Terms of Peace.
BERLIN, Sept. 29.-Three opinions prevail in
Germany in regard to the question of terms of
peace. One party agrees with Bismarck that
the war ought not to stop until Alsace and Lor-
raine, including the fortified cities of Metz and
Strasburg are annexed to Germany, whence
they were taken. Another party demands that
Metz and Strasburg be dsmantled merely, and
that France indemnify Germany for the costs OF
the war. The third party limits the territorial
demand to Alsace, and narrow strip of sLor-
raine in the east, where German is still the pre-
vailpg language The Cologne Gazette favors
the latter plan.
