Rome, Aug. 15.-Peace proposals
made by Pope Benedict have been de.
livered to all the belligarent govern
ments.
The Pope suggests restoration OF
Belgium, Serbia and Rumania, and
peaceful solution of the problems of
Alsace-Lorraine, Trent, Trieste and
Poland, according to reports received
from Vatican sources.
The Pope's peace appeal proposes
that there be no annexations and no
indemnities except in special cases,
such as Belgium and Serbia; the re-
turn to Germany of her colonies in ex-
change for the occupied departments
of France; freedom of the seas; dis
armament, and the formation of Su-
preme Court of Arbitration for the set
tlement of future international dis
putes.
Washington, Aug. 15.-An unofficial
outline of Pope Benedict's peace pro-
posals received here discloses that the
pontiff includes some of the princi-
pies of world peace for which Presi-
dent Wilson has declared.
Among the Pope's proposals are re-
duction of ornaments, freedom of the
seas and that there shall be no retail
atory struggle after the war for world
commercial supremacy. These are re-
garded as the foundation stones of the
Pope's plan.
In eloquent language the pontiff de-
scribes the terrible condition existing
in Europe, which he declares is head
ed for destruction unless the bellig-
erents are willing to listen to the ap-
peals of disinterested friends to cease
o suicidal war. Such conditions, the
pope feels, amply justify him in TAX
ing the present opportunity to suggest
what may be, he hopes, at least a
foundation upon which peace negotia-
tions may be initiated.
At best Pope Benedict's proposals
are only suggested as rough basis
for such negotiations and he realizes
that the details in all their complexity
must be worked out patiently and in
a spirit of conciliation by the bellig-
erents themselves.
Unqualified approval of President
Wilson's plan for the avoidance of fu-
ture wars by some form of interna
tional organizations which shall have
behind it the necessary power to en-
force it's Judgments, is given by Pope
Benedict, who declares that along
with such a splendid project must go
an effective arrangement for reduc-
ton OF ornaments to a point just suf-
ficient for defensive purposes or to
carry out the mandates of the world
court.
1t is inconceivable. the pope holds.
that any permanent peace can be
maintained unless the various peo-
pies are willing to gather in an amity
founded upon a recognition Of ma
tional rights.

Conditions in Schools

West Fairview, Pa, March 81. -
Taxpayers of the borough at a mass
meeting in the Good viii frehouse last
night decided to erect a new four-room
building to relieve congested conditions
in the present building and to even
tually erect a larger building to ac-

four-room structure and to secure a
location. This committee is composed

are George Keefer, president: A.

1000 CITIZENS PLEDGE LOYALTY
TO GOVERNMENT AT CARLISLE
Monster Patriotic Meeting Held in First Presbyterian Church.
Where Similar Action Was Taken by Colonists in 174

Carlisle, Pa, March 81. - Pledging
their answering loyalty to the gov
ernment in the present crisis and Of
fering their services in any way which
the Public Safety Committee may di-
rect, 1000 Cumberland county citi-
zens participated in a monster patri-
otic celebration held here last even
ing. A committee of sixty men has
been appointed to cooperate with the
State body.
History repeated itself tonight, the
main gathering being held in the
First Presbyterian Church where, in
1774, action was taken by the colon
lists to throw off the yoke of England,
probably the earliest action of its kind
in the country. On July IL, 1774, a
meeting was held in this ediflce, pre-
sided over by Colonel James Mont
gomery, to take action against Eng
fish oppression. James Wilson, a sign
er of the Declaration of independence
whose vote swayed the Pennsylvania
delegation, was the principal speaker.
The old resolutions adopted at that
time were read at the meeting last
evening by the Rev. A. N. Hagerty,
pastor of the church, and q new one
adopted, unanimously pledging the
support of the citizens of the county
to the national government and CO.

Mineralogist Gives VeIie
Rough Usage in Work

A mineralogist is person who
knows all about the formation of the
earth and those elements which en-
ter into its makeup. He can tell you
just how many millions of years it has
taken to reduce boulder to a pebble,
and just why gold is not found in the
rocks in our back yard.
In California, where minerals of all
kinds abound for the entire six hun
dred miles of its length, and from the
mountain peaks to the ocean shore,
the State mineralogist is a busy man
as he is constantly on the road dag
nosing newly discovered conditions
and determining the value of a
Strike" whether 1t may be on the
mountain top or within the arid plains
of the desert.
/. E. Aubury, E. M, mineralogist of
the Sunset State, says: "The Velie Six
is the most serviceable car for my use
that 1T is possible to build. NotWith-
standing the rough usage to which my
car has been subjected, it is prac-
ucally as good as new even after thou
sands of miles of travel. It's appear
ance speaks for ITSELF
When one stops to compare the
trials of ordinary daily use with the
demands of a mineralogist it would
seem Velie should last for years in
the hands of the average owner.

99.3 Per Cent. Dealers
Recognized Cadillac

To determine the extent to which
motor car dealers could distinguish
different makes of cars, a test was re-
Gently made by Leslie's Weekly in it's
motor review. Ninety nine and three
tenths per scent. of the total number
of dealers BOILED, named the Cadillac
correctly from pictures of it and 80
other cars.
Pictures of 40 cars were selected
and printed. Distinguishing marks not
directly associated with the design of
the car were carefully elimjnated and
the pictures thus printed. The motor
review is sent exclusively to automo-
bile dealers, and they were invited to
name as many of the 40 cars as they
knew.
Results varied as concerned each
individual car, but the Cadillac Eight
was correctly named by 99.3 per cent
of all those who replied. I'VE feel that
this unusually high percentage is not
only tribute of distinction to the car
itself, but indicates that the average
dealer is familiar with all 'cars-his
competitors line as well as his own"
says a letter from the Weekly to the
Cadillac Motor Car Company.
