GERMANS SPEAK
 OF PEACE
NEWSPAPERS FROM BERLIN SAY THAT RUMOR OF PEACE
 IS POSSIBLE
GERMAN CHANCELLOR
Of Officials, But May Fail On Account of Heavy
 Demands

AMSTERDAM, Dec. 2-News- papers from Berlin contain articles on the possibility of peace, and say that negotiations to that end may be said to be progressing, although doubtful of immediate success, due to the heavy demands by every power involved in the war.
 One paper says editorially that unless a compromise be agreed up- on, war will continue indefinitely. As to what powers the paper re- fers to is problematical. Evidently, the circulation of the peace rumor is official, but names are withheld from publication for reasons not quite apparent. However, it is known that the first steps have been taken looking up to near future adjustment of difficulties.

NEGOTIATION IN HAND
A Beginning to An End of the War

BERLIN, Dec. 2-On unquestion- able authority, it was learned to- day that the Imperial Chancellor had expressed himself as favoling the discussion of peace terms as a beginning to an end to the war.

 The Tageblet this morning says that a canvas of the members of 'ha Reichstag revealed the fact that peace talk is nos favored and a res olution to that effect may be in troduced to reject any such propo- sition.

Commander Gheerardi is relied up
on to get the technical facts. 1t Is
said by naval people that in the de-
struction of vessels by mines or tor
pcdoes the parts of the casing of the
mine or TORPEDO may sometimes be
driven into the hull of the vessel and
that therefore some evidence may re-
main of what sank the EVELYN.
Ambassador Page at London is eX-
pected to get what the English GOV
ernment will have to say about the
matter. Great Britain has, of course,
denied several times that she is re-
sponsibe for floating mines, and she
has, from time to time, given Ameri-
can vessels opportunities for safe pi-
lotage through her fixed mine areas.
