ed in Philadelphia was Atkins Al
manack for the year 1886. 1t was an

POPE BENEDICT
SENDS MESSAGE
TO PRESIDENT ON
PROPOSALS
Monsignor Bonzano, Apostolic,
Delegate at Washington, De-
livers Cabled Message at the
White House

Washington, May 7-President Will
son received Saturday message from
Pope Benedict, which is understood to
relate to the outlook for peace and the
opening for mediation by the United
States.
The message, which is said to have
been cabled from the Vatican Friday,
was delivered to the Presidents sec
rotary at the White House Saturday
morning by Monsignor Giovanni Bon
Zano, the apostolic delegate at WASH
ington Monsignor Bonzano refused to
see newspaper correspondents Satur-
day afternoon, and other high Catho-
lie disnitaries professed ignorance of
the contents Of the papal communica-
ton.
White House officials refused to
comment upon the message. Authori-
tative information was secured, how
ever, that the Pope had appealed to
President Wilson for the preservation
of peace between the United States
and Germany. at the same time refer
rims, az least in general terms, to the
possibility that peace proposals in the
early future would receive favorable
consideration among the belligerent
nations.
Second Move by Pope
This is the second time the Pope has
moved for peace through the co-opera-
months ago Cardinal Gibbons called
upon the President and delivered a
similar peace message. which had been
cableG from the Vatican.
Details of the Palal messages were
not disclosed and conflicting reports
from Catholic sources here and the
Vatican were given out as to the exact
character of the Pores message.
The earlier message Of the Pope did
authoritatively at the time the Presi-
dent had information that the allied
governments would regard the sugges-
ton of peace proposals at that time
by the United States as bordering on
an unfriendly act. The allies then
were preparing to strengthen their Of
fensive against the German armies,
and they resented amy talk of peace
based on terms such as Germany had
signitied a willingness to attain.
Allies Not Asking Peace
AS far as can be learned the atti
tude of the allies is Unchanged on the
subject of peace. The President also,
it is understood, has not altered his
to await some sugges
ton from the allies before launching
mediation proposals
Germany's willingness to discuss
peace proposals satisfactory to herself
has been much advertised in the past
several months.
Tie reference in the German note to
Germany's desire for peace has i'm
pressed the President, but has not
causd him to build castles in the air
on this score. The President, it is eX
planned. knows that Germany has de-
sired peace-on her own terms-for
months past.
