POPE'S PEACE TALK IOXDOX, Aug. 15. Tho Daily News thinks it fuirly clear that the tMipc's appeal wan really inspired by Austria, but maintains that if his holiness can really persuade the bel- igercnts to state their conditions in concreto terms he will confer a very great, if belated, blessing, on mnn- ind, and if be can further persuade Germany to declare its willingness to restore the mdcciidenco of Belgium, Serbia nnd Rumania nnd withdraw from other invaded territories, the door to pence -will be open, and n blank refusal by the ullies to nego tiate on such a basis would be almost unthinkable. The Daily News does not comment editorially, but in un introduction in ts news columns says the pope's proposals arc impossible nnd that the ebenic is really Aiistro-Gernian. "Utterly Inadmissible." -The Times, while suspending final judgment until the text is available, says the proposals ns described in the telegraph summaries, are "uttor- ly inadmissible by the allies." It expresses astonishment nt the vnti all's alleged hope that the document would be favorably received and lead to the not-distant end of the' war. To cherish any hope of this," snys the paper, "bf trays a complete gnorancc of opinion oi nil he en tente countries and the United States. They have all stated plain- the only terms whereon they are prepared to consider pence. These enns are cpnto incompatible with the telegraphed version of the Vatican's proposals and there is not the slight est prospect thnti the allies will re nounce or abate them. The whole tenor of tho document bears the marks of German inspection." The Post, expressing sunilar viows; says : Instigated by Germany. ' "To listen to n compromise before a guarantee is secured ngainst a reiH-tition of the ordcnl tlirn which civilization is passing is to betray all sacrifice nnd suffering that have been endured. If the Vatican really is optimistic nboiit tho reception of proposals, the Vatican shows that it is entirely out of touch with the sentiment of the ullies." The Post, taking it for granted that tho proposals nre. instigated by Germany and reuufrking that they de cided in advance on nnything Ger many has hitherto been disposed to discuss, attributes hot anxiety for an immedinto negotiated peace to a realization that the continuance of tho war will give her much less than a negotiated pence might give, and ndds that Germany nffected to be lieve tbc Vnited States ns a belliger ent did not count, but Hint illusion has already been shattered.

The cutting of spruce lumber In the for ests of Washington and Oregon, which ultimately will be used In the construction of the nation's huge fleet of airplanes, began today when two camps in southewestern Wash ington and one In northern Oregon resumed operations, . according to Robert B. Allen, .secretary of the West Coast Lumbermen's association. Each of the three camps is capable of cutting 100,000 feet of timber dally, Mr. Allen says. In general the lumber situation is easier. Mr. Allen stated. He said sev eral of the mills which resumed work Monday now were working to nearly capacity. The possibility of the timber work ers' strike extending to Oregon threatened today when It became known that Jay G. Brown, president of the International Shingle Weavers' union, has gone to Portland tor the express purpose of organizing the mills and camps of Oregon. "I shall take up the work of or ganizing the employes of tho mills and camps In Oregon," Brown is re ported to have said Just before lcav- ng here for Portland.
