Rome, Aug. 14. -Peace proposals made by Pope Bene
dict have heeffdelivered to all the belligerent governments..
The Pope suggests restoration of Belgium, Serbia, and Ru
mania and peaceful solution of the problems of Alsace-Lorraine-
Trent, Trieste, and Poland, according to reports received
from Vatican sources. It is expected the proposals will be pub
lished today by the Vatican.
State Department Admits Knowledge.
Washington, Aug. 1 4. The State Department acknowl
edges that it had received unofficial knowledge of Pope Bene
dict's peace proposals before today's news dispatches were-received
here. No official cognizance can be taken of it until the
proposal is conveyed officially. Whatever consideration is
given to it, will be after consultation with the Allies. v
At the Apostolic Delegation all knowledge of the Pope's
proposal was disclaimed. It was said the Pope had not trans
mitted 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.
Withih the Entente diplomatic ... circle the opinion ' was
freely and promptly expressed thatvthe peace proposal Was in
sired by Germany and was an attempt to split the allies in a
conflicting discussion of their war aims.
Reduction of armaments; settlements of all international
disputes by arbitration; freedom of the seas, and no retaliatory
after-the-war economic struggle for supremacy, are the foun
dation stones of Pope Benedict's peace proposals. ;
pointed out that it is important to
know whether the proposals came
full-fledged from Vienna or Berlin, or
whether the Pope himself framed
