ndicated That-Peace Pro
posal Coming From Pope
Would Necessarily Have
. to be Considered Carefully.
(By a?h AsMdatca Prew)
Washington, Aug. 14. An unoflL
eial outline of Pope Benedict's pro
posals received here discloses that the
Pontiff includes some of the princi
ples of 'world peace for which Presi
dent Wilson' has declared. .
Among the Pope's declarations are
reduction of armaments, freedom of
the seas, and there shall be no retal
iatory struggle after the war for
world commercial supremacy. These
are 'regarded as the foundations of
the Pope 's plans.
The Pope s proposal declares that the
Injuries to all Itelllgerents have been
so great that there should be no
thought for reparation except the re
turn of territory.
Included In the return of territory,
the Pope's proposal Insists there should
be returned to Germany all her colon
ies, as well as the complete restoration
of Belgium to her sovereignty.
Washington, "Aug; 14.- The State
Department acknowledges' it has. re
ceived knowledge of Pope Benedict's
peace, proposal before todav ? olli-
cial dispatch received here. ' No offi
cial cognizanee can be taken until it
is surveyed officially. Whatever con
sideration is given it will be after a
consultation with the allies.
' At the . , apostolic delegation all
knowledge of the l(e's proposal
was disclaimed. It was said th
Pope had not transmitted it to -the
United States government and . did
not expect to do so, The opinion was
expressed that it 'would come through
a neutral government.
" Within the entente. diplomatic cir
cle 'the opinion was" freely - and
promptly : ; pxpressed-that the peace

and was an attempt to split the a.
