The Pops's Peace Proposals..

Has Pope Benedict been mislsd by
German duplicity?
That question Is the first to arise in
the mind of thinking American, ana
probably at the capital of every one OF
the allied nations.
The ingenuity Of the Prussian plot
tcrs in trying to bring about a peace
conference has surprised the diplomats
o. every people The Stockholm con-
ference of work!ngmen having flzzled
because instantly recognized as
German scheme. new plan appears
from Rome. None questions the sin
cerity Of the Pope-but could Leo
have been led to intervene at this
critical stage? We doubt 1t.
TIE feeling grows among those who
are studying every move on the
checkerboard Of war. that the central
allies are determined to end the fight
ing before the winter months. even if
the peace conference lasts many
months more. P1ussian plotters have
realized al last that every hour makes
their case more hopeless. Austria is
determined on peace, and desperate
financial straits have been reached.
Food substitutes have gone the limit.
and the unceasing pressure on the
west front is having its effect on the
morale of the army. The failure, in
measure, of German plotting in Russia
destroys one more hope. Peace must
be had-on the best obtainable terms
While making much of every shred
Of paciflst poltroonery and nondes
cript agitation in the United States
for the building of false hope among
the people of Germany. the Prussian
war lords SEQ the rapid and sure
growth of an overwhelming enemy in
America. They understand the mean
Ang of a million magnificent men in
1ected into the war at a time when
Germanys man resources have been
taxed to a pitiful necessity by three
years Of carnage. They know the GER
tain result of Americas food embargo
and the dumping of untold millions of
gold into the war hopper against
Prussianism.
Germany MUST have peace-for
Austria WILL. within a matter of a
few months.
Our suspicious of the inspiration of
Pope Benediot's peace proposals are
rot relieved by the inclusion with the
restoration Of Belgium, Serbia. and
,Roumania and peaceful solution of the
problems of Alsace. Lorraine. Trent
Trieste and Poland. of the insstence
that eli 0errany's colonies be returned
to her. That proposal at the outset
seems well calculated to divide the
entente allies in conflicting discussion
.: war aims.
Reduction of ornaments and settle
mant Of all international disputes by
arbitration might be expected in peace
proposals from any source. for that is
q world conviction. Also freedom of
tho seas, and no retaliatory. after-the-
war economic struggle for supremacy
must be expected as a first proposal
Eut 1t is also foregone conclusion
in the governments of America and
her allies. that generosity toward the
German people as a nation can only be
counted upon as a return for dead
PrUss.anism. The Hohenzollerns can
no longer hold Europe in terror Of
possible instant overthrow of all that
is democratic. Peace must be made
by the German people with the people
OF Europe and America. We have 1T
tie hope from the proposals Of the
-pope at this tiue--tney look too thin.
