THE POPE'S APPEAL.
COPENHAGEN, August 16
It is reported from Berlin that the ..Pope's intervention was in response to neutrals' appeals.
NEW YORK, August 16
Mr Samuel Gonipors (president of the American Federation of Labour) stated that working men cannot endorse the Pope's proposal because it does not eliminate Kaiserism.
LONDON, August 16
The Daily-Mail states that the hand is the Pope's, but the voice is the Kaiser's. The British Empire would fly to pieces if the Allies entertained the Pope's proposal to restore the German colonies. That is why the proposal has been put forward, as the Germans are cunningly calculating that the mere discussion of such terms would rouse doubts and dissensions. The harder Germany is pressed the more desperately she will devise expedients to divide the Allies. We must resolutely refuse to discuss the terms ■before victory in attained.
