Pope Benedict Eyes New Peace Terms For Germany
Washington reports confidential Vatican-drafted lines for a peace settlement. Proposals include restoring Belgium, paying for wrongs, allowing a German garrison at Antwerp, and autonomy for Lorraine with Alsace remaining German. The Vatican favors keeping Trieste outside Italian control and leaving the Balkan question to the peace conference. The pope supports President Wilson's call for democratization and envisions ongoing war dialogue with clear differences between German people and the government.

United Press reports from Rome say Pope Benedict views President Wilson as firmer for continuing the war than other belligerents. Vatican circles voice disappointment with Wilson’s reply but vow to press peace efforts. A second note is planned to outline peace aims and explore areas of agreement and dispute.
