London. Sept IS. There II de-

They are satisfied. however, that the

any German move. which either VIII

peace or 10 so cloud the atmosphere
as 10 enable the German government
70 say to the German people; we are
willing 10 make peace. but the allies
will have none OF It.
The food OF so-called peace rumors
which the German censor is permit

and public that Berlin Is preparing
home opinion for another adrolt peace
maneuvre which probably viii take
definite shape before the snow hies'
First came the alleged British peace

still being commented upon In Ter
many Now much fuel has been ADDED
to the agitation by the report that the
German government has Abandoned
claims OF supremacy and control over
the territory and population OF Bel
s,um In addition there are all sorts
of rumors regarding the German an
swer to the pope.
A strange thing about the whole
affair is that the German censor ap'
pears 10 be permitting the newspapers
70 discuss the matter freely.
The Westminster Gazette quotes the
Berlin correspondent OF the koelnische
yolks Zeitung as saying that IRON
an of,cial source there Is no truth In
the report that Germany intends to
declare an abandonment OF her claims
on Belgium" The Gazette points out
that the message is not necessarily
on. official denial that Germany has
decided to renounce all claims on Bel
GUM.
The Standard says: "The German
censor is permitting German papers
20 publish reports that Germany Is to
climb down and renounce any claim
20 supremacy over Belgium.
The Pail Mall Gazette adds:
Another stop forward has been tax
en- in the carefully engineered peace
campaign in Germany"
The Star says II is significant that
the German censor is permitting such
publications, adding:
1T would certainly be an important
step In the direction OF peace. but
does not In itself insure the success Of
the negotiations, and as the press Il
silent about similar 'rumors about
the future OF Alsace- Lorraine, the
Trentino and Serbia. II would be folly
70 build any high hopes. There is nc
sign that the rulers OF Germany and
Austria are in a more chastened mood
than they were year ago"
