Peace Talk Is Ignored
Generally by Germans;
One Paper Slaps Critic

BERLIN. September 4. by wireless to
Sayville. N. Y.-The German press is
paying little attention to reports from
Washington and elsewhere of a move
ment for peace. The only newspaper
which thus far has commented on this
subject is the Cologne Gazette, which
is quoted as follows by the Overseas
News Agency:
"Bungling attempts OF the British
press for the purpose of spreading dis
trust in Germany, Austria and Turkey
are loves labor lost. The world has
been forced to adapt itself to the idea
that the new triple alliance is holding
together. The reason that the press
of countries hostile to Germany is TAX
ing up the peace propaganda more Wig
orously may be found in the wish to
preserve what may still be rescued be-
fore the collapse.
This propaganda should not be taken
seriously except where the wish for
peace is openly expressed and defeat is
admitted. 1t is necessary to understand
that what it is impossible to achieve
with weapons it is impossible to &C
complish by intrigueS."

PARIS. September 4.-The ministry

The ministry announced that the gov
eminent had determined to reserve for
such men a large number of places
without regard to their political or re-
ligious beliefs, because all had served
the country with equal courage and
had the right to equal recognition.
This announcement is regarded in
Paris as further evidence of the perma-

MILLIONS SUBSCRIBED To
NEW GERMAN WAR LOAN
Everything Points to Highly Sue
cessful Outcome for Present
Undertaking.

BERLIN, September 1, via London
The third German war loan. announced
this week, is attracting much attention
in all circles and it is stated that every
thing indicates the subscription will
be highly successful.
A considerable number Of big sub
scriptions already have been announc-
ed. The Krupp family has subscribed
100000 marks (s1o.000.0 0O). and the
Berlin municipality 45,000,00o marks
($11, 25o,ooo). Many compa MES have sub
scribed several millions each. The be-
lief is expressed IN banking circles.
however. that such company subscrip-
tions will be fewer than in March.
since many concerns that were well sup
piled with raw materials when the war
broke out, and were able to continue
their operations. and put their profits
into the March loan, lately have earn
ed no profits, the raw materials hav-
ing been worked up.
Many Small Subscribers.
1t is expected, on the other hand
that small subscribers will be mar
shaled in greater numbers than ever
Some large employers of labor and
clerical help are making advances in
wages and salaries to assist their en-
ployes in subscribing.
The financial press has advocated that
Germans sell foreign securities to rails,
money for subscribing, since the gair
on exchange makes it advantageous te
sell now. The Tageblatt. however
warns against selling certain Ameri-
can bonds in view Of the depress-
ed price in New York. The newspaper
expresses the opinion that it is better
to hold the bonds for price recoveries
after the war.

Pope Benedict's peace efforts. expressing
the view that Germany desires to have
President Wilson further the wishes of
the Pope.
The Secolo remarks that the very rea-
sons which might make peace desirable
for Germany would cause it to be dis
astrous to the allies
Peace at the present moment would be
victory for Germany" this newspaper
says, giving impunity today and triumph
tomorrow to German militarism."
The opinion is expressed by the Secolo
that President Wilson, while expressing
appreciation of the Popes move, will
postpone any efforts of his own for one
or two years.
