Swing America to Side OF Peace.
VIII Not Abandon Efforts.

Rome. Sept. Pope Benedict
regards President Wilson as more

than any other belligerent ruler, ac-
eording TO authoritative Vatican re-
ports today.
No attempt was made in papal
circles to conceal hitter disappolnt-
ment at the reply. The charge was
voiced that the President had. con-
tradcted himself and had begged the
question.
Emphasis was laid today on the
fact that despite the unfavorable
reply from President Wilson, Pope
Benedict does not intend to abandon
his attempts to restore peace. When
all the bellgerents shall have re-
Piled the Holy Father proposes an
ther attempt.
4 second note probably will set
forth the points Of unanimity in peace
aims developed in all the reply notes
and will discuss the points Of var
lance.
A special effort, however, may he
made before this second general note
to the wu"ld to sway President VIII
son and America. The Vatican may
concentrate its peace persuasion ON
the President, first because of the
view that he is now more determined
on war To decision than any other
ruler; second, because OF indications
that his reply will 1c accepted word
for word as that of the allies: third.
because Americas great moral forces
are relied. upon; and fourth. because

peace suggestions were merely a step

Robinson Crusoe Tonight

An interesting evolution of the
children's picture is found in Henry

best story for little ones ever writ
ten in that it certainly has no feat
ures that could be found fault with
on the score of violence OF any other.
In moving pictures. however, 1t as
sumes an added interest, for as the
scenes of CruSoe's life unfold them
selves on the screen it becomes a
romance of adventure fit for serious
consideration of the most sophlstl-
Gated adult mind. 1t is still a child
ren's production. only that it makes
