BERLIN, September 1s, Wednesday
(via London. September 2o).-while
the text of the German reply to Pope
Benedict's peace proposals Will not be
announced before Saturday, the Berlin
press and parliamentary circles concur
In the prediction that the message will
not contain specific declarations con-
corning Belgium. The fate Of that
country just now Ia calling forth ex-
cessive pan-German frothing, due to
recurrent rumors that the government
had definitely decided to abandon all
intentions OF permanent control in the
occupied Belgian territory. While
these reports are said to have basis
in the alleged trial balloon" sent out
by England, they equally carry ear
marks OF an obvious artificial inspira-
ton for the purpose Of supporting the
annexationists' campaign.
Official quarters to-day were abso-
lutely noncommunicative on the sub
ject OF the German answer. outside of
admitting II will be delivered to the
Papal delegate at Munich tomorrow.
