OTHER PAPERS OPINION.


II appears, from a dispatch dated Am
sterdam, that there has suddenly developed
A Germany 4 singular un~nimity among
various important newspapers a. to the
matter of peace and the terms ON which
il might now bc arranged. No less than
ten prominent dailicS on the same day
came ont with statements bearing on this
subject. As they all practically agree,
this can hardly nave been 4 coincidence,
especially when it i borne in mind how
extensive j. the German censorship. The
ten papers agree that there "should he no
peace talk before ~Germany's enemies are
willing Ia conccde German supremacy.
To discuss terms prior ~ that movement
would be futile. they all agree. a. having
u tendency to divide the German people
who are now united. Then, without cxcep-
.tlon, they define the least that Germany
expects IN the final settlement. The news
papers which came out with this stimuli
taneou~ expression of opinion are the
Rheinisch- Wcstfaelischc Zeitung. the Ham
burger Nachrichten. the koelni~chc lei
