POPE HOLDS
PEACE PLANS

ROME, Dec. Pope Benedict XIV
has learned the conditions on which
France and Germany are willing to
consider peace proposals, according to
reports here today. The French terms
were made known to the pontiff by
Cardinal Annette, archbishop of Paris,
nearly a month ago, it is said, while
those Of Germany were brought to
Rome by Cardinal Won Hartmann, arch
bishop of Cologne, who is now here.
AS a result of the information the
pope, according to the Idea Nazionale,
hopes to find the basis for an armis-
tice. acceptable to both countries.
The Idea Nazionale asserts it has
received authoritative information from
vatican circles showing there Is no
found alton for the denials of reports
that Cardinal Won Hartmann brought
peace proposals direct from the kaiser.

LONDON, Dec. 1.--Serbian troops
who abandoned Monastir to the vic

dispatch from Rome to have sought
refuge on Greek territory. This de-

shall be permitted to reorganize their
forces for further operations.
Demands by the allies for freedom
Of movement of the forces resisting
the Bulgars have been the chief issue
in the representations made at Athens
by representatives of France and Eng

specifically to the Anglo-French expe-

to have included also any Serbians
that might be driven across the Greek
frontier.

CL0TURE RULE FIGHT
May DELAY READING OF
PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-The Demo
cratic senators who are wrestling with
the problem of preventing debate be-
ing used as a weapon for filibustering
can secure assistance from the Re-
publicans. But to do so they must
abolish for all time the caucus system.
Senator Borah of Idaho made this plain
today. He said he was opposed to gag
rules of any kind, but that he would
be willing to accept any reasonable
plan which would check unlimited de-
bate.
When the Democratic cloture COM
mittee resumed it's sessions today, it
was found still to be widely divided.
Senator Owens, who is leading the clo-
ture fight, said:
81 believe we will be able to agree
upon a rule which, when it becomes
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1915-12-01

apparent that a filibuster is in pro-
gress, the majority will be able to fix
a time for taking vote on the pending
measure within two-day period. Such
a restriction would have no effect upon
legitimate debate and would prove
an effective weapon against filibuster-
ing"
Senator Owens said it was entirely
possible that the fight against any
cloture plant might delay the presen-
tation of the presidents message. He
said a fight against the adoption Of
the rules might last through several
days. Meanwhile the senate could not
be organized to receive the presidents
message and it would be withheld.
Such contingency would be entirely
without precedent.
