Washington, Aug. 15.-An unofficial
outline Of Pope Benedict's peace pro-

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 retalia.
tory struggle after the war for world
commercial supremacy. These are re-
garded as the foundation stones of the
pope's plans.
Urges Return Of Territory.
The pope's proposal declares that
the injuries to all belligerents have
been so great there should be no
thought of reparation except for the
return of territory. The pope's pro.
,posals insist there should be the re-
turn to Germany of all her colonies, as
we'll as the complete restoration Of
Belgium to her sovereignty.
Announcement that the Spanish am
'bassador at Rome had transmitted
Pope Benedict's proposals to the Ital-
ian government, and the opinion ex.
pressed at the apostolic delegation
here that they might be delivered to
the United States by a neutral, led to
the possibility that the Spanish am.

There were four or FIVE inhabiting

"They all assumed the happy Es-

for music. In some regions where
missionary influence is strong he has
his own brass band and produces
horrible noises in the process OF

"The smile of the Eskimo Is a
