By J. w. T. Mason

written for the United Pres.
NEW YORK, Aug. "a.
Pope Benedict's explain
alton and amplification.
thru the United Press to-
day, Of his peace plea, is
the most important move
to end the war that any
neutral power has yet
made, because it indorses,
at least by inference. the
all-important demand of
the allies for restoration.
He also indorsed the
right of all peoples to
govern themselves.
In his original peace
proposal the pope created
the impression that he
was not in favor of any
kind of restoration being
exacted from either set of
belligerents
His holiness now. however. am
plifies his statement in words that
will be given the closest attention
by the statesmen OF the allies:
"it is necessary to remark.
as 10 condonstion OF damages
caused by the war. that there
is an exception applying par
ticulariy TO Belgium"
In other words. the pope inti-
mates that damage inflicted on
Belgium must certainly be made
good. and possibly the damage on
other territory as well. II the pope
Is able to secure endorsement of
his principle by Germany. the end
of the war is in sight. Lloyd
George recently said. When they
have learned TO think and say res
toration. then peace by negotia-
tion will be morally possible"
Takes Lloyd Georges Tip
The pope has seen the signifi-
canoe of the British premier's dec
laration. and now accepts it as the
real basis OF peace. Everything
else in the pope's new statement Is
in Importance to his
apparent acknowledgment that
damages be paid for the outrages
inflicted upon Belgium.
Freedom OF the seas is a matter
OF definitions. and as for democ-
racy. IL cannot be enforced upon
Germany as written term Of
peace. but is already being done so
by the failure of the kaiser's mill
tarists to win the war.
Restoration Is Crus
Restoration is now the crux Of
the peace issue. All other matters
are secondary. IL Pope Benedict
shows his reputed skin as diplo-
mat. he will now proceed to work
thru Catholic Austria and Bavaria
for acceptance by the central pow
ers OF the essential formula. II he
succeeds in doing so. the holy see
will earn the honor and glory Of
having blazed the way for per-
settlement of the war.

British troops, had surrendered.
The chancellor said British, French
and Mohammedan representatives
were on the way to Jersualem to safe

enemy and, passing Jerusalem on
the east, establishing themselves on
the Jerusalem-Jer road. At the
same time, London infantry and dis
mounted yeomanry attacked the strong
enemy positions west and northwest
of Jerusalem and placed themselves
astride the Jrusalem-Shchem road
The holy city, being thus isolated, sur

The Turks have held sway in Jeru-

the Mammelukes.
Apart from its connection with the
campaign being waged against Tur

the fall Of Jersualem marks the def

Real Tobacco a Myth.

Nothing can be bought IN Austria
without a card, which fixes the amount
to which the holder is entitled. Cards
are even necessary to buy matches, and
dried leaves perfumed with nicotine
are sold at fancy prices. Real tobac-
co no longer exists.
Destitution is spreading both in Aus
tria and in Hungary, especially among
women whose work in factories is no
longer needed. Many factories are
closing for lack of raw material as we'll
as for the fact that many industries
are no longer profitable. Thus in Hun
gary thread cannot be supplied to lace
and button workers, and as result 2S,-
900 women are out of work. The same
may be said of the lace industries,
which viii have to stop work altogeth-
er soon.
AS for sanitary conditions in Aus
tria, besides many contagious diseases,
dysentery spread alsrmingly during
summer. 1t was due to exceptional
heat, coupled with the consumption OF
raw vegetables and unripe fruit, which
in most cases constitute the only food
available to people of the lower
classes. Even when patients could be
taken to hospitals and provided with
nourishing food their weakness, due to
denutrition, coulG not be overcome and
few recovered.
At Roclice, in Bohemia, many peas
ants have been sentenced to terms OF
Imprisonment for sealing food. None
served his term, as the prison authorl-
ties could not supply food. The scarcity
of food is so great that people are ad-
vertising in the newspapers offering to
exchange boots or articles of clothing
for a ration of lard or half dozen
eggs. Nc rev clothes can be bought
without certificate that secondhand
clotll::. nas been donated or sold and
a specia. ard is necessary to buy
clothes or underwear. Nothing In
theory is wasted in Austria.
Use Garbage for Pigs.
Even garbage or kitchen refuse is
collected by the authorities, who con-
vert it into fodder for cattle and pigs.
To encourage it's collection household
ers are offered half pound Of pork
for every 20 pounds Of garbage given
to the authorities. Food for cattle is
almost as indispensable as that for hui
man beings. In fact, agriculture is
seriously threatened in Bohemia, where
the cattle have been reduced to only a
million and half head, and owing to
army acquisitions and the scarcity of
fodder a further reduction Of SO per
cent will be necessary.
AS result milk famine VIII be In
evitable next winter, while the cultiva-
ton of land will be almost impossible
next spring owing to the lack OF
draught oxen and manure. Other agri-
cultural regions both in Austria and in
Hungary are similarly menaced, so that
the outlook is dark, and it is feared
that before long not only prisoners of
war will be starved in Austria but the
Inhabitants as well.

FINANCIAL STRENGTH OF
THE UNITED STATES

Two billion dollars is a tremend-
Gus sum Of money. Yet the Ameri-
Ian people have loaned their Gov
arnment that much and have barely
touched their resources. The money
was raised so easily it only seemed
to show the tremendous financial
strength of the country.
1t is not one-tenth of our bank de-
posits. 1t is less than one-eighth Of
our bank loans for one year. 1t was
less than one-half of our national
savings for 1916 and only five per
cent of our national income for that
year according to estimates.
Not only is this first Liberty Loan
Bond issue of two million dollars
much larger than the initial loans of
any Of the other nations engaged in
the war but it was raised in much
less time with much less effort and
was subscribed to by vastly larger
number of individuals; this too
when danger was far from us and the
nation in a calm frame of mind.
The coming second issue of Liberty
Loan Bonds, with the great mass Of
the people of the country much bet
ter educated as to Government bond
issues and Government finances in
general, it is reasonable to suppose,
will be disposed of with even greater
success than the initial issue.
The over-subscription to the initial
issue of over billion dollars augurs
we'll for the success of the next loan.
There are several million more in
vestors in Government bonds in
America than there were a month
ago. Then there were some three
hundred thousand holders of United
States bonds; now there are over
four million. And the thrill of the
thought of our soldiers in France
will rally the people to the nation s
call.
