ROME. Wednesday, September IL.
President Wilson's reply to the Aus
trian peace note was read with much
interest by Pope Benedict and Car
dinal Gasparrt, the papal secretary Of
state, and other officials Of the Vat
lean. who had been watching the de-
velopments closely. It is said that
the Presidents reply caused surprise
by reason Of its brevity, although 1t
was regarded as perhaps the only an
swer that was possible at the present
time.
There is every indication that the
Vatican will not make any effort to
press Austria's proposal upon entente
allied goxernments, notwithstanding
the request made in the note.
Observers of the policies Of the
Vatican claim that its peace ideas
are fully in harmony with those of
President Wilson. One indication of
the policy of the Vatican in this re-
spect is said to have been the strong
editorials in the Corriere D'Italia, the

an official statement received from
Vienna The statement reads:
From reports received from
abroad. the rejection of the Austro-
Hungarian governments suggestion
that a preliminary discussion of the
peace question be entered into can
hardly be longer doubted. The Off

ian's note has not yet been received
and therefore the reasons which
prompted the attitude of the govern
ments of the entente cannot be dis
cussed at present. Only from Secre-
tary Balfour is an exhaustive discus

arguments show how correctly Baron
Burian's proposal judged the Situation,
and that only the adoption of Baron

COPENHAGEN, September 19.-The
