wAsAIHGroN, Oct 5.-Reports that
Prince Maximilian, the new German
Imperial Chancellor. had proposed the
suspension Of hostilities and the initia-
ton of peace discussions were re-
ceived in Washington tonight. The
State Department has had reason to
believe that the most desperate and
ingenious of Germany's peace propa-
ganda moves were about to be
launched, and to-night's unofficial des-
patches bear this out. These des-
patches were communicated to officials
tonight, but brought no other re-
sponse than that something OF this
sort was fully expected"
