Show POPE BENEDICT STRONG FOR PEACE ROME, Feb. 22. Reports received by the Vatican, says the Giornale d'ltalia, show that Germany, although maintaining an excellent military position, feels seriously seri-ously the effect of the war, and therefore has modified materially her views on peace conditions to be imposed. The paper pa-per adds: "The pontiff considers such a condition of affairs lends itself favorably to diplomatic diplo-matic steps. He is reported again .to have interpellated Emperor William to know on what conditions Germany would be disposed to negotiate peace, observing that in any case the military honor ot Germany is safe." |
