Germany Denies Making
Peace Offer to Great
Britain or France
FOREIGN SECRETARY
MAKES STATEMENT
Denying Russian Story o.
Attempted Discrimi-
nation

Amsterdam, Oct, 3.--Germany has
made no proposals whatever for separate
peace either to France or to Great Brit
ain. DR.. Won Kuehlmann, the German
foreign secretary, makes this announce
ment, according to an official statement
received here from Berlin, in answering
a speech made by General Verkhovsky,
the Russian minister of war, before the
democratic congress in Petrograd. The
statement declares that Verkhovsky's
remarks were pure invention.
Last month reports were circulated
that France and Great Britain had re-
ceited offers from Germany to make
peace at the expense of Russia. They
became so insistent that the Russian
government obtained from France and
Great Britain formal denals that they
would make peace to the detriment of
Russia, and Verkhovsky made this an
normcement before the democratic con-
gress on Sept. 2S.
