POPE PROPOSES PEACE;
 ALLIES LOOK ASKANCE
Pontiff Proposes None of the Belligerents Win Conditions Previous to War Main Pro- visions Included.

Rome, Aug. 14.-Peace proposals made by Pope Benedict have been de- livered to all the belligerents.
 The pope's appeal proposes that there be no annexatons and no in- demnities except in special cases such as Belgium and Servia, the return to Germany of her colonies in exchange for the occupied departments of France, freedom of the seas, disarma- ment and the formation of a supreme court of arbitration for the settle ment of future international disputes. Washington, Aug. 14.-An unoffi- cial outline of Pope Benedict's peace proposals received here discloses that the pontiff includes some of the prin- ciples of world peace for which Presi- dent Wilson has declared.
 Among the pope's proposals are re- seas and that there shall be no retail iatory struggle after the war for world commercial supremacy. These are regarded as the foundation stones of the pope's plan.
 1 Included in the restoration of terri tory, the pope's proposals insist, should be the return to Germany of all her colonies, as well as the con- plete restoration of Belgium to her sovereignty.
 The pope's proposal declares that the injuries to all belligerents have been so great that there should be no thought of reparation except for the return of territory.
 The pope's proposal is quite long Although special efforts are being made to facilitate it's transmission to the United states, this may not be effected for day or two.

NAMES OFFICERS OF
 NEW NATIONAL ARMY
President Sends List to Senate for Approval - Nominations Include Officers of Regular Army and Guard.

Washington, Aug. 4-Nominations of nearly 200 general officers in the national army, including officers of the regular army and the national guard, were sent to the Senate today by President Wilson.
 From the 37 new major generals to be created for the duration of the war and from the existing major gen. erals of the regular army will come the army, corps and division com manders of all the forces being raised, regulars, national guard or national army. Similarly the brigade commanders will be selected from the list of more than 100 new brigadiers
 Coincident with this announcement of high command came the statement from the War Department that composite national guard division, composed of troops from 26 states and the District of Columbia, was in process of organization under the command of Brig. Gen. Mann, at present chief of the militia bureau of the department, but who heads the district of national army major gen. erals.
 These will be the first national guard troops to be sent to France. No discussion is permitted by the censor ship regulations, however, of the time of their mobilization or departure for the front.
 The list of general officers shows that the seniority rule has been fol- lowed closely, except where men in line for promotion were found want ing by the board of officers which made the recommendation to the president. The rule laid down by Sec retary Baker for selection of general officers directed that two major quali- fications govern the board-evidence during their army careers of skill in leading troops in action and in train ing soldiers.
 The list of major generals take in virtually all of the army brigadiers and includes the only two national guard officers of that rank, Gems. O'Ryan of New York and Clements of Pennsylvania.
 The list of brigadiers is made up from the existing list of brigadiers of the national guard with a score or more colonels of that service who are | advanced in rank and of regular army colonels from each arm of the service. To fill out the list of coast artillery appointments, two lieutenant colonels were advanced to brigadier rank.

CHICAGO, Oct. 4-The New York Giants, champions of the National league, limbered up their muscles today in preparation for their coming battle with the Chicago White SoX for the worlds championship They were op- posed by the Chicago Cubs who won the game, to D. The league leaders did not exert themselves after a few
 innings. Manager McGraW sent his regular lineup, with the exception of his batterymen, into the game at the start. Burns. Herzog, Kauf Zimmerman, Fletcher and Holke were given rest after they had played a few innings. Herzog played at his regular gait. He showed much speed in scoring, on one occasion sliding under j'farrell after sacrifice fly to short center The other regulars also benefited by the work

CHICAGO, Oct 4.-With fair weath- CT promised for the opening game of the worlds series Saturday between the New York Nationals and the Chi caso Americans and the ticket scalpers apparently routed the invaders 'romped through practice game with the Chi cago Nationals this afternoon. the Cubs winning, to ,. The season being over, nobody paid any attention to the score, but much to the batting. The at tendance was small. but this was no criterion of the interest felt in he big series. It is intense.
 The recent bold announcements of those who, as brokers work between the box office and the ultimate con- sumer, that they would have plenty of tickets for all at ultra -profiteering prices went into eclipse during the day but their prices scared. The brokers paid back thousands of dollars in de- poSits and it was learned that none of them had more than a dozen of the three game tickets for sale The price of box seats accordingly scared to S75 and even the mere reserved seats, made ot hard wood slats and worth at the factory maybe S9, were quoted for three sittingS of two or three hours each at S35
 The scarcity of scalper tickets was attributed to the energy which Owner Comiskey displayed in seeking to cir cumvent the practice He held back distribution until this morning; num- bered the tickets and indeXed the | names of the purchasers; obtained the
 aid of the states attorney and the chief of police; and promised full pub 1 licity in the advertising columns of f ha b.a
 purchasr had transferred his ticket to broker The best the latter could
 promise was that they would have
 plenty of pasteboards for the third Chi | cago game, on the theory that many 1 ticket holders, having seen two games, would be ready to dispose of their third
 tickets But unless the unexpected oc- l CUTS between now and Saturday, the scalpers will have been vanquished
 The lines at four ticket wickets at the 1 ball park began forming at o'clock l this morning and the procession con | tinued until all the fifteen thousand re- served seat tickets had been given out.
 In the matter of betting, the locals talked loudly of six to five on Comis- key team and the New York adherents 1 talked the same odds as to their men
 but what actual betting could be To- cated was at even money. There were
 many freak bets, involving small sums, l ranging from 10 to 1 that neither club would take four straight to two to one that Collins would outhit Herzog. While l the crowd was clamoring for tickets outside the White SoX park, the Amer ican League champions put in severa hours of practice The diamond was a bit soggy due to recent heavy rams and it was covered tonight so as to DC

FINANCES AND MARKETS

NEW YORK, Oct. 4. (Wall Street)-- On pronounced accession of offerings, liquidation of stocks assumed wider proportions today taking in shares of all descriptions. At no time did the decline meet with more than casual oposition. Sentiment was preponder- antly bearish and the shorts experi- enced no difficulty in extending opera tions.
 There was no news to explain the more acute depression. Some of the days advices were distinctly hopeful. War shares and industrials in general displayed increasing weakness in the face of favorable developments. Ab- sence of buying power constituted the most disconcerting feature of the mar ket.
 Low records for the current move ment and in numerous instances for years included representative rails.
 Extreme recessions of 2 to points were made by active industrials United States Steel recorded a net loss of 25s to 1057s, effacing virtually all las. weeks rise. Sales 900,000 shares.
 Bonds were heavy. Liberty 31b's varied from 99.7S to 99.92. Total sales, par value, aggregated $3, ,950 900. United States old issues were unchanged on call, the coupon 3's rising $ on sales.

 CHICAGO, Oct. 4.-Reports that British military successes in Belgium bore promise of radical developments such as soon wiping out the German submarine bases near at hand did a good deal today to induce free selling of corn.

Provisions fin ished 32 cents to 57 cents down, except October ribs which gained AZ cents net.
 Bear pressure on corn reached the maximum shortly before the end of the session after word was circulated of d big British victory. Reports were cur rent of an embargo on grain shipments to Baltimore and that new difficulties were being encountered in getting per mits for exports. From the outset oI the days trading, prices had a down ward slant most of the time influ- enced largely by unsettled condition: in the security market and by refer ence to money tightness. Ideal weather for maturing late corn also was bear. iSh factor
