POPE AND PRESIDENT.

The press of the country on
Wednesday Of this week con-
tanned the text Of President Will
sons answer to the peace pro-
posals made recently to all the
belligerent nations by Pope Bene-
dict XIV. In his reply the presi-
dent states the position of this
country and the allied nations.
He declares that all are anxious
for an enduring peace, but that
assurances must be given in adj
vance that any peace adopted by
the warning nations must of ne
cessity bear the marks of per-
manent durability.
The chief executive of this
country strikes the high note in
the yearning for peace when ne
asserts that democracy must be
tn goal towards which all peo-
pies be allowed to tend. The de-
mands of governments, their
plans, aims and ambitions, must
not be permitted to interfere
with the lawful aspirations OF
the peoples of earth. The aims
of the governing powers should
be backed up by the will of the
people. Any nation which has
laid itself open to suspicion OF
it's sincerity cannot be trusted
to agree truthfully to any terms
Of a permanent peace. The presi
dent is in accord with the pops
that reprisals, dismenberment
of empires, the establishment OF
selfish economic leagues, must
not be allowed to hamper the
full and untrammelled flow Of
the legitimate trend of nationa
aspirations and Development

scene Of the desperate efforts to break

The supplementary report issued IN
Berlin tonight said that an Italian

several hundred prisoners being taken
by the Teutons.
Despite immense losses. the Italian
official report says, the enemy failed
TO gain anywhere except at one point.
