DROPS! PEACE WRITING
Pope Benedict Finds Time Not Pro-
pitious for Further Notes.


Washington, Sept. 20.-Diplomatic
circles here heard yesterday that
the Vatican has given up any imne-
date thought of a further peace note.
The abandonment of the Pope's hope
for peace is reported to be based
on two factors.
/. The Presidents reply to the
Pope's last note approved by all the
entente allies and the last word
from Germany as to her terms are
50 far apart that the Pope is con-
WINGED that no negotiations at this
time would be fruitful.
2. Italy and England are reported
q have entered into an agreement
that will bar the Pope himself from
any peace conference. This has, 1t
is believed, discouraged Pope Bene-
dict because he had hoped through
his good Offices in bringing a:out
neace to secure certain concessions
for his church by participation IN
the peace conference.
The surprising come back Oh the
Russians is also believed to have ;aa
weighty influence on the retarda-
ton of peace negotiations 1t mas
deprived the German government OF
the sweeping victory upon which Ger
ma, popular opinion could be made
to believe an offer of peace at this
time to be one made after success
fnl war. It has encouraged the aliles
in their faith that they have the
Teutsn powers in an ever-tightenlng
iron ring.
Austrian influences, always power
ful at the Vatican, are also believed
to have relaxed their pressure Ior
peace with the failure of the ltailan
offensive so far to develop into a
vital thrust into the middle OF the
dual empire.
1t is confidently believed here how:
ever, that the purported refusal OF
pope Benedict to engage in further
efforts at pourparlers will but re-
double the activity of the Germans
in sending up test balloons OF un-
authenticated peace offers. In fact
the first of these appeared in Wash
ington's sky yesterday afternoon m
storv that Bulgaria was seeking a
separate peace.

Allies, Disguised by Broken; 5From'-
ses, Plan His Overthrow.
A complete readjustment IN the
Balkan situation, with the probable
overthrow Of the Venizelos govern
ment in Greece, is forecasted by al
lied diplomats in Washington and by
officials in close touch
with the situation. 1t is believed that
dissension among our allies in the
Balkans can only be averted by Ven
izelos' retirement.
Venizelos has failed to carry on his
promise to Senator Jannart, repre-
senting the allied interests, to mobl-
lie the Greek troops and place at
least 10000 men in the field; ne
has failed to queil internal STRIFE;
except by arresting all who have OPP
nosed him; he has failed in his
agreement to call for popular cleo
tons, and in short has constituted
himself dictator with personal am
bition above the needs Of his country
or of his obligations to the allies, It
is stated authoritatively here.
Private advices received from
Athens state that the people are
thoroughly sick of Venizelos and that
he is hurting the allied cause by ms
tactics. It is charged that he has
plaved fast and loose with his own
people and with the allies and that
his dealings with other Balkan coun-
tries has tended to ALLEVIATE them
from the allied cause.

WILD PRIMARY RIOT
Murder and Assaults Mark Hot Polit-
zeal Fight in Philadelphia.

philadelphia, Sept. 20.--This city was
aroused by murder and riot yester-
tav in the Fifth ward, known as the
Bloody Fifth" The murder, that OF
policeman, by a man declared to
be a gunman imported from Jersey
CITY, was the outcome of 4 bitter polit-
zeal fight between two rival Repub-
lican factions for the control Of the
ward, which skirts the river front.
For weeks the battle has waged,
eliminating yesterday when the pri-
mary election was held for the nam
ing of candidates. James A. Carey
holding rather prominent city
office. and Isaac Deutsch were the
opponents for the nomination for
select councilman from the ward on
the Republican ticket. Early in the
day Carey, while making the rounds
of the ward, was attacked by man
alleged to be Jacob Mascia, of Jer-
sey City. He was struck from be-
hind with a sandbag and then black
lacked. At the same time j. II
Maurer, an assistant district attor'
ney, was attacked. Policeman Geo,
A. Eppley, of the vice squad, went
TO their rescue, and. it is alleged
Mascia placed q revolver against MS
abdomen and fired. Eppley died
later in hospital. On his deathbed
he identified Mascia as his assailant.

Our people fail to realize that there is . serious shortage of material and they may not be able to buy imple- ments in the near future even If they have the money to pay for them. Through neglect and improper care they are permitting their tools and machinery to depreciate in value as much as 30 per cent year.

 Farm Machinery a Necessary
 investment.
 From business standpoint, farm machinery must be considered a nee essary investment. Economy means management without loss or waste and only when the most strict econo- my is practiced will the highest pos sibie dividends be obtained from the machines used on the farm. Length ,ening the life and efficiency of the farm machinery is the most practical method for increasing this dividend per dollar investment. Improper care of farm machinery cuts down the farmers yearly savings by reducing the efficiency of his machines and in crossing the piles of discarded imple- ments throughout the country. Weak ened part of implements, due to rust ing and rotting, break when strain ts placed on them and as result the repair bill is increased to say nothing of the time lost and farm work de- layed while repairs are being sent for.
