Herr Cardinal Your Eminence has been good enough. together with your letter of Aug, ?, to transmit to the Kaiser and King my most gracious master, the note of his Holiness the Pope, in which his Holiness, filled with war, makes an emphatic peace appeal to the heads of the bellgerent people. The kaiser-king has dejgned to &C., quaint me with your Eminence's let ter and to intrust the reply to me.
 His Majesty has been following for a considerable time with high respect and sincere gratitude His Holinesss s efforts, in a spirit of true impartiality. to alleviate as far as possible the sufferings of the war and to hasten the end of hostilities. The Kaiser sees in the latest step of His Holiness fresh proof of his noble and humane feel ings, and cherishes a lively desire that, for the benefit of the entire world. the Papal appeal may meet with suc- cess.
 'The effort of Pope Benedict is to pave the way to an understanding amongst all peoples and might more surely reckon on a sympathetic re- ception and the whole hearted support from His Majecty, seeing that the Kaiser, sin"c taking over the govern ment, has regarded it as his prin cipal and most sacred task to preserve the blessings of peace for the German peo- pie and the world. Tn his speech from the throne at the opening of the Ger man Relchstag on June 25. 1888, the Kaiser promised that his love of the German army and his position to- ward 1t should never lead him into

temptation to cut short the benefits of peace unless war were O. necessity, forced upon us by an attack on the empire or its allies. The German army should safeguard peace for us and should peace, nevertheless be broken, it would be in a position to win it with honor The Kaiser has, by his acts, fulfilled the promise he then made in 26 years of happy rule, despite provocations and temptations.
 "ln the crisis which led to the present world conf1agration His Ma jesty's efforts were, up to the last moment, directed towards settling the conflict by peaceful means. After the war had broken out against his wish and desire, the Kaiser, in conjunction with his high allies, was the first solemnly to declare his readiness to enter into peace negotiations. The German people supported His Ma 5esty In his keen desire for peace.
 "Germany sought within her na- tlonal frontier the free development or her spiritual and material pos sessions, and outside the imperial territory unhindered competition with nations enjoying equal rights and equal esteem. The free play of forces in the world in peaceable wrestling With one another would lead to the highest perfecting of the noblest human possessions. Disastrous con- 'catenation of, events in the year 1914 absolutely broke off all hopeful course of development and transformed Europe into a bloody battle arena
 Approaching the importance of His Holiness declaration the imperial government has not failed to submit the suggestions contained therein to earnest and scrupulous examination.

 partment.

Announcement was made today by the board of fire commissioners that Captain Eugene F. Barnes of the Gen. had been selected to attend a college for f1remen conducted by the New York fire department
 The course at the college is one of about eight or nine weeks and prac- tfcal as well as theoretical drilling is given the students. Captain Barnes will be assigned to one of the fire sta- tions and will respond to alarms when not engaged In lecture work in the classroom.
 For the past two months the com missioners have been discussing the matter quietly and recently received word from New York that one man from New Britain could be accommo- dated. Captain Barnes will take the course at no expense to the city and it is expected the local department will be benefited as he can teach oth- CTS what he learns in New York. The college is attended by firemen from all over the country and the latest meth ods of fighting fires as well as other relative subjects are studied. One of the features of the course is fire pre- vention, which is even more import ant than fire fighting.
 Captain Barnes is one of the veter- ans of the New Britain department and his selection meets with general approval He will leave early next week fer his new studies.

IS ANOTHER PARADE
 WANTED BY PEOPLE?
Many Criticize Thursdays Celebration One Mother Protests it is Ad-
 ding More Sorrow.

There seems to be some doubt in the mind of Mayor G. A. Quigley and other prominent officials as to whether it is advisable for the city to give the departing soldiers another celebration when the next contingent leaves. AL ready there has come to the atten- ton of the mayor considerable criti' cism of such a plan and at least one broken hearted mother, who saw her boy march away on Thursday. has penned him a pitiful plea that other mothers be spared this final heartache.
 It is said by many that the idea of being marched through the city streets, attired in their old clothes, while g. crowd of curious people stare at them does not appeal to the men them selves Others who have already seen their loved ones go argue that tho parting is doubly hard on account of this ppublic leavetalling. The blowing of the factory whistles and the sound- ing the church bells also adds to the burdens of those whose hearts are al ready overtlowing. it is said.
 The mayor is undecided what is the best course to pursue. If the puDnc feels that it. wants another such denl- onstration stirring, yet pathetic though it is arrangements will De made If the concensus is that 1t IS better to let the boys depart without, such a public effusion that plan will be adopted.

AUTO THIEVES NEST
 FOUND IN DANBURY
Two Cars and Many Separate Plants Uncovered by
 Police.

Danbury, Sept. 22.-While search ing near Hawleyville last night for some cattle stolen from a farm on the outskirts of this city, Police Captain Bradley discovered what apparently was the camp of a band of autom o bile thieves who had also been stealing cattle, poultry and probably farm pro- duce in large quantities, using stolen autom obiles to carry away the booty. The methods they used in cattle steal ing were strictly up to date, for in 8 raid on the stock barns of Albert Me- Kay, near here, Thursday night they loaded two calves into a touring car and carried them away. The calves were found at the camp in Hawley- vile, where the thieves occupied an abandoned farmhouse.
 Two men who were in the house as the Police approached, fled into the woods and escaped. One was recog- nized as Max Kranz, a chauffeur, re- leased recently from Elmira reforna- tory where he was serving term for autom obile stealing in New York state. An automobile found near the camp has been identified by Frank Kane, of Long Hill, near Bridgeport. as car stolen from his garage last month. Another car, bearing the Connecticut marker 53,O63, was taken possession of by the police. Parts of automobiles found about the place in dicated that the thieves had disman- tied other cars.

SnOIIl0 Have Gone 10 camp DCVcnS

 Subdued only after a strenuous struggle with Detective Andrew J. Richardson, Joseph Jelleski, who was to have left Thursday with the 200 Army but who deserted at the last moment, was arrested at the Corbin Screw corporation this noon and is now lodged behind the bars at police headquarters. It is not thought he will be arraigned in court on a charge of violating the selective act but will probably be sent to Camp Devens on Monday morning under a police or military guard.
 Members of the first exemption board and the detective bureau at police headquarters learned yesterday that Jelleski had been employed at the Corbin Screw corporation and that there was weeks pay due him there. Accordingly pr. T. B. Reeks, secre- tary of the board. and Detective Richardson went to the factory this noon. Dr. Reeks pointed Jelleski as he stood in line to get his money and he was immediately placed under ar- rest.
 Although Jelleski made wild break for liberty and fought vigorous ly against arrest, he was finally subdued and handcuffed and taken to headquarters

Acting Mayor and Police Chief Take Stand Against Sedition
MAY CALL HOME GUARD
No Indication Given of Methods to Be Pursued to Prevent Meeting But Week From Tomorrow.

Hartford, Sept, 22.-There will be no more meetings under the auspices of the Peoples Council of America for Democracy and Peace in this city. unless the power of the executive and police authorities of the city are over- riddkn. After conference with Chief of Itlice J. Farrell this morning, acting Mayor Walter s. Schutz made announcement that he had informed the chief that the city authorities were opposed to the holding of any more meetings, such as was held last Sunday. The acting mayor said fur ther that the chief had instructions to notify Alfred E. Whitehead, and William c. O'Brien, the promoters of the meeting that such a meeting must not be held.
 Neither the acting mayor or the chief cared to give any details as to the methods which would be followed in preventing another meeting, but both made it clear that they felt they held the cards in their hands to stop any gathering which they choose to regard as planned to embarrass the government in carrying out it's plans to win the war. That the police force is strong enough to prevent, by a olSpldy oI 1ol Se IL IhSSCSodly, oAy uL- . patriotic assemblage, was indicated as the belief of the acting mayor.
 May Call Home Guard.
 That if necessary the Home Guard might be summoned to support the police, was one of the hints given out, but this did not come from the po- lice department. The powers of the mayor under the ordinance are re- garded as ample and explicit.
 Since the failure of the city police court to inflict any penalty upon the prominent figures in last Sundays meeting, and the announcement by the U. S. District Attorney Spellacy that there was no federal statute under which the agitators could be prosecuted, Alfred B. Whitehead, chairman of the mass meeting, and William c. O'Brien, chairman of the Hartford branch of the organization, have talked about holding another meeting when plans were completed. the tentative date being one week from Sunday in the same hall where the meeting was held last Sunday. Whitehead announced that an effort would be made to secure Prof. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Dana of Co., lumbia university to address the meeting.

Special measures, which the goverrl- ment has taken in closest contact with representatives of the German people, for discussing and arguing the ques- tions raised prove how earnestly it desires, in accordance with His Holi- ness desires, and the peace resolution of the Reichstag on July 19, to find a practical basis for a just and lasting peace.
 "The imperial government greets with special sympathy the leading idea of the peace appeal wherein His }lol- ness clearly expresses the conviction that in the future the material pow CT of arms must be superseded by the moral power of right. We are also convinced that the sick body of human society can only be healed by fortl- flying it's moral strength of right. From this would follow, according to His Holiness view, the simultaneous dl- intuition of the armed forces of all states and the institution of obligatory arbitration for international disputes.
 eve share His Holiness view that definite rules and a certain safeguard for a simultaneous and reciprocal lm- itation or ornaments on land on sea and in the air, as well as for the true freedom of the community and high seas, are the things, in treating which the new spirit that in the future should prevail in international re1a- tions--should find first hopeful ex- pression The task would then of It. self arise to decide international diff ferences of opinion not by the use of armed forces, but by peaceful meth ods, especially by arbitration, whose
