President in Sympathy With Hu

by Cardinal Gibbons, ' but
Allies Would Resent Move.
BY JOHN C ALLAN O'LAUGHLIN.
WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 2. (Spe
cial.) Cardinal Gibbons, the senior
prince of the Roman Catholic Church
In the United States, today presented
to President Wilson an earnest mes
sage from Pope Benedict suggesting
that he use his good offices with a
view to the restoration of world peace.
The message, which was in writing,
will be made public tomorrow after
noon if by that time authority from
Rome shall be received by the Cardinal.
Three Nations Favor Plan.
Enough has been learned regarding
the contents of the document, however,
to say that Pope Benedict desires the
United States, as the greatest neutral
leader, to move with the allies to ef
fect the termination of the war.
Those who are in a position to know
say the message makes clear the be
lief of His Holiness that he has the
sympathetic support of Austro-Hun-gary
and Italy, which are Catholio
countries, and Germany. They say fur
ther that there is information in re
gard to the terms which Austro-Hun-gary
and Germany would be prepared
to accept. For example, the independ
ence of Poland, which is a Catholic
country, is a feature of the peace plan:
The message was received by the
President with the grave consideration
its distinguished origin deserved.
President Is Hesitant.
While in thorough sympathy with the
humanitarian desire of the Pope, and
ready and willing at a propitious mo
ment to aid the belligerents in resolv
ing their differences, the President
holds the opinion that no good, but
harm, might come through action by
the United States at this time. How
ever, the President expressed to' the
Cardinal his gratification over, the re
ception of the message.
But to take action, that is another
matter.
Several days ago the Administration
learned authoritatively that Germany
and Austro-Hungary were -willing to
accept -mediation by the United States.
From the allied powers, however it
was informed that an offer of media-

LONDON, Sept. 2. Plans for cor
recting the abnormal exchange situa
tion and putting on a stable basis the
entire machinery of setling trade bal
ances between America and Europe
will be clarified within the next few
days on the arrival in New York of
the French and British financial com
missions. Both commissions are now
en route.
The British authorities have re
quested that details regarding the
British commission be not discussed
until the delegates are well outside the
danger zone, after which all reserva
tions will be removed and the subject
opened to the fullest discussion.
Britain Need Ne Aid.
Meanwhile It is known that the com
missions are in the position to correct
some misapprehensions which are be
lieved to exist in the United States con
cerning British. French and Russian
dependence on America. One of the
best informed authorities said today;
"The Idea seems to prevail in New
Torlc that we are on our knees and
begging America to come to our as
sistance. The situation Is exactly the
reverse. America wants to sell Europe
its goods, and if Americans hope to
continue these sales they must find a
means of giving the usual credits and
stabilizing exchange."
View in London Hopeful.
The British commissioners are fully
conversant with the attitude of the
government, which does not regard the
present situation as alarming. On the
contrary the government's view is de
cidedly hopeful and serene, as the re

Thursdays War Moves
ALTHOUGH on all the battlefronts
sanguinary engagements are in
progress, peace talk is in the air.
Cardinal Gibbons has conveyed to
President Wilson a message from Pope
Benedict regarding peace a. sugges
tion that the time is now ripe for pro
posing the opening between the bel
ligerents of discussions having as their
purpose the cessation of hostilities.
While neither the Cardinal nor the
President has made known the details
of the conference at the White House,
or disclosed the text of the message
from the Pontiff, the Curdinal admitted
that peace was discussed and that he
had told the President that the United
States had been placed in a very ad
vantageous position to be of service in
bringing to an end the conflict, owing
to the apparent settlement of the sub
marine issue between the United States
and Germany, which had greatly aided
the cause of peace.
Germany is desirous of having the
claims for compensation arising out of
the sinking of the Lusitania and Arabic
submitted to The Hague for adjudica
tion. The instructions issued to Count
von Bernstorff, the German Ambassa
dor at Washington, according to a dis
patch from Berlin, authorized him to
make this offer to the American Gov
ernment, while at the same time im
munity from attack without warning
to passenger steamers Is provided for.
Official circles in Berlin are report
ed to be optimistic with reference to
the successful Issue of the negotiations
between Germany and the United States
respecting the German submarine
policy.
The Germans and Austrians, accord
ing to Berlin and Vienna, are contin
uing their progress against the Rus
sians on the eastern line from North
western Russia through Eastern Gall
cia. On the northern sections of this
line, except In the region of Riga, the
Russians seemingly are falling back
toward the new and less extended front
which Grand Duko Nicholas has as
signed to them for a possible stand.
Just where this line is has not been
made known. As for days past artil
lery engagements and fighting by
means of bombs and petards are In
progress on the western front and on
the Austro - Italian fronts although
there have been on the latter front
some Infantry engagements at isolated
points.
On the Gallipoli Peninsula hard fight
ing is going on between the Turks and
the allies, with both sides claiming vic
tories. In the Dardanelles, where there
have been no operations for some time,
allied mine sweepers have been at
work trying to clear the straits of
Turkish mines, but, according to Con

ASTORIA, Or., Sept. 2. (Special.)
Nature was kind to Astoria today and
provided perfect weather for the open
ing of the three days' aquatic carnival,
the 20th annual regatta, and the affair
statrted under auspices that insure Its
success.
Large crowds were present and Ions
before the hour set for the first event
on the programme, the grandstand was
filled and the wharves were lined with
people anxious to enjoy the day's
sports.
Amid the booming of cannon the
royal party arrived at the grandstand
promptly at 8:30 o'clock, and with a
ceremony that was both simple and
beautiful. Queen Tyyne was Introduced
by King Neptune and was crowned by
Admiral Wilson as sovereign of the
regatta.
Races Prove Thrllllns.
Immediately afterward Admiral Wil
son declared the regatta open and
directed that the races begin. Smooth
water with no drift and the speedboat
Hoodoo conspicuous by its absence
combined to make the racing events an
unqualified success.
As the racers sped away up the
course their engines humming evenly
and as softly as the purring of the
typical house cat and the white spray
thrown up by their plunging bows
glistening in the sunlight, they made a
beautiful picture.
Vogler Bay Sinks Near Shore.
After dropping out of the free-for-all
race, the speedboat Vogler Boy sprang
a leak, apparently from the hard
pounding while racing, and sank witn
ln 200 feet of the clubhouse. A diver
will attempt to raise her tomorrow. ,
Only two of the craft suffered
any engine trouble; the result
was pretty races and good time,
although no records were broken. The
feature of morning events was the
showing made by the Oregon Kid
which covered one five-mile lap in the
free-for-all race at a 30-mile rate and
ran the entire 20 miles at the rate of
38.95 miles an hour.
That she could readily have exceeded
that is the belief of those who watched
her antics as only in spurts was she
speeded up to anything like her limit.
Vogler Boy and Wanderlust Win.
The first race was the initial heat
in the contest for 16-footers, a distance
of nine miles for points valued at $o
each, the winner getting five, the sec
ond three and the third boat one point.
The entries were the Vogler Boy, La
wana and Red Nose and they finished
in the order named. The entries in
the handicap cruiser race were the
Doodle Bug, Katata, Elosa. Columbia
and Wanderlust. The latter won with
the Elosa second and the Doodle Bug
third.
The third and last race of the morn
ing was the principal one of the day.
It was the first heat in the free-for-all
speedboat contest that not only carries
a purse of J10 a point, but also includes
the international championship of the
Pacific Coast and gives the winner a.
trip to San Francisco to enter the "ex
position contests.
Oregon Kid Gains Lead Early.
This race was a distance of 20 miles
or four times around the long course.
The entries were the Oregon Wolf. Ore
gon Kid, Vogler Boy and La wan a, and
the race was as pretty an exhibition
of expert handling of speed craft as
was ever witnessed on the local course.
All the racers got away In a bunch,
with the Wolf about 10 feet in the lead,
the Kid second and the other two not
five feet behind. They headed up the
course at a terrific rate, but the Kid
slowly drew away and before com
pleting the first half lap was probably
100 yards ahead of the Wolf,- which
was hanging on tenaciously, while the
other two craft dropped farther behind.
In fact, the Vogler Boy developed more
engine trouble and was forced to drop
out at the end of the first lap.
Third Last Nose to Nose.
The first lap was made by the Kid
at the rate of 38.5 miles an hour, while
the Wolf was 38 seconds behind. On
the second lap the Wolf gained 28 sec
onds on her rival and beat the Kid's
time for the first lap by one second.
During the entire third lap the two
racers retained about the same posi
tions, but it was the fastest of the
race, the Kid maintaining a rate of 39
miles an hour, the best time made.
On the fourth lap the two contest
ants maintained exactly the same 1
speed, a rate of 38.75 miles an hour
nd the Oregon Kid finished first, her
time for the 20 miles being 30:49. or an
average speed of 38.93 miles an hour.
The running time of the Oreson
Wolf was 31:45 and her average speed
was "7.8 miles an hour. The Lawana
