IA AND RETURN OF CAP
TURED TERRITORY.
LOST COLONIES WOULD BE
GIVEN BACK TO GERMANY
Message Proposes Reduction of Arma'
ments, Freedom of Seas and No
Trade War-includes Some of
Wilson's World Peace
Principles.

Washington, Aug. 15.-That the
Vatican's proffer, as 1t stands, can
not be accepted by the United
it will not be accepted at all Is
probable. Allied diplomats here
are unanimously of the opinion
that the proposals will be rejected
by their government.
Germany and her allies, how
ever, are expected promptly to &C
cept the poPe's suggestions.
Rome, Aug. 15-Pope Benedict has
addressed another appeal for peace to
the belligerents. 1t ia reported un-
officially from Rome that the Pope has
made specific proposals to the heads
of the warning nations. and that they
include restoration Of Belgium, Serbia
and Roumania and peaceful adjust
ment of the questions of Alsace-Lor-
raine, Trent, Trieste and Poland.
Second Appeal by Pope.
This is the second direct appeal by
Pope Benedict to the belligerents. In
July of 1915 the Pontiff sent a letter
to them, inviting all friends of peace
to unite with him In his desire to ter
inmate the war
1t is expected the text of the new
proposals will be published at once in
the official Vatican organ.
Includes Wilson's Principles.
Washington, Aug. 15.-Ar unofficial
outline of Pope Benedict's peace pro.
posals received here discloses that the
pontiff includes some of the principles
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 reparatfon except for the
return of territory. The pope's pro-

Announcement that the Spanish am.
bassador at Rome had transmitted
Pope Benedict's proposals to the Hal
ian government and the opinion eX
pressed at the apostolic delegation
here that they might be delivered to
the United States by o neutral. led to
the possibility that the Spanish am.
ssador here, Juan RianO. might con.
them to the State department.
Rely on Press cabIeerams.
The Spanish embassy's only In.
formation, 1t was said there, had been
received from the Associated Press
dispatches.

their own governments. the Allied en-

peace proposal falls on unreceptive
