= ONDON, England, August 15.-An
English authoritative source to-
- day is quoted as saying the So
called peace terms PROPOSED by Pope
Benedict have a distinctly German
flavor and, according to this authority,
are believed to have emanated from
Rome through Austria, which is pro-
nounced Catholic nation, as a test to
sound out the Allies frame of mind
in the interval since the German ten
tative peace offer.
In British circles the peace terms
would revert to the status quo which
is considered as just what Germany
is striving for.
1t is expected that the various
members of the Entente will reply to
the papal profter individually and no
Joint answer will be promulgated.
Some newspapers here also attrib'
ute the peace move of Pope Benedlct
to Austrian influence, while others
are refraining from passing any COM
ment until an official version is pup
lished. Indications are that the
terms are unacceptable to the En-
tente.
The lines, leading English news
paper, expresses establishment at the
vaticans ignorance of the opinions
held by the Allies and the United
States. THE whole tenor" says the
paper, editorially, of the note bears
the mark of German inspection"
