London Press Secs Peace Trap.

London. Sept. 23-Although re- ports of a German political crisis aris ing from the supposed movement for parliamentarizatio of the govern ment are printed at greater or less length in the papers here and the situation is watched with mild interest for any possibility if may contain, the whole thing is mostly regarded as merely an integral part of the German ''peace offensive.'
 The Telegraph, discussing the ru- mors, says this is the eighth political ''crisis'' in the course of the war and adds ''all of them have left things very much as they were before"
 The Graphic describes the discus sion now filling German papers as a strategem to lure the Allies into peace by depicting Germany as a democ- racy.
 The paper believes the emperor is following the example of some of his Hohenzollern predecessors. and is glad 1y playing his part in the farce which is about to be r1-staged with the cen terist majority and the socialists as joint managers The inwardnesS of the move, the paper adds is that Ma thias Erzberger hopes, With the help of Philip Scheidemana, the socialist leader and his followers. to oust Inn perial Chancellor von Hertling and secure the center of the stage as peaCemak1r for Germany.
 Allied democracics are led to be- lieve it will be quite safe to negotiate with a German parliamentary govern ment," the Graphic says. "The whole movement Is clearly preparing the way for a resuscitaton of the notor- ious Reichstag resolution in revised edition in the hope that the Allies have forgotten how completely that sham has been exposed"

People of Rotterdam, Holland, are taclng almost starvation conditions and, to quote from a letter just re- celVed by a New Britain manufactur- Ing concern from a Dutch customer, things are getting awful and we do not Know how to face the coming winter. It means famine at least The letter is corroborative of letters received by the sisters attached to St. Joseph's convent at Wilimantic. The mother house of the sisterhood Is located in Holland
 The letter received by the local manufacturers is as follows:
 Rotterdam. Holland
 Aug. 12, 1918. Dear Sirs:
 Tt is a long time since you heard something from us. The reason is not that we are asleep, but that busi- ness over here has come to afl abso- lute stop.
 You will know that all shipping between United States and Holland are impossible-apart from this, even in case shipping was possible, there is no trade here, because manufactur- ing of most articles has ceased owing to the lack of material. Under those
 
 that it is no use to try to do any thing.
 'It might interest you to hear that life in Holland is getting more and more difficult-there is practically no food left. The bread eff one may call this mixture so) is composed of something like sawdust with ground potatoes and contains no food Meat is an unknown article. Eggs cannot be obtained for anything-butter Is distributed in about one-tenth of the normal quantity necessary for life. Tn one word things are getting awful and we do not know how to face the coming winter. It means a famine at least.
 We sincerely hope that with the aid of the American Arms, this beastly war will soon come to an end. Please accept our compliments with the successes obtained up to now and for the enormous and gigantic work that has been done and is still done by the Great American Republic.
 With our best wishes for the suc- cess of the Allied Arms, we remain, dear Sirs,
 Yours faithfully"
