LONDON DON'T LIKE
 J. s. PEACE EFFORTS
Republican A. F. Leased wlrel

lEepubllcan A. F. Leased Wlrel
 LONDON, Nov 2S-Reports re- ceiVed from the United States that an organized effort is being made there with peace the objective. has brought out several editors in opposition to such a move.
 "If the allies are even reduced to an armistice by the American intrigues. ' says the Morning Post. they would re gard the United States a traitor to the cause of world freedom"
 The Morning Post argues that the Germans are willing for peace imme diately and would give the entente ev- erything they desire, but only on one condition, namely. that Germany be al- lowed a free hand in Central and South America
 We understand" the newspaper adds. that the condition has been put forward. of course, discreetly and un- officially. by the German government. and that it has|been rejected by the allies. But why should it be rejected2 We are selling our South American se- curAies and if the Americans really want peace and do not object to hay ing Germany for neighbor why should England intervene? Anytime in the last ten years, We could have had an agreement with Germany by allowing her a free hand across ;he Atlantic. Great Britain stands be- tween Germany and America like the counter-scrap of a fortress, and if the Americans induce us to peace before this job is finished, what they will have accomplished is to destroy their best defense against Germany
 The Americans, who. if We may say so with politeness. are rather painful lV iguorauf of E,uroupau affairs dp moi seem to realize what Germany is fight ing fOr--not merely the domination of Europe bun the domination of the world. And if the allies are defeated. what is there to stand against Ger many ?'

mainly concerned with the violation of the protection afforded by the British flag under which the Trent sailed and It is said that it was on that account the United States repudiated the action of it's naval commander. But 1t is held here that though secondary, the protest also was based on the right of diplo- matte officers to make their way to their posts in neutral countries without i molestation. It probably will be on that basis that the matter of Count Tarnows<i's interrupted mission will be taken up with the allies, for it Is well understood that the London foreign office is supported by France, Italy and Russia in it's action
 It was learned today that the state department so far has not made for maj request for safe conduct for the Austrian ambassador but has confined ltself to transmission of the request of the Austrian government for such a courtesy. Therefore it is probable that If the issue is to be made up it will be necessary for the United States now 10 make such a request on it's own ac- count.
 There Is an absence Of any precedent exactly fitting this case that requires the department to be very careful in assuming ground. and the text of the note handed Ambassador Page will be awaited before a decision as tO the course to be followed is reached. Great Britain's attitude if adhered to, would prevent q now Turkish ambas- sador and successors to Captains Boy Ed and von Papeu, former naval and military attaches of the German em- bNgeN TFpfn rea rhipa [ b. | uft ed States
 Negotiations regarding a new Turk ish ambassador aHe said to have been under way for some time lt is under stood however that the German gov ernmeut has no intention at this time of sending new naval and military attaches. because of tue belief that upon their arrNal in this country they would become subjects of suspicion and invostication.
