Washington Officialdom Regards Mot* as Sounding the Doom of Hohenzollernlsm. Washington, Aug. 81. -- President Wilson's rejecting the pope's peace proposals was regarded here as finally settling the question of dealing with present German rulers, unconquered or uncurbed at home. The president makes It clear that a lasting and dur­ able peace can be negotiated only on a complete understanding with the Ger­ man people, and not alone on unstable guaranties of the existing government. Telegrams from all parts of the country began to pour into the White House approving President Wilson's reply to Pope Benedict's peace propos­ als. Upon motion of Senator Brady, who characterized it as a last farewell to the autocracy of the world, Presldenc Wilson's reply to the pope's peace pro­ posals was' ordered printed ki the Con­ gressional Record. "WTiile it rejects the pope's propos­ als," said he, "it points the way for the other nations to reach a peace In a fair and honorable manner." President Wilson's reply met vlth appreciation at the Russian embassy. "The reply of th£ United States to the pope's peace note," It was said at the embassy, "seems to us Russians to be an act of highest political wisdom and closely corresponds to the prin­ ciples and aims of the Russian people as formulated in the declarations of the Russian provisional government. "The inspiring expressions of this document have once more outlined the fundamental aims pursued in this war by the league of democratic nations. "The statement President Wilson made Is to facilitate to the German people their entrance in the path of democratic revival and gives a thrill­ ing anticipation of the final, triumph of democracy and justice throughout the world. "Militarism and the Imperialistic aims of the German ruler have thus received a new and powerful blow.4' JAP TROOPS SENT TO RUSSIA?

I.--In disap­ proving a proposal by Representative Shousc of Kansas that all'men en­ gaged In agricultural pursuit last March be exempted from military ser­ vice, President Wilson wrote the con­ gressman that a class exemption would lead to "many difficulties and many heartburnings." - Representative Shouse responded to the president's letter with the declara­ tion that much of the Kansas wheat crop would not be In on October 1 and that the labor situation in that state was critical. - ~-*The latest order, which, was Issued by the war department on Thursday, amplifies the instruction announced last week. It says : "Thex object of calling 5 per cent Is to place in the camps enough men to form it skeleton organization to assist in receiving and assimilating the large contingents. For this reason it is re­ quired that local boards send only white men, and, so far as practicable, that they send men with some nfllitary experience, or cooks. "In making this selection order numbers are not controlling, but great care must be taken not to send men whose order of call is so late that they will not be within, the quota of th» boards. The careful selection of these men will be of great assistance to the orderly organization of the National army, and it is hoped that local boards will act with this end in view. "In order that it may not be neces­ sary to make any special railway ar­ rangements and to prevent a conges­ tion of normal railway traffic, local boards should be Instructed to send approximately 1 per cent of their quotas on each of five consecutive days, beginning September 5. "Since no special traffic arrange­ ments are necessary, the adjutant gen­ eral of the state may leave to the local boards the routing of their men, re­ quiring such boards to send the small dally groups by the shortest usually traveled route to the mobilization camps. ' "Practically HI that will be ordinar­ ily necessary is for the local boards to select their men, call them to millt&ry duty, provide for their subsistence and lodging and transportation and dis­ patch them by the shortest practicable 'route to the mobilization camp."
