THE POPE TO TRY AGAIN.
Pontiff to Point Out that Questions on
Which All Agree Form New Basis.

Rome, Sept. 24.--The reply of the en-
tente allies to the peace note of Pope
| Benedict is now being awaited by the
/ Vatican, after which the pope will again
address note to all the belligerents,
said Rome dispatch Saturday night.
The pontiff will point out that the ques-
tions on which all agree really represent
, the foundation of a new order of things
in the world and new era of peace for
humanity. The secondary problems, he
will say, certainly can be adjusted easily
and better through good will and friend
ly discussion than by force of arms.
II is understood that the next papaI
note virtually will embody the views ex-
pressed by Cardinal Gasparri, papal Sec
rotary of state, to the Associated Press
Saturday in commenting upon the situa-
ton after the publication of the reply of
the central powers to the pope's note.
President Wilson's proposal to reduce
ornaments and impose international ar
bitration by force through society of
nations is dream" said Cardinal Gas
parri. can international army to en-
force the verdicts of the court of arbi-
tration? In which country would it be
located without being influenced by local
politics and prejudices? The moon is the
only place possible.
IAN the other inconvenience and OBJ
ections could be avoided by suppress
ing CONSUMPTION with the proviso that
it could not be re-established without
law approved by the people, which in /
normal conditions would be improbable,
indeed, morally impossiblei To this
some would object that certain govern
ments first would declare war and then
present bill of parliament for the adop
ton of CONSUMPTION and the formation
Of large standing army which Parlia
ment would pass from patriotic motives.
All this would be possible but it would
be difficult, as such government first
would have to violate treaty signed in
conjunction with all civilized nations.
Then it would not always be possible to
induce Parliament to vote large military
appropriations

Welcome, Thin Line of Gray!

In the stress and storm of that bloody
conflict of a half-century ago WASH
ington remained an impregnable fortress
to the assault of the Confederate foe.
But she capitulates at last. Today she
capitulates with open gates and open
arms knowing neither gray nor blue so
far as her hospitality is concerned. and,
under the inspiration of a truly reunited
nation, knowing neither South nor North,
but only America
The true aristocracy of Dixie~is come
to US. The remnants of the glorious gray
line that fought with Lee and Jackson,
Longstreet and Beauregard. are march,
ing upon US, heads erect, step firm, their
pride as unconquerable as ever. They
march under that flag which once they
spilled their blood to cast out from the
treasured land below Mason and Dixon's
line. They march under the stars and
Stripes.
The nation now shares in the pride of
the South in the brilliancy and galnntry
with which the Confederate cause was
defended; it regards 1t as a legitimate
and glorious part of the American ira
dition. These gray veterans that are now
among US do not belong to the South;
they belong to the nation. They are ours
no less than those dauntless sons of
the Grand Army who marched UP Penn
sylvania avenue two years ago.
The travail and the tragedy of IS is
behind the nation. a chapter dead and
buried. The coming of the United Con-
federate Veterans to the Capital SYM
bolizes the fact that the eye of America
Is turned toward the golden future in
this fateful hour OF world history; that
our days Of provincial discord are Just
as surely closed as are our days of
provincial isolation: that Americans are
both big enough and strong enough to
forego petty internal friction in facing
the great tasks that lie ahead of us.
Welcome. thrice welcome, sons Of the
Confederacy! May you clasp hands with
many an ancient foe during your stay
here, and may you feel that Washington
Is home" today and all the DAYS that
yoI remain among US.
