PROPOSALS OF PEACE.

AS every one knows, Pope
Benedict XIV has published to the
world his proposals for peace
among the belligerent nations.
The Holy Father has spoken. The
world has listened with reverence
and attention to the venerable
but strong and loyal occupant of
the Chair of Peter. Whatever
attitude the various nations en-
gagged in this titanic struggle may
assume, the fact remains that the
whole civilized world has paused
for a moment to listen to the
words emanating from the great
est moral authority on earth. The
reverential attitude shown by
the world towards the peace mes
cage has been a great gain for
the papacy inasmuch as it indi-
Gates that the Supreme Pontiff is
universally recognized as the one
great moral authority Of the
world.
Amid the storm and stress of
contending millions, through the
clouds of revolution and racial
rancor, the papacy looms up as a
high mountain extending far
above even the storm-capped
peaks Of human ambition and
fury. In these higher regions of
the world the Pope stands serene
and calm, looking down upon the
struggle of man against man, and
views practically the entire earth
transformed into a human sham
bles. Serene and firm in his con-
seriousness Of moral right and au-
thority, the Holy Father extends
a paternal hand to the children of
men to lift them up to the plane
of peaceful equality. The message
which he sends forth is the dove
of peace bearing the olive branch
of the proposals which in his wis
dom he judges may be the basis
of harmony and of peaceful re.
construction. The ideas which he
announces are reminiscent of the
days when the Papacy was the
most powerful factor for good in
the civilized world. His effort re.
calls names like Ambrose OF
Milan, Innocent ", and the i'm
mortal Hildebrand.
What will happen is hard tc
tell. The various war parties are
so tenacious Of their own aims, sc
divergent in their demands, sc
confident of victory, that we car
but wait for the decisions Of the
various governments. Whether
the peace proposals are accepted
or not the road is at least open fol
further Intervention and discus
sion by the different parties inter
ested. Moreover, even in case o.
refusal on the part of thu
belligerents to accept the peace
proposals, their answers may con
tain reasons that will furnish {
| basis for a future appeal and dis
cussion. In this way even a re
fusal on the part of the various
governments may shelter thu
germ of future victorious inter
vention on the part Of the Hol.
| Father.

THE POPE's APPEAL.

The World-Herald Of Omaha,
Nebraska, in a leading editorial,
recently said in part with regard
to the Pope's peace proposal:
"The peace proposals that come
from the Vatican are Of solemn
moment. Since the Russian revo-
luton and the entrance of the
United States into the war there
has been no other occurrence OF
such Importance to the world.
Pope Benedict's proposals to
the belligerent governments are
weighty because Of the grave
seriousness of the situation that
inspires them, because Of the ex-
allied source from which they
come, and because Of their SINH
larity, in most essentials, to the
terms suggested by President Will
son last January, when it was still
hoped that the United States
might be permitted to fill the
lofty role Of peacemaker.
cit is important that every
American citizen, every lover of
liberty, should recall to mind
these statements of the fundamen-
tails of a just and enduring peace,
now that all the governments en-
gagged in war, our own included,
are challenged by, the supreme
head of a great and historic
Church to an open-minded consid-
Grafton of the subject.
That such consideration will
be accorded we may accept with
out question. Perhaps few if any
belligerent governments will be
favorably impressed with Pope
Benedict's suggestions as whole.
Perhaps the most of them will be
inclined to reject them. But
nevertheless, with the proposal
coming in the way it does and
from the source it does, it is not
too much to hope that a way will
have been opened in which the
two great groups OF allies, with
the least embarrassment to their
several members, can present and
mutually consider their own ideas
Of the conditions on which the
war might be ended.
"Pope Benedict, we may be
sure, had considered we'll all the
obstacles to peace before he acted
But he acted hopefully, neverthe
less, and because he conceived il
his Christian duty to act, to save
civilization from destruction. The
same motives that appealed te
him must appeal, with equa
force, to the responsible heads as
well as to the peoples Of all the
nations at war. From our owl
government we may confidently
anticipate a response BETTING the
ideals and traditions OF the
American people and their pur
poses in this war. Meanwhile
| that government must continue tt
| have the unfaltering support o.
the whole people in the vigorous
prosecution Of its war program
as the safest and surest steI
toward an early peace. On this
more than on all else, will depend
| the disposition of the German gov
| eminent to consider peace terms
that will make the world safe fol
| America.

President Wilson has conferred

President Wilson has conferred
military rank on officers of the
American National Red Cross.
General army orders were issued,
fixing the titles, and describing
the uniforms. The two chief
officers-former President Will
liam Fl. Taft, and Henry P. Davi-
son-have been given the rank of
major-general. Secretary Baker
made it clear that these commits
sions conferred no military au-
thority, imposed no obligation
and carried no pay or allowances
granted to answering grades in
the U. S. army.

that it will be known all over the
world that the uniform is worn
only by clean men.

Cardinal Begin, Archbishop of
Quebec, Canada, has issued a
vigorous protest against drafting
young men who are studying for
the priesthood. 1t is to be hoped
that our highly respected neigh

Cardinal says, imprudently sow,
on this side of the Atlantic, the
seeds of the fatal religious dis.
cords that have divided the old

world to stay. -

Baker Is Consistent

Deaawcod Telegram: Secretary
of War Baker, in his annual re-
port, was outspoken in opposition
to the proposed law for universal
compulsory military training IN
the United States. And because
of.this opposition to militarism as
the nations future policy, he has
been much abused by mil;tarists
and hellamaniacs.
However, it should be apparent
Itoianyone with q medicum Of in
telligence and reasoning power
that Secretary Baker is more con-
isistent than his critics.
/ The great world war is attribut-
ed by the militaf lists to "Prussian
militarism." They assert that the
object of the war is to crush mill
rarism and make the world safe
for democracy. Ii the United
states and the nations with which
it is allied in the war are triumph
ant, militarlsm is to be done away
with, and arbitration is to take
the place of war IN settlement Of
internatiensl disputes. There is
Ia be general disarmament, except
as may be necessary to preserve
order at home, and an 'inserna-
tioHal police force" to keep the
peace between nations.

by the masses Of the people of all

their varying viewpoints IS To

BABE RUTRS PUNCH

Big SOuthpaw Most Valuable Player
With Red SOx.

Babe Ruth stands the chance OF hav-
ing punched the Red Sox completely
out OF the hunt for the bunting in
Ban Johnson's circuit. Harking back
to the days Of Tom Lynch as boss OF
the National League, it develops that
Lynch once laid off Sherwood Magee
for an entire season for taking a
crack at an umpire. II that is the
size OF the dose handed out to Babe
the popular slogan in Boston will be:
Good night"
Ruth has led the American League
Fingers for two straight seasons and
probably was on his way to a third
time at the top OF the string when
his run-in with Brick" Owens came
off Saturday.
Out of 16 games pitched, Ruth has
won IL. Eight OF these he captured
in a row.
Aside from his pitching prowess,
Ruth Is something Of q helper along
other lines. His hitting amounts to
an average of ,40s, including all
games in which he has appeared.
When not pitching he manages to get
a little out of life doing Jack Barry'B
pinch smuggling.
One pitcher always hold up the
leading clubs. History records II.
Ruth undoubtedly is the history man
for the Red SoX. What happens to
Ruth and the Red Sox Is up to Ban
