middle of October is confidently be.
leved by British military and civil Of
ficials.
According to apparently well au.
thenticated rumors that reached Lon.
don, Germany, having suffered huge
losses in the recent allied offensive,
is trying to arrange for an armistice
through the United States or Spain.
1t is understood that King Alfonso

ant success would most likely have a
favorable effect upon his reelection

inside British sentiment are certain
that such move would be foredoomed
10 failure and would arouse so much
resentment among the allies as to per
manently eliminate the United States
as possible mediator.
