LONDON, Dec. 12.-In the House of Commons yesterday, MT. Balfour, ad- dressing the members present, told them that communication was received from Germany the latter part of Sep tember in which the German Chancel- Tor said that the government of his country would be glad to get into communication wit hthe British gov. ernment in regard to peace. The Brit. iah government replied that it waY prepared to receive any communicat. ion from the German government which would be discussed with the British Allies. To this reply, he said, the Chancellor never answered.
 In conclusion, Mir. Balfour said that fl was evident to his mind that the German government would have talked peace with the British on a separate basis, but when he was told that our Allies had to be consulted, he consid- cred peace was impossible

VALLEJO, December 12.-FolloWing the recommendation for increases made by the Mare Island wage board after the United States Labor Adjust ment Board meeting at San Francisco settled the wage question in the Pac- iicCoast shipyards, new wage schedule went into effct at the Mare Island Navy yard.
