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.
