POPE HAS GERMAN
PEACE TERMS AND
IS NOT DISCOURAGED
viii Propose New Terms, In
GLIDING German Base for
Antwerp, Autonomy for Lor-
raine, Retention of AISaCe

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-The rope
now has Germany's maximum and MINI
imum peace terms. was the report reach
ing official sources here today, together
with the statement that the pope Will
probably strive on toward peace.
The reports indicated that the pope
will propose a new set of terms, in
Guiding restoration of Belgium, estab-
lishment of a German base at Antwerp,
autonomy for Lorraine. but retention Of
Alsace by Germany, establishment of
Trieste as a free port, and settlement
at the peace table of other vexatious
problems.
The American governments official
attitude is unbending. All these ques-
tions are secondary, it was said, while
the paramount issue is a change of the
German government so that kaiserism
can never again curse the world. With
autocracy stripped from Germany, the
other questions. the state department in
Dictated, could easily be disposed of.
Meantime, allied diplomats declared
that Germany still dreams of Mittel
Europa golden pathway TO the east.
One of the foremost Of the diplomatic
colony said Germany seeks to trade
Belgium, northern France and even her
colonies, If necessary, for her conquests
in the east. German journalists are
nursing the idea that France and Eng
land, exhausted, would be willing to
sacrifice Russia and their Balkan al
lies for a peace that would give them
IN exchange the German colonies and
the territory the Germans now hold in
the west
Allied diplomats have learned that
Germany is trying to wean Russia from
the allies and at the same time is
striving to leave the impression that
no military decision is possible, argu-
ing that therefore the allies ought to
accept a modified made-in-Germany
peace.
Germany, however, is still insisting
upon keeping economic control of AL
SAGE, with it's rich coal and iron depos-
it's. With these and a route to Constan-
tinople, Germany could threaten Great
Britain's rule in the far east, while still
maintaining an extremely strong eco
nomic position.
Professionalism is still strong, though
American officials have reason to be-
lieve that the leaven of democracy is
stirring strongly The more pessimis-
tic, however, declare that much yeast
in the shape of strong allied blows be
still dealt Germany to convince her of
the futility of kaiserism and militarism.
The outline of the pope's possible
proposals met with no receptiveness
here French diplomats scoffed at the
idea of German sovereignty over AL
SAGE, and British said leaving a Ger
man garrison at Antwerp would be ri
diculous Germany may hope to "re-
store" Belgium with money gathered
from British payment for Germany's
African colonies, it was suggested.
Italy will not listen TO any peace
that doesn't include Italia Irredenta In
the proposals, and she will insist on an
independent Albania; Bosnia and HerZe-
govina to Serbia, and restoration Of
Montenegro, Roumapia and Serbia
Italy feels her successes in the pres
ent drive are such that her ideas on
the Balkans are just and must be reck
oned with.

Income Not Sufficient
All OF these streets are in sad need

seen that the amount of money needed
to do the work will have to come from
somewhere other than general taxes
The total amount of money received
by the city and county from perma-
enent Improvement fund, from which
fund this class of work is to be done,
from the year 1911. when the fund was
first established, to the end of 1916,
amounted TO sS04.s43.S9. From this
fund also has to be built all bridges,
and additions to buildings and any
work OF a permanent nature
Would it not be wise to amend the

COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo. March
Reconsideration OF plans 10 further
the construction of the great Pixies
Peak 0cean.to-0cean highway across
Colorado was taken up at the sixth
annual convention of the Lincoln
Highway Association of Colorado. A
proposal to change the name OF the
association TO the Colorado division of
the Pixies Peak 0cean-to-0cea High
way Association also was taken up.
The change of name Is planned in
view Of the fact that the highway pro-
ject has been hroadened in scope. The
adyisability OF making the change was
matter which the officers had de-
cided to leave to the delegates ss this
