Opportunity to Garry Out
Peace Proposal of Pope
Benedict.
AMBASSADORS REPORT
Say Belligerents are Unwill-
ing to Talk Peace With
Germany Now Holding the
Whip Hand in Russia.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3-President
Wilson sees no immediate possibility
for a move to reconcile the European
belligerents. The time may come
soon, however, when he can act and
consequently he will hold open the
suggestion of his holiness, Pope Bene-
dict, that concerted action by the
neutrals should be taken and this gov
eminent renew its original offer of
mediation.
The great obstacle to peace at the
present moment Is the determination
of Germany to retain certain Of the
territory she now holds and to insist
that certain indemnity be paid, and
the united sentiment in France and
England that, to consent to any peace
plan while the honors all remain with
Germany, so far as the land fighting
is concerned. would mean renewal
of the conflict within a comparatively
short time.
Ambassadors Report.
This was learned today from the
presidents closest advisers. Within
the last ten days he has received sum-
maries of the result of confidential in
quiries instituted by Ambassadors
Marye, at Petrograd; Gerard, at Ber-
lin; Penfield. at Vienna; Sharp. at
Paris, ana Page, at London. They are
understood to agree in substance that
the opportune moment for any sugges.
ton OF mediation Is not the present
one. In fact, both Ambassadors Page
and Sharp have declared that Eng
land and France would consider a sug-
gestion of mediation at this time as
unfriendly.
However, no attempt is made to
minimize the great influence of the
vatican throughout Europe. The
president very frankly told Cardinal
Gibbons that he was ready to initiate
any peace move that gave promise of
the slightest success. He made no
formal reply, however, and intends
feeling out" further all of the bel.
ligerents to see whether there is not a
possibility of suggesting some enter
ing wedge for an agreement.
