Really Constructive
Policy Is Hoped
For
GERMANY LIKES
PONTIFF’S PLAN
Signifies Readiness for
Peace on Basis He
Offers.
RY CARL l). OROAT.
Rtaff Correspondent United Prnm» *
WASHINGTON. Aug 18— Presi
dent Wilson’s reply to the Pope’*
peace offer may afford an actual
working baais for hastening tho end
of tlie war.
Germany and Austria already
have moved in this direction, dis
patches from Rome say today.
Belief grows that the president,
in courteously declining the Holy
Se.-’s suggestion for ppace now,
will offer a constructive policy, in
which the liberals of the world may
find real encouragement.
Opinion Is strong here that de
cision on the scope of the allied
answer has been left up ffi the pres
ident.
Allied diplomats believed It so
thorolv that delayed vacations were
undertaken. The British. Italian
Find Chinese envoys left the city—
apparently assured that there is no
further need of consultation between
them and the state department over
the peace situation
Fou r of the president’s cabinet
likewise left on brief vacations.
No offbinl announcement, howe
ever, has been made as to the an
swi r, but Wilson’s advisors say he
will make the Fnited States posi
tion clear before the world.
The president will he deliberate
about hie course both because of
the importance of the document be
fore him. and likewise to avoid a
haste which would tend to affront
the Vatican and its followers.
Concrete suggestions have b*en
offered. They do not meet with
\men< ,tn government approval, hut
with a start thus made, it is possi
b’e tiie president may include in hfs
the general 'ernis of Amer
ica and her allies
Between the pope's proffer and
such a pre«lden?ia! answer, the Teu
tons \ <Mjld know ekactly Where they
«*and ne to concluding peace. If they
are sincere in wishing to bring It
a bout.
