Among the things to en tertain wire two ball games, one for the elder boys and another for the younger, and both were fully enjoy ed.. There were swings for the child ren, and all kinds of diversions. Dur ing the evening there was a tug of war between the girls and boys, but the girls outnumbered the boys, and i:i that manner were about able to match them in the test of strength. The rope was not broken, although the pulling power cf these youngsters was i-omewhat startling. All partook of M.poer at the park. Everyone took a paper plate, serving themselves to a fine lap supper which was enjoyed after the strenuous exercises which JuhI been indulged in.

The reply of I'resident Wilson to' tlie peace proposals ol Pope Benedict' fol lows: Washington. 11. C, Aug. 27. To His Holiness. Renedictus XV, Rope: In acknowledgement of the com munication of Your Holiness to the belligerent, peoples, dated August 1, 1!17, the president of the United States requests me to transmit the following reply: Every heart. that has not been blinded and hardened by this terri ble war must be touched by this mov ing appeal of His Holiness, the Pope; must feel the dignity aad force of humane and generous motives which that we might take the path of peace he so persuasively points out. But it would be folly to take it if it does net in fact lead to the goal he pro poses. Our response must be based upon the stern facts and upon noth ing else. It is not a mere cessation of arms he desires; it is a stable and enduring peace. This agony must not lie gone through with again, and it must be a matter of very sober judgment that will insure us against it. x His Holiness in substance proposes that we return to the status quo ante helium and that then there be a gen eral condonation, disarmament, and a concert of nations, based upon and acceptance of the principle of arbi tration; that by a similar concert, freedom of the seas and that the ter ritorial claims of France and Italy, the perplexing problems of the Balk an states and the restitution of Po land be left to such conciliatory ad justment as may be possible in the prompted it, and must fervently wish new temper of such a peace,' due re gard being paid to the aspirations of the peoples whose political fortunes and affiliations will be involved . It is manifest that no part of the program can be successfully carried out unless the restitution of the status quo ante furnishes a firm and satisfactory basis for it. The object of this war is to deliver the free peoples of the world from the men ace and the actual power of a- vast military establishment controlled by an irresponsible government, which, having necretly planned to dominate the world, proceeded to carry out the plan without regard either to the jiacred obligations of treaty or the long established practices and long cherished principles of internation al action and honor; which chose its own time for the war, delivered its blow fiercely and suddenly; stopped at no barrier, either of law or of mercy; swept a whole continent with in the tide of blood not the blood of soldiers only, but the blood of in nocent women and children, also, and of the helpless poor; and now stands balked, but not defeated, the enemy of four-fifths of the world. This pow OFFICERS CI IAS. C. PARJ1KI.K JACOR TRITSCH THOMAS E. PARMELE li. F. PATTERSON'. F. (J. EC EN B ERG ER er is not the German people. It is no business of ours how that great people came under its control or sub mitted with temporary zest to th.e domination of its purpose; but it is our business to see to it that the his tory of the rest of the world is no longer left to its handling. To deal w... such a power by ways of peace upon the plan proposed by His Holiness, the Pope, would, so far as we can see, involve, a recupera tion of its strength and a remoal of its policy; would make it necessary to create a permanent hostile com bination of nations against the Ger man people, who are its instruments; and would Tesult in abandoning the new-born .Russia to the intrigue, the manifold subtle interference, and th.e certain counter revolution which would be attempted by all the malign influences to which the German gov ernmei t has of late accustomed the world. Can peace he based upon a restitutio!! of its power or upon any word cf honor it could pledge in a treaty of settlement 'and accommoda tion? Responsible statesmen must now everywhere, see, if they never w be fore, that no peace can rest securely upon political or economic restriction meant to benefit some nations and to cripple or embarrass others. upon vindicative action of any sort, or any kind of revenge or deliberate injury. The America!! people have suffered itiU.lerahle wrongs at the hands of the Imperial German government, but they desire no reprisal upon the Ger man people, who have themselves suffered all things in this war which they diil not choose. They believe that peace should rest upon the rights of peop'es, not the rights of governments the rights of peoples great or small; weak or powerful their equal right to freedom and se curity and self-government ami to a participation upon fair terun. in the economic prospects of the world the German people, of course, includ ed, if they will accept equality and not seek domination. The test, therefore, of every plan of peace is this: Is it based upon the faith of all the peoples involved or merely upon the word of an ambi tious and intriguing government on the one hand and a group of free peoples on the other? This is the test which goes to the root of the matter, and it is the test which must be applied. The purposes of the United Spates in this war are known to the whol? world to every people lo whom the truth has been permitted to come. They do not need to be stated again. We seek no material advancement of any kind. We believe that the in tolerable wrongs done in this war by the furious and brutal power of the Imperial German government ought to be repaired, but not at the expense of the sovereignty of any people rather a vindication of the sover eignty both of those that are weak and those that are strong. Punitive damages, the dismemberment of em pires, the establishment of selfish and exclusive economic leagues, we deem inexpedient and " in the end worse than futile, no' proper basis for a peace of any kind, least of all for an enduring peace. That must be based upon justice and fairness and the common right of mankinl. We cannot take the word of the present rulers of Germany as a. guar antee of anything that is to endure unless explicitly supported by such conclusive evidence of the will and purpose of the German people them selves as the other peoples of the world would be justified in accept ing. Without such guarantees trea ties of settlement, agreements, cove nants to set up arbitration in the place of peace, if made with the Ger man . government, no man, no nation OFFICERS THOMAS E.

We niu.:t await some new evidence of the purposes of the great peoples of the Central powers.
