NEWS REVIEW OF 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 em peror of Germany nnd the German au tocracy becnuse no reliance can bo placed on their pledges unless ex plicitly supported by the will of the Germnn peoples themselves. Such Is the gist of President Wil son's reply to the pope rejecting, on behnlf of the United Stntcs. the pence proposals made by his holiness. It was delivered at the Vatican Tuesday and was regarded as the reply of all tho nations leagued ngnlnst the cen tral powers. Mr. Wilson's note Is the climax of the scries of magnificent state docu ments In which ho hns set forth the claims of world democracy nnd Is nn other stirring Indictment of the nuto crntlc government of Germnny. It ns sorts that peace on tho terms pro posed by the pope would only give Germnny time to recuperate for n re newal of Its "furious and brutal" pol icy by which It seeks to domlnnte tho world; would make necessary a per manent hostile combination of nations ngnlnst tho Germnn people, and would result "In abandoning tho now-born Russia to the Intrigue, the mnnlfold subtle Interference, nnd the certain counter-revolution which would bo at tempted by all tho mnllgn Influences to which tho Germnn government hns of late accustomed tho world." Again tho president makes It clear thnt Amerlcn Ib making war without desire for gain or revenge, nnd does not seek the infliction of nunltlve damages, tho dismemberment of empires or the es tablishment of selfish nnd exclusive economic leagues; but ho says no man, no nation could depend on trea ties or agreements made by the pres ent German government and "we must nwnlt somo new evidence of tho pur poses of the great peoples of the cen tral powers." German People See the Light. It is thuB made evident thnt n great change In Germany's form of govern ment, Involving the fall of autocracy, Is requisite to pence negotiations, and that tho German people themselves are becoming convinced of this Is shown by the developments of tho week In their struggle for democratization nnd parliamentarism. Not since tho war began has there been such freedom of speech and of the press ns now exists, and correspondents report thnt there Is now n solid political block In the relchstag In favor of effective guaran ties that tho imperial government no longer shnll make vital decisions with out tho full knowledge, advice and con sent of the representatives of the peo ple. It is considered likely that Austria, nnd perhnps Bulgaria and Turkey will goon declaro war on tho United States, because of the loans our government has made to Italy and other nations thnt ore nt war with the knlscr's al lies. Diplomatic relations, of course, were Bcvered long ago, and Uncle Snm enn contemplate with serenity a decla ration of war because It will really servo to free him from somo embar rassments In tho combating of spy work nnd other activities of those who hnve been his actual If not avowed enemies. Embargo Is Blow to Kaiser. One of the most serious blows the knlser hns yet received was delivered by President Wilson nt tho beginning of the week when he proclaimed an embargo that gives tho United Stutcs absolute control over Its exports. It prohibits tho export of all articles of commerce to enemy and neutral coun tries, but It Is tho Intention to care for tho needs of neutrals, by licensing shipments of such exportntlons ns can be spared nfter the wants of the Unit ed Stntcs and Its allies have been sup plied. A large number of commodi ties nre ndded to those named in the original embargo order, Including futs of all kinds, other foods, construction materials and other articles necessary to tho successful prosecution of tho war by this government; also gold, bullion, currency nnd evidences of In debtednessthis In order to conserve tho immense store of gold thnt has been accumulated by the United States In tho last three years. In n statement accompanying tho order the president said: "The purpose and effect of this proclamation Is not export prohibition, but merely export control. It Is 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 ndded duty of meeting the necessities of nil the nntlons nt war with the Imperial Germnn government. "After these needs nre met It Is our wish and Intention to minister to the needs of tho neutral nations ns far as our own resources permit. This task will be discharged without other than the very proper qualification that the liberation of our surplus products shnll not be made the occasion of bene fit 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 tho situation there and defi nitely lino up the forces that are striv ing to gain control In the new republic. Premier Kerensky ndmlttcdly Is anx ious ns to tho future, but has stated flatly nnd fearlessly the position of the government of which he Is tho head and lending spirit. Ho wurncd those who thought tho time hud como to overthrow tho revolutionary power with arms that his patience hnd its limits and that those who went be yond them would have to settle with a "government that will make them re member tho tlmo of czardom." Ho continued: "Wo shnll bo Implncable, because wo nre convinced thnt supremo power nlono can assure the salvation of the country. Thnt is why 1 shall oppose energetically all attempts to take ad vantage of Russia's national misfor tunes, nnd whntevcr ultimatum Is pre sented, I shnll subject it to tho su preme power and to myself, Its hend." Then came Commander In Chief Kornlloff with n dramatic speech in which ho declared that restoration of the denth pcnnlty, stern discipline and unlimited supplies were nccessnry to restore the morale nnd fighting spirit in the armies. General Kaledlnes, lender of tho Don Cossacks, followed with a resolution adopted by the Cos sacks demanding, for the salvation of tho country, tho continuation of the wnr in close union with the allies until complete victory was nttnlncd. These and other speeches checked the plans of tho discontented, and the leaders of all factions united in dec larations that Russia must continue, tho war and that everything possible' must bo dono to strengthen tho provi sional government. Whatever the United Stutcs can do to relieve tho more pressing of Rus sia's needs will bo done. This Presi dent Wilson pledged anew in a mes sage to the national council In which he assured tho government every ma terial and moral assistance that tho people of this country can give will be given. The reading of President Wilson's message by Premier Kerensky brought tho entire assemblage to Its feet with wild and prolonged cheering. Great Work by the Italians. Gcncrnl Cadorna's bravo Itnllnn troops continued their successful drive ngnlnst the Austrlnns throughout the week, gaining more ground and more glory each day. No one who does not know the country or who has not nt least seen the moving pictures show lug tho war fare In die Alps hns any conception of the dllllcultlos Hint con front an advancing nrmy nn this front. It Is n perfect region for defensive fighting, and now that tho Ilallims have shown tho determination and ability to go forward, the alarmed Aus trian commanders are hurrying great numbers of troops to tho fighting lines nnd their resistance Is Increasing. Somo of the heaviest fighting of tho week took place on the Itnlnslzzn pla teau, where the Italians pushed stead ily eastward toward tho Upper Car nlola border and Lalhach. At the same time Cadorna's men have been making considerable progress In their advance on Trieste on the Carso front, though details of this movement were with held by the Itnllnn war otllce. On Wednesday It was reported that prac tically all civilians had evacuated Tri este. The German crown prince lias been keeping up his continual counter at tacks on tho French In tho Verdun sector nnd on the Alsno front, hut has been repulsed In every instance, losing great numbers In killed, wounded and esneelnllv nrlsoners. The scenu of bloodiest fighting about Verdun shifted to the east bank of the Mouse, where the village of Ilenumont was tho cen ter of desperate combats. At Dead Man hill, nlso, tho Germans made re peated attempts to regain the posi tions they hnd lost. With bulldog tcnnclty the British hung on to pnrts of Lens they had cinc tured, and consolidated them despite nlmost dnlly nnd nightly nttneks by Crown Prince Rupprecht's forces. Though heavy rains hampered opera tions, the English took somo more positions east and southenst of Lnnge mnrck In tho direction of Poelcapclle. On the Eastern Front. The advance of the Germans In Rou mnnln, Gnllcla and In the region of Riga slowed up very considerably, nnd whnt little news came from thoso fronts Indicated thnt both the Rouma nians and Russians were putting up n creditable fight, except In tho region of Fokshanl. Perhaps they cannot keep the foo out of southern Russia, hut even so the possession of thnt fertile region would help tho Germnns little because of the wretched transportation facilities westward. What Germnny needs now nnd is going to need much more In the nenr future Is food, and that cannot bo cnrrled long distances inlnnd 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 nnd virtually pledged tho free dom of the sens to vessels flying the Argentine flag. America's Heavy War Bill. More than nineteen billion dollars will bo required to run tho government during the fiscal year 1017-1018, ac cording to tho stntcment of the house ways and means commltteo mnde last Monday. This Is about fifteen times ns much as for an ordinary year. Chairman Kit chin said the loans to the allies would aggregate $7,000,000,000, the shipping board will require about $1,000,000,000, nnd tho other expenses of the government will bring tho total to about $10,300,000,000. Tho finance committees of the houso nnd sennte have tentatively accepted the recommendation of the treasury department thnt tho proportion of this sum to be raised by taxation to that raised by bond Issues shall be about 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 senate or before the houso committee. President Wilson has approved Sec retary Daniels' estimates for tho con struction of a great flotilla of destroy ers, for which congress Is asked to authorize tho expenditure of $350,000, 000. The destroyer seems to bo tho best weapon yet devised to combat tho submarine. Apparently In no way related to the murderous outbreak of colored troops at Houston Is the warning Issued by the Patriotic Education society, that the Germans arc conducting n propa ganda In this country to start a gen eral uprising of negroes ngnlnst tho whites, promising Germnn aid and money to finance tho Insurrection and telling tho Ignorant negroes that when Germany rules Amerlcn the blacks will have equal rights with the whites. Tfio story Is not so fantastic as it may ap pear and (lie society Is said to have authentic Information supporting Its statements. HE MM TAKES KEEN INTEREST IN 1917 APPLE CROP Our Big Fruit Harvest Must Be Used to Help Save Wheat and Meat for Allies. FOOD ADMINISTRATION PLANS 'Consumer Campaign" Throughout the Land to Aid In Home Consumption During Autumn, Winter and Spring of Next Year. Undo Sjim takes tho keenest Inter rst In this year's apple crop. For the fruit must lie used to help save wheat and meats for our allies. The food admlnliitratlon Is planning a consumer campaign of publicity throughout the country. This year's apple crop calls for In telligent handling. Thu latest govern ment reports indicate a crop of about 100,000,000, bushels. That Is a little below normal. Good prices are assured for all honestly packed, first quality apples, ami also for honestly packed, selected second grades, which govern ment experts say can bo put Into stor ngo. When tho crop Is big It does not pay to store second grades, hut this year, despite the fact that wo cannot ship our usual 2,000,000 barrels of ap ples abroad, because shipping space Is precious, we should bo able to get fair prices for all good apples at home. Careless packing of poor qdilllty fruit has always been one of tho chief causes of market instability and un satisfactory prices to tho growers. This year tho whole apple Industry Is co-operatlug to remove this market handicap. There has never been nn tipple year such as tills one Is going to lie. Growers have never been nble to get together nnd engage nnd lhinuco I n national educational campaign j umong consumers to Increase apple consumption. Tins year uu summon makes It necessary for the United States government, through the food administration, to conduct u consum er's campaign of publicity on behalf of the apple. This campaign will begin while the crop Is being sent to market, and will probably continue until the last apple Is eaten up late next spring. So the grower hns three great Incen tives for grading, packing nnd storing this crop with especial care. 1. It Is a good crop nnd culls for care. 2. Tho government will encourage apple eating and apple storage nnd wlinilscourago speculation that raises the price abnormally. 8. We must ent up at home more thnn two million barrels of apples, which would ordlnnrlly be exported. To get tho best of the crop to tho market In prime condition It must bo picked carefully at tho time of ma turity and promptly cooled In tem porary storage, and then skillfully graded and nicked. Second-grade fruit should not go Into barrels or boxes. If It cannot be marketed In hulk In near-by consuming centers, then it should bo worked up Into by products along with the culls. There has been a gratifying Im provement in apple marketing the past two or three years. Western apples arc boxed to strictly honest standards, by tho great co-operative growers' or ganizations In Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho und Colorado. Tho eastern barrel apple has ulso been wonderfully Improved In New York nnd other stntcs. Because upplcs are honestly packed nnd glvo tho best pos sible value for the money, there Is nn increase In the consumer demnnd. Re tail merchants who were formerly al most afraid to buy npplcs In barrels, because they were not sure of getting marketable values for their money, are now buying freely nnd In confi dence. This good work makes It pos rdblo for tho government to go further and encourage tho use of apples as a war-time food measure. Because tho bulk of the crop will be picked by volunteer workers this year, nnd put into common storage until the grower can find tlmo to grade and pack, there will bo an opportunity to glvo closer personal attention to tho grading and packing than might bo the case if tho crop were handled as in peace times. For the grower who de sires Instructions In apple packing, the department of agriculture at Wash ington has information in bulletin form. These bulletins can be secured free by writing to tho department Growers twIU do well to obtain a few copies for their pickers and packers. Find a Use for Rats. The city authorities of Stockholm bavo begun a campaign agulnst rats by offering a reward of 1f cents for every dead one. While it is hoped thus to reduco tho rat plague considerably, the chief end Is to get nn important addition to tho stocks of fats nvnllnblo for the making of sonps and lubri cants. Tho rats nro treated In n "corpso utilization establishment," where, after the fut has been boiled out, whnt remains Is converted Into a poultry food. South Sweden has for some time been utilizing cadavers of animals. Conltlcrnhlo fut Is ulso obtained by sklmiirHig large contain ers placed in tho sewers leading from hotels, restaurants und otlier places where there Is an unavoidable waste of fat. The Reason.

Win the War!! Harvest the Crops Save the Yields On the battle fields of France and Flanders, the United States boys nnd the Canadian boys are fighting side by side to win for the World tho freedom that Prua sianism would destroy. While doing this they must bo fed nnd every ounce of muscle that can be requisitioned must go into use to save this year's crop. A short harvest period requires the combined forces of the two countries in team work, such as the soldier boys in France and Flanders arc demonstrating. Thi Combined Fighters In Franc and Flanders and ths Combined Harvesters In America WILL Bring ths Allied Victory Nearer. Areciproenlarrangernent for tha use of farm workers has been perfrcted between the Depart ment of the Interior of Canada and the Department! of Labor and Agriculture of the Unlittl States, under which it Is proposed to permit the harvesters that are now engaged in the wheat fields of Okla homa, Kansas, Iowa. North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska. Minnesota and Wisconsin to move over Into Canada, with the privilege of later returning to the United States, when the cropa In the United States have been conserved, and help to save the enormous crops In Canada which by that time will be ready for harvesting.
