NEWS REVIEW THE PAST WEEK Wilson Tells Pope Peace With German Autocracy Cannot Be Considered. KAISER NOT TO BE TRUSTED President's Sweeping Embargo Procla mation a Severe Blow to the Teu tons Russians In Council Agree to Continue War Italians Keep Up Drive on Trieste. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. There can be no pence with the cm- peror of Gormnny nnd the German nil- tocrncy because no reliance enn bo placed on their pledges unless ex plicitly supported by tho will of the German peoples themselves. Such Is the gist of President Wil son's reply to tlo pope rejecting, on i.nl.nlf nf tho ITnltPil States, tho nence proposals mndo by his holiness. It wns delivered at the Vatican Tuesday nnd was regarded as the reply of all (no nnti0ns ieagued against tho cen- trnl powers. Mr. Wilson's note is tno ciimnx ot the series of magnificent state docu ments In which he hns set forth the claims or world democracy nnu is nn other stirring Indictment of tho nuto- cratlc government of Germany. It na- Berts thnt peaco on tho terms pro posed by the pope would only glvo Germany time to recuperate for a re newal of Us "furious and brutal" poi Icy by which It seeks to dominate the world; would malco necessnry n per- mnient hostile combination of nations ngnlnst tho German people, and would result "In abandoning the new-born Russln to the Intrigue, the mnnlfold subtle Interference, and the certnln counter-revolution which would be nt tempted by nil tho mnllgn Influences to which the German government has of late accustomed the world." Again tho president makes It clenr. that America Is making war without deslry foVgah; or revenge, and does not seek tho infliction of punitive damages, the dismemberment of empires or tho es tablishment of selfish and exclusive economic lengues: but ho snys no mnn, no nation could depend on trea ties or agreements mnde hy the pres ent Gorman government nnd i'wo must awnlt somo new evidence of the pur poses of the great peoples of the cen- I . II tnu powers. German People See the Light. It Is thus made evident thnt a great change In Germany's form of govern ment. Involving tho fnll of autocracy. Is requisite to pence negotiations, and thnt tho German peoplo themselves are becoming convinced of this Is shown by tho developments of tho week In their strugglo for democratization and parliamentarism. Not since the war began lms thcro boon such freedom of speech nnd of the press ns now exists, and correspondents report thnt there Is now a solid political block In tho relchstng In favor of effective gunrnn ties thnt tho Imperial government no longer shall mnke vital decisions with out tho full knowledge, ndvlco nnd con sent of tho representatives of tho peo pie. It is considered likely that Austria, and perhaps Rulgnrln nnd Turkey will soon declnre war on the United States, because of tho loans our government hns made to Italy nnd other nations that are nt wnr with the kaiser's al Mes. Diplomatic relations, of course, were severed long ago, and Uncle Sam can contemplate with serenity a decla ration of wnr because It will really serve to free him from some embar rassments In the combntlng of spy work nnd other activities of thoso whd have been his actual If not avowed enemies. Embargo Is Blow to Kaiser. Ono of tho most Bcrlous blows the KalRer hns yet received wph delivered 'jy President Wilson nt the beginning if the week when he proclaimed nn 'iilni'go thnt gives tho United Stntes front showing a shcllhole used as n absolute control over Its exports. It prohibits Ihe export of all nrtlcles of commerce to enemy nnd neutral coun tries, hut It is tho Intention to care for tho needs of neutrals, by licensing shipments of such exportntlons as can be spared after the wants of the unit ed States nnd Its nlllcs have beep sup plied. A large number of commodi ties nre ndded to those named In the original ernhnrgo order, Including fats of all kinds, other foods, construction materials and other articles necessnry to the successful prosecution of the war by thlB government; also gold, bullion, currency nnd evidences of In debtedness this li) order to conserve the Immense store of gold thnt hns been accumulated by tho United States In the last three years. In n statement accompanying the order the president said: "The purpose and effect of this proclamation Is not export prohibition, but merely export control. It la not the Intention to Interfere unnecessar ily with our foreign trade, but our ,. own domestic needs must be adequate ly safeguarded and there Is the added duty of meeting the necessities of nil tho nntlons nt war with the Imperial German government. "After these.needs nre met It Is our wish nnd intention to minister to the needs of the neutral nntlons ns far as .m. nn-mlt Thin tnslr Wll bo discharged without other than the verv nroner nuallflcntlon ant tho liberation of our surplus products Hnx not bo made tho occasion of bene- nt to the enemy, either directly or In directly." Kerensky. Wins Support. The Russian national council In ses sion in Moscow promises nt least to clarify the situation there nnd defi nitely line up the forces that are striv ing to gain control In the new republic. Premier Kerensky admittedly Is anx ious ns to the future, but has stnted flatly nnd fearlessly the position of tho government of which he Is the head nnd lending spirit. lie warned those who thought the time hnd come to overthrow the revolutlonnry power with arms that his patience hnd Its limits, nnd thnt those who went be yond them would hnvo to settle with a government thnt will mako them re member tho time of cznrdom." He continued : Wo shnll bo Implacable, because wo are convinced thnt supreme power alone can assure the salvation of the n energotl That Is why I shall oppose ergotlcally nil nttempts to take ad vantage of Russia's natlonnl misfor tunes, nnd whntcvpr ultimatum Is pre seated, I shnll subject It to the su premo power nnd to myself, Its head. Then came Commhndcr In Chief Kornlloff with n dramatic speech In which he declared thnt restoration of the deuth pennlty, stern discipline nnd unlimited supplies were necessnry to restoro tho morale nnd fighting spirit In tho nrmles. General Kaledlnes, lender of the Don Cossacks, followed with a resolution adopted by the Cos sacks demanding, for the salvation of (ho country, the continuation of the wnr In close union 4vlth the nlllcs until complete victory was attained. These and other speeches checked the plans of the discontented, nnd the lenders of all factions united In dec larations that Russia must contlnu tho wnr nnd thnt everything possible must be done to strengthen the provi sional government. Whatever the United Stntes enn do to relievo tho more pressing of Rus sia's needs will bo done. This Presi dent Wilson pledged anew In a mes sage to the natlonnl council In which he assured the government every ma terial and moral nsslstnnco thnt tho people of this country can glvo will be given. The reading of President Wilson's message by Premier Kerensky brought tho cntlro assemblage to Its feet with wild and prolonged cheering. Great Work by the Italians. General Cadorna's brave Italian troops continued their successful drive ngnlnst the Austrlnns throughout the week, gaining more ground nnd more glory ench day. No ono who does not know tho country or who hns not nt least seen the moving pictures show ing the wnrfnro In the Alps has nny conception nf the difficulties thnt con front nn advancing army on this front. It Is n perfect region for defensive lighting, and now thnt the Italians canteen by British soldiers. 2 Free have shown the determination nnd nblllty to go forwnrd, the nlnrmed Aus trlnn commnnders nre hurrying great numbers of troops to the fighting lines nnd their resistance Is Increasing, Some of the heaviest fighting of tho week took place on the Bnlnslzzn pla teau, where the Italians pushed stead ily eastward toward the Upper Car nlola border and Lnlbach. At the same time Cadorna's menjinve been mnklng considerable progress In their ndvanco on Trieste on the Cnrso front, though details of this movement were with held by the Italian wnr ofilcc. On Wednesdny It was reported that prac tically all civilians hnd evacuated Tri este, The German crown prince has been keeping up his continual counter nt- tncks on the French In the Verdun sector nnd on the Alsno front, but lias been repulsed In every Instance, losing great numbers In killed, wounded nnd especially prisoners. The scene of bloodiest fighting about Verdun shifted to the east bank of the Meuse, where the vlllnge of Beaumont wns the cen ter of desperate combats. At Dead Man hill, also, the Germans made re peated attempts to regain the posi tions they had lost. With bulldog tenacity the British hung on to pnrts of Lens they hnd cap tured, and consolidated them despite almost daily and nightly attacks by Crown Prince Rupprecht's forces. Though heavy rains hampered opera' tlons, tho English took somo more positions east and southeast of Lange- for food, in many parts of tho coun marck In the direction of Poelcapelle. try, Including numerous elevntors In On the Eastern Front. The advance of tho Germans In Rou- mania, Gnllcla and In the region of Riga slowed up very considerably, and what little news came from those fronts indicated that both the -Rouma nians nnd Russlnns were putting up n credltnble fight, except In the region of Fokshnnl. Perhaps they cannot keep the foe out of southern Russln, but oven so the possession of thnt fertile region would help the Germans little because of the wretched transportation facilities westward. What Germany needs now nnd Is going to need much more In the near future Is food, nnd thnt cannot be cnrrled long dlstnnces Inland without railways. A modification of Germany's policy toward neutrals Is Indicated by her backdown In the negotiations with Ar gentina. She has promised Indemnity for the destruction of the steamship Toro and vlrrunlly pledged the free-. dom of the sens to vessels flying tho Argentine Hag. America's Heavy War Bill. More than nineteen billion dollars will be required to run the government during the fiscal year 1017-1018, ac cording to tho statement of the house ways and means committee made last Mondny. This Is about fifteen times ns much ns for nn ordinary year. Chairman Kltchln said the loans to the allies would aggregate S7.000.000.000, the shipping board will require about $1,000,000,000, nnd the other expenses of tho government will bring the total to nbout $10,300,000,000. Tho finance committees of tho house nnd senate have tentatively accepted the recommendation of the treasury department thnt the proportion of this . sum to be raised by taxation to thnt raised by bond issues shall be nbout 8 to 7. All but $2,000,000,000 of the money to be raised Is provided for In bills already passed or now pending before the sennte or hefo"? the house committee. President Wilson hns npproved Sec retary Daniels' estimates for the con struction of n great flotilla of destroy ers, for which congress Is nsked to authorize the expenditure of $350,000,- 000. The destroyer seems to bo tho best weapon yet devised to combat tho submarine. Apparently In no wny related to the murderous outbreak of colored troops nt Houston is the warning Issued by the Patriotic Education society, that the Germans are conducting n propa ganda In this country to start a gen eral uprising of negroes ngnlnst tho whites, promising German aid and money to finnnco tho Insurrection and telling tho Ignorant negroes that when Germany rules America the blacks will have equal rights with the whites. The Btory Is not so fantastic as It may ap pear and the society Is said to hnvo authentic Information supporting Its statements:. ADMITS M MUHDERS REV. KELLY CONFESSES HE COM- MITTED VILLISCA CRIME.

Prospects of nn early and radical reduction In bread prlco apparently vanished when Herbert Hoover, the food administrator, an nounced that the best the public may expect is a slxteen-ounce loaf for 10 cents, or possibly 8 cents. The 8-cent loaf of sixteen ounces Is possible, Mr. Hoover said, only If bakers, retailers and consumers unite to cllmlnnto wasteful distribution methods ami co operation to obtnln a standard sized loaf. The price of family flour, Mr. Hoover said, should be reduced at the present price of wheat at least $2 or $3 n barrel. Bakers' flour, however. will sell little cheaper than rtt present. Prices Don't Apply to 8eed. Washington. The food ndmlnlstrn- tlon has decided thnt-for the present t at least the basic price of $2.20 n bushel for wheat shall not npply to seed whaar.

It is stated at the Vatican. that Pope Tlenedicton receiving Pres ident Wilson's reply to his pence pro posals, did not nttempt to conceal his bitter disappointment, nnd that he regarded the president's nnswer ns leaving, little room for further pence efforts at present. It hns been no se cret here that the pope hoped for n more favorable response from the United Stntes thnii from nnywhere else. Teutons to Attack Riga. London.
