Cardinal Gasparri, tho Papal Secretary
of State, today made tho following state
ment: "The first two points In tho pontifical
ippeal for peace, treating, respectively, of
disarmament and freedom of tho seas, were

they enjoyed when President Wilson pro
claimed them at tho Capitol.
The third nnd fourth points, wherein
mutual condonation of war expenses and
damages, as well as mutual restitution of
occupied territories, was proposed, were
formulated from pulillc upeeehe recently
0llrerel by statesmen nf the different lie

by their respective parliaments.
'Therefore, tho same statesmen cannot

"Finally, the Holy Father said nothing

President Wilson's views on armaments

gasparri refers, were expressed in an au
iresa to the Senate on January 22 last.
Tho President said:
"So far as practicable, moreover, every

netall dealers In hard coal are "sitting
tight" until further word Is received from
Washington and regulations which the Gov
ernment may have In mind for the retail
dealers are mado known to them, such as
were made known today to the anthracite
coal operators. Until then the public will not
know whether to expect higher prices for
coal this winter or not.
President Wilson's proclamation, fixing
the prices of nnthraclte coal at the mines,
under date ot yesterday, and to go Into
effect September 1, gives no Indication onx
its face that there will be any coal to be
had this winter more cheaply than th
present prices. Cut nn element, of un.
certainty exists In the Intimation which was
given recently by ex-Governor Fort, of New
Jersey, a member of tho Federal trade com.
mission, that tho Government will set a
maximum profit of Jl a ton for the retail
dealers.
TO ADD FREIGHT CHARGCS
Today the coal administration, headed by
Dr. Harry A. Garfield, president of William
College, decided that the freight charges on
coal from the mines to the yard shall b
added to the final price fixed for the con
sumer.
The prices fixed by President Wilson yes.
terday apply to the mines owned by rati.
road-, and since eight roads control ap.
proximately 85 per cent of the State's an.
thraclte output, they apply to virtually all
th hlir nrndlieurs in Pennqvlvnnln. Th
