BRITISH DENIAL OF
 PEACE NEGOTIATIONS
Made in the House of Commons by
 David Lloyd George.

London, Oct 2S, 4.O6 p. m.-An em- phatic denial that Great Britain was engaged in any peace negotiations. di- rect or indirect, was made by David Lloyd-George, the minister of muni- tions in reply to a question in the house of cdmmons today.
 MT. Lloyd George spoke for Premier Asquith, when the question. of which Amman Bryce had given notice, came up. The query was as to whether un- official exchanges of views had been carried on between Berlin and London with the possible object of the con- clusion of an early peace and whether inquiries of similar nature had been made by official 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 to the. query as to whether the premier still, adhered to the declaration in this Guild hall speech that Great Bri- tain should not sheathe her sword "un- til the freedom of Europe was se- cured" MT. Lloyd-George continued:
 I've shall not think of entering any peace negotiations except in common with. our allies in accordance with tho agreement made in September, 1914

shall We have not finished investi- gating. Yet we have no basis for any further arrests
 That Fay had completed three steel shells with springs and clockwork mechanism ready for attachment to a vessel and had the explosives prepared to place into the shells was explained by police officials today in answer to questions whether arrests of Fay and Walter L. Scholz, his brother-in-law, last Sunday. had not been made before sufficient evidence had been obtained against other persons. The police as- sert that had the arrests been. delayed it would have given Fay an opportu- nity to carry out his threat of placing bomb on a ship.
 John c. Knox, assistant United States district attorney, was sent to Weehawken to examine the scene where Fay carried on his experiments. He visited Fay's rooms and the boat house on the Hudson river, where ex- plosives were stored. The cases of the five men are to be presented to the federal grand jury next week. pr. Herbert Kienzle, charged with complicity in the conspiracy, obtained his rhelease on $25.000 bond today.
