BRITISH SAY GERMANY
WILL ASK FOR PEACE
BUT WILL NOT GET 1T

fact that the army, the navy and
political leaders are thoroughly united
in the determination to assume respon-
sibility if necessary for the wars con-
tinuation after Germany is willing to
quit. If this does become necessary
they will leave it to history to justify
the additional carnage in the interests
of the removal of the menace of mill
taryism.
1t is no secret that the Anglo
French are prepared both in numbers
and munitions to continue the present
offensive indefinitely regardless of
winter weather. Although there was
much nervousness year ago when any
definite peace proposals from Germany
on basis merely of abandonment of
the occupied territory might have been
considered alphabetically by the
military authorities in view Of the real
precariousness Of the situation, they
feel that now everything favors the
allies and that such an abandonment
of occupied territory would only be ia
Germany's advantage, enabling her to
shorten and strengthen her lines.
British soldiers only worry now Is
possible over optimism of civilians be
cause of their recent successes ant
those confidently expected in thu
future. They realize that the Germanl
are not yet beaten and that lonl
and arduous task still confronts them

London, Sept. 22.-Germany will set

middle of October, British offieialdom,
both military and civil confidently
expects.
Recent apparently well authenticat-
ed rumors have reached London that
Germany, suffering huge losses be-
cause Of the recent allied offensive, is
endeavoring to suggest an armistic
through Spain or the United States.
1t is understood in reliable authority
that King Alfonso SO far Is unrespon-
sive and is unlikely to act. The Ger
mans, it is believed here, hope to at
tempt President Wilson to start nego'
tiations at the time when any attend
ant success would be likely to effect
favorably his chances of reelection.
Americans conversant with inside
British opinion feel certain that any
such move on the part of Washington
would not only be foredoomed to fail
ure but would arouse the most bite
resentment of the allies and also per
manently eliminate Washington as
optional mediator.

New York, Sept. 22.--Whether gen
eral walkout of upwards of 100000 un-
ion workerws in New York is to be call
ed in support of the striking employees
of the traction companies rested this
afternoon on the result of confer
ence of representatives of 65 labor un-
ions of the city.
The labor leaders went into the ses-
sion at the Continental hotel at 2:35.
The sentiment as they went into their
secret meeting seemed to favor the vot-
ing of strong support to the carmen in
their fight which the leaders regard
as involving the entire question of the
right of workers to organize. A ma
iority of the leaders apparently were
in favor of union men and women in a
score or more of trades showing their
sympathy for the carmen by remaining
away from work until the traction trou-
BILE is satisfactorily settled. The only
question appeared to be whether the
walkout would take the form of an ac-
tual strike or bycott of the car lines
and backed up by u novel plan which
would have the same effect as strike
call
Sixtyfive unions were represented at
the conference called this afternoon.
The majority of the union leaders ex-
pressed confidence in their ability to
call sympathetic strike that would
soon bring the car companies to terms
In addition to calling upon all union
workers not to patronize the street ears.
subway and elevated lines the leaders
considered a plan of declaring that as
the workers cannot travel in safety un-
der present conditions on the transpor-
tation lines, they will remain away
from their jobs until the situation is re-
stored to normal. This, it is realized,
will be only when the traction compan-
les consent to arbitrate or some other
means is found of bringing the strike
to an end. The conference of the labor
leaders was expected to last most of the
afternoon.
