This was the Interpretation placed

Austrian reply TO Pres't Wilson's
note received from Vienna
The Austrian reply has been
handed TO American Ambassador
Penfeld at Vienna and is being
forwarded 70 Washington. Accord
ing TO press versions Austria warns
Americans and other neutrals not
10 take passage on belligerent ships

pursue a certain war policy toward
another group OF belligerents, il is
the duty of the neutrals to take
measures to avoid conflicts with
that policy.

by wounded men. The troops were

BARNES ON WAR CABINET
Storm Is Expected To Break as Per-

Stockholm Conference.

London.-A day of great political
excitement in London concluded with
the announcement that George Nlcoll
Barnes, Minister of Pensions, had
been appointed to replace Arthur Hen
derson as Labor member of the war
Cabinet. The appointment, according
to a semi-official statement, has the
approval of all the other Labor mem
bers of the Government.
Thus the crisis which seemed TO
threaten the existence of the Govern
ment was at least temporarily solved,
and unless unexpected developments
occur there will be no appeal to the
country.
The Government announced to Par
lament that the Ministers had de-
cided no. to grant passports to dele
gates to the Stockholm international
Socialist Congress, thereby falling IN
line with other allied governments in
this respect. 1t is not doubted that
this decision will be accepted by the
major section of the country and by
the newspapers.

fierce HAND-TO-
BATTLE is RAGING
IN THE STREETS IN THE WEST
ERIN PART OF THE FRENCH
COAL CITY OF LENS.
Whereby British and Canadians Cap
tured Hill 70-War Depart
ment Predicts Fall.

London.-Fierce hand-to-hand fight
ing is raging in the streets in the
western part of the great French coal
city of Lens. Following the brilliant
advance whereby the British and
Canadians captured Hill 70. War De-
partment officials here predicted the
early fall of the entire city. Five coun-
ter-attacks on, the newly won positions
have been repulsed. The Canadian
casualties were light. Whatever the
outcome, the battle already has taken
a place in the list of the most i'm
portant conflicts in the war through
the capture of Hill 70. Considerable
numbers of German prisoners are be-
ginning to arrive at the collection
depots.
The new British front has been es-
tablished on a triangular line like a
pair of shears whose points are to the
north and south of Lens. The British
attack was made on a 4,000yard front,
which had an extreme depth OF 1,50O
yards. The attack began just as the
first gray streaks of dawn were ap-
pearing. All night the British big
guns had been pouring a steady stream
of high explosive shells into the Ger
man positions, great detonations over
tapping one another like the rapid
cracking of machine gun fire and
swelling into mighty volume OF thun-
der that shook the earth and stunned
the senses. Then, a short time before
the hour of offensive arrived, the bat
teries abruptly ceased and strange,
almost oppressive stiffness, fraught
with the portending cataclysm which
must follow, crept over the country
which until then had been an inferno
of death.

ALLIES REJECT PEACE
PROPOSAL OF POPE
GERMANY MAY ACCEPT OFFER
REDUCTION OF ARMAMENT
AND FREEDOM OF SEAS.
Struqqle for Commercial Supremacy
Must Be Avoided, Says Pontitt-
Would Restore Belgium.

Washington.-Pope Benedict's peace
proposals were not unexpected to the
United States nor to any of the En-
tente Allies. The possibility or
peace move was discussed with Brit
ish Foreign Minister Balfour and vice
Premier Viviani when the BRUSH ana
French official missions were in Wash
ington and it was agreed that the al
lies, including the United States,
should refuse to discuss peace terms
while Germany occupied the territories
she had taken by force, and thereby
avoid what the allied statesmen con-
sidered a German trap. Now the Pom
tiff's proposal presents the question IN
a somewhat different light, ditflcult
perhaps to meet, because it offers TO
a war-weary world a hope for peace
Germany and her allies are expected
promptly to accept the Pope's pro-
posal.
American officials acknowledge that
the -Vatican's proffer is of a nature
calling for a reply Diplomats OF the
Entente circle voice nothing but
unanimous opinion that it will be re-
iected. American officials realize that
a. convincing reply is required for the
worlds page of history. That the pro-
posals can not be accepted as they
stand is certain. That they will not
be accepted at all is probable. The
foundation stones of the plan of the
Pontiff for world tranquility are reduc-
ton of ornaments and freedom OF the
seas. and that there shall be no retalla-
tory struggle after the war for world
commercial supremacy.
Specific proposals made to the bel
ligerents unofficial reports say, in
clude the restoration of Belgium, Ser
bia and Roumania. The questions OF
Trent and Trieste and
Poland, it is suggested, should be adj
iusted peacefully. The Pope's plan
also calls for the return to Germany
of all her colonies.
In July, 1915, Pope Benedict made
his first appeal for peace. At that
time the Pontiff invited all friends OF
peace to join with him in his desire
to bring hostilities to an end. ALMOST
simultaneously with the latest appeal
of Pope Benedict, China entered the
ranks of the belligerents by formally
declaring war upon Germany and Aus
tria-Hungary.
