Door to Argument Not Closed

The Hague, Sept. 1.-The Roman Catholic Maasoode of Rotterdam thinks that President Wilson's an- swer to the Papal note, examined from practical angle, warrants the conclusion that the door to peace is neither barred nor bolted "sor con- trary to logical reasoning from his premises it says, President Will son does not want the war carried to bitter end, nor would, he refuse to deal with the present German gov eminent, but only if it truly repre- sented the will of the nation as ex- pressed by genuine parliamentariza- tiOnL"
 The Maasbode sees a gradual de- velopment of conditions in Germany on the lines President Wilson desires. Why then, it asks, could not the pres ident have declared himself in prin- ciple with the Pope?
