HALE SAYS PEACE UP TO WILSON; POPEJS FAIR Proposals Favor Neither Side Whole World Yearns for Peace.

William Bayard Hale, former Berlin correspondent, now in Washington, expresses the following opinion on the Pope's peace proposal: Serenely unaware that he is traversing any dictum of the American Government, which has apparently set its face against the discussion of peace possibilities at this moment, hia Holiness Pope Benedict XV. head of Catholic Christendom, has addressed and transmitted to all the belligerent Pow-

France, with its man-power rapidly diminishing, is putting all its hopes, all its faith in the United States and believes that this country's weight makes victory for the allies a positive certainty. .

"The United States appreciated the aid France gave it in the war of 1812, and France is depending on the United States in its time of need," he said. French People Grateful. "The French people are linked closer to this country and the French are grateful, grateful to the government, grateful to the soldiers who are demonstrating their love of country by responding to the call to the colors." , "Germany can not last much longer at the present rate. Its man power is rapidly diminishing and with the United States fighting with the Allies there is no doubt In my mind as to the outcome of this great war for democracy." Gives Private Lessons. Prof. Boisvert, who resides at 229 North Ninth street, has been giving

private Instructions in French in Richmond and will soon form another

class. All of his lessons are given privately. He wants to stay in Richmond and is asking for pupils.

He believes America's entrance Into the war will stimulate the study of

To this end he asks for a statement in concrete terms of the reasons which impel the various Powers in their mutual murderous design, and the terms upon which they are willing to submit their differences to the arbitrament of reason. '

That a great wave of yearning for

peace is sweeping over the world has been borne in upon the consciousness of Washington within the last few days by many striking evidences. The English parliamentary crisis over the question of the participation of English labor representatives in the Stockholm conference has been the most spectacular of these signs. Though less dramatically brought to an issue, the defiance of the French Government by both the Socialist and the

Thomas, has been scarcely less significant With the apostolic successor of St Peter solemnly conjuring the warring world to a respite of war's horrors until the voice of reason and humanity can be, for a moment heard, it will assuredly be difficult for the AdminIstration at Washington to remain In the company of the Sauls, who are "yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter." , So far as Washington knows tonight the Papal appeal contains no evidence of special sympathy with either cause, but is concerned solely with the high purpose of' terminating the sufferings of mankind and the restoration of reason in international relations. From the horror-haunted battlefield of the Somme the appeal went to President Wilson to make the ecumenical gesture, to speak the compelling word, before which a war-weary world would come to its senses. That Christ-like office denied to Mr. Wilson. Has it been assumed by the Pope? Germany's submarines numbered at the beginning of the world war fortyfive, while those of Great Britain and the United States numbered ninetyseven and seventy-five.

From player to "fan Fatimas are the champion. At the ball parks in 9 out of the 11 Big League cities, Fatima's sales are considerably ahead of any other high-grade cigarette. These men like Fatima's fine flavor. They like the comfort to throat and tongue. But most of all they are glad it is not necessary to "keep score" on the number of Fatimas they smoke. Fatimas are so sensible that you, too, will stick to them.
