PEACE TERMS HAYE GER. FLAVOR
That Is Official LondOnS Views of
the Pope'S Proposals.

London, Aug 14.-"These so-called
peace terms have a distinct German
flavor"
This reply Was given in an anthori-
tatiYe quarter N London today in re-
ply to a question by the Associated
Press in regard to the Vatican pro-
posals.
The opinion was expressed that the
inspiration TO- the peace move prob
ably emanate1 from Austria and is
in the nature of trial balloon as a
prelude to more definite preparations.
"Thcre has been great diplomatic
activity recently at the papal secrc-
tariat. Many diplomats have had long
interviews With Cardinal Gasparri"
(papal secretary of state,) the Rome
correspondent of the Exchange Tele-
graph Company cables. 81 am able
to announce that the Holy See has ad-
dressed a note to belligerents and
neutrals. The note makes new and
formal appeal for peace 1t invites
the belligerents to state their condi-
lions in concrete terms so as to facili-
tate a preliminary understanding.
The outline of the Vatican's peace
proposals received here demands the
restoration of all German colonies to
Germany
Summed up, the proposals are for a
restoration of the status quo ante
bellum, with all questions as to the
readjustment of frontiers to be left
to underlined subsequent negotia-
tons"

CLOSING IN

Chief Obstacle In

London, August 15-To a world

Douglas Haig's Canadians today serv-
ed notice that they are still very much
at war and winning. All around the
shell wrecked city of Lens and its
northmOst streets tonight vast
grueso ONE arena Of blood and iron
yaWned mockery to the very thought
that the time is ripe for soft pourparl-
ers of diplomats. With the rising sun
the dominion troops dashed forward
in the most successful advance in the
battle Of Lens, now four months and
six days cid. All along a 4000-yard
front they moved their way forward.
Late tonight unofficial dispatches
limited strongly at the fall OF the
queen city of France "black dis

miuent socialists are withdraw
ing from the party and de-

spark Of Americanism left in
their hides could no longer tfot

had turned their party into an
instrument to- help the Kaizer.

so far as to say that patriotic
men have not been found in the
socialist ranks, but they are
getting out as the light daWns

was made by Americans for
Americans, and those who find
no institutions here to their
taste should get themselves in
