NO REPLY WAS
NEEDED ACTUALLY

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-Failure of
any of the European powers to reply
to the pope's appeal for peace has
strengthened a growing impression at
the state department that there is
nothing in the note of the Vatican
which actually called for reply.
Amenities may be regarded as sat
isfied by the acknowledgment of ITS
RECEIPT which all governments arr un-
derstood to have sent.
No government has given pesice of
any intention of letting President Will
sons reply stand as a statement for its
position and it is not assumed sby ad-
ministration officials that just that po-
sition would be taken because there
are certain phases of the situation
suggested in the papal communication
affecting some of the allies and not
the United States upon which Presi-
dent Wilson did not comment.
There is an impression, however,
that the other belligerents may be
content not to enter into discussion
of those questions. y

NOTE UNlTES ALLIES, SAY
NEWSPAPERS OF FRANCE

PARIS, Aug. 31.--Delayed Com.
ment) - Although members Of the
French government have not comment
ed publicly upon President Wilson's
reply to the pope, The Associated
Press is informed in authoritative
quarters that President Wilson has de.
fined with absolute clearness and
force the attitude of all the allies. The
President is regarded as having IN
creased the unity of action among the
allies since Americas entry into the
war by his having raised the issues
of the war to the highest level of
right.
The President, 1t is held, escapes en-
tanglements with controversies on a
lower plane and takes the leading in
placing the allies upon an unshakable
moral ground, refusing to consider
questions of mere expediency.
All the newspapers continue to dis
cuss the note in the most approving
terms The Temps tonight says OF
the reply, which was printed promi-
nently in all the morning newspapers:
"ExhaIes Good Faith.'
"The note exhales good faith and by
itself justifies the confidence we have
that our cause will win final victory.
There is good sense in the note and
nothing more is required to put the
problem of peace upon its real basis
with all the force. that the evidence
and that sincerity require. President
Wilson's reply closes one debate and
opens another. 1t puts an end to the
discussion raised by the holy see and
it gives the German people chance
to speak, a chance which they have
not as yet seemed eager to put to
profit
Gustave Herve in the Victorie con-
cludes his article on the note as fol-
lows:
To-day let all the allies repeat after
President Wilson to the German people
and until they hear us no peace with
the Hohenzollerns!
Policy of People Too
The Libre Parole, in an article which
has been censored considerably, says
that to, distinguish between the re-
sponsibilities of the German people
and their leaders is an absolute contra
diction with all teaching of facts. The
policy of Germanic expansion, it adds.
is not the ambition of party, but a
fundamental aspiration of the German
people.
President Wilson's language, HUI
mantle declares, is that of lofty reason
which ignores cupidity and hatred. It
may make itself heard by the German
people whom it asks to repair the evil
they have done and then to take their
place among the other nations without
their right or existence being men,
aced.
1T is to the German people" it adds,
that President Wilson has made reply
in answering the pope. If the pope
has been only the mouth piece of the
central powers, President Wilson's
reply was the most direct and the
wisest it was possible to make. If the
German people want peace they know
just on what conditions it can be OBJ
tanned"

PROPOSALS NOT REJECTED
SAYS CATHOLIC NEWSPAPER

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 1.-THE Catho.
lie Tijd says that while President Will
son in his reply to the pope condemns
the imperial German government, he
takes care not to reject the funda-
mental proposals of the papal note and
even subscribes to the note in the
main. The pope's proposals are still
alive and good will on both sides will
more and more associate itself with
them. In the long run, the paper con-
cludes, the belligerent peoples must
meet on the basis now accepted condi-
tionally, even by President Wilson.

POPE PLEASED AT COURTESY
IN PRESIDENTS ANSWER

ROME, Thursday, Aug. 30-De.
laye6-Count De Sails, the British
minister at the Vatican, who present
ed President Wilson's reply to Pope
Benedict, received the impression that
the pope, although disappointed at the
presidents refusal to undertake nego-
tiotions on the lines laid down in the
papel note. was touched by the nobility
and dignity of the presidents reply,
and courtesy toward him personally.
The Holy Father, he added, also felt
grieved at the Implying condemnation
of Germany's perfidy.

During the aggressive offensive on
