A warfare of submarine frightful-

but United States and Entente A.
lies Do Not Appear to View Them
Favoraoiy.
Washington, aug. 15.-Pope Bene-
diets peace proposals were not unex-
pected to the United States nor to
any Of the entente allies
The possibility OF a peace move was
discussed with British Foreign Minis.
ter Balfour and Vice Premier Viviani
when the British and French official
missions were in Washington and it
was agreed that all the allies, includ-
ing the United States, should refuse
to discuss peace terms while Germany
occupies the territories she had taken
by force, and thereby avoid what the
allied statesmen considered a German
trap.
Now the ponti1fs proposal presents
the question in a somewhat different
light difficult, perhaps. to meet, but
1t offers to a war weary world a hope
for peace. Germany and her allies are
expected to accept the pope's pro-
posals promptly.
American officials acknowledge that
the Vatican's proffer calls for a reply.
Entente diplomats voice a unanimous
opinion that it will be rejected.
Cannot Accept Proposals.
American officials realize that con-
vlnclns reply is required for the
worlds page Of history That the
proposals cannot be accepted as they
stand is certain. That they will not
be accepted at all is probable.
An official outline Of the pope's
communication was received here.
Cabinet members said it was not
discussed at the meeting, but some of
the presidents official family gave
signs of the difficulty which it has
presented.
The official text has not been re-
ceived and it has not been established
whether it will come through the
Spanish ambassador or the Swiss min
ister Spain and Switzerland are the
only European neutrals having rela-
tions with the Vatican.
The first appraisal of the proposal
by officials and diplomats was that it
was another attempt by Germany, this
time working through Austria be-
cause of the latter's close relation to
the Vatican, to accomplish what she
failed in her first offer of peace-the
assembling of peace delegates at a
round table conference, where the in
terests of one ally could be played off
against the other, with the disruption
of the grand alliance as the stake.
Vatican Acts in Good Faith.
In no other quarter is there any dis
position to question in any way the
good faith of the Vatican.
But as the unofficial outline dis
closed the terms of the pope's pro-
posal officials were astonished to rea-
lie its similarity with some of
President Wilson's declarations on the
subject
international agreement to enforce
peace, reduction Of armament and
recognition Of the national aspirations
of the small peoples all were brought
forward by the president in his
epochal address before congress.
Although the proposal to leave for
diplomatic discussion such great ques-
tions as Italia Irridentia, free Poland
and Alsace-Lorraine might be rejected
on many grounds close observers fore
see the possibility of embarrass-
ments in declining to discuss propos-
ais which the president himself
brought before the world

During our war the unusual de-
mands for goods and produce created
i, by it and by the shutting off of for.
eign competition through high tariffs
made an Industrial boom in the north
ern states somewhat like that which
the European war has made here for
the last two years. High prices and
| high wages continued four or five
years after the war. Then there came
reaction, eliminating in the panic
OF 1873. from which the north did not
fully recover until the resumption of
specie payments in 1879. Thus 1t was
about fifteen years before the north
ern state ceased to feel the effects of
the war.
The south, which had been a rich
and prosperous part of the country
before the war, felt its effects much
more than the north and was good
deal slower in recovering.
The process of reconstruction in the
south was not even we'll under way
until the election OF Mckinley in 1896
opened new area of prosperity that
was shared by all sections of the coun-
try. Soon after the Spanish War,
uniting north and south in a patriotic
and humanitarian errand, practically
completed the unification of the coun-
try. but the southern states had lost
twenty-five years or more in getting
back to normal.
France will not need any such
length OF time as that to return to
normal conditions unless some unfore-
seen developments should deplete her
resources TO a point that Is still re-
mote. There is sure to be a reaction.
Nations, like individuals, cannot I'M
dergo terrific strain and loss without
subsequent effect. There will be de-
lay and confusion in making the
change from war to peace. But the
French are a vigorous race and look
for rapid restoration OF the coun-
try.
Financially, France is better off
than most OF the belligerents. The
land is fertile. fully occupied and
highly productive under a system of
intensive cultivation aided by ade-
quate methods of rural finance. Di-
rection Of military and civil affairs
is in strong hands. The business men
and the labor organizations, all sects
and all classes, are standing behind
the government in the most patriotic
and self-sacrificing manner.
Frenchmen are introducing the
most modern methods in their factor.
les and are organizing production on
large and efficient scale heretofore
unknown.
Most important of all, the French
?cOple are united in spirit and in pur
pose. Forgetting ancient differences
they are welded together in ma
tional unit to carry through an I'm
dertaking to which as individuals and
as nation they have set themselves
