iluence the kaisers consideration Of
fhesc peace terms, was made in influ-
entia Vatican circles today.
Odlcial comment on the matter was
refused at the Vatican. The report
however declared that the Pope had
called the attention OF the Catholic mon
arch Of Austria-Hungary to the cor
respondence which had been exchanged
relative TO the Pope's own peace ef-
forts as bearing on consideration OF the
Presidents terms.
There were persistent, although unof-
fetal rumors today, that the Holy fa-
Their would eventually gather up the
threads Of the Allied terms and those
stated by the Central Powers and from
these try to weave q fabric which
would serve as the ground work for
peace.
The United Press is able TO state that
the pope regards America as the most
democratic element which would be
party TO a peace conference.-the party
which would be least likely to insist on
rigorous terms.
Therefore. although the Holy Father
was horrined at the constant widening
Of the sea Of blood story as one Vatican

the Pope welcomed Americas entrance

result in more democratic peace
