Soon — Message Rome, Aug. 22.—The British and Belgian ministers accredited to the Vatican were received separably by Pope Benedict today and inquired as to the meaning of the referenc to the freedom of the seas in the Pope's peace proposal. The Pontiff replied he intended to give to this condition the same meaning as that of Pres- ident Wilson in his message, while leaving ample liberty to the belliger- ents to agree in future discussion as to details. Germany today acknowledged re- ceipt of the peace note, promising to examine it with benevolent interest and care and to give an answer after reaching an agreement with her al- lies.

Nevertheless the need of sending im- mediate physical assistance to Russia has been urged on the government by all the members of the American mis- sion recently returned from Petrograd. 'This has not applied ta the sending of | troops, to which a majority of the mis- sion is opposed, but to sending sup- formed quarters that Count Czernin, Austro--Hungarian foreign minister, will answer the Pope’s peace note in the next few days. The paper de- clares that the note has created a fa: vorable impression in leading circles in Austria-Hungary, Government Recognizes Reichstag. Berlin, via London, Aug: 23.—The liberal press points out & significant feature of Tuesday's session of “the main committee of the Reichstag, Chancellor Michaelis’ statement that “the government would not take final action on the Papal peace note with- out consulting and advising with the committee. This is being received as a pledge that the govennment hence~ forth intends to collaborate with the ‘Reichstag factions in dealing with the chief problems of the nation’s foreign policy and that it would continue to .work in harmony with the committea in the direction of achieving peace of mutual understandipg. Right Will Wih, Says Kuehlmann. Amsterdam, Aug. 23.—“A policy based on might alone and not on right is doomed to failure from the begin- ning,’ 'was the interesting admission smade by Dr. Richard Von Kuehlmann German imperial foreign secretary, in his maiden speech to the main committee of the Reichstag yester- day. The new secretary, according to news from Berlin, dwelt upon the re- sponsibility in assuming office, “when the country is beset by mightiest of enemies without, and grave difficul- ties within.” Dr. Von Kuehlmann laid down the following program, first, the main- tenance of cordial relations with the Allies, and second, with the neutrals, “whose rights and necessary condi- tions of existence we shall be most careful to respect as far as compat- ible with enemy trickery and our own . military needs.” ¥ “To arrest further defection of im- portant neutrals is an important task confronting us,” said Dr. Kuehlmann. ‘“We can only solve it successfully by observing the principle that political might counts but also right and money.” Dr. Von Kuehlmann emphasized *the necessity of studying enemy psy- chology ‘“‘so no soft words should be wasted when the other side holds rigidly aloof. On the other hand no hard words should be uttered when there are indications that the ice 1is breaking on the other side and more conciliatory feelings became mani- fest.” Dr. Von Kuehimann concluded with «an appeal for the trust in the army and navy. .

London, Aug. 23.—In the past three days the Entente al- lies have taken 25,000 prison- ers and since July 31 they have taken 32,500 prisoners said Major Gen. Maurice, chief di- rector of the war intelligence office, in his weekly talk today with the Associated Press. “T am confident,” he added, “that before the end of August we’ will have topped the figure of 40,000 which the Germans claim to have taken in a month on the Russian front, although their total is undoubtedly composed of mere stragglers from the mutinous disorgan- ized Russian units.” Lo e R U S Paris Reports OAbjectives Have Been Attained and French Stand Firm on Line Germans Oaptured Year—British Push On.

British Front in France and Belgi- um, Aug. 23 (by the Associated Press)—Definite success can be re- corded this morning for the latest British' operations east and northeast of Ypres on_ the Belgian front, which Yestérday were surrounded by much uncertainty because of the fierceness of the resistance offered by the enemy. British Advance at Lens, London, Aug. 28.—The British have advanced their lines south west of Lens, the war office announces. An attack east of Langemarck was re- pulsed. British posts near Lombaer- tzyde, Belgium, were raided by the Germans. French Attaiu Objectives. Paris, Aug. 23.—The number of prisoners taken by the French in offensive on the Verdun front has been increased to 7,639, the war of- fice reports. The French last night captured a fortified German position north of Mortmont farm. The French objectives north of Verdun appear to have been attained. If the offensive were continued fresh artillery preparation would /be heces- sary. ' The German counter attacks® ves- terday against positions such as Dead Man's Hill and Hill 344 proved to be costly failures, leaving the, French masters of the points they held before the beginning of the great’ battle of ‘Verdun last year, with the exception of Hill 304, which as yet is in the enemy’s hands. Those who believe in the theory that cannon fire brings on rain al- ways refer to the offensive of the Al- les in support of their contention, as they have frequently been ham- pered by downpours after a day of two of fighting. In the present in- stance, however, their argument has failed. Although the fighting on the Verdun front has never been equalled there has been no rain since Friday. A projectile fired by a French bat- tery struck a depot of gas. It burst, silencing three batteries. German prisoners express admiration of the French fire. “No troops could have through your barrage,” said one. envious artillery Setback. London.—In near.

Secretary Lansing said today he had recelved - unofficial advices to that ef- fect, also that!Germany has refused to let Holland have more coal unless Dutch miners are sent to her mines to get it out. The state department’s information is that Holland has re- plied that if the terms regarding steel are insisted upon, the Dutch ship- yards will be shut down. The allot- ment of coal by Germany io Holland 1s exhausted and Dutch industries are said to be in need of fuel. German pressure on all the BEuro- pean neutrals, late advices say, is in- creasing but it is being manifested mainly against Holland, Denmark and Switzerland, although it is understood that Norway is feeling it more and more. 'SLACKERS FORCED T0 JOIN NATIONAL ARMY First District Board Passes Two Turned Over By Police. A list of the names of ten or a dozen alleged slackers, registrants called on the first dfaft who failed to appear for examination, has been handed to the police by the first dis- trict board for prosecution and al- ready three have been arrested and turned over to the board. This morn- ing the trio were given.a physical ex- amination and two of them who passed were at once accepted as mem- bers of the National Army, any chance of claiming exemption on any grounds having been denied them. The men who passed were Wasil Pienkowski of 12 Lyman street and | Kontavty Krukowski of 24 Orange street. The third alleged slacker, Armiag .Mazarbakian of 40 Overlook, was physically deficlent. More arrests an}; summary action is expected. he first board, which must have the names of 90 men ready to leave on September 5, will announce these men tomorrow. To night the second exemption board will meet to prepare a list of the first 80 men to be sent away with the first quotas on Septem- ber B. Following the action of an exemp- i tion board in the eastern section of the state, members of the second local exemption board are consider- ing the advisability of notifying the | Italian consul.of the names of all reg- istrants on their lists who signed themselves as Italian aliens and sought exemption on these grounds. It is also possible that those of other nationalities may be posted with their respective consuls. It has been re- ported to the board that already some 2,000 Italian aliens have been located in this manner and given their choice of returning to Italy to fight or fight- ing under the Stars and Stripes. In- asmuch as it is sald that pay in the Italian army is but $6 per month, while Uncle Sam pays $30, it may be possible that many of those who previ- ously claimed exemption may waive these claims and take .their chances in the olive drab of America.

Senator LaFollette’s proposals for stil] further higher rates came up .to- day with many senators supporting them. Senators Vardaman and Trammel spoke in favor of the LaFollette sub- stitute and both opposed the bill's consumption taxes and its pre-war basis of taxing excess incomes. “It is the general understanding that I opposed this war,” said Senator Vardaman, ‘“but we're in|it to win. My son has secured a commission, Although I opposed the war I would to God that my circumstances were such that I could go with him.” Those protesting against higher in- comes and profits taxes, Senator Vardaman said, are those who ‘“cap- italize pretended patriotism.” Anthracite Price Fixing Soon. President Wilson gave 'considera- tion today to the problem of naming a coal administrator and the fixing of wholesale and retail bituminous coal prices. Anthracite coal next will be taken up, it is understood, and prices | fixed for that product. A speedy dis- position of the task of formulating ai defipite policy to control the nation’s fuel supply is expected by officials. The trade commission’s steel in- vestigations indicate it will be most impossible to fix a price for steel as was dome with coal. Varying costs in different plants make it impractic- able, it is said, to establish a flat rate. Coal operators throughout the country have been asked by the na- tional coal operations’ association to meet in Pittsburgh ‘Wednesday discuss the situation. It was indicated that the president has under consideration the appoint- ment of an administrator to fix the price of copper as well as one to fix the price of coal. It is not believed, however, that there will be a steel : Harry A. Garfield, president of Williams college who has been under | consideration for coal administration. had an engagement late today with President Wilson.

German Aviators Drop Bombs on Red Cross Hospital Killing and Wound- ing Patients and Nurses. On the French Front, Aug. 23 (by the Associated Press)—The incendiary bombs which were dropped by the two German aviators onto hospitals behind Verdun on Sunday evening killed 10 wounded men, one woman nurse and 19 trained male nurses, They wound- ed 49 male nurses and inflicted fur- ther injuriés on patients suffering from wounds received in battle, many of whom rushed naked into nearby ‘!nelds in an attempt to find shelter from the bombs which were being rained down. 4 Meanwhile the aviators circled about in the air for half an hour firing their machine guns at hospital orderlies who were endeavoring to extinguish the flames. The nurses had just fin- ished bandaging wounded Germans ‘who had been brought diregt from the battlefleld and had gone to bed when the bombs were dropped from a height of only 300 yards. The Red Cross signs were paintéd prominently on the roofs, and the Germans knew of the hospital which had been in ex- istence for more than a year. The correspondent, after inspecting the hospital, visited a camp at which German prisoners are assembled. It contained considerably more than 6,000 officers and men. The corre- spondent was permitted to interrogate a large number of the prisoners, many of whom are 18 or 19 years old. They | declared themselves most contented at being out of the war. On the way other smaller camps, containing hun- dreds of prisoners, were passed. 60,000 HOMELESS IN SALONIKI Property Loss Caused by Fire in Greek City Is Enormous—German Airmen Active While Flames Rage. London, Aug. 23.—The first de- tailed account of the disastrous fire at' Saloniki last Sunday is contained in a Reuter despatch from that city, which says that 60,000 persons are homeless and that property loss is: enormous. Insurance companies are interested to the extent of 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 pounds. The military rendered all possible aid, but the scarcity of water made it almost useless to attempt to sub- due the flames. Refugees are camp- ing on the outskirts of the town. The destitute are being cared for by the intente military authorities, the British having 30,000 in their charge. Food and fresh water are very scarce. The whole sea front from the customs house to the famous white tower, with its fine buildings, including the church of St. Dimitri and several other churches and moques, was de- stroyed. Three enemy airplanes flew over the city and dropped bombs while the fire was burning. London, Aug. 11 the stores at Saloniki of the Serbian relief fund were destroyed in the fire which last Saturday burned half of the com- mercial section of the Greek Mace- donia town, according to a message received here today.
