Now, the pontiff's proposal presents the question in a somewhat different light. difficult perhaps. to meet. but if offers to a war-weary world hope for peace.
 Germany and her allies are expected promptly to accept the pope's piopos- als.
 American officials acknowledge that the vatican's proffes is of a nature calling for reply. Diplomats of the entente circle voice nothing but un- animous opinion that 1t will be reject ed. American officials realize that a convincing reply is required for the worlds page of history. That the pro- posals cannot be accepted as they stand is certain. That they will not be accepted at all is probable.
 Outline Is Received
 An unofficial outline of the pope's communication was received here this morning. Members of the presidents cabinet said it had not been discussed at this afternoons meeting. but some of the presidents official family gave signs of the difficulty which it has pre- sented. Tonight the official text rad not been received and it had not been established whether it would come through the Spanish ambassador or the Swiss minister. Spain and Swirzer- land are the only two European neu- trals having relations with the vati- can.
 The first appraisal of the pr6p1 al by officials and diplomats was that it was another attempt by Germany. this time working through Austria, because of the latter's close relation to the vatican, to accomplish what she failed

Chicago Trading M Wheat WiU
 Stop Sept. First
(By Review Leased wire.) ]


 CHICAGO, Aug. 14.-In response to a notice from Herbert c. Hoover, food administrator, that the government would undertake purchase of wheat at interior ter minals beginning September 1, the directors of the board of trade here voted today to discontinue all transactions in wheat for future delivery after August 25, 1917.
 The action was taken in view of the suggestion from MT. Hoover . that such further transactions would confuse rather than stabil- ize the price.
 "On September l, 1917, we pro- pose to undertake government purchase of wheat at interior ter minals, with a view to stabilizing the price and to furnish sure mar ket for all arrivals" the food ad- ministrator wrote.
 "In these circumstances, I feel you will agree that trading or quo tations in wheat futures will no longer serve their fundamental purpose and that such transactions will confuse rather than stabilize the price.
 q therefore would be glad if you would take the necessary steps to o'suspend dealings and quo tations in futures in wheat after the above date"
 The board of directors voted that it was the patriotic duty of the board to comply with the sug- gestion.

CONSPIRACY TO FREE INTERNED
 GERMANS FAILS
Immigration Officer Acts as Decoy and Traps Men Who Attempted to Release Bopp and Won Schack.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

SAN FRANCISCO, August H. Lawrence de Lacy, an employe of the Leader, a weekly publication, and D. J. Harnedy, proprietor of shoe store. were arrested here late today as lead CTS of an alleged plot to spirit Franz Bopp, former German consul-general here, ,andEckhard von Schack, vice consul, fro mthe detention camp at Angel Island to a point in Mexico.
 The men were trapped as the result of counter plot directed bw the gov ernment. Last Friday, Patrick J. Far rally, employed here in the immigra- ton service, was ostensibly arrested on complaint charging consipracy in the planned escape of Bopp and von Schack. This complaint was given out for publication after Farrally was taken into custody, but was never filed. United States District Attorney Preston, in furtherance of the govern ment's scheme. brought Farrally be- fore United States Commissioner Francis Krull in order that his bonds might be arranged.
 Obtains Sureties.
 Farrally was told to obtain sureties, and have them appear today to sign the bonds. When the case was called M. A. Greedy and H. Warfeld appear ed and announced their willingness to go on Farrally's bond" When ask ed the names of the parties who inter ested them in Farrally's case, the men mentioned de Lacy and Harnedy. The government previously had received in formation from Farrally that he had received an discriminating letter from Harnedy on June 29. and on August [, received $100 from de Lacy, presum. ably, the government authorities state, for his supposed efforts to liberate Bopp and von Schack. Greedy and Warfield were then advised by Preston that the arrest" of Farrally was schemed and effected by the govern ment in order to bring the real lead CTS in the Bopp plot to light. He also declared Farrally was not under arrest at any time; that he submitted to de- tention in the counyt jail here in or der that the governments plaLs might be furthered; that the com. plaint against him was trap and as a consequence no bonds were neces- sary.
 O'Connor Accused.
 Subsequently the government au- thorities discovered, so Preston de- clares, that the whole matter of ar ranging Farrally's bonds was discuss ed and decided upon by Greedy. War field, de Lacy and Harnedy in the ot- flee of Daniel O'Connell, a local at- torney, who was arrested by govern. ment agents few days ago for plot ting to obstruct she selective draft.
 O'Connor is to come before Commis- sioner Krull for his preliminary hear ing tomorrow.
 After the arrest of de Lacy and liar nedy, Farrally was released and re- turned to his home. He will be the principal witness against the men when they are put on trial. The ar rested men would make no statement.
 Preston characterized Farrally as the greatest little Irishman I ever saw" and upon releasing him thanked him cordially for the part he took in the governments scheme to break up the alleged plot.
