EXPECTS NEW PEACE OFFER
Alleged That German Government ls
Willing to Give Up All Occupied
Territory To Get Peace.

London-Throughout official Lon
don the belief is held that very def.
mite offer will come from Germany be.
fore winter, and that the offer will
suggest immediate cessation of hos
tilities on a status quo basis,
Entente statesmen have fully indi-
Gated that they will refuse such terms
and no doubt Germany is aware of
this. But German leaders regard a
status quo offer from the German side
as an indispensable step in the prep
aration of German public opinion for
further concessions.

REALIZE THEIR DEPENDENCE
Swedes Anxious to Avoid q Break
With America.

Stockholm (via London).-lt can be
stated with certainty that the Swedish
government fully realizes Swedm's 3
economic dependence upon America;
that consequently the maintenance Of
Americas good will is vital to Sweden,
with the corollary that Sweden must
be prepared to make what it would
regard as heavy sacrifices in order 10
placate America.
1t can be asserted further as an
axiom on which further Developments
to this end will be based, that the
present Swedish government, or anv
other government here, will do moth
ing calculated to precipitate the dread
ed break from America, nor will it
leave anything undone to prevent such
calamity for Sweden.
1t can be said still further that ev-
erything possible will be done to keep
the present controversy from growing
more heated.

infantry went up the slopes of the
mountain, making short gains at the
