AMERICAN VIEW OF PEACE
PREDICTED WITHIN A YEAR THE POPE OFFERS MEDIATION CHINA JOINS BELLIGERENTS The Pope has renewed his offer of mediation to the belligerent Powers. It is authoritatively announced that America will listen to a bona-fide peace suggestion only if it ensures the attainments of the objects she had in entering the war. It is not believed that the Pope's proposals will hasten the end, although in diplomatic quarters peace within twelve months is predicted. Two German torpedo-boats towed a large submarine to Zeebrugge. The submarine was rammed in the North Sea and severely damaged. A British destroyer was mined in the North Sea. The captain, two officers, and 43 men were saved. China has finally decided to declare war simultaneously on Germany and Austria. Only minor activities are reported from the western front, and there is no news from the eastern front.
