opinion that the peace intervention
by Pope Benedict has had a strong
Influence upon the government's of
both Germany and Austria, anil that
the peace proposals soon to be issued
by these governments, will give ample
demonstration of this fact, it is stat
ed that the new proposal will con
cede practically all that has been
sought by the allies, the evacuation
of Belgium, renunciation of indem

Ron man la, and possibly the cession
of a part of Alsace-Lorraine to Prance
but, nothing is said concerning the

Officials here regard the report from
Amsterdam that Germany is about to !
make a new proposal for peace, by j
the terms of which much that the al ]
lies have demanded will he granted. |
and which, it is said, will be far more
liberal in every respect than any pro
posal heretofore made by that gov-1
ernment, as nothing more than her
previous proposals have been, merely !
feelers to ascertain the sentiment of
the Allies. They assert that in their
opinion the new proposal is designed ^
for no other purpose than to cause.
a slacking off of the military prepara- j
tions in the United States in the be- ]
lief that peace might he negotiated
without resort to arms. The officials]
state, however, that the proposal will |
have no such effect, and that prepara- J
tions will be rushed witli all speed.
At the State Department this morn
ing President Wilson's statement was
reiterated, that there can be no hopes
of peace nor any negotiations with
the Teutons until the Hohenzollern
autocracy no longer exists in Ger
