The United States government is prepared to listen to any bona-fide peace offer, but it must insure the consummation of the objects for which America entered the war. Experts see in the Pope's move the influence of his conference with the Austrian dignitaries who were shortly after wards closeted with the German Chan cellor in Vienna. The Allied diplo mats here believe that the war is des tined to last at least another year. It is stated that the Pope's effort is like that of the European Socialists, and will prove merely another step forward in eventually concluding the jrreat struggle.

HEARLY, (United Press Staff Correspondent) ROME. Specific, concrete conditions, which His Holiness, Pope Benedict believes may form the basis of a world's peace, have been forwarded to the rulers of all ,the warring nations. , Th ePope, in outlining these conditions make a; new general appeal for the restoration of peace, and addresses them to neutrals as well as belli gerents. They are understood to be somewhat general in form, but of such a nature as to form the groundwork for a more detailed discussion. The appeal of the Pope, together with the con ditions which he presents for the consideration of the world will be published tonight in the Ob servatore Romano, the official organ of the Vati can. It is broadly understood that the proposed conditions include the restoration of all conquer ed independent states, and the amicable adjust ment of the control of all territory in dispute. This restoration of conquered independent states would include Belgium, Roumania, and Serbia. The adjustment of territory in dispute includes Alsace-Lorraine, Poland, the territory around Trieste and Trent which has long been the cause of hostile feeling between Italy and Austria. .

In fact, all of the maneuvers were executed with a smoothness that would do credit to older and more ex perienced troops.

At present the essential equipment is guns, a kettle drum and a bugle. Last night committees were appoint ed and they will call on the people of .Greenville and Pitt county for sub scriptions in a few days. If you want to maintain the com pany show it by making a liberal con tribution. If you don't want the com pany you can show that also by with holding your support. The names of the committee will be published in tomorrow's papers. The name and amount contributed by everyone will be published and every penny contributed will be ac counted lov and its expenditure shown to the public.
