The “Times’’ correspondent in Fun’s states.that from all sides conn; reports of increased pacific action of neutral States by pacificist internationalist bodies. Tire French people simply turn a deaf ear.

The “Stalls Zeilung” says that Germany does not desire conquest. The “Anglophobe Washington Post” swallows the German bait, but the responsible press scouts the idea ol premature pence, and gives cogent reasons why a separate peace is -unthinkable. 15 THE OVERTURES DENIED.
