NEWS REVIEW OF THE^AST WEEK Wilson Tells Pope Peace With German Autocracy Cannot Be Considered.

MISER NOT TO BE TRUSTED Praatoenfa Sweeping Embargo Proclamation a Severe Blow to loo Teutons — Rwadara n Council Agree to Continue War— Italian! Keep Up Drive on Trieste. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. Therr can be no peace with the emperor of Germany and tbr German autocracy becanae 00 reliance can he ploi-ed on tbelr plcdcc* uuleaa eiVlicltly rapported by Ux will of the German people* tbemaelrea. Such U t be flat of Frraldent WII•ot a reply the pope rejecting. 00 behalf of the United State* the pence proposal made by hi* holiness, t; war delivered at the Vatica . Toeaday acd wa» regarded aa th? reply of all •be nation* leagued against tje centra! itowera. Mr. Wilson's note Is the climax of the series of magnlficen' state documents in which be has aet forth the claims of world democracy and Is another stirring Indlr.tnent of the autocratic government .if Germany. It asserts that peace on the terms proposed by the pope would only give Germany time to recuperate for a renewal of Its “furious and brutal" policy by whlct It seeka to domln.tr the world; would tuakr necessary a permanent hostile com hi nation of nations against the German people, and would result “In abandoning the new-horn Russia to the Intrigue, the mamfold subtle Intrrferctice. and the certain countrr-rrvo.utlor. whl'-h would be at-.{etnp|.-d by all the malign Influences to which the Gennsn government has of late accustomed the world.” Again tbr r-residiDt makes It dear that America Is maklna war without (irwlrr for gain or revenge, and does not seek the trfllrtion of pmdtire dntnages. tbe dlamcmtM-rment of empires the es tabllshment of selfish and exrlustvi economic leagues: but be says no man. ho nation could depend on trestles or agreements made by the present German poveroruenf and "we mnst await some new evidence of ihe purposes of ihe great people* of the central ptVWiTs." German People See the Light. It ts thus made evident that a great change in Germany'* form of government. Involving th*- fall of autocracy. Is requisite to peace negotiations, and that the German people themselves are l» coming convinced of this Is shown by tbt developments of the wt—k In their struggle for democratlKslIor and Iwrllnmetitarism. Not stm-v the war began has there been such frredotn of speech and of the pres* as now exists, and correspondents report that tb*rc Is now n solid pollricwl Mock tn the relrhsiag In favor of effective guantn-1-mger shall makt vtial .!e. ;»i,ms with j

A large number of commodities are added to those named In the original embargo order. Including fats of all kinds, other foods, construction materials and other articles necessary to tike successful prosecution of the •var by this government; also gold, bullion, currency and evidences of Indebtedness—this in order to conserve the Immense store of gold that has been accumulated by the United Btatas In the Iasi three years. In a statement accom.ianylng the order the president aald: “The purpose and effe-t of this proclamation la not export prohibition, but merely export control It not the Intention to Interfere unnecesuirtly with our foreign trade, but nor own domestic needs must be adequately safeguarded and lhere Is the added duty of meeting the necessities of all the nations at war with the Imperial German government. “After these needs are met It is our wish and Intention to minister to the needs of the neutral nations as far at our own resources permit. This toak will be discharged without other than the very proper qualification that the liberation of our surplus products shall not be made the occasion of benefit to the enemy, either directly or In-

directly.”

Kerensky Wins Support. The Russian national «>uncll In session in Muscow- promises a: least to clarify the si nit Ion there and definitely line up the forces that are striving to gain control tn 'he new republic. Premier Kerensky admittedly Ir anxious as togbe future, but has stated flatly and fearlessly the position of the government of which he U the head and leading spirit. He warned those who tbougl.v tbr time had come to overthrow the revolutionary power with arms that his patience had Its limits and that those who went beyond them would have t« settle with a “government that will make them remember the time of ctardom.” He

eontlnbcd:

“We sbal! he Implacable, because w;v are convinced that supreme power alone ran assure the salvation of the country. That Is why I shall oppose energetically all attempt* to take advantage of Russia's national misfortunes. and whatever ultimatum is presented. I shall subject tt to the su 1>rente power-nsx) to myself. Its head.” Then came Commander In thief Komi loir wtrtj a denmatte speech In which he declared that restoration of the death |*etutlty. stern discipline and unlimited supplies were necessary to restore the morale and fighting spirit In the n miles. General Kaledin*--, lender of the lv«i Cossacks, followed with a resolution adopted by the Cossacks demanding, for ihe sclvatlon of the country, the contlnnatton of the war In close union with the allies until complete Victory was attained. These and other speeches checked the plans of the disnmteot.sl. and the leaders of all factlot.* mailed In d»clarations that Russia must continue the war and that everything possllde simial government.

| have# shown the determination and ability to go forward, the alarmed Austrian comjminder* are hurrying great nmebers of troops to the fighting lines and their mdstance is Increasing. Some of the heaviest fighting of the week look place on the Balnslaaa plateau. where the Italians pushed steadily eastward toward the Upper Gar'll'’In 1 Harder and Laihr.ch. At the amme time Cndorna's men have I aero making considerable progress In their qjlvgnce on Trieste on the Carso front, though details of this murement were withheld by the ItaUan war office. On Wednesday It was reported that practically all civilians bud evacuated Tri-

este.

The German crown prince has been keeping up his continual counter attack’s on the French in the Verdun sector and on the Atsne front, but bas been repulsed In every Instance, losing great numlaers In killed, wounded and especially prisoners. The scene of blond!en fighting *l«out Verdun shifted tn the east hank of the Meuse, where the village of Reaumont waa tbe cenof desnerate combstx At Dead 1 hhl. also, the Germans made repeated attempt* to regain tbe positions they had lost. With bulldog tenacity tbe British hung on to parts of Lens they had captured. and 'nnsolldsted them despite almost dally and nightly attacks by Crown I’rlnre Rappeecht's forcta.

The advance of the Germans In Roomanla.

Perhaps they cannot keep the fne nut of southern Russia, but even so tbe possession of that fertile region would help Ihe German* little berauac of the wretched transportation facilities westward.
