Miss Todd is n moat interesting

this with the two most successful me-

PEACE RUIIIIIIRS Hll
BEIIIIN BUUIISE
LONDON. Sept. 17.-Peace rumors
instead of cheering the Berlin Bourne
cause black days. An Amsterdam
special despatch to the Times on
'l`liursday says: "Tlio' Westezeltung's
iirrlin correspondent telegrapha that
conferences between the Kaiser and
various army- commanders at Berlin
is regarded in political circles as be-
ing of special importance.
“\'orwaerts yesterday said that the
liourse has experienced two em-
phatically weak days. The exchange
fell on September 11. temporarily ten
to twenty per cent. For many stocks
readiness to accept was so small that
in peat-e times under normal circum-
stances the people would have spoken
ot' in as a black day. The causes oi
this striking decline are not well
founded on the Bourne movement, but
simply and solely on tears ot peace.
"V0Y`“'5~€¥`fS Says the cause 0! the
weakness of the German exchanges is
that great capitalists have already
sold or traiistorretl their shares to
sniailer people ivlio are morn nervous
and also who at the high rates where-
at they purchased incur more risk.
'l`ill now the Bourne weakness has
bieeii n~xclusively of internal slgnlil-
i'aii<‘c."
Anotiicr Amsterdam despatch says:
ltr-plying to the Stuttgart Chamber of
Voiiinieree protest against President
\\'ilsoii‘s reply to the Pope's peace
proposal Emperor William. says ti
despatch received here, has expressed
his thanks for the indignant rejection
"ot the euemy’s dishonorable entice-
nielits." ,
“Whoever attributes to the Ger-
man people dlsloynlty or lick ol' ho-
nor," said the Empet-or‘s reply, "does
not know the history or the soul ot
our people." .
