Object of the War to Deliver the World Menace. | It would be folly to take this path of peace if it does not lead to the goal he (the Pope) proposes. The object of this war is to deliver the free peoples of the world from the menace of a vast military estab- lishment controled by an irrespons- ible Government. Germany secretly planned to rule | the world without regard to obliga- | tions of treaty or established prin- ciples of international honor. It chose its own time to delives its war blow and stopped at no barrier of mercy: or law, sweeping an entir- continent in a tide of blood, the in- nocent blood of women and children. It is our business to see that the history of the rest of the world is no longer left to the handling of this power. To deal by peaceful ways with this Power on the Pope’s plan would on- ly recuperate that Power's strength and renew its hostile policy, result- ing in abandoning free Russia to its | malign influences. Americans have suffered intolerable wrongs from Imperial Germany, but do not seek reprisals upon the Ger- man people. Peace must rest on rights of the people, not on Governments’ rights. Washington, D. Aug. 28.—Pres- ident Wilson has rejected the Pope's | proposals. In a note dispatched last night and made public here tonight, the Presi- dent says that while every heart not) hardened by the’ terrible war must’ be touched by the moving appeal of his Holiness, it would be folly to take the path of peace he points out if it does net in fact lead to the goal he proposes. To deal with faci a power as the present rulers of Germany upon Pope Benedict's plan, declares the President, would involve a recupera- tion of the strength and renewal of the world domination of that power, now balked, but not defeated, after sweeping a continent.with the blood of innocent women and children and the helpless poor as well as of sol- diers. Permanent peace must be based on the faith of all the peoples and upon justice and fairness and the common rights of mankind, he adds, and “we cannot take the word of the present rulers of Germany as a guarantee of anything that is to endure unless ex- plicitly supported by sueh conclusive evidence of the will and puurpose of the German people themselves as the other peoples of the world would be justified in accepting.” To the Subscribers of the Butler- Rich Hill Telephone Conipany.
