DAVID LLOYD-GEORGE
 DENIES PEACE RUMOR
Great Britain Has Received No Peace Representations Whatsoever, Says
 Munitions Minister

London, October 2S.-An emphatic de- nial that Great Britain was engaged in any peace negotiations. direct or in direct. was made by David Lloyd George. the minister of munitions, in reply to a question in the House of Com mons to-day.
 MT. Lloyd-George spoke for Premier Asquith when the question came up. The query propounded by Annan Bryce, was as to whether unofficial exchanges of views had been carried on between Der lin and London with the possible object of the conclusion of an early peace and whether inquiries had been made by of- ficial representatives of any neutral power.
 Certainly not" was the reply of the minister of munitions. "The words of the prime minister still hold good, he added, referring not only to the question of peace negotiations. but spe- officially to the query as to whether the premier still adhered to the Guildhall speech that Great Britian should not sheath her sword until the freedom of Europe was secured"
 MT. Lloyd George continued:
 We shall not think of entering any peace negotiations except in common with our allies in accordance with the agreement made in September. 1914"

REAL STORY OF BOMB PLOT HAS NOT YET
 BEEN UNEARTHED
Government Unconvinced by Fay's Story-Unable to Trace the
 Men Higher Up

New York, October 2S.-All the all leged evidence obtained by the gov ernment against the five men charged with conspiracy in plotting to disable steamships laden with war munitions for the allies by placing clock-worked bombs on the vessels rudders or pro- pellers, is contained in the confession of Robert Fay, who said he was lieu tenant in the German army and in the explosive materials found in his pos session.
 This was announced today by Will liam J. Flynn, chief of the secret serv- ice, and H. Snowden Marshall, United States district attorney. Both officials asserted that none of the documents taken from Pays room in Weehawken, N. J.. threw any light as to who were Fay's financial packers. if he had any, or tended to show any connection be- tween Fay's acts in the United States and officials in Europe. Fay himself said in his confession that his plan to obstruct war intuition ships was ap- proved by German secret service off cials but, according to MT. Marshall, no evidence other than Fay's word has been obtained.
 ''The government is far from con vfnced that the real story of the plot has been unearthed'' said Mir Mar shall. We have not finished investi- gating Yet we have no basis for any further arrests"

ments remains secret. that they are of considerable size may be judged from the fact that, although Gen. Sir Charles c. Munro. recently appointed to command the Gallipoli operations is already on the spot the government has decided to send Maj. Gen. Bryan T. Mahon, who com manded the columns that relieved Mafe- kin in the South African war. to cooper ate with the French.
 Great anxiety exists as to the attitude of Greece. It is known that Austria. Ger many and Bulgaria have complained of the continued hospitality shown the allies at Saloniki, and one account goes SO far as to say that the Greek government has asked the allies to leave Greek territory. Against this is the quoted assurance given by the Greek minister at Paris to the French government that Greece has no intention of committing any hostile act toward the allied troops.

RUSSIA SEEKS TO
 ESTABLISH CREDIT
 LOAN IN THE U. s.
Wants From Fifty to One Hundred Million on Terms Similar to
 the Allied Loan

New York, October 2S.-Agents of the Russian government, it was reported here today, are seeking to establish a credit loan in this country somewhat similar to the recent $500.000. 900 Anglo French credit loan--although no bond issue is contemplated-of from $50, 900. 900 to 5000 900 and more if it can be obtained.
 In one quarter it was said Russia would pay as high as g per cent inter- est This report added that the loan probably would be for IS months and would be in the neighborhood of $60.- 000,00 It was said a definite an- nouncement might be forthcoming soon.
 The sum said to be sought would be spent entirely in this country for sup plies. The volume of supplies leaving here for Russian ports is reported to be enormous. Imports are at their low est ebb in years and consequent dis turbance of the foreign exchange mar kets has reduced the value of Russian rubles in this country to recent low record of almost 40 per cent of depre- ciation.

 Aristide Briand. who held the office of minister of justice in the late cab met and who was premier in 1913, in statement respecting the changes in the cabinet, said that he had received no official mandate. as there was no ministerial crisis. Throughout the day he conferred with political leaders Of all shades with the purpose of reor- ganizing the ministry to include the best available men in the country It is believed that M. Briand will be of fcially invested with the mission of forming a new cabinet as soon as his selections for the various portfolios are made.

 All of the sisters escaped. but Mother Superior Marie Carmelita was serious ly burned.
 How the fire started mayNnever be known. The first word of the blaze, it is believed, came from tardy pu- pill who smelled smoke and reported it to the mother superior. The children had just finished morning prayer when the gong sounded for fire drill. Mother Marie hurried to tell the sisters of the actual danger and the movements of the fire drill were quickly started. A few days ago in a practice drill the building was emptied within two min utes. It would have been cleared in almost the same time today. in the opinion of some but for the falling of a child believed to be a cripple, in the front vestibule. Over her body, child after child, pressed on by the crowd behind, stumbled and fell. The opening was choked and escape cut off.

Berlin. October 2s.-(By Wireless to Tuckerton. )--Denial that Lieutenant Colonel Miassoyedoff, an interpreter on the stan of the Russian tenth army. who sometime ago was hanged as German spy, ever was a spy, was made by the official Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung.
