mention has been made during the
growing season of the beet prospects,

that all the cond ditions for the grow
ing OF the sugar beet were not Of the
most fattering. The growers, with
the possible exception Of Mr.. Junkin,

made no effort more than to plant and
care for the beets, the same as they
would any ordinary crop, whereas the

plan to retain the provision IN th6
Smith-Mitten transit lease Increasing tn
fares to six or even seven cents by abolish
ing the eight-cent exchange tickets imme-
diately is being worked out by the spou&Ssu
Of the proposed agreement.
The Department OF City Transit has en-.
gagged the firm Of Ford, Bacon Il Davis q
analyze the proposed pact between the city
and the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Conn
pany and to report to Councils at the
hearing on the new lease on September I.
The plan to eliminate the eight-cent ex-
change tickets is being advanced as a com.
promise by the sponsors of the Smith h-Mitteu
lease. They have under consideration the
immediate abolition Of the exchange tickets,
provided the company shall not have tn

fares that do not carry the cost Of service

collateral benefits as offsets. The report
on the lease will deal with the situation
Grafton of the method of financing proposed
by former Director Taylor and Endorsed
Overwhelmingly at the polls. Ford. Bacon
& Davis, 1t is said. favor financing the
new system exactly as IL II were a private
undertaking. Mr.. Taylors plan was for
financing in accord with modern practice
and modern theory.
Ford, Bacon & Davis, Il Is reported, are
entirely opposed TO the board of supervis-
ing engineers. as provided for in the Smith
Mitten lease. The plan will not however,
be utterly condemned, but a compromise
may be suggested.
The fight for the abolition of the eight
cent exchange tickets today received the
Endorsement of Rear Admiral BENJAMIN
Tappan, Commandant at the Philadelphia
Navy Yard. In n letter to Charles L.
Fluck, president of the Northwest Business
Mems Association, who two weeks ago
filed petition with the Public Service Com
mission asking that the exchange tickets
be abolished, Admiral Tappan said that 1t
Is for the interests Of the employees at the
navy yard to do away with the extra
charge for riding to and from their work.
"a great many of the employees of this
yard are obliged to come a considerable
distance to their work." said Admiral
Tappan in his letter." and I am of the
opinion that they should not be further
handicapped by the additional expense. It
is for this reason that I am in thorough
sympathy with the men here on the ques-
ton of fares"

POPE STILL HOPEFUL
OF WORLDS PEACE ON
PRESIDENTS TERMS
By JOHN H. HEARLEY
United Press STAFF Correspondent

ROME, sept. l.
Pope Benedict is still hopeful that peace
NAV come. perhaps soon. on President Will
sons own erms-democratization of Ger
many.
An exclusive epitome of the Vatican's
view on the Presidents note as given the
United Press today contained this sgnih-
cant expression of optimism.
The initial disappointment at the Amerl-
can reply has been dissipated in part, the
United Press was informed, by careful
weighing of the Presidents words.
"The Pope now tho note as holding
promise and not as n cold absolute reJec-
tion. either automatically or psychoIogi-
calIy. He is hopeful that President WILL
sons attitude eventunlly-perhaps soon
will cause the creation of q German Chan
celery responsible to the people," said one
of the United Press informants
1t can be stated on the highest authority
that the Pope has been cneered by some
features Of the Presidents note. The Holy
Father believes that the Presidents per-
sistent and insistent distinction drawn be-
tween the German people and the German
Government and what certain Vatican off,
cals call his fixed genius of direction"
is changing the whole philosophy of the
Allied war.
A careful reading of the Presidents note,
coupled with such expressions Of America 8
aims as he made before Congress in Decem-
DER, conVlnceS the vatican that there is
common ground of opinion between the
Vatican and Washington.
The Just Christian peace" which Pope
Benedict proposed in his appeal was re-
garded as entirely harmonious with the
American Presidents policies Those poli-
cies, as the Vatican saw them today were
in the main:
No punitive damages.
No dismemberment of empires
No exclusive economic leagues
No Implied. direct or Indirect restrictions
to the seas.
AS bearing with special significance on
the Pope's reported view that democratic
cation of Germany might yet come about,
officials today recalled the information OF
two days ago that notFany Emperor Carl
or Austria, but Kaiser \ helm himself had
written the Pope, indicating pledge to
the widest characterization.
In Rome diplomatic circles the view Is
expressed that the American note, by its
specinc structures against dismemberment
OF nations has destroyed the probability of
declaration of war against America bv
Austria-Hungary, or at least has post
poned such step for some time

WASHINGTON. Sent

WASHINGTON, Sept. /.
The S11,53S.945.46O bond and certificate
bill was presented to the House this after
noon by Chairman Kitchin, of the Ways
and Means Committee. The bill will be
taken up for general debate when the House
meets next Tuesday.
Accompanying the bill was a report by
Mr. kitchin meeting the criticism Of Re-
publican members of the committee. They
had demanded some knowledge of what
foreign credits have been extended thus far
and how 1t was proposed to divide up the
expenditures contemplated from the dis
posal of the bonds and certificates. The re-
port showed these things clearly and In
detail
Appropriations made and contemplated, the
report showed. add up to the staggering
total of 19005,5S3,10711. However of this
amount 81 1000, 900. 900 is for credits to our
Allies and s3S5 900 must be deducted
for postoffice receipts and the permanent
annual sinking fund appropriation The
actual war expenditures of the country for
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1918, for
these deductions, will amount to more than
S11.620, 900, 900.
The credits agreed upon for foreign gov
ernments, the report states, are divided as
follows:
To Great Britain, s1.oo5. 900 900; to
France, $3.50 900. 900: to Russia, S275,000,-
900; to Italy $500, ,OOO,o 900 to Belgium, $Ss.-
100000: to Serbia. s3.500,000. The loans
already made to nations of the Entente total
Sl73O, 500, 900.
The ktchin report explains that il IL
becomes necessary to issue more bonds be-
fore the end of the war. and these bonds
bear greater rate OF interest than per
cent, the bonds provided for In the bill in
troduced today may be exchanged for the
later bonds bearing greater interest
Credits to the Entente will continue to
be made at the rate of half a billion .
month. the report stated. Four billion dol
lars of the sum to be realized from the
sale of bonds and certificates provided
in the bill will be used for the extension
of this credit.
