London, Dec. 6th-A Reuters despatch
from Christiania says it is announced by the
Norwegian Ministry of Commerce that in
November 10 Norwegian vessels with a total
tonnage OF 3 1898 we're lost. The sinking Of
the Greek steamship "IpiFios", 1854 tons

London, Dec. 8th-An Amsterdam des-
patch to Reuters quotes the Berlin "Vor-
w@rte" as saying III reference to the salutes
and bell ringing in celebration OF the fall OF
Bucharest. Let US hope that all German
newspaper writer's will not regard themselves
as either guns or bells. Even if justified in
feeling elated we should remain moderete.
The victory in Roumania is q victory of de-
feuse aud does not open the prospect OF
dividing the world among US and our Allies.
Our enemies may suffer still greater defeats
but will remain strong and Can Still without
appearing ridiculous say that although beaten
they are not conquered. They recognize
defeat but believe they must be eventually
victorious. For this reason Sumner was
replaced by Trepoff and Asquith by Lloyd
George. We yet dare TO say, and If The
Governments dislike to hear il must shout it
in the ears of the nations, that we desire
peace.
Berlin, Dec. Ctr Via London-The Social
ist newspaper "Vorwerts", in an editorial on
the capture of Bucharest expresses the view
that the chief Significance OF the victory lies
in the disproof it furnishes OF the Entente
assertions that Chancellor Won bethmann-
Hollweg's expressed willingness to make peace
is dictated by Germany's weakness. The
newspaper argues tnat the present nomoht Is
especially suited to further efforts for peace
as the Teutonic conquests i'll Rumania make
further Entente talk about Germany's weak
ness ridiculous. 1t asks, who after Bucharest
dare interpret German peace speeches as
signs of weakness. The article concludes.
Never has peace been talked louder of more
passionately in Germany than during the
past few weeks, yet precisely these weeks
have matured what probably is the most
wonderful success Germany hns achieved
during this wal. Foreign Governments lack
the courage to nuke peace. The German
Government can and must bave it. 1t must
