What Benedict
Has Proposed

The foundation stones Of the
plan Of the pontiff for world
tranquility are the reduction Of
arr,amsnts and freedom os .i,e
seas, and that there shai, be
no retaliatory struggle after
the war for world commercial
supremacy. Specific proposals
made TO the beliissrents, un-
official reports say, include
tho restoration Of 6elgiur,,
Serbia and Ruman;a. The
question Of Alsace Lorraine,
Trent and Triest and Poland,
Il is suggested, should be
adjusted peacefully. The pope's
plan also calls for the return
to Germany Of all her colonies.
In July, 1915, Pope Benedict
made his first appeal for peace.
Al that time the pont;ff invited
all friends Of peace to join
with him in his desire TO bring
hostilities to end. Almost sim
ultareousiy with the latest ap.
peal Of Pope Benedict, China
entered the ranks Of the bel
ligerents by formally declaring
war upon Germany and
Austria. Hungary.
