Believes In Universal Peace.
He said that universal peace will come
and that its coming will be to great
extent the result of the great object
lesson which America is teaching the
other nations when it shows that Rus
sian and Turk, German and French de-
scendants can live in love and fellow
ship in this country, proving that their
kin in Europe can do the same.
Show Appreciation to Officials.
Most of all he impressed upon the
foreign born resident of this country,
whether he be yet citizen or not, that
his first duty is to uphold the ideals of
the land in which he is now living and
one of its ideals is the amalgamation of
all the many families of the human
race that gather here to find better
life than they have left behind. More
over, he warned them this may only be
accomplished if old world alliances and
allegiances are left behind.
One little thing which came into the
talk as an incidental is worth thinking
about. 1t was Mr.. Morehouse sug-
.gestion that when a public official does
an unselfish, disinterested act for the
good of the community, to write and
tell him it is appreciated. Mr.. More
house told the all too unhappy truth,
that the public man who serves private
interests gets taken care of for life,
while the man who does his duty as citi-
zen and human being when he is in the
council or holding some other office, is
too apt to have no. one to acknowledge
what he does or encourage him.
The speaker was introduced by Mrs.
James Cavanagh, vice president of the
High School Parent-Teacher association,
under whose auspices Mr.. Morehouse ap-
peared.

Rome, Ang. 15.-Peace proposals
made by Pope Benedict have been de.
livered to all the belligerents.
The pope suggests restoration of
Belgium, Serbia and Roumania and
peaceful solution of the problem of Al
sace-Lorraine, Trent, Triest and Pc.
land, according to reports received
from Vatican sources.
Washington, Aug. 15.-An unofficial
outline Of Pope Benedict's peace pro.
posals received here discloses that the
pontiff includes some of the principles
of world peace for which President
Wilson has declared.
Among the pope's proposals are re.
duction of ornaments, freedom of the
seas and that there shall be no re-
taliatory struggle after the war for
world commercial supremacy. These
are regarded as the foundation stones
of the pope's plan.
At the Apostolic residence all knowl.
edge OF the pope's proposal was dis
claimed. 1t was said the papal dele
gate had not transmitted it to the
United States government and did not
expect to do so. The opinion was en-
pressed that it would come through
neutral government.
Within the entente diplomatic cir.
cles the opinion was freely and prompt.
ly expressed that the peace proposal
was inspired by Germany and was an
tempt to split the allies in a con.
flicting discussion of their war aims.
Would Reduce Armament.
How for the peace proposals re.
fleets the close relationship of the
Vatican with Austria, whose earnest
desire for peace despite German in
fiuence is we'll known, or how far ii
reflects the Catholic agitation for
peace in Germany no one here would
venture to say. 1t was recalled, how
ever, that leading Catholics were
prominent figures in the recent peace
furry in Germany.
Reduction of ornaments. settlement
of all international disputes by arbi
tration, freedom Of the seas and nc
retaliatory after the war economic
struggle for supremacy are the foun
dation stones of Pope Benedict's peace
proposals.
The pope's proposal declares that
the injuries to all belligerents have
been so great there should be nc
thought of reparation except for the
return of territory.
/ Included in the restoration of terri
tory the pore's proposals insist should
be the return to Germany of all hel
colonies, as we'll as the complete resto
ration of Belgium to her sovereignty

! information does not indicate through
what channel the proposal will be con
veyed and gives no information from
which an inference might be drawn a:
to whether it will come through one

a dignitary of the church.
Officials were unusually explicit il
saying that it could not be discussed
until it came officially before the SOW
eminent and were emphatic in declar
ing that no statement whatever coult
be represented as rejecting the oificia

Republican A. p. Leased wire]

WASHINGTON, April 15.-With the assembly of the most momentous in ternational conference ever held in this country only a few days distant, off cials of several executive departments of the government devoted themselves today to making final preparations for greeting the distinguished men Great Britain and France are sending here to discuss war problems.
 The near approach of the conferences and the growing certainty that an at tempt will be made to harmonize the ends for which the allies are fighting with the principles laid down by Presi- dent Wilson has developed the fact that all the entente nations have in formed each other very fully their maximum and minimum terms of peace, so that each one has come to an exact knowledge of what the others were fighting for.
 Those details. it now seems practic- ally certain. will be disclosed freely to President Wilson in such a way as to comply with the suggestions of his note of December IS asking all the belliger- ents for such an avowal. While the allies in their reply gave a skeleton outline of their terms, it was realized at the time that it was not complete and that it probably contemplated the ma aXimum
 Discussion here today of Americas S probable terms brought from an off cial source the statement that this country stood unreservedly on the broad basis outlined in the presidents two addresses, one to the senate pro- posing world-peace federation and 1 the other to congress advising that a state of war be declared Those terms i involve the destruction of the Prussian autocracy, government resting on the i consent of the governed, freedom of worship, freedom of and access to the seas, and world federation to prevent future wars.
