It is the belief of officials that {
very definite peace offer will come
from Germany before winter ant
that the offer will suggest cessation
of hostilities on status quo basis
However, such an offer would be re-
jected by the entente statesmen, as
is indicated by the presidents re-
lection of the Pope's peace proposal
in which he stated that the accept
ance of same would not demolish mil
itary autocracy or insure democracy
for the world and that the future
peace and happiness hinges on Prus-
sianism being crushed to the earth.
The allied newspapers comments as
well as national dispatches are to
the effect that the Pope's proposal
was directly inspired by the central
powers and state that a new guar
anty from Germany would be worth
less. 1t is thought that talk of
peace was started in the hope of de-
laying the United States in the prep
aration for war, but if it was a ruse,
it has failed. The German press is
furious over Americas stand and
states that the German reply to
Pope Benedict's peace plen will con-
tain no details but will accept in
principle the pope's peace program.
