PEACE PROSPECTS
ARE FRIGHTENING
CARDINAL GIBBONS URGES WILL
SON TO COOPERATE WITH
POPE TO END WAR.
GERMANS TO QUIT BELGIUM
President Would Insist Upon With
drawaI of Troops-kaiser Would
Demand Independence of Poland
and Freedom of the Seas.

Washington, Sept. 4.-Cardinal Glib
bons, dean of the college of cardinals
presented confidential communca
tion from Pope Benedict to President
Wilson inviting and urging this gov
eminent to cooperate with the vatican
and neutral nations to bring about
peace in Europe.
Up to the present the United States
has acted entirely alone in the single
offer it has made to be of service in
bringing about peace.
After his visit and confidential talk
with the President, Cardinal Gibbons
said:
a think the prospects for peace are
brightening."
Indicates Definite Results.
The statement, expressing the judg-
ment of a representative of the pope
after comforting with President Will
son, is regarded here as indicating
that definite results so far as future
action by this government and the vat
lean are concerned are already being
achieved.
state, and the President, declined to
reveal the details of the pope's sug-
gestion. 1t was stated at the White
House, in fact, that the President
would not discuss the subject at all.
From two official sources, however,
it is reported that:
I. Germany will not consider any
peace arrangement that does not per-
nit Poland to become an independent
kingdom.
2. Germany will insist the civil
freedom of the Jews must be guar
anteed.
8. Germany will demand interna-
tionaI agreement providing for the
freedom of the seas.
All authorities agree in the opinion
that the action taken by the pope to |
enlist the cooperation of a great ma
ton like the United States is epoch |
making because it is understood to be |
definite and complete and based upon
the certain knowledge of Pope Bene-
iict of the views of Austria and Ger
many.
Germans Must Leave Belgium.
State department officials appeared
certain that President Wilson would
lot Immediately make any mediatory
to the allies on the SUBJ
ect of peace. The officials indicate
trongly that the President knows that
second offer of mediation would not
e accepted by Great Britain. The
lans for opportune proffering of good
ffices, they thought, would proceed
evertheless.
American officials think, however,
hat if the terms of peace are fully
iscosed and include the withdrawal
f German troops from Belgium and
rance, this government would not
estate to make the mediation offer at
ny time.
Further interesting reports were
lat Germany might be willing to
bandon Belgium and certain parts of

Brownsville, Tex, Sept. 4.-The bull
who were kidnapped by Mexican ban.
dts, about IL miles north of here,
were found late in the day in the bed
of dried lake.
They were Earl Donaldson, a far
mer, who came here from Fayette,
Mo-, two weeks ago and an engineer
named Smith, engaged in concrete
construction work on an irrigation
canal. The bodies were brought to
Brownsville. Donaldson, Smith and
Stanley Dodds, the latter a contrac-
tor, building an irrigation pumping
station, were captured by the Next
cans.
Because one of the band told the
others that Dodds was a German, he
was not harmed, but his hat and shoes
were taken. The pumping station and
an automobile were burned by the
bandits.
Later in the day the Mexicans be-
came engaged in a running fight with
a detachment of United States infan-
try and in the excitement Dodds es-
capped.
He telephoned from distant ranch
house that he was safe. The fight
between the Mexicans and the Ameri-
can detachment resulted in the death
of one Mexican and the escape of the
Is others who composed the band.
Lieutenant Faulkner, who command
fha date oh, ant Of Of
the raiders, reported that the automo-
bile truck bearing the Americans was
travelling along the old Alice stage
coach road when the Mexicans were
seen. Called upon to halt, six of the
band showed fight, using an irrigation
canal as trench, while 10 made a
quick escape down the canal. Five of |
the six finally escaped leaving their
comrade.
Further Fighting Expected.
Following a flight Aviation Lieut. |
Joseph C. Morrow, pilot, with Lieut.. B.

we're we'll disposed throughout the
section in which there are believed to

Further fighting is expected NOM
9ntarily. At the Fresno irrigation
,anaI, the bandits fired probably a
core of shots at Perry Clark, an Am
,rican land clearing contractor, but
rome took effect.
A Mexican who sat and talked to
members of the band said they were
rying to force the Mexican population
o this section to join them.
