BELGIUM TO SPURN
GERMAN PROFFER
Terms of Evacuation "Un
thinkable," King Albert's
Minister to U. S. Says
NATION IS UNDAUNTED
LONDON, Sept. 28.
Germany has secretly communicated
to tho Pope that the Central Powers
will go much farther to obtnin peace
than the formal reply to the Pope's
peace note indicated, according to n
dispatch from Rome today.
Bv a Staff Corrrar.on.dVnr
WASHINGTON. Sept 28.
Belgium spurns with Indignation the
terms of the Intest proposal put forth by
Germany regarding nn evacuation of Bel
glum. With her spirit undaunted by her terrible
bufferings In tho war, and with tho Iror,
heel ot Prussian despotism still prcs"-en
down upon her throat, Belgium declare
sho will fight on to the last drop of her
blood rather than make anv pcaco with
Germany that would compromise her Bover
elgnty nnd her honor.
In this fashion did Mr. de Cnrtlcr, th
Belgium Minister In Washington, nssurn
tho Kveni.S'ii LEDriKn correspondent thai
Belgium would never consent for a moment
to the proposal contained In the latest In
spired utteranco from Germany rcgardlnu
an evacuation of Belgium "under certain
conditions."
Mr. do Cartler mado It plain that ho ban
received no information that tho statement
was put out by Germany as an ofllci.il sug
gestion, nnd that ho had not discussed tho
matter with his Government. Ho Indicated
that It wan rather from his knowledge ot
Belgian thought when ho declared that
Germany must evneuato Belgium uncondi
tionally, nnd characterized ns "absurd non
sense" tho terms put forth In tho German
statement as tho basis of nn evacuation
agreement
It was In tho same connection that tho
13vnstsn Lnnoun correspondent was given
to understand that tho Belglnn Govern
ment has olllclnlly replied to the pcaco pro
posals put forth by Popo Benedict Tho
answer, which followed In point of tlmo
that of tho United States, It was Indicated,
is ti polite nnd reverential note, but ono
which Informs His Holiness In terms of
highest dignity and solemn firmness that
Belgium cannot nccept his suggestions for
n, pcaco conference Although It was not
permitted tho correspondent to examine tho
text of tho reply, he has been Informed
that It Indicates to tho Popo that Belgium
can never discuss peuco so long ns tho
Invader Is on her soil
Tho proposal regarding Belgium was put
out from Germany last Wednesday, ac.
cording to a press dispatch emanating from
