PEACE NOTE WARS
H|GHWA7ER MARK
Indicates Virtual Selection of
President as Allies Spokes-
man.
CLIMAX OF ARGUMENT.
Definitely Settles for the Present nj
Least, All Efforts to Reach COM
promise Peace.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-President Wilson'S
rejection of the Pope's peace proposals is
regarded here as the highwater mark of
the war. Furthermore. 1t is indicative Of
the virtual selection Of the President by
the allies as their spokesman before the
world.
The note comes as a climax to the re-
markable series of state documents In
which President Wilson has argued the
cause Of world democracy against
autocracy in the high court of public opin-
ion. and accepted more and more by the
people Of all the allied countries as ex-
pressing their ideas.
U. s. ANSWERS THE WORLD
There appears to be no doubt that the
United States was selected to make answer
before the world. in advance of all the
others. Whether the entente nations will
send extensive replies is not known here.
1t is regarded as probable that they will
in large measure adopt the President s
reasoning for their own and send notes
of endorsement
The general tenor of the Presidents re-
ply had been anticipated everywhere, but
there was no inkling Of the forceful terms
he would employ to say that the world
can have no faith in the autocradtic gov
eminent of Germany.
FRESH APPEAL TO GERMAN PEOPLE
Students of diplomacy see in his denun-
citation of the military autocracy fresh
appeal to the war ridden German people to
| throw off their military masters and join
democracy with government fit to deal
with the remainder Of the world.
Although this appeal probably will not
be permitted to become known in Ger
many until the autocracy has attempted
to mold for its reception by denunciation
through a government controlled press OF
what has been characterized as Interior
ence in the internal affairs OF Germany
the hope is that 1t will fall on fertile soil.
Considering the extraordinary character
of the Presidents communication, its
immense importance in definitely termi-
mating for the present at least all efforts
to reach a compromise peace, and the
| assured fact that it represents the views
of all Of the entente powers Joined with
| America in the war against Germany
the time consumed in the preparation OF
the reply was remarkably short
PURPOSE INFLEXIBLE.
That the Presidents response to the
Pope's overtures would be a courteous
but firm declaration had been generally
| believed, SO that In this respect at least
his communication will cause no surprise
The feature that is certain to AK public
attention is the cold determination not
even to permit the subject of peace nego
tiations to be preached SO long as the
evil and dominating forces of autocracy
and militarism control the central pow
ers. 1t Is not even necessary to read
between the lines of the Presidents
response to see clearly apparent the in
flexible purpose.
