GERMANY AWAITS PEACE
Will Attempt No More Drives OIL
Any of Her Fronts

Content with what she has already
accomplished, Germany will attempt
no more drives" on any of her fronts
Information to this effect reached
Washington yesterday through semi
official channels direct from the head
quarters of the German general staff.
From now on it is stated Germany
will confne her land operations to
maintenance Of the line she now holds
and seek to hold her position until
such time as the allies are ready to
talk peace.
Her only offensive operations of any
kind, it is stated, will be largely
limited to submarine activities against
British commerce. The semiofiicial re-
port says the offensive operations on
the west front last week were merely
to strengthen the German. lines.
When the real peace talk is likely
to start is. a matter of indifference to
the German strategists. All tall: o.
separate peace negotiations on the
part of individual powers is discount
ed in Berlin.
Peace, says the semi-official dis
patch from Berlin. can come at any
time that Great Britain is willing to
say the word. Regarding the terms
| Of such peace, Germany would be
willing to have the boundaries be-
tween herself and France and Belgium
remain what they were before the
war. She would insist, however, on q
recognition by all the powers of the
autonomy of Poland. and would ex.
pect fore her allies. Austria and Bul.

in the last analysis, practical bank

Norman H. Johnson, speaking in
behalf of the wholesale dry goods
dealers, declared that the merchant
in Virginia cannot raise the price Of
his goods in proportion To the in

Simple justice, he said, was all the
