CONCLUSIONS REACHED

with deep-rooted conviction we agree to the leading idea of your holi- ness that the future arrangement of the world must be, based on the elim- ination of armed forces and on tho moral force of right and on the rule of international justice and legality.
 We, too. are imbued with the hope that a strengthening of the sense of right would morally regenerate hu- manity. We support, therefore, your holiness view that the negotiations between the belligerents should and could lead to an understanding by which. with the creation of appropri- ate guarantees. armaments on land and sea and in the air might be reduced simultaneously, reciprocally and grad ua1ly to a fixed limit. and whereby the high seas. which rightly belong to all the nations of the earth, may be freed from domination or paramountcy and be opened equally for the use of
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-09-22
READY TO NEGOTIATE

Fully conscious of the importance of the promotion of peace on the method proposed by your holiness. namely. to submit international dis putes to compulsory arbitration, we are also prepared to enter into nego- tiations regarding this proposal.
 If. as we most heartily desire, agreements should be arrived at be- tween the belligerents which would realize this sublime idea and thereby give security to the Austro Hungarian monrachy for it's unhampered future development, it can then not be diff : ficult to find a satisfactory solution of the other questions which still remain to be settled between the billegerents in a spirit of Justice and of a req sonab1e consideration of the condi- tions for existence of both parties.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-09-22
NO TERMS STATED

If the nations of the earth were to enter, with a desire for peace, into negotiations with one another In the sense of your holiness proposals then peace could blossom forth from them. The nations could attain complete freedom of movement on the high seas, heavy material burdens could be taken from them and new sources of pros- perity opened to them.
 Guided by spirit of moderation and conciliation. we see in the pro- posals of your holiness a suitable basis for initiating negotiations with view to preparing a peace, just to all and lasting, and we earnestly hope our present enemies may be animated by the same ideas. In this spirit we beg that the Almighty may bless the work of peace begun by your holiness

correspondent In Petrograd reports the
death Of Jacob Sholom Abramovitch'
the Jewish writer, in Odessa. He was
sighty-two years old and was univer-
sally known under the pen name OF
Mendele Mocher Seforim. lie was the
founder Of the modern Jewish literature
and was a recognized authority on the
Yiddish language. lie had been Ill a
long time.
Mendele Mocher Seforim was uni
versally known among Jews as the
grandfather lie was the creator OIL
Ire modern Yiddish literature and was
revered by Jews All over the world As
the Las, Of the small group OF pioneers
who in defiance OF all traditions set OUT
about half century ago to convert the
Yiddish dialect into literary language
Ills real name was Sholom Abrsmo-
witch.
Abramovitch probably was the great
est Jewish satirist Of modern times.
Ue gained the reputation OF "the jew
ish Cervan:es" through his exposure Of
The sham phases Of the ghetto's life IN
the nineteenth century. He vas the
fret TO show the prosecuted Russian
Jews the narrowness Of their existence
ind was a powerful factor in the move
n,cnt for enlightenment which set IN
about a generation ago In the midst
of the Russian and Polish Jews.
When Abramovitch began 70 write, IN
the early '70s. the ancient Hebrew was
the literary language OF the Jews. iid-
dish. although spoken, was generally
despised. There was no fiddish 1T
erature and no Yiddish press. Abramo..
witch was the first Yiddish author OF
ability. He lived, however, 70 see the
spread Of Yiddish 10 an undreamed-of
extent. To-day in New York alone
there are five big Yiddish dailies, and
thousands of books have been written
in Yiddish.
The best known OF his works are:
"Die Kiiatsche,' a beautiful allegory OF
the history of Jewish persecution and
It's effects on national character; "Das
Kleine Menschel," satire Of a sell
made man; "Fischhe der krumer,' q
study of beggRr life, and Die Takse,
a criticism of the Jewish communal
