signs that the German government,
rearing that storm is soon to break,
Is taking precautionary steps to

The growing demand for peace in
Germany is gathering impetus from
many causes. but chief of these are
the following:
1. Increasing loss of human life.
z. Shortage of food and attend
ant privations.

that Germany is not responsible for a
prOlongation of the war; that Ger

negotiations today if the allies would
agree. Inspired articles in the press
and the public declarations of states
