Some Poetry

Speaking of poetry here is one
by Dean Collins, published in the
Oregonian and made part of the
program of the annual reunion OF
the Arizona Hassapampa Society,
held recently in, Los Angeles. It is
called The Psalm of Phoenix
In Phoenix meath the pepper trees,
And palms, and spreading castor
beans,
walked in solitude and ease,
Enjoying all the tropic scenes.
And far across the State House
lawn,
Like two fair suns that rise at
dawn, *
saw, saw, contemporaneous;
saw them when looked once
Two govs. where one had been
before.
Chorus:
And yet I'd swear before a cop
l truly hadn't had a drop.

Plan FOR PEACE
,Pontifr Urges Settlement of War
On Basis of no Annexations and
No Indemnities.

Rome, Aug. 15.-Peace propos-
lals made by Pope Benedict have been
delivered to all the ~belligerent gov
iernllents.
Inc Pope's appeal proposes chat
there be no annexations and no m
IDENTITIES except in special cases,
such as Belgium and Serbia; the &c.
turn to Germany of her colonies III
exchange for the occupied depals-
meats of France; freedom Of the
seas, disarmament and the formation
Z supreme court Of arbitration Scr
the settlement of future international
disputes.
The peace proposals vii. be pub
llished here tomorrow.
London, Aug. 15.-"These %so-called
|peace terms have a distinct German
flavor This reply was given i N an
authoritative quarter in London yes
terday in reply to a question in re-
gard to the Vatican proposals.
The opinion was expressed that the
inspiration for the peace move prob
ably emanated from Austria and was
in the nature of a trial balloon, as
a prelude to omre definite propositions
from the Central Powers to the Al
lies.
at has long been known to states
men of the Allied countries that the
Central Powers are eager to co!l-
'clude peace on terms of restoration
of the status quo. Therefore there IS
no need of any protracted consldcra.
ton before saying what the attitude
of the Allies will be. A status quo
peace would be distinctly 2 German
peace, and is the very thing which
President Wilson and other Ameri-
can statesmen have been long en-
.phasizing as impossible and unthink-
able. All the sacrifices of this ter
rib,c. war will have 0een vain If we
do not conclude Il peace which VIII
insure the world against a rcpctl-
ton.
The belief in Whitehall is that any
proposal for q status quo peace WIZ
have a curtar reception in the United
States than in Europe.
The American position in this war
has perhaps been made clearer than
that of any of the other b~elligerents.
Tie United States has no 'entangi-
inr alliances in this matter, and has
taken a firm stand for a peace which
will clear the world of the menace OF
miljtarism and absolutism. From me
American point of view, any status
quo peace obviously is Impossible
Washington, Aug. 15.-Pope Bene-
diets peace proposals were not unex-
nccted to the United States nor to
II of the Entente Allies.
The possibility Of & peace move was
discussed with British Foreign Min-
ister Ralfour and Vicc-Prem'er "
viari when the British AID french
official missions were in Washington,
and it was agreed that all the Allies
including the United States, should
refuse to discuss peace terms Whl.c
Germany occupied the territories shc
had taken by force, the territories
had taken by force, and thereby
avoid what the Allied statesmen on
sidercd a German trap.
Now, the Pontiffis prop"Sa! pr
scnts the question in a somewhat c'f-
.fercnt light, difficult perhaps to meet
because it offers a war-wcary world
a hope for peace.
Germany and her allies are <
pected promptly to accept the ropes
proposals.
