SAYS PEACE CONFERREES
REALLY WOULD BE SPIES
Professor van Loon Believes Delegates
Would Hunt Advantage Rather
Than Agreement
by Telegraph % The tribune J

Ithaca, n. y, Dec. 1s.-lf a peace
conference is held as the result OF
Germany's oyertures, the delegates Of
all the bellgerents will attend it as
spies rather than peacemakers. This
is the opinion OF Willem Hendrix van
Loon, professor of history and inter-
national politics at Cornell University.
The conferrees, Professor van Loon be-
lieves, would get together with sus-
picion in their minds for the sole pur-
pose of finding out the true conditions
in the enemy's countries.
Every likely there will be some sort
Of conference ct The Hague" said
Professor van Loon to-day. "The two
enemies will be represented by their
ablest diplomats. The Entente mem
bers of the round table Will seek TO
discover the exact status Of affairs in
Germany. Is Germany really hard up
for men and supplies and really desir-
Gus Of peace? Or is Germany bluhing
and planning the while 10 continue the
struggle for another year or two?
Zone can see on the map the extent
Of the Teutonic territorial gains this
year, but nobody knows very much
about the meals given TO the men who
are doing the conquering.
1.-THE Germans, on their part, will
seek 20 find out the true meaning OF
the recent political changes in Eng
land, France and Russia whether they
indicate change of heart in these ma
tons, OF mean war to the bitter end"

Vatican Denies Plan
for Intervening Now

Rome, Dec. 1s.-Pope Benedict has
no intention Of attempting 20 mediate
among the belligerents at present, &C

Vatican. The statement says that
neither the Pope nor the Holy See have
made or wish TO make any comment re-

and that therefore any announcements
attributed TO them are absolutely IN
founded. =,
II is added that the Pope naturally
has an ardent desire for peace, but
that he does not believe that any in
tervention at the present moment
would hasten its conclusion.
The net result Of several resolutions
introduced in the Chamber OF Deputies
regarding the German peace offer and

The legislators that no peace would be
accepted unless in accordance with ma
