereby continue high
prices.

frosted silver, but one could not realize that
he was gazing at the highest known point on
the globe. Mount Everest is almost six
miles above the sea, but my view was cut
off by Kunchinjnga, which is only 1000 feet

Alaska in 1867, but it was not until II years
later that two Alaskan prospectors named
Mayo and Harper made trip 800 miles up
the Tanana river and on their return mel
toned an enormous ice-mountain which
they saw in the south.
In 1889 another prospector named Dens-
more gave an enthusiastic description Of the
mountain, but it was not until 1896 that a
Princeton graduate, w. A. Dickey, Travelled
through the Susitna valley and made an ex-
tended description of the mountain as he
saw it. Mr.. Dickey named the mountain
after President Mckinley and he recorded
that name in letter which was published
in the New York Sun in 1897. Mckinley
had been nominated for the presidency while
he was on his exploring tour, and he gave
the mountain that name on coming out Of

OF the mountain as 10000 feet. A little later
George Eldridge and Robert Muldrow of
our geological survey took it's height by tri-
angulation at 2O,3OO feet, which is the gen
orally accepted figure of it's altitude, al
it 200 or 800 feet higher.
Another remarkable survey was made OF
part of the region by Dr. Alfred Brooks
and d. L. Reyburn, in 1902, and they were
the first men to set their feet upon the slopes
OF the mountain. | have talked with Dr..
Brooks about his experiences. He made a
reconnaissance survey of the western AMI
northwestern face of the group and was the
first to lay out plan for attempting the as
cent of the mountain. Dr. Brooks is one OF
the best authorities on Alaska, and his geog-
raphy of Alaska published by the govern
ment is by far the best authority as to all
matters regarding the territory He esti-
mates the height of Mount Mckinley at TO-
800 feet of Mount Foraker at 1900 feet,
Mount ST. Elias at 1924 feet and Mount
Logan at 1o, $50 feet.
And now as to the ascent of the mountain
The first man to attempt it was James Wick
ersham, who is now the delegate to congress
from Alaska. Judge Wickersham has told
me how he caught sight of the mountain
from far up the Yukon when he first came
to Alaska, and determined to do what he
could to climb to its top 1t was in May,

l can give you close view of Mount Nc,
kinley only from hearsay and from the mag
nificent pictures of Belmore Browne, the
noted mountain climber of the Camp Fire
club of America.
Mr.. Browne is an artist, author and ex-
plorer. He published book entitled the
Conquest of Mount Mckinley" in 1913,
and he showed the photographs that he took
on the slope of the mountain at the meeting
of the national park congress, which was
held in Washington last January. He has
attempted the ascent of Mount Mckinley
both from the south and the NORTH and at
one time he succeeded in reaching within
few hundred feet of the top He has been
over the greater part Of the region which
has been inclosed in the park, and has given
the committees of congress graphic repre-
sentation of the wonders of the mountain
and OF the great droves of wild game which
are to be found on the slopes. Some of my
best impressions of the park have been got
ten from him.
l have also talked with Charles Sheldon
of the Boone and Crockett club OF New
York, about his experiences on the slope OF
Mt Mckinley. He is another of the great
authorities on this out-of-the-way game re-
gon. He built cabin on the slope of the
mountain some years ago and spent winter
or SO there studying the game of the coun-
try and collecting specimens for the biologi-
cal survey in Washington.
In addition to these two men, have met
during my travels in Alaska members of
every party, with the single exception of that
of DR.. Cook of north pole fame, who have
been connected with the attempts to climb
the mountain, or who have succeeded in
reaching its top, so that have considerable
information at first hand concerning it.
The great mountain was known to the
Russians and it was mentioned in literature,
in connection with the coast range, by
George Vancouver, the navigator after
whom Vancouver Island was named He
came into Cook Inlet and reached the site
OF the present town of Anchorage in l7o4.
His records describe his view of "stupendous
snow mountains covered with snow and ap-
parently detached from each other. He
must have seen Mount Mckinley, Mount
Foraker and Others We took possession Of
