Appeal Turned Down Because
Kaiser Cannot Be Trusted?
Imperialism, Unchecked by
Rule of People, Can Produce
No Lasting Peace.
Washington, Aug. 28.?President
Wilson has rejected the pope's peace
proposals.
In a note dispatched last night and
made public here tonight, the president
says that, while every heart not
blinded and hardened by the terrible
war must be touched by the moving
appeal of his holiness, it would be
folly to take the path of peace he
points out if it does not in fact lead
to the goal he proposes.
To deal with such a power as the
present rulers of Germany upon Pope
Benedict's plan, declares the president,
would involve a recuperation of
the strength and renewal of the world
domination policy of that power, now
balked, but not defeated after sweeping.
a continent with the blood of innocent
women and children, and the
helpless poor, as well as of soldiers.
Permanent peace must be based
upon the faith of all the peoples and
upon justice and fairness, and the
common rights of mankind, he adds,
and "we can not take the word of the
present rulers of Germany as guarantee
of anything to endure, unless explicitly
supported by such conclusive
evidence of the will and purpose of
the German people themselves as the
other peoples of the world would be
justified in accepting."
The note of President Wilson in reply
to Pope Benedict's appeal is as
follows:
"To His Holiness:
"Benedictus XV, Pope:
"In acknowledgement of the communication
of your holiness to the belligerent
peoples, dated August 1, 1917,
the president of the United States requests
me to transmit the following
reply:
"Every heart that has not been
. > blinded and hardened by this terrible
' m^ fiI MT ITirr be touched by this moving
Q&afettto.hia holiness, the pope, must
feel the dignity and force of the humane
and generous motives which
prompted it, and must fervently wish
that we might take the path of peace
he so persuasively points out. But it
would be folly to take it if it does not
in fact lead to the goal he proposes.
Our response must be based upon the
stern facts and upon nothing else. It
is not a mere cessation of nrmo Vio An.
sires; it is a stable and enduring
peace. This agony must not be gone
through with again, and it must be a
matter of very sober judgment what
will insure us against it.
"His holiness in substance proposes
that we return to the status quo antebellum,
and that then there be a general
condonation, disarmament and a
concert of nations based upon an acceptance
of the principle of arbitration:
that by a similar concert freedom
of the seas be established; and that
the tertitorial claims of France and
Italy, the perplexing problems of the
Balkan States and the restitution of
Poland he left to such conciliatory adjustments
as may be possible of the
people whose political fortunes and
amiiauons will De involved.
Would Restore Status Quo.
"It is manifest that no part of this
program can be successfully carried
out unless the restitution of the status
quo ante furnishes a firm and satisfactory
basis for it. The obpect of
this war is to deliver the free peoples
of the world from the menace and
the actual power of a vast military
establishment controlled by an irresponsible
government, which, having
secretly planned to dominate the
world, proceeded to carry the plan
out without regard either to the
sacred obligations of treaty or the
long established practices and long
cherished principles of international
law 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 within the
tide of blood?not 1.1 ~ ?i -f ?1
? ? ?i- vug uiuuu ui soldiers
only but the blood of innocent
women and children also and of th*.
helpless people, and now stands balked
but not defeated, the enemy of
four-fifths of the world. This power
is not the German people It is the
ruthless master of the German people.
It is no business of ours how that
great people came under its control or
submitted with temporary .sest to the
domination of its purposes, but if is
our business to see to it that history
of the rest of the world is no longer
left to its handling.
"To deal with such a power by v/ay
of peace upon the plan proposed by
his holiness, the pope, would, so far
as we can see, involve a recuperation
of its strength and a renewal of its
policy; would make it necessary to
create a permanent hostile combination
of nations against the German
people, who are its instruments, and

week. On Sunday morning the boy

NEGROES
ITHERN CAMPS
Almost Certain That War Department
Will Issue Order at
Once Sending Them Elsewhere
For Training?Tennesscans
May Come to Columbia
Washington, Aug. 29.?It has become
practically certain that no negroes
will be sent to Southern camps,
which, of course, includes the camps
in South Carolina. Official announcement
to this effect is expected to bo
made immediately.
Careful investigation made for the
past two days concerning rumors to
the effect that the Florida draft army,
which was scheduled to go to Camp
Jackson, would have its place taken
by Tennessee troops failed today of
confirmation when Provost Marshal
General Crowder said that "officially"
he had no information concerning1 the
matter and that so far as he knew
the original plan would stand.
It is apparent, however, that General
Crowder is expecting orders from
the Department of the Southeast,
which may very materially change
the plans at Camp Jackson, the negro
question being at the bottom of the
matter.
While General C/owder today said
that he did not wish to go into this
pnase ot tne situation, plans might ho
changed, although nothing of the kind
has yet come to his office "officially."
Army officers at Camp Jackson,
Camp NVadsworth and Camp Sevier
are understood to he watching: this
matter closely, in as much as a chance
in the plans at the former camp may
cause some of them to he detailed to
other points than their present locations.
It is known that since it was decided
riot to send the Puerto Ricans
to Camp Jackson, the war department
authorities have been at work rearranging1
plans to make up the requisite
number for Camp Jackson
without too seriously interfering with
the plans of the other camps.
Since no Puerto Ricans are to be
sent to South Carolina a vacancy of
about 12,000 exists whii;h department
officials are now endeavoring to fill,
apparently by the substitution of the
Tennessee mene. As stated, however,
there is nothing official here yet concerning
the matter.
TO MEET FRIDAY.
The patrons of the Adamsburg, Mt.
Tabor and Wesley's chapel schools
will meet Friday. 1 p. m., ai the home
of Mr. dough Palmer to discuss the
advisability of building a four-teacher
graded school to serve the patrons of
these schools.
Mcdonald to leave i*nion\
Mr. .T. W. McDonald, who has been
manager of the MeClure 10c Store at
this p'ace, lias resigned and will accept
a similar position with Kress and
live in Chattanooga, Tenn. Since coming
to Union in January Mr. McDonald
has built up a good trade and
made a host of friends who regret to
see him leave.
APPEAL FOR HELP.
Envoy M. C. l'ettit makes an appeal
through the columns of The
Times to the goo 1 people of Union

needy of the community. He says the

thine* are needed, such as clothes,
provisions, etc., and if you feel kindly
disposed, he can he found at his home
on XT. Mountain street.
Envoy Pettit is conducting a revival
meeting at the tent in front of
the jail and is having large congregations
to hear him.
