POPE'S PEACE PLANS

tons to Bring Conflict to Close

Rome, Dec. Pope Benedict XIV.
Yesterday delivered at the secret con-
sistory his long-expected allocution
IN which he made an urgent plea to
the warning nations for an early
peace. He urged upon belligerents
the exercise Of spirit Of generosity
one to the other in offering terms.
The Popc's plea follows:

PROSPECTS
FOR PEACE.

/ The Baltimore American suggests
that when peace comes between the
warning nations of Europe, it will
be without preliminaries. They will
come to agreement upon the gene
ral terms and an armistice will be
announced and the details of the con-
ditions of peace will be prepared by
them. The United States is unlike
ly to play CONSPICUOUS part in the
matters leading to peace Or in the
framing of the conditions for peace.
There will be no peace by persua-
sion, by pacificist pressure or by So
cialistic concert.
1t is highly significant that a high
Norman official recites Germany
attitude as agreeing to the reiin-
punishment of Belgium, the return OF
the French-speaking parts of Alsace
to France, Persian Gulf port for
Russia, the anneXing Of Bessarabia
to Rumania for buffer state needs,
the autonomy of Poland, under Ger
man benevolent oversight, for SINH
lar reasons. and German domination
OF Constantinople and Asia Minor
Swith German civiliZing influences
counted upon to wipe out the condi-
tions that make Turkey the plague
spot of Europe. These terms have an
air OF probability and they are en-
pressed in terms of moderation. and
If they do, in TACT. represent the Ger
man program, the road to peace IS
more widely open than is generally
supposed.
The significance of this is that ii
indicates that some Of the powers al
war are busily cons 't!cring the condi.
tons of peace. With q tendency to.
ward moderation on both sides, there
may be evolved q peace nlan that vii

u. S. STANDS PAT
ON SHIPPING ARMS
Tells Austria Americas Attitude
Is Justified by Law and
PreCedentS.
LTrom nc TrIbune Rnreau ]

Washington, Aug. 13.--The State De.
partment's reply to the Austrian note
of June 20, protesting against ship
ments of munitions TO the Allies, was
sent to Vienna to-day. The Austrian
note was delayed in transmission and
did not reach the State Department in
complete form until two weeks ago.
The answer will be made public next
Monday.
The Austrian protest was based on
the abnormal quantities of ammunition
exported. and stated that there would
be no objection to selling to Austria's
enemies war supplies up to the or
binary output of American factories.
Since the war began, it was argued,
numerous plants in America, ordinarily
engaged in other lines of work, have
been turned into ammunition factories,
with the result that the United States
was a vast arsenal supplying the Allied
armies in contravention to the spirit
of international law and the Hague
Convention.
Although the State Department de-
cided to make a complete answer, re-
asserting the American attitude, as al
ready outlined in the memorandum re-
plying to Ambassador Won Bernstorff's
protest and ex-Secretary Bryan's letter
to Senator Stone, it is hoped that this
note will dispose of the question once
and for all.
The American answer takes up each
of the arguments and by reference to
international law and to precedents
established in other wars, in certain
of which Germany and Austria sup
piled munitions on a large scale to
belligerents, demonstrates the legality
and regularity Of the American at
titude.
The note is particularly interesting
in view of reports received here that
the German Foreign Minister, DR.. Won
Jagow. was asked to resign because,
among other things, he permitted Aus
tr;a to send the munitions protest with
GU. frs, submitting it to him.
