POPE BENEDICT WILL PLEAD FOR PEACE from First Page.] the move would take the fornrv of "a word of warning addressed to the universal conscience." May Be "Pence Offensive'' A dispatch from Stockholm Tues day reported that a message from Basle announced that Emperor Charles of Austria was ' making a new peace offer, appealing to Italy lo consider it In her own interests. That a "peace offensive" would he made by the central powers in the event that the German offensive on the west appeared abortive has been predicted frequently in allied capitals. This may be the begin ning. Pope Benedict's peace proposals last August were preceded by reports through neutral countries that he was about to take such action. The Pope proposed the restoration of territory captured by the central powers; peaceful settlement of the Alsace-Lorraine, Trentino and Pol ish questions, reduction of all arm aments and the freedom of the seas. President Wilson, in replying for the American and entente govern ments, refused the proposals. The reply of the central powers, made some days after that of President Wilson, expressed hope that the Pope's efforts would result in a ces sation of hostilities.
