WASHINGTON, Sept. 22. The re
plies made by Germany and Austria
to Pope Benedict's peace proposal
contain nothing that will in any way
alter the position of the United
States as outlined in the reply of
President Wilson to the Pope.
The replies received in Associated
Press dispatches were closely studied
by all officials and diplomats here,
who gave indications that they were
little less than had been expected.

By Associated l'ress
AMSTERDAM. Sept. 22. The Ger
man reply to Pope Benedict's peace
proposal discloses special measures
taken by the government officials, in
close contact with the representatives
of the German people, to discuss the
problem of "proving how earnestly
they desired to find a basis for a just
and lasting peace."
Advices state that the Germans
want a just and lasting peace and
agree with His Holiness that such a
peace must be based on the submis
sion of international differences of
opinion to arbitration and in this re
spect Germany is ready to support
every proposal compatible with the
interests of the German Empire and
the German people.
The reply says that the basis of
such a peace is clearly expressed by
His Holiness in the reduction of the
future material power of arras and to
substitute for, these the moral power
of right and international jurispru
prudence. Ready to Abandon Conquest I

the government has taken in close
contact with the German people for
proving "how earnestly they desire to
find a basis for a just and lasting
peace," indicate strongly the attitude
of Germany to listen to peace sugges
tions without conquest.
The Imperial government greets
with special sympathy the leading
idea of the peace proposal, (wherein
His Holiness expresses the injunction
that for the future peace of the world
the power of arms must be reduced
and for these substituted moral pow

"We are also convinced that the
sick body of human society can be
made whole only by exerting its
strength for right. From this will
follow, according to His Holiness, a
diminution of arms by all the powers
of the world and arbitration accepted
for all international disputes," the
note says. It further states:

What Austria Says.
Austria's reply to the Pope says:
"With due veneration and deep
emotion we take cognizance of the
new representations your Holiness, in
fulfillment of the holy office intrusted
you by God, make to us and the heads
of the other belligerent states, with
the noble intention of leading the
heavily tried nations to a unity that
will restore peace to them.
"With a thankful heart we received
the fresh gift of fatherly care which
you, holy father, always bestow on
all peoples without distinction and
from the depth of our heart we greet
the exhortation which your Holiness
has addressed to the governments of
(he belligerent peoples.
"During this cruel war we have al
ways looked up to your Holiness as
to the highest personage, who, in
virtue of his mission which reaches
beyond earthly things and, thanks to
the high conception of his duties
laid upon him, stands high above the
belligerent peoples and who is inac
cessible to all influence, was able to
find a way which may lead to the
realization of our own desire for
peace, lasting and honorable, for all
parties."
The Austrian emperor admits that
the future arrangement of the world
must be based on the elimination of
armed force and on the rule of inter
national justice and legality.

SLAVS IN RETREAT

Taken.
By Associated Press
LONDON, Sept. 23. In the midst of
Russia'3 internal trouble has come
anomer liermnn strnkr nn tun nnrfn-
! ern front re3UltinK ... the canture of
. . .
me uuuHeueau uuu me town ok jacoo-
stadt on the Dvina and the enforced
retirement of the Russians in this re
gion to the extern bank of the river.
The fall of the bridgehead gave the
Germans possession of new territory
on a front of approximately twenty
five miles and six miles in depth, en-
I abling them to push their lines to
the "estbank of the Dvlna in this
area. They took only 400 prisoners
from the retreating Russians, but
gathered fifty guns from the aban
doned positions.
Dramatic as this suddenly developed
operation was, it seems unlikely to
develop anything comparing in im
portance in its effect upon the general
military situation with a desperate
battle still in progress on the Flan
ders front.
Loath to give up the valuable
bridges the British wrested from them
Thursday, the Germans continued to
launch desperate counter-attacks
from their battered Flanders line and
to encompass with determination
every effort of Field Marshal Haig's
forces to Improve their positions.
This fighting has been very costly
to the Germans in casualties and the
London official statement lays stress
on the exceedingly severe character of
their losses.
The German command seems par
ticularly reluctant to surrender their
slight elevation west of Gheluvelt,
close to the Ypres-Menin road. Fierce
fighting developed there on Saturday,
the 'engagement centering about the
positions known as the Tower Ham
lets. Press dispatches indicated that
up to noon there had been no cessa
tion of the struggle, the tide of battle
flowing back and forth within a nar
row area.
Berlin's official statement makes no
claim of any ground recovered from
the British. It records the fighting
of Friday, the day following the ini
tial British dash, as marked by a con
tinuation of British attacks along
the Langemarck-Hollebeke front,
which were repulsed, and describes
Saturday's engagement as "fighting of
a local character which resulted in
German successes."
Regarding the air fighting on
Thursday and Friday, the customary
comparison is given by Berlin of
German and Entente losses in ma
chines. Thirty-nine hostile machines
were shot down on those days by the
Germans, it is declared, while only
three German machines were lost.
This differs very notably from the
British official account, which men
tions ten German planes destroyed
and six driven out of control. The
probable loss of ten British machines
classed as missing is admitted by
London.
The complete text of the German
and Austrian replies to the papal
peace note show that neither lays
down any definite terms as a basis
for peace.
