GERMAN PEACE MOVE FAILURE.

London, Juno 1.-Fears OF success OF
|Germany's peace efforts through the
international socialist conference are
fading daily, and the opinion grows
that pro-ally sentiment will dominate
the Stockholm meeting to such an ex-
tent as will overcome the generally un.
desired results OF internationalism.
The belief now Is spoken that tho
German hopes OF packing the confer
ence and winning the nominal support
been dashed to the ground. with the
result that Berlin may even refrain
from sending delegates.
Socialists here believe the conference,
which was started by German machin-
atoms. viii throw of the control OF
Its creator.
There Is a possibility of Germany,
through her delegates. being forced 20
reveal her war objects and postwar
plans for democratizing the govern
ment. Such development places
Germany in danger OF losing tho sym
jpathy Of radicals and liberals the world
over. Because OF its autocratic incli-
nation. Prussia is diametrically oppoa-
ed to the ideals OF the social democrat
and workmen parties. ~,
! On the other hand. II Germany re-
fuses to take the risk by not allowing
her delegates to attend the conference.
the allies will be enabled to WOO

ton that Germany Ia not willing to
reveal her war aims or c0ncede post
war changes calculated to make the
world safe for democracy.
