C,, April 13 —(Special to Dally Democrat) —President Wilson has received no definite proposal from the pope relative to an endeavor to restore peace in Europe, he told callers today. Several persons authorized to speak for the Vatican have assured him, he stated, that when the time comes for action, his holiness will gladly co-operate in any plan that may be suggested.
