POPE IS OPPOSED TO
BOMBING Of CITIES

Rome. Saturday, Mar. lex
PLANTATION was given today at the Of
fice of the papal secretary OF state
of the report that Pope Benedict was
attempting to induce the belliger-
ents to cease their air raid upon
open cities.
Monsignor Cerretti. assistant pa
pal secretary Of state said:
"The holy father has frequently
condemned such acts by whonso-
ever committed, having at various
times paved the way to Joint
agreement on this subject, but both
belligerents have so far been unable
to discover means for limiting bonn
bardments to war. zones. On one
hand the Austro-G Germans have
claimed that air raids were of di-
rect military value in that they low
cred the morale in cities which we're
attacked. On the other hand, the
entente allies insist on reprisals. also
attacking military factories and
warehouses near open cities"

There Ia every Indication that the
recent German peace feelers soon
will assume tangible form. including
not only complete restoration and
reparation for Belgium and France.
but compromise on the disposition
OF Alsace and Lorraine. besides an
adroit offer TO assume liability for
the big French loans to Russia.

cd. provided Germany Is given a

footed HIMSELF INTO ARMY
Young Chicago Stenographer's Devo-
tion to Clarinet Landed Him
at Camp Logan.

We've got a new boy in our office,
all on account of the old one having
actually footed himself into Uncle
Sans service" says Charles E.
Baumgart of Chicago.
Long before any draft was made
we had a boy stenographer and type
writer named Melville f. Bremen, and
we also sent him out to dress up show
windows with our cards and goods.
"One day he came down to the office
with a queer looking package. When
he uncovered 1t it was found to be a
secondhand clarinet, and almost be-
fore we knew how he was spending his
spare time he was giving us something
that sounded like cross between
America and Marching Through
Georgia. However, the boy had plen-
ty Of persistence and he stuck to his
clarinet despite the fact that his folks
threatened to chase him up in the attic
of his home. He'd bring the thing down
ITO the office now and then and let out
blast that caused general consterna-
tion.
However, Melville managed to at
tract the attention of the bandmaster
OF the Second Illinois infantry, and
one day he came into the office with
the broadcast Irish smile you ever saw
in your life. He had enlisted as a
member of the reglmental band. Now
he is Private M. r. Brannen and is
footing his own horn down at Camp
Logan, Houston, Tex. Besides that
he's doing clerical work In the adju-
tant's tent, and no one knows what
he'll be doing next.

BEAUTY is NOT LONELINESS
Women May Possess Both ouaifics-
tions, but a Combination Is
Rarely to Be Found.

Beauty" at least as distinct from
LONELINESS" is a big word, writes Mar
! garet Steele Anderson in Louisville
Post. 1t has certain splendor, it has
certain amplitude. You use it for
the great things Of the world for the
Parthenon and the lost chryselephan-
tine five of Jove and of Athene; for
the epics Of Homer and Milton as for
Troy and the first host of Lucifer; for
the music of Bach and Beethoven;
for the face of Helen and the body of
Brunhilda or Of Siegfried.
But '1oveliness" is a very different
word-a smaller word and slighter,
word more delicate, more tender. 1t
applies to the more human things.
Helen is not lovely, she is beautiful
but, with rare exceptions, the women
Of Shakespeare have certain appeal
ing loneliness. Juliet is lovely, for all
her strength and courage; the lowell
ness Of Rosalind is piquant and that
of BeatriX also; Miranda's is wild
md timid loneliness, that of BESIDE
mona is most tender, that of Ophelia
most tragical and touching. POrtia,
too, is lovely and Olivia-though these
two, we admit, do barely escape being
beauties; Viola, like Celia, has sort
Of dainty loveliness, while Cordelia,
Lear's daughter Cordelia, is as lovely
