SECOND PLEA FOR PEACE
POPE BENEDICT WILL PREPARE
ANOTHER APPEAL.
Pontiff viii Continue to Send Notes
to BeIIigerents for -Four or
Five Months.

Rome, Sept. 1.-After president
Wilson's answer to Pope Benedicts
peace proposal was presented by the
British minister at the vatican, Mon
signor Cerretti. newly appointed as
sistant secretary of state. immediate
ly took the document to the pope.
The pontiff does not read English.
but he had rapid verbal translation
made and he was much touched by
its wording. The pope remarked as to
the lofty sentiments expressed and
also the kindly, humane spirit and
manner" used by the President in re-
jecting the vatican's proposals, but as
to the answer received, he was unable
to repress his disappointment that his
efforts to check the war as yet were
unsuccessful
1t is not yet known whether the
pope will make immediate answer to
certain points in the note, or wait
until all the powers have replied and
then give the same answer to all.
However, it is certain that the pope
is daily preparing an immense
amount of documentary testimony to
prove that his principal points are
those already admitted or agreed to
by all the belligerents.
The point emphasized in President
Wilson's note that no one can have
faith in the honor of the German rul-
ers. or accept tLeir signatures to a
peace treaty. is problem that has TO-
cused the attention of the pontiff.
1t is evident that he was not con-
tent to cease his peace efforts but will
continue their discussion in further
notes. probably for the next four or
five months.
