KNOWS GERMAN TERMS.
Berlin ''L0kalanseiGeF'' Asserth
Pope Has Peace Conditions.
Bt the Associdsed Press

CoPrNHAoEN. Aug. 1.-THE German
Governments attitude on so important a
matter az the peace proposal OF Pope
Benedict can only be made known after
the most careful deliberation. particu-
larly as its decision can only be taken
in full accord with Germany's allies. A
statement to this effect has been COM
municated by the German Foreign Of
Ace to the German press.
On account Of this development most
of the Berlin newspapers hesitate to ex-
press any definite opinion in regard to
the Pope's suggestions. and In editorials
published this morning confne them
sslves to reproducing foreign comment
The LokoIonsst0er says It II now
clear that the Vatican was behind the
recent action Of Matthias Erxberger and
the Centre party which led to the adop-
ton Of the Reichstag peace resolution.
Il quotes well informed politician"

trail sovereign. 1t asserts he did not
launch his proposals without warning,
but prepared the way through official
channels. His programme, 1t adds, cor
responds in many respects with the
Reichstag's peace resolution and there
fore In large measure will fall on re-
ceptive soil in Germany. notwithstand-
ing the inclusion OF the questions Of AL
sace-Lorraine and the Trentlno. More.
over, It says in a phrase OF doubtful
meaning, "it cannot be assumed that
this is done in any spirit other than on
the principle Of the right Of nationali-
tes."
The Hamburg Frsmdsnblatt says the
Pope obviously chose a poor time for his
proposals, which can count on no par
ticularly favorable reception at mo-
ment when the necessity of prosecuting
the war 10 bAing announced on all sides.
Tho note contains one point agreeable
to Germany ana others favorable to the
Entente, the newspaper says, the balance
undoubtedly being on the side of the
Entente. II continues:
'It is questionable enough for the Pope
to include % delioate . question as that
of Belgium, hut far more so to touch the
questions of Alsace- Lorraine. Trent and
Trieste, afYecting the disposal Of German
and Austrian soil. These points are
treated carefully, but not In delicate
enough form to make 1t possible for Ger
| mans to take up even academic discus-
sion with foreigners Of matters bound up
30 indissolubiy with the fate Of Germany
a. the disposition Of Aleacs-Lorraine."
The Newspaper regrets that the Papal
note makes It needlessly dinicult In re-
gard to this and other points for the
Germans to recognise the praisewortny
intent of the Pontifrs efforts.

dent Wilson Ia keeping his own counsel
as TO the reply he. will make to Pope
Benedlct's peace proposals. The Cabinet
meeting to-day lasted scarcely half an
hour, and 1t was stated afterward that
no detailed discussion of the peace mes
sage was entered into. No member Of
the Cabinet, with the, possible exception
OF Secretary Lansing. has the slishtest
int.matlon OF when or Just how the
President will reply.
All Of the Cabinet members had re-
ceived official copies of the peace mos.
sage and had read 1t over with great
care in anticipation OF an exchange OF
views, When the President is ready he
will probably ask each member OF his
official family for suggestions.
There is no doubt the President fully
appreciates the responsibility thrust
upon him by the Pope's appeal. Added
Importance to his reply comes from the
'act that he may be ofAcial spokesman for
all the Entente Allies although his reply
win be simply on behalf Of the United

IS not whether the terms proposed will

Nearly all the reports state that de-

tie or no congestion Most of them
state either that no complaints have
been received or that the complaints
are few.
When difficulties are encountered,
immediate effort is made to correct
them, and in all cases improvement Of
conditions is shown.
Most complaints relate to the COM
fort Of the employees, not to anything
affecting the distribution Of the man.
Lack Of heat and need for more room
are reported from several camps. All
these matters, which are secondary to
