POPE IN GOOD HEALTH.
Shows No Signs of Fatigue at Cere
monies of Name Bay Reception.
By Kxclushc Wire from The Associated Tress.
Home, Aug. 17. The pope is in such
good health that it was not thought
necessary to suspend the Saturday au
diences as has hitherto been the cos
tom, in order to give the pontiff
strength for a fatiguing ceremony, such
as the great Name day reception ot
today. Dr. Lapponi, the pope's physi
cian, insisted, however, upon limiting
the number of guests to 200, Instead o
the unusual COO. The efforts to obtain
Invitations to the Name day reception
were so persistent and enme from such
high quarters that the pontiff, hearing
of them, overruled his physician's ad
vice and had an additional hundred
names added.
The innumerable letters and tele
grams of felicitation received by the
pontiff included telegrams from Emper
or Frances Joseph of Austria and King
Alfonso of Spain, The communication
from the king of Spain was the first
missive sent to his godfather by King
Alfonso since his coronation. The pope
held a reception In his private llbrury.
Ho showed no signs of fatigue and
spoke with almost everyone present.
Ho appeared to bo unusually unlimit
ed and recognized the night Hev, Ben
jamin J. Kelloy, bishop of Savannah,
Ga who was the only American pres
ent, The pope said to Bishop Kelley: "I
urn glad to see you again before you
leave,"
Bishop Kelley told a representative
ot the Associated Press Unit he was
astonished at the pontiff's vitality and
brightness of mind.
Upon re-entering his private apart
ments, the pope said: "it does not
matter what Dr, Lapponi says, J feel
better after each occasion of this kind,"
The reception lasted for one hour,
His holiness talked about the collapse
of tho Campanile of St. Marks at Von
Ice, and expressed a wish to see the
restoration of the roof of the I.uteran
Palace before he died,
Among the telegrams of congratula
tions received by the pontiff was one
of twenty thousand words from the
Catholics of Catania, Sicily, The re
ceipt of this long message caused
amusement; as under tho settlement
with the Italian government all tele
grams for the Vatican are accepted uml
delivered free,
In the course of a conversation the
pope urged the building of a chapel to
be dedicated to the sacred heart.

Berlin, Aug. 17. Baron August Sar
torious von Walterhuuscn. professor tif.
political economy at Strassburg uni
versity, and one of the leading Ger
man authorities on American subjects,
will contribute a striking article to a
forthcoming number of the Zeltschrlft
fur Socialwlssersenft on the United
States of Central Europe. Tho writer
will argue that the Central European
stutes will sooner or later be com
pelled to erect a common tariff barrier
against the alms of the United States
to economic ascendency or against
those of Great Britain, with .greatly
moderated tariffs and perhaps free
trade between themselves.
Baron von Waltershausen believes
that eventually' a complete political
Union between Germany, Austria,
Switzerland, Belgium nnd Holland Is
probable, and that this union will give
these countries an impregnable econo
mic position. The baron will argue
also that great states like tho United
States and Hussia possess recuperative
powers superior to those of the isolated
and small countries of Western Eu
rope. In support of this statement, lie
'Instances the fact that the United
States issued loans at seven per cent,
at the end of tho Civil War and re
funded these loans at two per cent. In

MORTGAGE LOANS
May Be Granted Small Land Holders
Under Government Supervision A
Plan That Has Been Successful in
Turkey An Enterprise That Will
Be of Great Benefit to the Small
Farmers if Put Into Effect.
By Kxclunlve Wire fiom The Associated Press.
New York, Aug. 17. Some data re
garding mortgage loans to small land
holders, under government supervision,
has been forwarded to Judge Henry C.
Ide, secretary of llnnnco in the Philip
pine Islunds, by Charles A. Conant,
who was In the Philippines last sum
mer for the purpose of studying coin
age and banking institutions there. Mr.
Conant says 16 appears that mortgage
loans under government guaranty are
successful, even under the conditions
existing lu Turkey, and that Lord Cro
mer is preparing to extend the system
in Egypt. The national bank of Egypt
has already made loans of about $12,000,
000 of this character, but as It Is a
commercial bank, Is Indisposed to lock
up further capital In this form ot se
curity. A new bank is, therefore, In
process of formation, to engage ex
clusively In small mortgage and agri
cultural loans. The government is to
guarantee dividends of 3 per cent, on
tho capital, and is to employ tho pub
lic tax-gatherers. If necessary, to col
lect the Interest on loans. Mr. Conant
said today:
"I have sent some information on
this subject to the Philippine commis
sion, in the belief that they might find
it useful If they wish to prepare a
similar project for tho Philippines. If
such a plan succeeds In developing tho
agricultural resources of Turkey and
Egypt, and there is sufficient sense o
financial responsibility among, these
people to prevent serious losses, It is
possible that similar benefits could be
obtained in the Philippines. I know
that some means of aiding' the farmers
"Is' a- subject very close to" the heart -of
Governor Taft and Judge Ide. There
Is already a Spanish law In the Philip
pines permitting the creation of mort
gage banks, but Is apparently needs
the support and active Initiative of the
government to put a plan of relief for
the small farmers In practical opera
tion. Governor Taft and his asso
ciates have so many problems before
them thut it will probably be some
time before they will be able to take
this ii p, but It will be greatly for the
benefit of the Filipinos when they are
able to borrow enough to equip them
selves with the best seed and with
modern appliances.
