LONDON PRESS TAKES IT
WITH VERY POOR GRACE

London. July s1.-The pope's plea
for peace. based on an arrangement
OF aspirations among the nations At
war. IL received in bad part by the
London press The commentators are
inclined to reject the implication they
find in the pope's words that all
powers are engaged IN fratricfdal
struggle. and that all are equally re-
sponsibie.
I'VE had no choice IN the matter.
Gays the Westminster Gazette. in
August, 1914. and we have no choice
in the matter now. There Is no con-
ceivable arranging of aspirations
which will meet our view short of an
issue which viii make repetition or
these events impossible In the future"
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
Until victory definitely rests on
the banner of our alliance the pope's
wish cannot be realized without the
deepest wrong to the cause OF right
and liberty and peace"
