THE POPE'S APPEAL FOR PEACE.
COMMENT BY "THE TIMES." LONDON, .August 2. "The Times" points out that. the Berlin correspondent' of the " Frankfurter Zeitung," whose' information almost invariably emanates from the (German Government, foreshadowed the Pope's appeal for peace. On Tuesday he forwarded to his paper a summary of a letter published by the journal "A.8.C." in Madrid from a correspondent at Rome, stating that. Cardinal Gasquet had disclosed the fact that the Pope,. - notwithstanding the*failure of hijrformer suggestions; was engaged in preparation for action aiming at > arranging a truce. In this action the whole episcopate of the belligerent countries would co-operate in a united and organised manner. "The Times" says the Pope has repeatedly pleaded for peace sinco the beginning of his Pontificate. In'the alleged inter- { views with the American-German and French journalists ho has seemed to push his spiritual neutrality to the point of ignoring tho German atrocities, although he expressly condemned , the violation of Belgian neutrality, and j protested against the ill-treatment of the Belgian clergy.
