 The serai-o5Ticial view is that nc such interpretation of the Colonel Ho1se appointment is justified or correct, The President is simply, according to this, taking time by the fcrelock, so th2t in the event of peace negotiations opening, they will be ready for them with an ample familiarity with detailed faces, data concerning the war etc. Th:s is such an enormous work that even if the prospects of peace were so remote, the appointment of a m2n for this purpose would not be in any W2y premature.

 PEACE REISCHTAC

AMSTERDAM, Sept 28.-Berlin dispatches even while showing the heavy blue streak of the censors pencil as clearly as possible in the deleted contents, all betray keen disappointment ever the failure of any statement on the war from the Chancellor which was to be given today.
 Government organs briefly an nounce that Chancellor Michaelis has finally decided to abandon his plan to speak plainly before the Reichstag on the peace question.
 No explanation is offered either pro or con, and this is in marked contrast with the loquacious atti- tude of the former Chancellor when he kept the Reischtag listcn-

 While it is Tot to be taken for granted that any such thing a. pe2ee is ia sight aad the emph&cis of officialdom is laid against such an interpretation of ths appoint ment, it is this interpretation which the public ard a great deal of the press places upon the announce ment.
 That it signifies that the admi- nistraion has some reason to be- licve that peace negotiations will be opened ir the net far distant future is the only possible eXplana- tion this view discovers in the ap- pointmest and i9 the announcement of this appointmen of this time.

 As in other neutral capitals it is now here firmly believed that the reason for the Chanoellor's aba h. doning his plan to talk plainly OIL the subject of peace is that most de- lc2te negotiations are opened or are about to be opened and that any statements delivered in the Rcichstag and meant for home as well as foreign consumption, and hence which would be of the same confident type for continuing the war at all hazards, would quite in telligibly mar the effect of these delicate negotiations in leading the
