Z. Restoration to Germany of all
colonies and cession of additional
African territory to the German gov
ernment.
There is no mention OF freedom of
the seas" in the latest statement of
German peace terms, indicating that
this proposal, upon which the Berlin
government so earnestly dwelt, has
been dropped.
Suggests an Armisties.
For the quadruple entente to agree
to peace negotiations under such cir
cumstances, with fits preliminary
armistice, which it is reported the pope
has suggested would mean not only
loss Of prestige but more important
still. compensation either in the form
Of colonial territory or indemnity or
both to the central powers.
The entente believes the diplomacy
of the central powers has inspired the
papal move. though it is carefully
agreed that the pope has acted merely
because Of his deep solicitude for the
welfare Of humanity.
Thru the papal nuncio in Vienna the
Vatican has learned of the willingness
Of the Austro- Hungarian and German
tiations and of the compensation they
should receive. It is declared to be
natural therefore that the pope, i'm
pressed by the information conveyed
to him. should have turned to the most
powerful neutral-the United States
with view of securing its assistance
In the cause so dear to his heart.
In this connectiou the fact is not
lost sight of that there Is strong
ground for the close relationship be-
tween the Vatican and the central
powers. while such ground does not
exist with reference to the allies. Aus
