THE

KORNILOFF ENQUIRY.

REPLIES TO THE POPE.

Amsterdam, September 21: The German reply to the Fope save that the Kaiser has long and gratefully followed bis Holiness's efforts to alleviate the suffer- iogs of the war and 10 hasten the end of hostilities. He cbarisbes lively desire that the Pope's latent efep will be successful. The Kaiser lengthily recbuute the efforts which he says he has made throughout his reign to preserve peace in the face of provocationa and temptaticne. He says that be strove till the last in the crisis. preceding the war peaceably to settle the conflict, and, after the outbreak, be was the first to declare his readiness to negotiate peace. The care with which the Imperial Government bae discussed and answered the questions raised in the Papel Nota proves how era. estly they desire to find a practical basis for a just and lasting pesce. The Goverdment welcome especially the conviction expressed by the Pope that in fatare the power of arma must be Foperseded by the power of right. We share the view of your Holiness regarding the importance of deänite rules and safeguards for the simultaneous reciprocal limitation of armaments and freedom of community of the era.

(Part of message missing)

Only on this condition can a lasting pance be founded, promoting an intellectual rapprochement sai the return to economic prosperity for humsu society. We hope our enemies also may find in the ideas of the Pope a basis for a preparation for peace corresponding to the spirit of ressonableness of the eitastion in Europe. The reply does not mention Belgiam. throughout the war we have always looked to your Boliness, The Austrian Emperor's reply to the Pupe's Note mye that who

is inaccessible towards peace. Therefore Austria, will wholeheartedly support the

to all influence, 10 fod 2 proposal that the belligerente negotiate towards an understanding with a view to the reduction of armamenis, the freedom of the sess and compulsory arbitration in international diepates. If agree. mente, realising this sublime idea, are reached, then it will not be difficult to settle the remaining qacations and the nations could attain complete freedom and movement of the seas, with soress towards new sources of prosperity.
