PEACE PROPOSAL
WILL BE MADE
ON WHIT SUNDAY
THE HAGUE, May 1 — The Pope intends to issue a
new peace offer on Whit Sunday, May 19th. This is ac
cording to the Cologne newspapers, they are wiring this
information here today. The document will be of a more
pressing nature than former peace proposals and will con
tain concrete offers of mediation by the Pope with possible
co-operation of neutral countries. The information of the
Pope’s intentions reached Berlin where it is reported to
have been received “sympathetically.”
The above is not the first report emanating from Ger
many recently about peace. The Neuste Nachrichted, of
Munich, on April 23rd, said that the Pope was planning a
new peace proposal. When the western offensive assumed
a new phase, the Allies predicted that the Teutons would
make a peace offer in the event the German offensive ap
peared abortive. The Pope’s announcement, from a Bei
lin city, is possibly the beginning.
