Germany Accepts Pope's Peace
Proposals

Amsterdam, Sept. 2l.-The
German government in its reply
to the peace note of Pope Bene
dict, a copy of which has been
received here, "cherishes a live
ly desire" that the appeal may
meet with success.
Emperor William, the German
note saws, has been following
the efforts OF the pope toward
peace for a considerable time
with high respect.
The text of the reply reads:
Herr CARDINAL: Your emf
nence has been good enough,
together with your letter of
August 3, to transmit to the
kaiser and king, my most graz
clous matter, the note of his
holiness, filled with grief at the
devastations of the world war,
makes an emphatic peace ap.
peal to the heads of the beliger
ent peoples. The kaiser-king
has deigned to acauaint me with
your eminence's letter and to en-
trust the reply to me.
His majesty has been follow
ing for a considerable time with
high respect and sincere graft
tude his holiness efforts in a
spirit OF true impartiality to allie
vlate as far as possible the suf
ferings of the war and to hasten
the end of hostilities. The kai.
ser sees in the latest step of his
holiness fresh proof of his noble
and human feelings and cherish
es a lively desire that for the
benefit of the entire world the
papal appeal may meet with
succuss.
The reply adds that the effort
,oi Ne pJSeW pave. the way to
an understanding might most
surely be reckoned to have a
sympathetic reception from, and
the whole hearted support Of,
the German emperor since he
has regarded it as his principal
and most sacred task to preserve
the blessings of peace for the
German people and the world.

KAISER WILHELM CALLS

COPENHAGEN, via. London, May

ALL BIDS FOR IMPROVING
LINCOLN WAY REJECTED

The contract for the construction
OF the Melville st. sewer was award
ed Monday TO the Midland Construe-
ton Co. by the board of public
works in session. The company's
bid was s1,24S.43. Bids for the re-
surfacing of Lincoln way from
Church st. to West st. were opened,
but because the lowest was more
than $4,000 above the estimate by
City Engineer Stevens. all bids were
rejected. The engineers estimate is
$4,000 and the lowest bid received
Monday was S29.720. The question
Of resurfacing a portion OF the
street and constructing the balance
entirely new was discussed at length
by the board. Bids for the work
will likely be readvertised.

HUMAN|TYS LARGER
LIFE IS At STAKE
That Civilization May be Pur-
chased by Sac
rifice.

Speaking from the theme, The
Divine Paradox, in the Methodist
church last evening. Rev. b. Earle
Parker, pastor. said in part:
Those of us Of suitable age and
qualifications must be willing 10 sac
rifice personal interests 10 render
military service. our government has
reserved the right TO require the
banks. the factories, the farms and
the transportation companies TO
place their vast resources at its dis
posal and now by the CONSUMPTION
law 1t lays its hand upon the home
and requires IL TO give its best. The
future years will attribute no stigma
10 the man who was conscripted in
this war. IL is but a form Of univer-
sal service. But great will be the
honor accorded to the young men
like those who have left us, who
without waiting 10 be called have
volunteered in the hour of their
country's need. Well may we print
their names on our honor roll and
remember them in our prayers. From
the farm they came and office and
ScnOOl ana store. Laying aside with
sublime self remuneration the schO-
lars dream and the bright prospects
of business success they have given
their all to the stern art Of war to
fight and if needs be die for the prin-
cipals of eternal right. Tender are
the ties they severed as standing long
with one TO whom they had plighted
their troth or clasped in their arms
the loved form of the one who gave
them birth, they said good bye. And
the tragedy OF il all is the tragedy
that after these Christian centuries
we have found no better ways TO
settle our difficulties than by the APP
peal TO arms. But such are the facts
and we must face them. The larger
life OF humanity is at stake and these
are they who offer their life today
to find it again whether they sur
vive or perish in the freer air OF a
new and better civilization purchas-
ed by their splendid sacrifice"
