Rome, Dec. 1S-Pope Bendict has
no intention OF attempting to mediate
among the belligerents at present, ac-
cording to a statement issued today at
the Vatican. The statement says
neither the pope nor the holy see has
made, or wish to make, any comment
regarding the German peace proposals
and that therefore any announcement
attributed to them is absolutely un-
founded. 1t is added that the pope
naturally has an ardent desire for
peace, but he does not believe any n.
tervention at the present moment
would hasten it's conclusion.
The net result Of several resolutions
introduced in the chamber of deputies
regarding the German peace offer, and
a prolonged discussion among sena-
tors and deputies was the decision by
the legislators that no peace would
be accepted unless in accordance with
national honor and the rights of the
people based on the principle of ma.
tionality. If such peace is impossible
to obtain, automatically, it was de.
clared that it must be obtained by VIC
tory of arms.

Contrary to general belief, the youth
