Washington, Aug. il.-Pope Ben
edicts peace proposals were not un-
expected to the United States or
to any of the entente allies.
The possibility of a peace move
was discussed with British Foreign
Minister Balfour and Vice Premier
Viviani when the British and
French Official missions were in
Washington and it was agreed that
all the allies, including the United
States, would refuse TO discuss
peace terms while Germany Occu-
pied the territories she had taken
by force, and thereby avoid what
the allied statesmen considered a
German trap.
Now the pontiffs proposal pre-
sents the question in a somewhat
different light, but it offers to "a
war weary world a hope for peace
Germany ana her allies are eN-
pected promptly to accept. the
lpope's proposals.
American officials acknowledge
that the vaticans proffer is of o
nature calling for a reply, Diplo-
mats of the entente circle voice
nothing but a unanimous opinion
that it will be rejected American
officials realize that a convincing
Ircply is required for the world;
