the biiMiie-s. The ordinance for
bid i the pure ha si in;- of goods from
a miner, ami imposes a tine of from
live to fifteen dollars for the first
offense, and a revocation of the li
cense for a subsequent one. The

a miner ha:-, can-id the delinquency

the elder boys and another for the
younger, and both were fully enjoy

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

Text of President Wilson's Reply to
Peace Proposal of the Vatican
Washington. 1). C, Aug. I'S. 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

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
