POPE ABANDONS
ARMISTICE PLAN
British Newspapers Say Plan is Im
practicable and Would Result
in Disorganizing Forces.
ROME, Nov. 29.—It Is announced
that Pope Benedict has abandoned his
plan to have the belligerent nations
of Europe declare an armistice of 10
days to cover the Christmas holidays.
It is understood that the plan was
coldly received by Emperor William
on behalf of the Teutonic allies and
that the Italian government refused
to consider the proposition.
Many of the British and French
newspapers commenting on the plan
of Pope Benedict, declare that it is
impractical as the men at the front
and in the trenches would naturally
wish to spend the holidays with rela
tives in England, and the forces
would thus become disorganized.
Alameda Expected Anytime.
The Alameda left Cordova at 10
o’clock" this forenoon and is due to
reach Valdez shortly after 4 o'clock
this evening.

Effective December 1.
A new regulation goes into effect
on December 1 whereby night mes
sages may be sent over the govern
ment cable and land lines under the
same conditions as now prevail over
the lines of the Western Union and
Postal Telegraph companies.
The stipulation is made that all
night' messaged must be in English;
no code words being allowed. In ev
ery other way the messages will be
subject to the same regulations as
sending night messages in the states.
It is announced that the sending
blanks will be the same, as the check
In the office will indicate the char
acter of the service desired.
The night service will extend to
all telegraph stations in Alaska and
will permit of sending a night mes
sage of fifty words for $2.40, the
3harge for sending ten words during
the day. The rate for additional
words beyond fifty will be charged
at the rate of one-fifth for ten words.
There will be no change in the rate
on press "messages. The night letter
service has attained tremendous pro
portions in the states, many business
men preferring to use the service
-ather than wait for the mails.. The
messages are transmitted during the
night and are delivered early each
morning. Code words are not per
mitted as the messages are not re
peated.
ALAMEDA LOADED COPPER
ORE AT CORDOVA
The steamer Alameda, of the Alas
ka Steamship Company, was in Cor
dova yesterday, having towed the
steamer Dora from Seldovia to Cor
dova for repairs. While in the rail
road town the steamer took on a car
go of copper ore and will go direct to
Juneau from Valdez. It is reported
from Cordova that the repairs to the
Dora will be made in a few days
when she will be enabled to proceed
on her long journey to the westward.
It is reported that despite the fact
that every boat going south carries
ore from Cordova tfiat the railroad
company is experiencing difficulty in
storing fresh' shipments from the
mines until steamers arrive to carry
it to the smelter.
NATION-WIDE MISSION IS
AUTHORIZED BY CONVENTION
The nation-wide mission which is

United States' is ’founded upon the
following resolution passed at the
last general convention, which repre
sents all the states in the Union.
“Whereas, Our age calls in no un
certain way for a revival of the pro
phetic ministry, and a re-emphasis
upon the certain and unchanging
words of eternal truth that pertains
Lo salvation; and
"Whereas, A new accent needs to
be placed upon the essential solidar
ity as well as the broad catholicity
of a Church that witnesses to and
seeks to promote faith and order;
thereforfe, be it
“Resolved; the House of Bishops,
concurring, That this Church in gen
eral convention assembled registers
its desire and will to undertake a
preaching mission of nation-wide
proportions, that in its scope shall be
inclusive of the Church at large, and
whose sole purpose and aim shall be
the salvation of men through Him
whose Name is above every name.”
