Rome, Thursday, May ga spe-
cial prayer during mass on ST. Pc
ter's day, June %, for the cessation
Of the evils tormenting humanity,
is urged by Pope Benedict in a spe-
ciaI message addressed TO the whole
world.
The end of the fourth year ap-
proaches since Europe is in con-
fiict," says the message During
this time the violence has never
diminished, but increased. so that
we never have had moments of re
lief from ever-increasing ills and
affections"
Continuing, the pope says that
owing to the ministry entrusted to
him by Providence, and animated
by the charity of Jesus Christ,
nothing has been left uninterrupted
TO remedy these affections. The
pontiff recalls the words Of King
Jehosaphat, praying:
Lord God of our fathers. thou
art God in heaven and rulest over
all kingdoms and nations. In thy
I hand is strength and power; none
can resist thee. We will cry to
thee in our affections and thou wilt
, hear and save us. Our God, as we
know not what to do, we can only
turn our eyes to thee
The pope urges the world to trust
in God, who is the arbiter of the
will of men Above everything,
| God. who is wrathful at such sins,
must be placated.
Humble entreaties and persever-
] ing prayers are the best means to
do this. He urges the clergy
throughout the world to divide the
sacrifice for this purpose on June

Germany Fails in Effort to
Get Scheme Broached
to President.

London, May 10.-A story how an
attempted German peace offensive
directed toward President Wilson
was turned down ANONYMOUSLY by
Professor Heron, an American liv-
ing in Geneva, is told by the Swiss
correspondent of the Daily Mail, in
his dispatch dated at Annemasse.
on the Franco-Swiss frontier. Pro-
fessor Heron is described as a
friend of President Wilson.
The German government, accord
ing to the correspondent, tried to
get peace offers sent to the presi-
dent through Professor Heron, who
was visited on April 19 by Profess
sor Quidde of Munich, a friend of
Count Won Hertling, the imperial
German chancellor. Professor
Quidde was accompanied by the
Dutch pacifist. DR.. John van Beck.
Professor Quidde said he had
come to prepare way Tor merci-
full peace and gave Professor Heron
to understand that he spoke 1or
Chancellor Won Hertling and the
German foreign office. He assured
the American professor that the
peace party in the Reichstag was
about to gain predominance in Ger
many and that he wished TO propose
President Wilson to take advantage
Of the auspicious moment.
Germany's Terms.
Germany, Professor Quidde said,
was willing TO make the following
terms:
First-To grant autonomy 10 AL
sace-Lorra:ne within the limits of
the German empire, provided the
allies would not broach the subject
of Alsace-Lorraine at the peace
conference.
Second-The Brest-Litovsk peace
treaties not to be discussed al the
peace conference, although the al
lies might submit claims for the re
vision of them, and Germany might
make certain concessions.
Third-No economic war against
Germany after the war
Fourth German colonies to be
restored
Professor Quidde asserted that
the present offensive in France had
the ultimate objective Of achieving
durable peace

IF you call the remorseless sac

United States to recognize your

and churches as part of IT you are
making a monstrous and foolish
blunder.

Heron was besieged by new offers

Since the attack on Zeebrugge,
the Vindictive has been filled with
