Copenhagen, via London, June a.
Private advices from Germany tell OF
growing dissatisfaction with the po-
1itical result Of the ruthless subma-
rine campaign and the absence Of in
dications that 1t has brought the de-
sired peace near to hand.
During their campaign for the un-
restricted use Of submarines the ad-
vocates OF this measure made definite
promises. Two or three months was
the phrase used everywhere with re-
gard to the time 1t would take to
bring England to her knees. Even
though the, official propaganda has
itself to no particular time to produce
results. the prediction that they
would be obtained in two or three
months has remained in the minds Of
the people. Grumblings are now heard
that, although four months have pass
ed, England shows no signs Of weak
ening, but on the contrary seems de-
tern1ined to prosecute the war more
bitterly than ever.
Statements that France has been
''bled white" and will be forced to re-
tire from the war no longer enticc
the slightest credit. The entry Of

Paris, June Am effort by German
atholics to communicate with French
Iatholics on peace is revealed in La
troix by Monsignor Baudrillart, rector
ION May 49, writes Monsignor
t5audrillart, there was held at Often
meeting Of Swiss Catholics by Ma
thias Erzberger, leader Of the clerical
center In the reischstag. The latter
obtained the assistance of Swiss Cath
olics with view to taking action with
the entente bishops In favor of an
early peace. A professor Of interna-
tional law Of Lausanne. whose name
I could give, was charged with the
task Of sounding eryrench Catholics
even some Of our bishops there. 9th
ers declared themselves sure Of OBJ
tanning the support of certain Italian
bishops.
''Erzberger's hidden motive. his
true one. which he permitted express
sion before his most trusted friends
was this: Germany is at the end OF
her resources and must have peace
as soon as possible
Monsignor Baudrillart says he re.
