Pope's View Supported
By Cardinals Letters
Epistles Written Half Century
Ago Oppose Union of All
Christian Churches

ROME, Aug. 10 (By The Associated
Press ).-"Acta Apostolicac Bis" the
official organ Of the Holy See, in to-
days edition contains two epistles by
Cardinal Patrizi, vicar general of Pope
Pius TX. written, respectively, in 1864
and 1863, setting forth the declarations
of the Catholic Church on the proposal
at that time from the Anglican Church
inviting a discussion of the union of
all Christian churches
The epistles explain that the Catholic
Church, being the original church. can
OF discuss a union with other churches
but that those which left her must re
turn to her. Cardinal Patrizi's declara-
tions are substantially the same as the
explanation given by the present pom
tiff to commission Of American
Protestant bishops. headed by the
Right Rev. Boyd Vincent, Bishop
Of Southern Ohio; the Right Rev.
Charles =. Anderson, Bishop of Chi
cago, and Bishop Reginald II. Weller.
of the diocese Of Fond du-Lac, Wis.
when the bishops invited the Pope to
send delegates to a world conference
of churches for discussion Of "ques-
tions touching faith and order"
Pope Benedict then declared he
could not permit representatives of the
Catholic Church to sit in conference
with other Christian bodies He said
he believed in unity of the Church. but
that dissenters from the faith must
first return to their mother faith,

LONDON, Aug. 1O.-A dispatch from
Rawalpindi, British India says a
peace treaty has been signed between
Afghanstan and Great Britain While
the men at the head of the rising are
not to be punished for the moment the
Afghans are to be given six months
to show their sincerity toward Britain
The only penalty clauses of the treaty
are the withdrawal of the Amirs sub
sidy and retraction of the privilege of
importing arms and munitions from
India. The ceremony of signing the
treaty was without incident
Sir Hamilton Grant. head Of the
British delegation said the treaty
would put an end to a wanton and un-
profitable war, preventing further
bloodshed. He warned against renewal
of petty intrigues, and in conclusion
congratulated the Afghan delegates on
their courteous attitude.
Ali Ahmed. the chief Afghan dele
gate, declared Afghan friendship was
as essential to Great Britain as
Britain's friendship was to the Afghans.

Major Seaman Calls Upon SEN

ProuiSi0n in Peace Treaty

Major Louis Livingston Seaman, pres

America, made public yesterday copies
of the letter which he will send to- day
to members of the United States SEN
ate urging rejection of the Shantung
clause of the peace treaty.
Major Seaman asserts Japan is seek
ing TO exact eXorbitant pay for an
Insignificant part in the war; that China
actually performed more service for
The Allies than Japan, and, finally, that
Jnpans promise of withdrawal from
Shantung means nothing material.
Japan, he declares, may withdraw her
troops, but intends to hold the i'm
mensely valuable coal and iron deposits
OF the peninsula
"Inless something done to dis
sociatc our name from the proposed
Shantung settlement ne adds, "the
Chinese people, for generations TO
come, Will regard America and Amer
leans with suspicion and contempt
Major Seaman, in his appeal, takes
occasion also to voice objection to Ar
ticle X of the proposed covenant of
the league OF nations. saying. IN part
"The Japanese assert their country
is overcrowded and they require more
room for their increasing population.
Is this legitimate reason that the
100000, 600 Chinese should be crowded
out Of the land in which they have
lived for 5000 years? Is China to be-
come a second Honolulu, where 60 per
cent of the population is Japanese?
David Jayne Hill, our former AM
bassador to Germany, in The North
American Review says the Senate can
ratify the treaty of peace and at the
same time can reject a compact for
the League Of nations. We hope the
Senate will exercise its constitutional
right and defeat the creation of any
league which is founded on such mon
strous injustice to land which SO

arlev With China
Over Shanlung Is
Begun, Says Toxic
Japan Is Declared Ready 10
Return District as Soon
as Dual Agreement Is
Signed by Her Ncighbor

TOXIC, Aug. 10 (By The Associated
Press) )-The Japanese Minister to
China already has opened negotiations
with China in regard to Shantung, ac-
cording to the newspaper Jill Shimpo" :"
The pape.' says Japan is ready to make
restitution OF Shantung as soon as
China is prepared to fulfil the terms
OF the dual agreement concerning the
province, and that Japan will withdraw
her troops and divide TsingTao into
three settlements, Japanese, Chinese
and international.
The newspapers generally are giving
calm editorial treatment to the vari-
Gus phases of the debate in the United
States Senate on the Shantung ques-
ton The opinion most widely ad-
vanced is that the Republican Senators
who are opposing the Shantung pro
vision of the peace treaty are using
their arguments against Japan mostly
for political purposes and with the idea
OF discrediting President Wilson.
The newspapers declare that, no
matter what action the Senate may take
in the premises, it cannot affect Japan s
interests as acquired under the treaty,
which will be ratified by the other
powers. The Yorodzu Chohu" cx-
presses the fear that the Excessive
anti -Japanesc allegations" will affect
adversely the good relations between
Japan and the United States, but says
it considers the attitude of the Repub-
licans as an attempt to promote party
interests"
After stating that it is Japan's in
tention to restore Shantung to China,
to conduct economic undertakings in
Shantung jointly with the Chinese,
The Hochi Shimbun" interprets the
attitude of the Republican Senators as
being based on Americas desire to
achieve world economic conquest, in
Guiding China, from which she desires
TO oust Japan economically.

BERLIN, Aug. 10 (By The Associated

German Ambassador to Austria Hun
gary, has made public another chapter
OF the attempts at peace making while
hostlltles were in progress.
This concerns an alleged conferences
between General Jan Christiaan SHUTS
on behalf Of David Lloyd George. the
British Prime Minister. and Count
Mensdorff, former Austrian Ambassa-
dor to Great Britain, for Count Ger
mn, the former Austro- Hungarian
Foreign Minister.
Czernin, says Count Wedel, had
great confidence in McnsdorT because
Mcnsdorlf was popular in London.
Czernln regretted that Mensdorff tried
20 prevent the war, but he gave the
former ambassador explicit instruc-
uons TO ask Immediately whether a
general peace was possible, and
whether peace for Germany was possi-
BILE
insisted on Germany Entering
In case the answer is yes" Count
Wedel quotes Czernin as saying. "sug-
gest that German representatives be
drawn into the conference. In case
the answer is no further discussion

General SHUTS replied" Won Wedel
asserts, by saying that peace could
not be discussed with Germany. He
admitted THAT he believed the German
army could not be yanquished. but
ne insisted the time had not come for
a parlcy with Germany.'
Count Won Wedel sand he believed
the only time when Great Britain and
France earnestly considered peace was
IN the summer of 1917, when the sink
ing OF vessels by German submarines
alarmed them. They intended to go
to Italy to confer concerning the pos
