rains fell yesterday and during the

Rome, Dec. 21.—In the hope of al-
leviating the discomforts of prisoners
of war and the anxiety of their rela-
tives at home, Pope Benedict has in-
structed all bishops in dioceses where-
in are military prisoners to appoint
one or more priests who are ac-
quainted with the languages spoken
by the Imprisoned soldiers. These
priests will be Instructed not only to
offer spiritual counsel, but so far as
possible to look after the material
welfare of the prisoners. Particular
efforts will be made to discover
whether the prisoners have commu-
nicated with their families and if they
have not done so to persuade them
to send word Immediately. In cases
where prisoners are unable to write
letters the priests will perform this
service for them. They also will use
every effort to see that such letters
are sent home safely.

STRIKE, IS THREAT.
CHICAGO, Dec. 21.—Arguments at
today's session of the railway wage
arbitration board, over efficiency tests
imposed In connection with "safety
first," brought from Warren S. Stone
and William S. Carter, representing
the men, threats that if certain feat-
ures of the tests objectionable to the
men were not eliminated by the arbi-
tration the men would strike.
The witnesses today, all firemen,
Included O. F. Modenbach of El Reno,
Okla., employed by the Rock Island,
and E. O. Livesay of Denison, Texas,
employed by the Missouri, Oklahoma
and Gulf.
Carter, who questioned the men,
was very brief In an endeavor to ex-
pedite the proceedings. The wit-
nesses told generally stories of men
laid off and promotion deferred by
the advent of heavy engines, of long
hours and scant pay, the latter Im-
paired by expenses ^vhen away from
home. Stevens calculated that this
expense would average $30 a month.
The strike threat came after W. L.
Park, vice president of the Illinois
Central and a member of the board
of arbitration, had read a long state-
ment, mostly quoting from an Inter-
state commerce commission report,
declaring that he would require a pre-
ponderance of evidence as to the dan-
ger of "surprise tests" before he
would vote to eliminate the test, as
requested by tlj^ men.
He said the tests were made neces-
sary because the commission had re-
ported that 52 out of 81 accidents in
which there was loss of life, occurred
because employes disregarded signals
or company rules. Thirteen of these
accidents, he said, occurred despite
the automatic signal system.
Stone and Carter both declared that
they had been promised time and
again that unfair tests would be elim-
inated, but that the promises were
disregarded.
"If the courts cannot protect us and
the board cannot, the united strength
of the men will," declared Carter.
"The practices of which we complain
are condemned by the rules of the
railroads themselves, but they con-
tinue. It should not be said that
the Interstate commerce commission
countenances these tests and I will, if
necessary, produce a disclaimer from
the commissioners."
The men complained that the tests
are made in such a way that they
frighten the engine crews to a degree
Inimical to health and sometimes re-
sult in their leaping from their en-
gines.

Joilet, III., Dec. 21.—Twelve hun-
dred convicts of the state penitentiary

ing, threatened the dining hall. The

NO AGREEMENT REACHED.
Shipping Controversy Between Eng-
land and America Unsettled.
London, Dec. 21.—It can be stated
positively that no definite agreement
has been reached whereby England
will refrain from searching ships
which leave American ports with
statements from English consuls that
they are carrying no contraband.
England is willing to accept such
statements In cases In which there Is
no reason to believe that the cargoes
may have been augmented at sea.
The long negotiations between Eng-
land and America, however, have re-
sulted in no positive agreement or un.
derstanding between the two coun-
tries.
The foreign office Is eager to pre-
vent unnecessary delays and Is willing
that American shippers have their
cargoes examined by authorized
agents designated by British consuls,
provided they desire to do so and
America approves such examinations.
But England makes no guarantee that
under such circumstances cargoes
will be exempt from further Inspection
If deemed necessary by the admiralty.
It Is stated authoritatively that
consul Inspections In most cases woul<}
expedite shipments greatly as the
number of suspected cargoes la com-
paratively small. Earlier in the war
copper and other contraband were
loaded underneath coal or heavy
freight making Inspection extremely
difficult and necessitating virtually a
complete shifting of the cargo. Where
bulky articles of contraband are trans-
ferred at sea from one ship to another
It Is Impossible to conceal them be-
neath the entire cargo and conse-
quently It would be an easy matter to
make a supplemental examination In
the cases of vessels whose original
cargoes contained no contraband.

fihder read the advertisement and re-
turned it.
The reason why the couple declined
to reveal their identity, It was said at
the hotel, was that they did not want
to give their relatives an opportunity
to scold them for carelessness.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Jl.—Direct
steamship service between New York
and Vladivostok, Siberia, by way of
the Panama canal, already has begun
and two steamers have passed through
the canal with general manufactured
goods and merchandise. The new
line Is 10,100 miles long, but is 3,000
miles shorter than the route from New
York to Vladivostok by way of the
Sues canal. Consequently a ten-knot
vessel saves 12 1-2 days at sea.
The beginning of a new trade be-
tween Peru and England by way of
the canal Is indicated In the passage
through the waterway of two ateam-
ships laden with raw 6ugar, the first
shipments through the canal of whole
cargoes of sugar from Peru.
The Panama canal authorities have
announced the cable address "Isth-
mian, Balbao Heights," as sufficient
for any cable messages concerning
steamship business with the Panama
canal.
In deference to protests from ship-
ping interests, the canal authorities
have decided to waive the require-
ments that vessels furnish copies of
their manifest when passing through
the canal. The practice of the Sues
canal requiring only a general state-
ment of cargo will be followed.

FRENCH MILITARY OPERATIONS.
Ministerial Statement to Be Read In
Parliament Today.
Paris, Dec. 21.—The ministerial
declaration on the military, which will
be read tomorrow upon the re-openr
lng of parliament, is understood to be
unusually brief, as now prepared,
sketching the situation only in out-
line. Many members of parliament
desire to question the government In
detail concerplng various phases of
the military operations. It Is quite
likely that a secret session will be de-
manded so that the confidential Infor-
mation may be communicated. The
cabinet discussed this subject today
and apparently it is willing to have
parliament take any course it chooses
concerning secret sessions.
The various party groups held meet-
ings today to determine what atti-
tude they should take. The expecta-
tion is that the session will be a busi-
ness like one and that party feelings
will be eliminated.
Paul Deschamel, president of the
chamber of deputies, who was Injured
in an automobile accident a week ago,
has recovered sufficiently to preside
at tomorrow's session. Antonln Du-
bost, president of the senate, will pre-
side over that body.
Chile Files Protest.
Washington, Dec. 21.—-After a
searching investigation of the active
list of the German fleet in the South
Pacific recently, the government of
Chile has made formal protest to Ger-
many against alleged violations of
neutrality by the German navy In
Chilean waters.
The protest transmitted by the
Chilean minister at Berlin sets forth
that the German ships prior to their
successful engagement with , Rear
Admiral Cradock's British squadron,
stayed as long as five days In one
Island owned by Chile and trans-
ferred supplies at another small Island
after a stay of seven days.
The protest is understood to be
couched in vigorous language de-
manding reparation from Germany.
At the same time tbe Chilean govern-
ment has protested to Great Britain,
charging that the British cruiser
Glasgow, recently took msll from
vessels In Chilean waters.

Ratifkartlen Delayed.
Washington, DOec. 21.—Absence of
leading members of the foreign rela-
tions committee, including Senator
Stone, chairman, prevented any ac
tlve move in tha senate today, to bring
about reconsideration of the resolu-
tion ratifying the London safety at sea
convention adopted last week.
Several members of the foreign re-
lations committee said tonight that
they did not believe the senate would
reconsider its action, particularly In
view of the fact that relations, under
the terms of the convention, must be
reported and executed by Decemebr 31
lof this year.
