cIosed-committee of Bundesrath
Meets-British Response Delivered
COPENHAGEN = At a meeting
of the main committee of the reich
stag, Chancellor Michaelis was expect
ed to declare the pope's peace note in
general accord with the German gov
ernment's peace proposal of Dec. IL,
1916, and the recent reichstag resolu-
tiCn on the same subject, and there
fore, to be alphabetically received IN
Germany.
Germany cannot, however, discuss
details and in no circumstances can
il enter into discussion of the status
of Alsace-Lorraine as part OF the
German empire. The chancellor, &C.
cording to this forecast, will say that
as Germany has earlier indicated its
desire to make peace, the first word
must come from the other side.
Committee of Bundesrath Meets.
A meeting of the bundesrath's COM
mittee on foreign affairs had been
called for Monday in Berlin under the
craftsmanship of the Bavarian pre-
mier, Count Hertling, to discuss the
situation created by the pope's note
and to approve the lines Of Chancel-
Ior Michaelis' speech to the reichstag
committee.
British Response Is Delivered.
ROME, ITALY = The reply of the
British government to the peace note
of Pope Benedict was handed to Car
dinal Gasparri, the papal secretary of
state, by, the British minister. The re-
ply says the pope's note will be ex-
amined in a benevolent and serious
spirit.
Cardinal Gasparri expressed to the
British minister the hope that the bel
ligerents would give approval to four
fundamental propositions in the pa
pal note, similar ideas having already
been set forth by responsible min
listers Of Great Britain, Russia,
France, Germany and Austria, while
President Wilson's peace message, in
the opinion of the cardinal, implied al
most the whole of the pope's program.
It having been asserted in the press
that the pope was urged by Empress
Zita of Austria-Hungary to work for
peace, the Vatican states that the
pontiff has no personal acquaintance
with the empress and never has re-
ceived any communication from her
on any subjejct.

For them there can be no
hatred, no resentment such as
we sometimes feel toward the
adults.
For them there is only the
deepest compassion. These
children have no rosy road
ahead of them in the future.
The little ones now enduring
hunger, cold and privations of
all kinds, only will suffer more
when they reach maturity, for
very probably Germany will
groan for years under the bur-
dens of rehabilitating the
countries she has desolated.
Thinking of them, the trite
expression "My heart aches for
them" is true, for I have felt
an actual physical pain at my
heart when | have looked for
ward to their future.
The children of Germany are a
solemn lot. You never see them play
ing around like the children of Amer
ica-even under the best of condi-
tons. 1t is ''verboten" to play in the
streets to begin with. Every apart
ment house is furnished with small
plot of ground and here the little ones

there they more nearly reach real

German child ever being reproved,
for from the day they are born these
little Teutons move and live by rule
and rote.
OF course, now the smallest chill
dren are pressed into service. If
nothing else, they do the pitifully
meager shopping for the family
holding an adults p'sce in line but
hours. while the adult performs more
lucrative work.
They do great deal of work about
the homes now too, as it is impos-
sible in Germany to get servants.
All the men servants are working
in the munitions factories.
But the lack of servants does not
mean carelessness in the German way
of living. Berlin is as neat and clean,
