GIVES PROCEEDS
TO RED CROSS
(BY UNITED PRESS)


Washington, Aug. 24.-Up on
Pennsylvania avenue, at the
Southwest corner Of the White
House grounds, Steve Vasilakos
and his peanut-stand hold forth.
Steve, burly, ferce-mustached
Greek, stands scrowling beside his
wailing little nickel plated whistle
and his stack of goobers from
early morning until late at night.
Just to look at him, you'd think
he neither knew nor cared wheth-
er there was a war or not. There
is about him an air Of gross COM
mercialism.
But today, scrowling and crusty
as usual, he tackled this sign,
daubed with red paint on white
cardboard, over his stand:
Il give my entire proceeds this
week to the Red Cross.

The Holy Sees remark touching
Belgium must be excepted from
his original advocating mutual
condonation of damages by the
war, caused a new sympathy for
his appeal.
His elimination of Belgium re-
ference was originally sharply
criticised by the allied nations.
Diplomatic circles view the Vati-
cans comment on world democ-
racy with much speculation. Some
regard it distinctly as a message
to abandon the intention to fight
until the abdication of the Kaiser
is forced.
: It squares however with the
recent comment Of Balfour, OF
England, who said that the de-
mocracky Of Germany must come
from within.
The Pope's warning against de-
mocracy's impetus reaching a
stage of anarchism is uttered par.
ticularly to benefit Russia.

limited Press Staff Correspondents
Rome, Aug. 24.-The United
Press has been authorized by the
papal secretary Of state to make
the following statements:
"The first two points Of the
Pontifcal appeal for peace,
treating respectively Of disarma-
ment and the freedom Of the seas
was suggested by President Will
son in his we'll known message to
the American senate.
consequently we are now in
elined to believe they will now
find on the part Of the American
people the same reception they en-
loved when President Wilson pro-
claimed them at the capital.
'The third and fourth points
were in mutual conformation OF
war expense and damages as well
as mutual restitution Of occupied
territory, formulated from public
speeches recently delivered by
statesmen Of different belligerant
nations and resolutions passed by
their parliaments, therefore the
same statesmen cannot refuse
them now without contradicting
themselves.
"Moreover it is necessary to re-
mark, as the condonation of dam
ages caused by the war that there
is exception applying particular
to Belgium.
The fifth and sixth points con
Germ special territorial questions
about which the Holy Father does
not, and cannot, propose any def
nate conservation, consequently
he confines himself to expressing
a wish that said questions shal
be examined in a conciliatory
spirit, taking into consideration
as far as possible any just asplra
tions.
The Holy See wishes to EN-
phaslze the fact that the appea
has not been suggested by an,
belligerant powers and has no
been inspired to the particular ad
vantage of any warning nation.
FINALLY he said nothing abou
democracy or the demoralizaito1
OF existing governments becaus
history teaches that the form o
government that imposes arm
does not respect the free will o
the people, who having the righ
VI universal suffrage may choos
Whatever form of governmen
they please.
