. Oaly Countries Vow pre
sented at Papal Court. -
; . - From tb. New- Tork Time,
-i Klner Alfonso's offer to place hU his
; torio Palace of the Escorlal at the dis
posal of the pope a palace bo large
. that it would easily accommodate the
; entire. Pontifical Court and the Cardin
als of the Curia has been declined
by the Holy Father, who declared that
: Jie had no intention of leaving Rome
. for the present. This was officially
announced recently at Madrid by Seaor
Kduardo Xato, the prime minister of
Spain, y ' y - ,...
y. But while Benedict XV has thus re
sisted . ; all the" powerf ul pressure
brought to bear upon him by Germany
and Austria-Hungary to seek refuge la
some neutral country while they are at
war with Italy, it does not follow that
he Is satisfied with the idea that by
reason of the conflict he la cut off
from all intercourse f with those sub
ject to his spiritual sway In the do-
. minions of the two kaisers and in tne
Ottoman empire.
Benedicts one aim since his eleva
tion to the Tiara, at the outset of the
'war, has been to emphasize the inter
national" character of the Papacy its
"'catholicity in the broadest sense of the
-word. He is just as much Supreme
fPontiff to the members of his church
in Germany, Austria-Hungary and Tur
key as he nds to those in Italy, France,
- Belgium, the British empire, in Russia,
Japan, and ra Serbia. . . " '
He is forced by this fact to observe
the strictest impartiality. His sacred
office precludes him from taking sides,
- and it is this that has caused him to
observe such; extreme discretion, wor
. thy alike of a great statesman and of
great priest, in refraining from
showing - any' leaning 'to one power
, rather than to another, and. to take a
quiet but firm stand against all the
: efforts made to obtain from him some
. pronouncement as to the rights and
wrongs of the issues forming the sub
ject of the present war. For he takes
the ground that Christ did not found
the church that she might teach which
aide is. right in a war between Chris
tian nations. ;
' JTeatrality Stand Interpreted.
Pope Benedict has adopted this atti
tude primarily on ecclesiastical
grounds, having at heart . first and
- foremost the interests of the church.
But he also appreciates the immense
value which the reputation of entire
Impartiality, above every kind of sus
picion, that he has obtained must prove
when his services are invoked as the
moat impartial of mediators, in the ne-
, gotlations which sooner or later must
be Inaugurated with a view to the res
toration of peace. Indeed, It is owing
to the belief in his complete neutrality
that he has already been accepted by
all the belligerent powers as an inter
mediary in connection with the' ar
rangement for" the exchange of severe
ly wounded prisoners of war and of in-
.. , terned civilians incapable of . bearing
; arms by reason of either age or in
firmity. It is because he is so anxious to
': maintain this reputation for absolute
impartiality that Benedict is distressed
by the situation created through the
existence of wr between Italy and her
former allies. Shut off as he is at
Rome from all official intercourse
. with Austria-Hungary, Germany and
Turkey, who; have been obliged to with
draw their embassies and legations ac
credited to the Vatican, he feels that
, these three powers are placed at a dls
'. advantage with regard to the church.
As- stated recently in the Osservatore
, Romano, which is the official organ of
the Papacy, . he finds himself con
fronted by a restriction of that inter
nationally which is so necessary to
the Pontiff In order to fulfill his mis
sion of Christianity. .
- Vops Considers XTew Flan.
To these sentiments on the part of
the Holy Father, to his earnest desire
: that there should be no feeling on the
part of the- members of the Roman
Catholic church in Germany, Austria
Hungary and Turkey that their relig
ious Interests have suffered through
the exclusion from Italy of their dip
lomatic representatives accredited to
the Holy See. must be attributed the
origin of the plan which be has at
present under consideration.
It is nothing more nor less than a
request to the other powers now en
gaged In the war to withdraw their
envoys to the court of the Vatican un
til the restoration of peace, since the
rupture of the Concordat in 1905, be
tween the Pjipacy and France, the lat
. - ter has ceased to maintain any diplo
matic intercourse with the Holy See.
Japan, Serbia and Montenegro have no

GREAT EUROPEAN WAR WILL LAST UNTIL ONE
SIOE RUNS OUT OF POWDER AND SHELLS,
SAYS HEAD OF UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION
Personal Observations Are Given by Roy W. Howard,
Who Has Just Returned From Battleground Which
He Visited as Guest of Sir John French.
Soy Howard's Observations at
the Tront.
Battles of the European war
will be fought hereafter in
the ammunition factories.
This war is unlike any war
that was ever fought before.
It will end when one side or
the other runs out of powder
and shell.
The morale of the French
troops is a Surprise.
.
,
Roy W. Howard, president of the
United Press association, who has
lately returned from a tUree months'
trip through the war zone reorganiz
ing the news gathering 'forces' along
lines that will bring to the public the
real meaning of conflict and the human
side of the soldier's life, was In Port
land last week on a tour of the coast.
As a guest of Sir John French, com
mander of the British troops, Mr. How
ard mixed with the soldiers in' the
trenches, saw the heavy guns in action,
glimpsed at close range the big things
that were happening: He came back
with a new conception of what war -is-like,
shorn of the tinsel and the glamor
of waving flag" and martial music .
'Preferred to opal" with Men.
"I was enabled through some per
sonal friends In London to get in touch
with some personal friends of General
French," said Mr. Howard. These
friends led to an Invitation from s Sir
John himself to spend a couple of
weeks with him. i I managed to induce
Sir John to allow 'William G. Shepherd
to visit the allies' lines not as a news
paper man, but as a personal guest of
the commander. .
"Slr John wanted . Sheoherd to (hint
the officers quarters with him, but 1
Shepherd said, he preferred to "pal'
around with the soldiers. He was, ac
cordingly, given all the courtesies of
the trenches, the officers quarters and
the privilege of ; writing ; anything he
saw. Although this had to pass the
censorship, It was easy for a trained
newspaper man to reproduce the "pic
ture of trench life, without rousing the
displeasure of the censors.,
Mr. - Howard afterward visited ! the
German lines in East Poland as a guest
of General von Mackensen, riding along
the. trenches for miles in an open auto
mobile with the thermometer 4 and 5
degrees below; sero. - He went from
there to Rome, back to. Paris, on to
London and thence home. He had ex
pected to be gone three weeks. He was
actually away i from home . three
months, i .!,.?:'.
' Force Is Reorganised.
News i gathering along the- battle
front, must be the chronicling of In
dividual ; but ' typical episodes. Realiz
ing that preconceived : notions of war
must be swept aside if the American
people are . to understand - the present
conflict. Mr. Howard ; undertook to re
organize, his forces -to show Just how
the war js being carried on. ' 1
The United Press. . which now has
probably the most thorough news gath
ering . organization in Kurope. - has
Scored some notable "beats" so far dur
ing ths war. It- has accomplished these,
Mr. Howard believes, because its men
now in charge are the. same ones who
were r there long before the war start
ed.. They were known -. personally by
the diplomats and military men ; and
accordingly were the first ones thought
of when news was to be announced. ' i
Competing . press associations sent
over an army of new men able with
out . doubt, but men who lacked the
full confidence of those who make the
news. .
l Coordinate Bowers CHven. ; .
As a result of Mr. Howard's trip, the
managers of the bureaus at London,
Paris, Rome, Berlin and Petrograd
were given cooordinate powers with
the general office in New Tork. By
this means news is now seat; direct to
the American people by the correspond
ents without the preliminary formali
ties of asking the "boss" whether this
or that might be or should be done.
This was done largely because of
the censorship that had prevailed froi
the, first. - News stories reaching the
New Tork offices from the front "had
been so mutilated by the censor as to
be unintelligible. Mr. Howard tried to
break this censorship and to that, end
conferred with the commanders of both
sides in the conflict, trying to -tell
them that the world was waiting : for
the truth,' that readers cared nothing
for the strategic maneuvers of this di
vision or that wing. Rather, he told
them, the world wants the story of
how human beings fight., what they ac
complish add where they falL u
Howard was. in an ally's trench one
day in company with William Philip
Sims, head of the Paris bureau, when
some of. the artillery officers volun
teered to show how bombs are tossed
into the German trenches, which ; were
only a few yards away at that point,
i Kow Bombf Are "Tossed." : ; -
"They took an old-fashioned mortar,
rammed some powder into it, put In a
time Domo. set the fuse for seven sec
onds, lighted a fuse in the butt of the
mortar with Sims' cigarette lighter and
she was off. We could see. the bomb
curving over the no man's' land' be-
tween the trenches just as one might
throw a baseball and it dropped square
ly into the German trench. -X was Just
laughing skeptically at the value of
the shot i when plng!' ; the bomb I ex
ploded In the trench. The range was
perfect, but If the shell had been timed
to explode just when it hit the ground,
it would have done frightful damage.
Maybe it did. at that.- ; - yi :
Mr. Howard explained tne-nature of
th system of trenches that has be
come J the - great features of ; tbis war.
. "Contrary i to my - own preconceived
Ideas and probably to those of every
one else, these trenches are not ranged
in a straight line," said Howard. "They
run of f at most unexpected angles, a
few feet in this direction, a rod in
that. ; The course, of the trench is. of
course, . In one general direction.; : The
object of this erratic trend of things
Is tg prevent the enemy from mounting
a big gun in such a position that it
would sweep the length of the trench
with an enfilading fire., - -
Trenches Practically Impregnable.
The trench system is composed of
three sections 600 miles; long, i Kach
trench is protected by some 20 strands
of heavy barbed . wire, frequently, high
ly charged with electricity. --? Posts are
set up In front through which this wire
is tangled so that It is almost impos
sible to - penetrate. , Back Of ' this Is
the -trench, itself. - - - -
- Now. suppose the enemy did succeed
In breaking through this wire tangle
at One point What would happen? The
defenders would merely retire through
connecting trenches to the secondary
trench : a little to the rear, where they
would be as strongly protected as iix
the first. But the enemy In breaking
down the tangle at one point .Would
have accomplished nothing, because the
trench is 600 miles long what would
the capture of a half mile amount to?
"If the enemy by any, emergency
were driven from the secondary trench
they would : retire through connecting
trench.es to "the reserve trenches; .per
haps a mile back of the secondary.
These trenches are strongest of all,
because they were laid out by i engi
neers according to strategical rules.
The first' trenches were, of. course,, dug
hastily. So if either army is to cap
ture Paris or Berlin, it will be only
after all" these' trendies for the whole
600 miles have been demolished. I That
is why I say the war will depend upon
how t long the ammunition lasts, be
cause .the- guns are ; used chiefly now
to cut through this barbed I wire
tangle." ; . .

Kothlng is more repulsive than to see
a woman with her face all daubed with
face powder in her desire I to hide

face lotion that will Improve 'and per
manently benefit the skin. By dis
solving four ounces of spurmax in
one-half pint of : hot water i you . can
make an inexpensive lotion that will
do wonders as a skin whitener . and
complexion -beau tifier. It removes all
sbininess, sallowness . and roughness,
and gives the skin a "smooth, velvety
tone, while it does not rub off easily
like powder, nor does it show on the
skin.
MAKES HAIR FLUFFT By Wash

so fluffy,' in fact, that It looks more

This ' ' simple, . inexpensive f. shampoo

People of the Pacific coast are des

Frank Anrys, for the last 12 years

the local branch, and Mr. Case,
its manager.
Mr. Anrys' headquarters are at San

of the ' business horizon and a thor

The ; piano; ; he declares, has i long
ceased to be a luxury and today is
considered a most necessary part of
home furnishings. As an example he
cites the fact that after the San Fran
cisco fire people so craved music that
his house did the biggest business of
its history just after the huge con
flagration. The player piano he welcomes with
delight. "Instead of discouraging peo
ple from learning to play themselves,
the player has the- opposite effect"
he said. "It is like high class) phono
graphic records carrying the songs of
famous singers. Others listen and
try to imitate and the result is more
music, more Interest in music and that
of course works to our own benefit
and at the same time brings more
light and happiness into 'the world."
Mr. Anrys notes that business has
improved somewhat but believes the
settlement into the normal groove will
be slow. "Physically the country never
was in , better shape," he asserted.
There ia plenty of money but the peo
ple are hanging on to it but remem
ber they won't save long. The Ameri

A. J.' . Armstrong, Former Portland
Business-Man, Gives Xmpresaions of
. ZTeeds After Absence rest.
Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Armstrong, who
for; the - past eight years hav been
living . in Chicago. Hi, are in the
city enjoying the Rose Carnival and
shaking hands with ..their numerous
old friends, j They are the house
guests of Mr. and Mrs. 'J. W. Blain
at their home in East " Portland
Heights. .; - .
r Mr.i Armstrong was In business In
Portland for 17 years, . but went east
eight years ago to loin hts brother in
the manufacture of cement stucco,
plaster, and other building materials:
also sewer pipe and drain tile, and
are now operating two large ' fac
tories. vH says that business in the
middle west is practically normal; in
fact, good in, their line, and is sur
prised to hear so much talk of hard
times on this coast, and is confident
that business here will soon improve.
' Mr. Annstrons; attributes the busi
ness depression, on the coast largely
to- the lack of manufacturing Indus
tries, and thinks our Chamber of
Commerce should exert its energies
in the direction of promoting such in
dustries,, and: also to encouraging the
farmers to keep their land fertilized
and built up ; to greater efficiency,
which will amply pay them" and make
them much more prosperous He says
that the growth of Portland has been
so marvelous during his .eight years'
absence that; it Is hard to make him
self believe -that It is the same cKy.
In fact, he frequently finds himself
practically lost, all the old-landmarks
having disappeared.
Mr. Armstrong predicts a great fu
ture for ' thls city and state, and hopes
that within a few years he will be
able to return iere to make .his fu
ture home, i

make gi instrument. , . -
STILL ANOTHER EXCEPTION

- Varying opinions have been ex
pressed on the provision authorizing

nature, and may be used by the clerk
to further his political interests.

in the Interest of efficiency, as under
the old law the work of selecting the
Judges and . clerks was largely dele
gated by the county commissioners to
an employe. ,. IWis ' contended that
when difficulties arise on election day
a county official should be responsible
