FEDERATION OF CATHOLIC
SOCIETIES ENDORSE PEACE
KANSAS CITY, Aug. 23.—The
American Federation or' Catholic
Societies now holding its conven
tion here adopted a resolution in
accordance with the Pope's Peace
proposal hut at the same time
pledged the support of Catholic
America to the war aims of Presi
dent Wilson.
This compound was adopted with
•
out doubt as a compromise to satis
by the German American Catholics
who are very strong, if not the
strongest faction represented at the
convention and with whom the
Pope's peace plan finds unquestion
lavor.
WASHINGTON, D. C.. Aug. 2S—
I it is now likely that whatever an
swer that may be given to the
Pope relative to his peace propo
sals will be given simultaneously
with the responses which may be
handed by the Entente nations.
While America will lake an in
dependent position with no sign oi
an agreement with any power, tilt
answer wih be tantamount to that
given by the rest and will be un
equivocally a rejection. j
As far as the Allies are concerned ;
boyoiul the original intimation that i ji
the German and Austrian nations u
I L
would accept the Pope’s peace plan, C
[
there is nothing further known as C
to the official position on the mat- j
or to be taken by those govern- i
nents.

below Fort Davis. Mr. Jensen was
in town yesterday'in connection
with a very ancient law suit depo
sitions for which are till being
taken. This is the effort ot the
X. A. T. Co. to get about -14 0,000
front the United States govern

but taken by Uncle Sant for the
Fort Davis past. For some time
through Judge Crawley tin govern

Davis ground and panikrrs were
made by Nick Butler, all this work
being done by the government oil
its own behalf to test the values oi
the ground involved. It is certain
ly no bonanza and should the gov

to the X. A. T. Co., the latter will
