GERMANY AND AUSTRIA
HOPE PEACE PLEA WINS
Charles Says War Would End if BeIii-
0erents Would Enter Into Ne
! gotiations.

Amsterdam, Sept. 22.-The German
government, in it's reply to the peace
note of Pope Benedict, copy Of which
has been received here, "cherishes a
lively desire" that the appeal may
meet with success.
Emperor William, the German note
says, has been following the efforts
of the pope toward peace for a con-
siderable time with high respect.
The text of the German reply reads:
Herr Cardinal: Your eminence has
been good enough, together with your
letter of August 2, to transmit to the
kaiser and king, my most gracious
master, the note of his holiness, the
pope, in which his holiness, filled with
grief at the devastations of the
world war, makes an emphatic peace
appeal to the heads of the belligerent
peoples. The kaiser-king has deigned
to acQuaint me with your eminence's
letter and to intrust the reply to me.
Ellis majesty has been following for
q considerable time with high respect
and sincere gratitude his holiness eff
forts in spirit of true impartlallty
to alleviate as far as possible the SUI
ferings of the war and to hasten the
end of hostilities. The kaiser sees in
the latest step of his holiness fresh
proof of his noble and humane feel
ings, and cherishes lively desire that
for the benefit of the entire world the
papal appeal may meet with success
The text of the German reply In part
reads:
"Holy Father: With due yenera-
ton and deep emotion we take cog
nizance of the new representations
Your holiness, in fulfllment of the
holy office intrusted you by God, make
10 us and the heads of the other bel
ligerent states with the noble inten-
ton of leading the heavily tried ma
tons to unity that will restore peace
to them.
with q thankful heart We received
this fresh gift of fatherly care which
you, holy father, always bestow on
all peoples without distinction, and
from the depth of our heart we greet
the moving eXhOrtatiOn which your
holiness has addressed to the gov
ernments of the belligerent peoples.
During this cruel war we have al
ways looked up to your holiness as
to the highest parsonage who, in vir-
tue of his mission, which reaches be-
yond earthly things and, thanks to
the high conception of his duties laid
upon him, stands high above the bel
ligerent peoples and who is inaccessi-
bic to all influence, was able to find
o way which may lead to the real
ization of our own desire for peace,
lasting and honorable for all parties"

nportant requirement. Pneumonia

nportant requirement Pneumonia
germs are almost always present. 1t is
only when they find victim whose i'm
paired resistance makes him good soil
for Infection, that they work havoc.
Coed rules for avoiding pneumonia
are the simple rules Of health. First,
keep away from those who have the
disease; second, furnish your body
with fighting strength against the
germs in case they do gain entrance.
Put up stubborn fight against care
less splitting, coughing and sneezing.
Beware of predisposing conditions such
as common colds and excuses OF all
kinds Hospital records show that the
death rate among alcoholics is especial :
ly high; the confirmed smoker. whose
nose and throat are irritated by tocacco
fumes, makes relatively an easy victim.
\ Get plenty of rest plenty of exercise,
and above all, plenty of fresh air In
crowded street cars or in congested,
close places of any kind, pneumonia
finds ideal conditions for spreading.
Avoid dangerous exposure, but live IN
fresh air, work in fresh air, sleep In
fresh air, and help to reduce the pneu-
mo 1ia rate in 1917 and 1918.
