WILSON'S NOTE TO
POPE PRAISED IN
BRITISH PRESS
Answer to Peace Proposal
President's Most Popular
Act Since War
j * ■ ___
By Associated Press
London, Aug. 30.—Nothing Presi
dent Wilson has said, written or
done since he declared the entrance
Vf the United States into the Strug
s'gle against militarism has called
I forth heartier endorsement by the
'British press than that which is to
iday accorded his reply to the Pope's
peace note.
The directness of the President's
language is hailed as wholesome and
bracing plain speaking, especially by
' newspapers which constantly oppose
pacifist tendencies. These newspa
pers regard the note as a stern re
buke to the "feeble spirits" who see
j in the Pope's proposal an acceptable
I basis for negotiations.
The message also is welcomed as
the attention of the civil
lized world to "the monstrous char
-1 acter of warfare let loose against
mankind by a common enemy" of
which it is contended there has been
I danger of the people's hearts becom
ing hardened.
Can't Take Kaiser's Word
The Daily Mail, in an editorial on
President Wilson's reply to the
-Pope under the caption: "We cannot
take your word—President Wilson's
.message to the Kaiser," says:
"President Wilson's reply to the
: Pope's peace proposal has the spirit
and point of view the world has
J learned during the past six months
to look for in all his utterances on
the war. The United States entered
i the struggle for the purpose of ma
-1 king the world safe for democracy,
and with the conviction that It never
would be safe for democracy so long
as an ambitious, intriguing irre
sponsible government held the Ger
'man people in its grip."
Terrible Judgment
After citing President Wilson's in
dictment of Germany's, rulers, the
Daily Chronicle says:
"This terrible judgment gains its
eloquence from no fine phrasing, but
solely from the fountains of noble
wrath behind it, wrath which the
'head of a Christian church might
honorably covet."
The Morning Post says:
"The President's reply to the
Pope's note reveals a man who has
his eyes fixed on the realities and his
mind resolved unflincHingly on a'
great purpose. * * * With a di
rectness and conciseness which can
not bo too much admired the Presi
dent gives the Pope's peace proposals
the answer those who are ready to
capitulate to Germany should give."

"My daughter, Annie," said P. B.
a well-known citizen re
siding at 52 Southern Avenue, Mt.
Washington. Pittsburgh, in the pres
ence of witnesses, "had been unable
;to walk for three months on account
,of rheumatism.
"The rheumatism followed an at
tack of typhoid fever. It started on
ftlie right side and went to the left
aide, finally settling in my daughter's
i left knee, which became perfectly
fat Iff.
"We did everything possible for
[her. Nothing, however, seemed to
fbring about the right kind of an im
provement. About two or three
I weeks ago we decided to let her try
jthis Tanlac. We didn't know at the
jtime whether the medicine would
t do her any good or not, but we de
cided that it would do her no harm
ito try it. One bottle of Tanlac
her right up, her ap
petite became stronger and she
■could soon eat almost anything and
digest it.
"Her rheumatism shows much im
provement. Her mother was telling
jne last night that Annie's knee is
boosenlng up and that she has great
er freedom of it. The pains are
.disappearing rapidly. We believe
(there is merit in this Tanlac and we

of what It has done, and is now

JAPAN'S MISSION !
GIVEN WELCOME
BY U. S. SENATE
America's Entry Into War De
clared to Be Great Moral
Victory
By Associated Press
Washington. Aug. 30. Japan's
mission, headed by Viscount Ishii, ,
was received to-day by the Senate '
at a ceremony in which Senator j
Saulsbury, President pro tem., wel
comed the visitors ana Viscount Ishii >
made an address bearing a message
of friendship and good will between j
the nations.
In his address Viscount Ishii said,
in part:
"I grasp this occasion to say to you
that the whole people of Japan
heartily welcome and profoundly ap
preciate thi> entrance of this mighty
nation of yours into the struggle
against the insane despoiler of our
civilization. We all know that you
did not undertake this solemn task
on the impulse of the moment; but
tliat you threw your mighty weight
into the struggle only after exercising
a most admirable patience with a
Ilrm determination that this world
shall be made free from the threat
of aggression from that black shadow
of a military despotism wielded by a
nation taught with the mother's milk
that human right must yield to bru.
tal might. To us the fact that you
are now on the side of the Allies in
this titanic struggle constitutes al
ready a great moral victory for our
common cause, which we believe to
be the cause of right and Justice,
for the strong as for the weak, for
the great as for the small,
j "We of Japan believe we under
| stand something of the American
| ideal of life and we pay our most
profound respects to It. Jefferson,
your great democratic President,
conceived the Ideal of an American
commonwealth. Jefferson saw Ameri
cans, not as a set of people huddled
together under the muzzles of ma
chine guns, but he saw them as a
myriad of independent and free men,
as individuals, only relying on a com
bined military force for protection
against aggression from abroad or
treachery lrom within. He saw a
community of people guided by a
community of good thought and pure
patriotism, using their own special
talents in their own special way un
der their own sacred roof trees. Not
a machine-made nation, but a liv
ing, growing organism, animated by
one passion—the passion of liberty."

Second Board Progressing
The activities of the local board
for Division 2, which meets at Pax
tang, was confined to the examining
of fifty young men who were called
to report this morning. This board
has been very busy examining the
men called under the second call
and this morning the work had so
progressed that the board was well
ahead and the examinations were
being speedily carried on. Since the
second call was issued there have been
317 men examined. Out of that num
ber 66 were not exempted or dis
charged; 128 had their claims al
lowed; 98 were rejected; and 31 did
not report or had enlisted. Fifty
more will be examined Friday and
this will complete the second call.
To-morrow a third call for three
hundred men will be Issued and this
number will take in from numbers
568 to 867 inclusive. A complete list
of all those examined bv this board
and the disposal of their individual
claims will soon be made public.
The monotony of the meeting of
the appeal hoard at the Capitol this
morning was somewhat relieved by
the appearance of I. N. Hurd, of
Waynesboro, on the scene. Hurd.
who is a typical specimen of the
sturdy youth who is doing his bit
in the farming districts made his
entrance to the caucus rooms short

sions. \\ Ith his ruddy cheeoks aflame

this statement Hurd produced a copy
from his local board that he had
passed the test and had been certi
fied. He stated that he had been a
resident of tVaynesboro for a num
; her of years. He was a baker by
trade but had done considerable
farming.
ants to Go Now
_ W\en Mr. Free informed him
that he was in the wrong place and
that he would have to wait until his
local board called him and sent him
notice, Hurd showed signs of great
disappointment. Suddenly he smiled
a broad grin and said, "Well, if I
have to wait a couple of weeks I
supose I will have to wait that's
all. 1 would like to go right now. if
I could, but I guess I can go back
and be dough-boy for a little while
longer."
The examining board at Elizabeth
vtlle this morning completed the ex
amination of thirty-one men. Of
this number twenty-four passed and
seven were discharged. Of the num
ber that passed five did not claim
exemption, the remainder making
various claims. After to-day the
Elizabethvllle board will not examine
any more subjects until Tuesday
morning. The work of the board has
become extremely burdensome and
the members have been working un
til midnight and even later in order
to keep things up to the minute. It
was finally deemed advisable to take
a few days to clear up the matter
and by Tuesday It is expected that
everything will be in readiness for
the papers to be filed with the district
board of appeals.
Wednesday the work of the third
board at Elizabeth was confined to
the examining of fifty-seven men

PRESIDENT CUTS
PRICE OF PAPER
FOR U. S. WORK
Recognizes Price Asked by
Manufacturers Is Too
High
By Associated Press
Washington, Aug. 30.—1n an order
which newspaper publishers declare
will serve as an important precedent.
President Wilson has fixed a price of
two and one-half cents for news
print paper for use in publishing the
government's daily official bulletin.
The order fixing the price was is
sued by Secretary Baker at the Pres
ident's direction under the National
Defense Act, which empowers the
government to commandeer supplies
needed for v.ar purposes. It was ii
rected to the International Paper
Company, which has declined to fur
nish newsprint for the bulletin at
less than, three cents a pound.
Newspaper publishers who learn
ed of the order to-day voiced the
hope that it might open the way for
cheaper newsprint to publishers
generally. They called attention to
statements by the President that the
administration's war price policy will
be one that provides the same prices
for the public as for the govern
ment.
Price Too High
The President's action was taken
at the instance of the joint con
gressional committee on printing, of
which Senator Fletcher is chairman.
When the bulletin first began publi
cation the committee offered bids for
newsprint and the cheapest price
named was three cents. This, the
committee decided, was too high and
appealed to the International on pa
triotic grounds, to sell its product to
the public printing offices at two and
one-half cents. The company com
plied and for a time furnished the
paper, but later declared increasing

POLICE QUASH
NEWS OF THEFT
Keep Word Quiet on Assump
tion That it Would Be
Easier to Get Man
News has just leaked out that rob
bery was committed in the heart of
the business district almost a week
ago, and up to this time the police
have no trace or the person or per
sons who committed the theft. The
story has been kept quiet by the
police upon the assumption that it
would be easier to catch the thief If
he didn't know he was wanted.
Some time during Saturday night
or early Sunday morning an entrance
was gained to the shoe store of John
Kelly, at 3 North Third street. The '
thief entered through the transom j
above the door and departed the'
same way. The remarkable part of I
the affair is that No. 3 North Third I
street is just off Market street and Is I
on one of the most widely used !
streets in the city. An officer patrols
that section all night. Since the po- '
lice force has been reduced through \
enlistments in the national army the I
officers are required to cover more
territory than usual, but even so it is j
difficult to understand how a burglar '
could hoist himself over a nine-foot ]
door, drop to the inside of the build- j
production costs compelled It to
raise the price to three cents.
Senator Fletcher went to the Fed
eral Trade Commission for its co3t
of production figures and the com
mittee decided the International
could sell at two and one-half cents
and still make a fair profit. The
situation then was laid before Pres
ident Wilson, who asked Attorney
General Gregory for an opinion as
to how far he could go under the
defense act. The attorney general
said that a supply of paper for the
bulletin was necessary for war pur
poses and recommended that the
paper be taken if two and one-half
cents was a fair price.
