Believes War Must Continue
Two or Three Years.
Sees Allies Want No Peace
Under KaiseriSm.
CENTRAL POWERS DOOMED
Americas Resources Thrown
Into Balance Decides War.
Predict German Offer for Peace
Before Winter.

washington, Sept. 19.-Pope Bene-
dict has made his last peace proffer,
according to official cables received
here today. The holy see believes the
war must go on at least two or three
years more-until the full ERECT OF
Americas vast power has been IelL
and either a victory or a hopeless
deadlock in the great struggle reached.
The United Press was informed on the
highest authority today that the vat
lean realizes that peace or further ne
gotiations at present is Impossible
President Wilson's rejection OF the
pope's last peace offer-which reJec-
ton was heartily approved by the al
lies-has convinced the vatican the
allies want no peace which will leave
the central powers under their pres
ent rulers. No peace is possible-as
was announced semi officially re-
cently-which is based on mutual con-
cessions as suggested by the pope.
Allies Have Upper Hand.
1t is realized by the vatican that
the allies with Americas vast re-
sources now thrown into the balance,
now have the upper hand and can
wiring from the central powers peace
acceptable to the democrac1eS. Any
further proffers from the pope would
be foredcomed to failure-even as the
last vast is admitted.
Official cables today state that vat
lean circles throw out the suggestion
of an understanding, at least between
England and Italy, that no peace pro-
posals emanating from the vatican
shall be seriously considered and that
when peace negotiations begin. the
church is not to be admitted into the
pour parlers.' These hints go so
far as to say that Italy's entrance
into the war hinged upon acceptance
OF these conditions. 1t is added that
this never has been denied by the al
lied powers.
Has Peace FeeIers Out?
Germany, however. is expected to
initiate another peace move before
winter. The basis of this is seen in
vague outlines of terms. set afloat
first in Washington three weeks ago,
and now seeping thru the Berlin
censor. These appear to be 'feelers"
both for the benefit of the allies and
the German people. They have been
so confused and in so many cases
launched, only to be denied by the
German foreign office when found
unacceptable that no attention IS now
paid them
= DIPLOMATS here who are in intimate
touch with the international situati ton,
say there is positive knowledge that
Germany will move tagain to end the
war before 1918.

Labor Department Hopeful.
Washington, Sept. 19.-Labor de-
partment officials today expressed the
opinion that there is some prospect of
adjustment soon of the shipbuilding
and iron workers strike at San Fran
cisco.
Their estimate was based largely, it
was said, upon a telegram received
from w. T. Boyce, assistant commits
sioner of immigration at San Fran
cisco. who is acting as conciliator.
Urgent suggestion from the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, however,
that the entire Pacific coast should be
considered a unit in determining wage
scales for shipyard employees dimmed
the hope of shipping board officials
of settling Independently the strike
of iron workers at San Francisco.
Consequently the shipping board de-
voted more attention to solution of the
difficulty arising out of a Seattle COM
pany's action in granting high union
wage demands.

tors that the San Francisco strikers

basis of the Mare Island wage scale

COAL OUTPUT is LOW
Decrease of 100000 Tons Month
in Bituminous Field.

Washington. Sept. 19.-Reports to
the geological survey on production of
bituminous coal show a decrease dur
ing August at the rate of more than
100000 tons a month and indicate
that a shortage of coal this winter,
feared by many government officials.
may be q reality unless production
shows a decided increase.
The chief sections of the country
facing suffering are New England and
the west and northwest. The destitu-
ton in New England has been caused
by the withdrawal of the coastwise
traffic for transatlantic trade of some
of the fleet of vessels already engaged
in transporting coal from New York
to New England ports

The dominant influence in the market was
the indication of easier conditions in money
which encouraged more general buying by
spectators. Much was heard as to the
probability of an early announcement at
Washington regarding steel and copper
prices. Weakness in general motors and
Canadians were followed by strong rally
in these shares. By midday the important
stocks were up 1 to points from yester
day close. Bonds were irregular. Liberty
bonds sold at 99.9S to 100.
Vigorous bidding for stocks brought about
a quick upturn with the opening today.
The strength shown on the first transac-
lions caused a furry among the shorts re-
sulting in a rapid extension of gains in the
