PEACE TALK INTERT~we LONDON

LONDON. Sept. 4.---rn the absence
OF marked changes on any OF the bat
tie fronts, the English public has
again turned It's attention to the
diplomatic situation in the near east
and 60 rumors OF tentative efforts in
the direction of peace negotiations.
II is announced officially at Nish
that the final draft Of serbia's answer
to the note'of the Quadruple entente
is ready and Will be presented
shortly. II is presumed here that
the reply on the whole will be favor
able In regard TO concessions TO Rul-
garia. although little hope is enter
tanned that Serbia will grant its lat
enemy all the territory demanded 4
Macedonia.
Advices from Sofia Indicate that unless
the whole OF Macedonia Is conceded there
is little chance OF reestablishment OF the
Balkan league. II IL pointed out In Of
fical circles at tho Bulgarian capital that
compliance with the program of the en-
tente allies means actual participation In
the war, while agreement to the request
of the central powers implies merely
friendly neutrality, expressed in permit
ting the shipment through Bulgaria of
arms and other war supplies for the
Turks.
London Interested I'm Peace Talk.
Although Il has been established rather
definitely that London has no part in the
invitation of formal peace discussion. It
Ia plain that official circles are interested
keenly in the news of activity in this
direction.
There are straws In the wind which In

proper peace overturea" on the part Of
Germany would meet with consideration.
However. the general public. not 80 we'll
informed as IL the government, prob
ably would regard such overtures aa pre-
mature.
While diplomats are seeking to enlarge
the sphere of the war. and while talk Of
peace In in the air. the greatest struggle
continues along all fronts without inter
ruption. The Russians are fighting des-
perately along the Dvina, protecting the
shortest road to Petrograd. They are do
