EMBARGO, CAUSE
OF COMPLAINT IN
SCANDINAVIA And
HOLLAND, REPORT
Situation May Have An Important
Bearing on War; British Ac-

Persistent Rumor That Germany May

SHIPMENT STOPPED ON ALL
ARTICLES TO THESE COUNTRIES
(By United Press)

(By UulLeu 1reSS)
Washington, Oct. 3.-That i'm
portant developments are pending af-
fecting Scandinavia and Holland is
the strong conviction in official cir
cles here. The increasing tightness
of the embargo on Scandinavia and
Holland is rapidly creating situa-
tion which may have an important
bearing on the war.
Complaint against the American
embargo is growing louder. This
with the British stopping shipment
hn all articles to Scandinavia and
Holland is expected to bring crisis.
There is persistent rumor that
Germany may seize Holland. The
chance is that pro-German royalty
may lead that nation into war on
the side of the Central powers. Nor
way may follow.

RUNORED Il. S. CERTAIN
TO REJECT POPE'S PLAN

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27-That the tn'-
ted States will reject the peace proposals
of His Holiness. Pope Benedict, because
they have failed to take into consideration
the necessity for the overthrow OF Germany
autoCracy was considered certain today.
simultaneously with the intimation that
the reply to the Pope would 20 forward
this week, the state Department made pub
lice the text Of cablegram OF greeting
sent by the President To the Great 'ouhclI
OF the Russian People now in session III
Moecow. This greeting. sent in hehalt OF
the American people. expressed the bcIel
of the President thst a free Russia VIII
triumph against all enemies within ana
without" and pledged the United states
again as ready to give every material ana
moral assistance" to the Russian Govern
ment in the promotion OF the common
cause to which the two nations are uH-
sclflshly united
Officials declared that they considered inc
Presidents message to Russia at the pres
ent time most significant. While both the
state Department and the White House de-
clined TO make any statement regarding
when the note to the Pope will be completed'
it was strongly intimated that 1t already has
been completed by the President ana that
it will go forward this week.
In connection with the general belief that
the reply of the President to the Pope will
be Il rejection Of the peace plan. coupled
with a concrete expression of the ideals Tor
which the United States is fighting, so that
His Holiness, if he sees tlt, can continue
negotiations to end the war, the state De-
partment today affirmed the sentiments eN-
pressed by Sir Robert Cecil in London
1t was stated that all Of the information
in the possession of the United states
strongly proved that it had been the war
plan Of Germany to overcome France then
Great Britain and then the United States
Secretary Lansing stated that there was
plenty of evidence. in the possession OF the
United States to show this fact.
Following the making public of the Presi-
dents note to Russia. many officials ex-
pressed the belief that the Presidents mes
sage to the Pope would be stronger than mad
been at first expected. 1t said that IL
very probably would enter into the over
running Of all small nations and bitterly
assail the German military autocracy as
caste wose promises and pledges could not
be accepted by any nation" Just when the
note will go forward is not known. 1t may
already have gone. Some officials profess
to be certain that this is the case. But no
authorized announcement to this effect is
obtainable.
The note will go to the Vatican through
the British foreign office. in exactly the
same channel in which the Pope's message
was transmitted to the United States, and
no intmation of its contents will be al
lowed to be made public until the Pope
has had opportunity TO read it.

culties confronting us For instance our

THE public may be getting tired OF see
ing that mass of steel on the southwest
plaza of the city Hail. We have been ready
to put the steel into place for several
months but we cannot get enough steel
to complete the connections with the work
under South Broad street and under the
city Hall II we should attempt partial

would result In the destruction OF part
