why he was being held replied that
he didn't know exactly but supposed
that it was thought that he was re-
sponsible for the death or knew

POPE'S F[;.A!!c!E
PROPOSAL =
ACCEPTABLE
General View OF Diplomats
in Washington
HAS BEEN EXPECTED
Appeal Proposes that There Be No
Annexation and Few If Any
lndemnities.
HAS BEEN EXPECTED

Following are the principal points
in the peace proposal announced by
Pope Benedict:
Reduction of all armaments.
Settlement of international dis
putes by arbitration.
Freedom of the seas.
Return to Germany Of all her
colonies.
Restoration of territory captured
by central powers.
Peaceful settlement of Alsace-lor-
raine and Poland controversies.
Immediate exchange of diplomatic
communications looking toward
peace.
Avoidance of retaliatory economic
struggle after the war.
Washington, Aug. 14.-Peace pro-
posals, made by Pope Benedict and
delivered today to all the belligerent
governments, were not unexpected to
the United States nor to any of the
entente allies, it was stated here to-
night.
The program, suggesting the re-
storation of Belgium, Serbia and Ru-
mania, and the peaceful solution OF
the problems of AlsaceLorraine,
Trent. Trieste and Poland, will be
published fully on Thursday, it was
announced
The Popes peace appeal proposes
that there be no annexations and no
s..I cnnnia1
such as Belgium and Serbia, the re-
turn to Germany of her colonies in
exchange for the occupied depart
ments OF France, freedom of the seas
disarmament and the formation OF a
supreme court of arbitration for the
settlement OF future international
disputes.
The possibility of peace move
was discussed with British Foreign
Minister Balfour and Vice Premier
Viviani when the British and French
official missions were in Washington
and 1t was agreed that all the Allies
including the United States, should
refuse to discuss peace terms while
Germany occupied the territories she
had taken by force, and thereby avoit
what the allied statesmen considered
German trap.
Now, the pontiff's proposal pre-
sents the question in a somewhat diff
ferent light, difficult perhaps to meet
because it offers to a war wear!
world hope for peace.
Germany and her allies are expect
ed promptly to accept the pope's pro
posals.
American officials acknowledg'
that the Vatican's proffer is of a ma
ture calling for reply. Diplomat
of the entente circle voice nothing
but unanimous opinion that 1t viii
be rejected. American officials rea
lize that a convincing reply is re
auired for the worlds page of histroy
But the proposals cannot be accepte
as their stand is certain. That the
will not be accepted at all is prol
able.
An unofficial outline of the Pope
communication was received her
this morning Members Of the Pres
dents cabinet said 1t had not bee
discussed at this afternoons meeting
but some OF the Presidents officis
family gave signs of the difficulty b
which 1t has presented Tonight th
official text had not been receives
and It had not been establishe
whether II would come through til
Spanish ambassador or the Swis
minister. Spain and Switzerland al
the only two European neutrals ha
ing relations with the Vatican.
