O. ELKS Brothers: You are request- i ed to attend the funeral service of our late brother, WILLIAM J. THALL, false interpretations of the President's note to the Pope can do much mischief. Washington The United States do not make It a condition of peace with the German people that the Kaiser shall abdicate. Such an interpretation does not represent the spirit and thought that the President, wished to publish to the Pope and through him to the German people.

"Certain circles in Washington have received this impression, circles that one can say know something of the President's mode of thought, and of his manner of expressing them. One has the feeling that much mischief can be done in Germany through interpretations that can fairly easily be made out of the President's message to the Pope and exceeding it. to the effect that 'the Kaiser must go the Hohenzollerns must "This, one believes, will affect adversely the deep Impression that the note might have in Germany. "These misleading interpretations, doubtless by cable, as has happened in many earlier occasons, will pervert the President's real purpose and meaning. Of course, people in the State Department and in the White House are taking care.

One fears, however, that when in this land the answer to the Pope is so interpreted by people who do not hesitate to use such means, the thought can easily be inoculated into the German people that this interpre-taton Is America's own version of the President's purposes, and that the interpretation is correct. In that case, the intent of the President will be destroyed." The Brooklyn Freie Presse has an editorial entitled "A No That Can Mean Yes," on the President's message to the Pope. "The answer which our President made to the peace proposals of the Pope has brought peace significantly nearer. For although the note from Washington at the first glance appears to be a rejection, it is really a consent to negotiate, except that these negotiations should not be with a government that In the eyes of its opponents possesses no responsibility, and can never win again the lost confidence of the world. "The answer of the President Is a refusal to deal the present authorities in Germany, but not a refusal of the Pope's peace proposals.

The American government, like every other scrupulous government, is ready to make an end as quickly as possible to this terrible war, in case this can be done conditions that would guarantee a lasting peace and not merely lead to an armistice or to the renewal of the fearful slaughter. "If these guarantees can be found, then the beginning of negotiations with the opponents Is possible. If only the German people will seize the reins of government and the guidance of its own destinies, then America can think of the creation of peace treaties with the enemy. For a peace with the military autocracy of Oerniany Is Impossible in a country that holds this autocracy responsible for the war. But a peace with the German people will be welcome in a land that has learned to treasure the virtues of this people, and that was bound with ties of traditional friendship.

But in order to bring about such a peace, the German people must first produce the evidence that they are ready for peace and ready also to guarantee that peace." fcaturday evening, September 1917, o'clock, at his late residence, 1B62 Flatbush av (Flatbush av trolley to Nostrand av).

HENDRICKSON Entered into rest -x Saturday, September 1. 1917, Some of the German papers are now busy trying to discover the minimum of democracy that will be accepted as a "reformed" Germany. Under the title "The People's Will," the following appears on the editorial page of the Staats Zeltung (New York) for Friday: 'We cannot take the word of the present rulers of Germany as a guarantee of anything that is to endure, unless explicitly supported by such conclusive evidence of the will and purpose of the German people themselves' from Wilson's note. "On July 26, it was announced from Berlin 'The conference of directors of free miners of Germany, meeting today in Berlin, has sent to 'Vorwaerts' the following unanimous resolution. 'The mine workers of Germany view with pleasure the fact that the Reichstag, in its vote of July 19, declared Itself, in the name of the German people, as favoring a negotiated peace.

In the entire membership represented by the mine workers the will to end the war quickly through the agreements of the people concerned, finds not only unanimous approval, but also finds the workers of Germany ready and decided to set all their strength toward the speedy reaching of this "The Reichstag, the workers, the people this guarantee the President requires, and this guarantee Germany is willing to give." The New Yorker Herold devotes considerable of its front page space to an article in English on the Constitution of the German Empire, evidently trying to make out the German system of government as one of parliamentary control, and minimizing the influence which Prussia has. The article is in answer to a letter asking Information as to the powers of the Bundesrat, in contrast to the Reichstag, and its undemocratic composition, dominated by Prussia. The answer likens the Bundesrat to the Senate, and the Reichstag to the House of Representatives, but does not point out any of the fundamental differences, such as the originating of bills and the control of finances. It also states in emphatic type that Prussia has but 17 out of 58 votes in the Bundesrat, but neglects to mention that Prussia can dictate enough additional to give her practical control. It is shown, however, that the declaration of war was formally decided by a committee of eight of the Bundesrat.

The questioner also asks as to the voting system, and particularly the plural voting systems of Germany, and asks if the same conditions do not prevail in England and Canada. This question is not answered, but the statement is made that there Is no property qualification required for voters on Reichstag membership. The New Yorker Staats Zeitung of Friday devotes two front page columns to an article showing that Wilson does not demand the Kaiser to abdicate. "Abdication of Ihe Kaiser not a Peace Condition In Governmental circles, declares Wiegnnd, such a demand is not considered Friends of the President are of the opinion that BROOKLYN'S ROLL OF HONOR The following enlistments were reported today: ARMY Edwin 3.

URGES NEW DRAWING FOR BALLOT PLACES Lazansky Prefers It Owing to Objections of Humphrey and Dowling. Edward Lazansky, one of the throe organization candidates for Supremo Court nominations on the Democratic ticket, today urged that a new drawing for placer on the ballot be allowed in view of the complaints of County Judge Burt J. Humphrey of Queens and George J.

S. Dowling of Brooklyn, that the first drawing had been irregular because they had received no notice of when it was to be held. By the original drawing Lazansky, Justice Kelly and Richard S. Newcombe, the organization designees, drew the choice places on the primary ballot and Humphrey and Dowling drew the tall end positions. Both claimed that, they had not received notice from the Secretary of State of the date of the drawing In time to attend it at Albany, and instituted mandamus proceedings to force a new drawing.

The writ Inillat. ing this action was granted by Justice Aspinall In Brooklyn Wednesday end is to be argued today before Justice Hasbrourk at Kingston. Attorney General Merton E. Lewis Is to represent Secretary of State Hugo and It was to Lewis that Lazansky directed his appeal. Lewis had previously notified Lazansky by mall of the action pending.

"Your letter states," said Laifri-sky, addressing Lewis, "that the election clerk In the Secretary of State's office made out the notices and placed them In the mailing basket, whence they were taken in due course, but because no record was made of trie mailing the Secretary of State is not in a position to produce an affidavit of mailing. "Since, however, tho petitioners deferring to Humphrey and Dowlim;) allege that they did not receive a hn-tice of the drawing as required by law, for my part I prefer that a new drawing be had, there may be no question as to the technical of Om procedure.1' Goes Ahead Wih Plans in Campaign for Borough Presidency.

"The committee will call a meeting within a few days," said O'Loughlin, "and then a platform will be formulated, and it will then be decided how our ticket will be made up, whether it will contain candidates for any other office and who they will be." "Will you oppose Judge Hylan as well as some of the local candidates on the Democratic ticket?" O'Loughlin was asked. "Personally. I have no fault to find with Judge Hylan," was the Register's answer. "Do you think it would embarrass you with your friends to favor Mc-Cooey's candidate for Mayor and oppose his candidate for Borough President?" Will Run on His Record. "It is not a question whose candidate anyone might be.

I believe that because of my service in public office and the record I have made as Register am entitled to the higher, though not so well paid, office of Borough President. The Democratic leaders gave me the gate instead of the nomination, so I am asking the people of Brooklyn to make me Borough President, and I shall go before them on my record." ''The fact that your nominating petitions contained only your name gave rise to a report that the ticket of the League would contain only yourself," the Register was told. "That report was wrong," he replied. "There will be a meeting of the League's committee soon and then that question will be decided. It may be decided to have a full borough and county ticket and It may not.

I cannot now predict what the members of the League will do." From all of which It can be readily seen that the Register's hands are still free to work any way he chooses in order to land the borough presidency for himself. It was suggested to the Register that he was "marking time" to give the McCooey committee on vacancies a chance to stick his name on the regular Democratic ticket. "You won't have to wait till 2 o'clock for that answer," he said, laughing at what he thought was a humorous question. "There's nothing to that at all. My plans wait for nobody." Edmund O'Connor, commissioner of records, O'Loughlin's second and aid In the drive of the People's Non-Partisan League towards Borough Hall, was asked: "Do you think the elimination of Hearst will hurt O'Loughlin's chances?" O'Connor Thinks Hearst Will Help O'Loughlin.

"On the contrary, I think the retirement of Mr. Hearst will help him." he said. "I know that Mr. Hearst will support O'Loughlin and to do that would cause the editor some embar-rsasment if he were at the head of the Democratic ticket, for he would have to knock his own running mate on the Brooklyn borough ticket. As things are now, Mr.

Hearst is free to help anyone he chooses and to smash where ever he wants to. The only thing definitely settled in the program of the ePopIe's Non-Partisan League Is that O'Loughlin will be its candidate, for Borough President. The committee has agreed on that and what the rest of the program will be depends on what the situation is when the time for action arrives." 3 OBITUARY MR 3, HILDA SWKXFON, wife of Alfred Swenson, died yesterday at her homo, 171 Fourteenth avenue.

WRIGHT In loving memory of JAMES WRIGHT, who died Septem- President's Action in Fixing Price of Wheat Not Likely to Change Bread Cost. COXSENSCS OP WHOLESALERS. 12-Ounce Loaf for 7 Cents Will ProB-. ably Hold for Winter, HUdcbrand Asserts. There seems to be no possibility of a 5-cent loaf of bread this winter, despite President Wilson's action In fixing the price of wheat at $2.20 bushel.

This was the consensus of opinion bf wholesale bakers here today. John F. Hlldebrand, head of th Shults Bread Company, said today that he saw no chance of a B-cent loaf with flour at Its present price. He was not prepared to say what tha minimum cost of a loaf would be. "We are selling bread at 6 cents a loaf," he said, "and It Is resold by the retail trade at 7 cents.

That is a 12-ounce loaf. Before the war a B-cent loaf contained 14 ounces. That was when flour was Sf and $6 a barrel. Now it is 111 and $12. "I think the 7-cent loaf will hold at that price, but it is so small that people prefer the 10-cent loaf." At the olfices of the General Baking Company the following statement was made last night: "A B-cent loaf cannot be made out of flour from wheat at $2.20 a bushel.

We wholesale bakers are entirely upset in our calculations by the move of the Government in fixing the price of wheat in 1917 at $2.20 a bushel. We had expected the price would be set at approximately $1.80 a bushel, and wo had been doing our figuring accordingly. "Even with wheat at $1.80 a bushel, a B-cent loaf is out of the question. There is one thing the public does not realize, namely, that the present loaf of bread Is based on a lower price for flour than has prevailed in the market during the past sixty days. In that time much bread has been made at a loss, owing to the increased cost of flour.

"The public has heard much of the miller's side of the wheat problem, but the baker's side has not been presented. We have the facts in our books and we are ready to make them public at any time in the interests of fair play. "The millers' price for flour averages today $11 to $11.25 a barrel. Wheat has been down recently as low as $2.12 a bushel. At nresent nrican for flour the Government has assured a sale profit for the millers.

With wheat at $2.20 a bushel, the millers are not likely to jump flour above its present price." JAP SAILORS RESCUED Seward, Alaska, September 1 Chief Officer K. M.

Court Asked to Sot Aside Rnling, Which Was to Have Been Accepted Without Question. The New York Sanitary Utilization Company, In control of Barren Island, has begun suit in the New York County Supreme Court against the New York Disposal Corporation for the recovery of $129,406, claimed as due under a lease which expired December 31, 1916.

The complaint, by Frederick L. Cranford, president, sets forth that the Sanitary Utilization Company made a lease with the defendant concern for the use of Barren Island and the plant on It, together with the use of animals, for $200,000 a year. The New York 1 Disposal Corporation was to expend at least $75,000 for repairs. At the expiration of the lease a dispute arose as to whether the New York Disposal Corporation had complied with that provision. Failing to reach an agreement, Charles Edger-ton of Philadelphia was selected as an arbitrator, whose ruling was to be accepted without question.

Bdgerton made an Inspection of the plant, and in his report stated as his final judgment that the plant was In much better physical condition than at the beginning of the lease, and that both parties had carried out thej provisions of the lease; that settlements' should be made upon that basis, and that all the payments from one party to the other should be made as provided. Edgerton made his report early in January, while he was In Florida, but his conclusions did not satisfy the New York Sanitary Utilization Company, for the complaint which has Just been filed in the Supreme Court asserts that he filed the report before he had re ceived all the testimony that the New York Utilization Company was prepared to offer. The plaintiff asserted that Mr. Edg erton had been notified that its ex perts had showed that the plant was in very bad condition, and that to repair it would take the amount asked In the suit. The Supreme Court was asked to set aside the report of the arbitrator.

The lease made by the plaintiff with the New York Disposal Corporation was made on October 29, 1913, and was to run for five years from January 1, 1914, with the proviso that the City of New York continued to use the plant for the disposal of Its wastage. Otherwise it was to terminate on De cember SI, 1916. SHOELESSBURGLARS ESCAPE The summer home of Frederick L. Richards at King's Point, Great Neck, was entered by burglars Thursday night and silverware valued at $150 and cash amounting to $125 was stolen. Mr.

The only clew to the thieves Is a line of footsteps leading from the beach to the house. These prints showed that the persons making the footprints wore only socks on their feet.

CUBA ORGANIZES AVIATION UNIT Will Be Offered to France With Equipment for Use in War.

(Special to The Eagle.) Havana, Cuba, September 1 With United States troops shortly to begin a course of winter training in Cuba, and 'with the whole Island acclaiming Pres ident Menocal's attitude In turning over to the Federal Shipping Board In Washington all the German ships which Cuba seized last April, the eyes of the Western world are being turned more and more toward "the pearl of the Antilles," and to the work that Cuba Is doing as an active ally of the United States In the present war. Colonel Manuel Coronado, member of the Cuban Senate and editor of the newspaper La Dlscusion, has organized an aviation unit which will be offered to France, with complete equipment, In the near future. It is probable, from the enthusiasm shown by its ninety-odd members, that the "Esca-drllle Cuhaliio," the flying unit will be called, will be the first body of fighting men from Cuba to servo on French soil. Colonel Coronado's original plans called for a body of twenty-five trained aviators to comprise the escrulrllle, but already nearly one hundred youths, who arc representative of the best families of Cuba, have volunteered to take the proscribed aviation course and Individually to bear the expense of their airplanes anil equipment. Senator Coronado has Just returned from New York, where he conferred with otticlals of the Aero Club of America and airplane manufacturers over the details of the escadrille's organization.

Many of the volunteers for the escadrille are graduates or rrench universities. Three warrant officers have Just arrived on the United States gunboat Tallapoosa, from the tiuantanamo Naval Station, to Join tho other United States instructors here, and to give courses In gunnery to the non-commissioned olllcers of the. Cuban Navy. Special attention Is to be devoted to target practice. The crew of the cruiser Cuba, largest vessel of the Island navy, will be the first to receive instruction.

The ordnnnre of the Cuba was recently replaced lilt United States guns in an American port. Conferences have Just been concluded between Captain Anderson, commanding tho American naval In waters; Brigadier (lenrrttl Edmund Wlttenmyer, military attache assigned to, the American lcgutlon here, who went to New York i.n aid" to (JoiithI Hell, and Cim-, rmiiidc Cnrltnil It, Kear, Instructor at Ctib.ui Nnvnl Academy, representing tho United Stales, and President 'if War and Murine Josjc mid Chief nf Staff Oscur i''trna'nr-i Qtirvado of the Cuban N.iyy.

Labor Day will be a diy of delight to members of Broooklyn's First Cav alry, who are in camp at the Bliss estate, Owl's Head, Bay Ridge, for on that afternoon and evening the eight troops stationed there will be the guests of "the Crescent Athletic Club at its country house, Bay Ridge. The day's program has been arranged by officers of the club in co-operation with Colonel Charles I. DeBevoise, who has belonged to the Crescent Club for a number of years. Many members of the troops, too, also belong. The spacious grounds of the club arid all its athletic facilities will be at the disposal of the troopers during the afternoon.

A baseball game between the Crescent's crack nine and a team representing the cavalry will be the center of interest. And to cheer their home team along, the First Cavalry's band will be there with all Its brasses. The band will also give a concert during the afternoon, under the shady trees on che extensive lawn. The night will be one that will long linger in the memory of the troopers. A dance will be held in their honor, to which the club members have promised to invite all the prettiest girls they know.

But before the dance, there will be a special dinner served to the cavalrymen, quite different, it has been promised, from the plainness and sparseness of camp grub." The dance, however, is the main thing, and to it the troopers are looking forward with great pleasure. There will be much polishing of puttees and scrubbing of uniforms for that occasion, prophets say. The lucky men who are to participate in this eventful day are from and Troops. 1 ANTI-DRAFTERS TAKEN IN MONTREAL Arrested In Connection With Dynamiting of Lord Athel-stan's House.
