tied by Arbitration.
London Aug. 1.-THE text of the
pope's peace proposals to the belliger-
ent nations has been made public by
the British foreign office. The mes
sage which is approximately 2,0Oo
words long, is devoted in its begin
ming TO a recitation of the horrors d.
war and the efforts the Vatican ha
made from time to time to restor
peace. 1t is pointed out the Vatica
has been entirely impartial
The position of the pope's messae
in which he outlines terms follows
THE fundamentals must be that the
material force of arms be substituted
by the moral force of right, through
which shall arise a fair agreement by
all for reciprocal diminution of arma
ment in accordance with established
rules and guarantees in measures suf
ficient for maintenance of public or
der in the states This involves, in
addition, the substitution for armies
the institution of a force in accordance
with rules to be established and pen
alties imposed on states which would
refuse to submit questions to arbitra.
ton or accept it's decisions.
True Freedom of the Seas.
with the supremacy of right thus
established true liberty and freedom
of the seas would be assured, contrib
uting to removal of many causes for
conflict and opening all new sources
of prosperity and progress. to
damage for war and war expenses we
see no other step but submitting to
the general principle of reciprocal
conformation which would be justified
by the great benefit to be derived from
disarmament.
There are particular reasons for
certain cases. They require delibera.
ton with justice and equity. but agree
ments with the advantages to be de.
rived from them are impossible with
out reciprocal restitution of territory
now occupied.
"As to Germany, there should be

/ guarantees of her full political, mill
tary and economic Independence.
Restoration of such territory and
similar restoration of German colonies

Urges conciIiatory Spirit.
with regard to territorial questions
as to those existing between Italy and
Austria, and between Germany and
France, there is hope to believe that
In view of the advantages of durable
peace with disarmament, the parties
would wish to examine The matters
with a conciliatory spirit, considerin
the aspirations of the people and tho

"A spirit of equity and justice shoul,
