POPE'S PEACE PROPOSALS
 WERE NOT UNEXPECTED
Washington Officials Believe the Prof
 fers Calls for a Reply.

Washington. Aug. 14-Pope Ben edicts 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 Minister 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 occupied the territories she had taken by force and thereby avoid what the allied statesmen regarded as a German trap.
 Now. the pontifFs proposal presents the question in a somewhat different light. difficult. perhaps, to meet because it offers to a War-weary world a, hope for peace.
 Teutonic Allies Expected to Accept.
 Germany and her allies are expected promptly to accept the pope's propos- als-
 American officials acknowledge that the Vatican's proffer is of a nature calling for a reply. Diplomats of the entente circle voice nothing but a unanimous opinion that it will be re- jected. American officials realize that a convincing reply Is required for the worlds page of history. But that the proposals cannot be accepted as they stand is certain. That they will not be accepted at all Is possible.
 Possibility of Embarrassments.

Washington, Aug. 14.-General de- bate in the senate on the S2.0O6, ,O0O. .OOO war tax bill virtually ended today and such rapid progress was made on the finance committee amendments to the house bill that leaders tonight pre- dicted the measures passage late next week. Senator Simmons announced that he expected to ask soon for a time limit on debate and also to set a date for a final vote.
 In rapid succession and with little debate, the senate sitting as a com mittee of the whole approved the f- nance committees revision of the soft drink, tobacco and most of the public utilities schedules. The liquor and iu- come tax sections are to be consd- cred tomorrow.
 Today's debate made it evident that the principal disputes facing the sen ate are over the income. war profits and publishers tax sections.
 Senator La Toilette made public a minority report concurred in by Sen ators Gore and Thomas, urging that the bulk of all war taxes be laid on incomes and war profits. The Wiscon- sin senator proposes to make his prin- cipal fight in offering many amend ments to increase the tax rates pro- posed.
 In closing the general discussion to- day, Senators SmOot and Jones of New Mexico, both of the finance com mittee, commended the committees s proposed increases in the income and war profits sections. The former, however, opposed repeal of the draw
