Test of Majority Coming

Comment Of the political censorship,
giving the government four weeks. un-
til the opening of the Reichstag, to
show results.
The Reichstag committee in its secret
sessions, which were devoted to the dis
position of occupied territory, took no
action regarding the French provinces
and Belgium. Reports are that the
committee took stand in favor of the
installation at the soonest moment pos
sible of an actual Polish government
and the erasure Of the frontier line
which has divided the occupied Polish
districts into Austrian and German
spheres Of administration. The res

Italian Women Scorn
Austrian Peace Plea

A special dispatch to tho "BoNe-
tho della Sera," an Italian daily
published here, tells of an unsuccess-
tM effort by Austrian ufragists to
influence Italian colleagues to work
for peace. The dispatch reads:
ROME, Aug. 3l.--The Swedish Society
for Women's Suffrage has delivered q
letter from the Austrian suffrage or
ganization in Vienna TO the Italian
Suffrage Federation, intimating that IL
Italian suffragists would promote
meetings in favor Of peace. they would
do the same in Austria. .he letter was
signed by Ernestine Won Furth, Aus
trian suffrage leader
Teresa Labriola, Romelia Troise and
Mario Bianchi-Miani replied, in the
name of the Italian Federation, dis
painfully rejecting the proposal. Their
statement says:
From the time OF (Italian) neutral
itv the Italian suifragists have under
stood the moral greatness of the pres
cnt war, and. with a full ard mature
political consciousness, have been and
are with the government that fsvors
war and will conduct il to a victorious
peace. In reply to the insidious pro-
posals which are coming from the
country Of hsngmen. We heartily cheer
our glorious army, which. in these days
of victory, is renewing the bravery o.
the Italian race. and we recall with de-
voted affection the martyrs Of Austrian
despotism."

the Pope, and our peace-loving Presi-
dent. are both working" he said, "for
the same ultimate purpose, permanent
peace, and their united endeayors, with
Gods help, will surely win.
"And you, with perfect. serene faith
in our Holy Pontif's prayers and per-
feet, serene confidence in our Presi-
dents purpose, will, oy your courage,
YOUR self-control, your obedience, your
discipline, aid powerfully the tremen-
dous spiritual force resulting from the
noble impeachment in intention and
sentiment of the two greatest inhu-
ences in the whole world, the head Of
the old historic church and the head Of
American democracy-the two powers
which will, God helping both, in the
end succeed in routing this spectre a.
awful war and binding all the peoples
of the earth in understanding and
amity.
"'The basis Of all future peace must
be justice and fairness and the COM
mon rights Of mankind These are our
Presidents own words; these | know
to be the identical sentiments OF the
Pope.
you constitute a goodly part of the
great heart OF America. which yearns
for lasting peace and is willing TO
offer her best that all the peoples Of
the earth may be rescued from the
perpetual menace Of war and all the
cruelties of constant conflict"
Reminding the soldiers that duty had
called them to a high service-a service
demanding perhaps the greatest of all
scrifces-Cardinal O'Connell said:

as Americans you must not finch"

the annexation by France Of Syria. All
this was done, MichaciIs charged, with
the approval of Great Britain.
1t is not expected here that there
will be any bareback in Germany from
the reply to the Pope to be dispatched
by Michaelis.
Germany's Morale Not Shaken
II was recalled to-day that in the
first months of the war both General
Won Hindenburg and the Emperor de-
clared the nations with the steadiest
nerves would win the war, and it is ac-
knowledged that the great German con-
quests in Russia and Rumana and the
small advances Of the Allied troops in
the West, compared with their OK
penditures, together with the larger
toll taken by the submarines, have not
had the effect Of damaging the German
morale.
Recognition by the United States in
President Wilson's note TO the Pope
of the possibility of a stalemate in the
war may also, it is thought here, be
taken advantage of by the German mil
itary caste TO strengthen the hold Of
autocracy on the people. although the
admission of the possibility of the war
not being fought TO a decision WAS
made also to inform the German people
that in such an event there would be
formed a world league against them.
Secretary OF State Lansing said to-
day that according TO message from
Ambassor Page President Wilson's re-
ply to the Pope had been received by
the whole British public with greater
enthusiasm than any previous declara-
tion by the President, with the excep-
ton Of his address 10 Congress and the
declaration of war. The approval Of
the rote. Ambassador Page stated, was
enthusiastic and universal
Paris Conference Not Considered
1t was indicated that President Will
son did not have in mind at all when
he wrote the answer to the Pope the
Paris Economic Conference. one pas
sage in his reply having been con-
strued as a denunciation OF the pro-
gramme agreed upon at that meeting
for the economic alignment OF the En-
tente powers against the Central en-
pires after war.
No expression of the government
relative to the Paris Economic Confer
once could be obtained.
More consideration is being given
here to the project of declaring state
Of war with Austria Hungary. The
brilliant Isalian victories have indi-
Gated that decision might be reached
with Austria Hungary. and II it should
be Germany would be divorced from
the Near East. losing the major part
of the advantages she has wrung from
the Balkans and from Turkey.
There is now no indication OF any
intention on the part Of any of Cor
many's allies to desert her. but it is
believed both Bulgaria and Turkey
would be willing to negotiate for peace
should Austria Hungary be defeated.
