MORE GERMAN BLUSTER. Timks and Sydney Shn Service. London, ; dune 6. Washington says that Count Itemstore’s p'ace talk synchronises with the successful German drive on the east front, and .with what Americans 'regard as temporary discomfiture to the Allies in other directions. Tt is | recalled that the September peace talk synchronised with the nearest (lerman approach to Paris. Count Tternstorff demands the freedom of the seas, giving belligerents the right to continue trade as if no fleets existed. He seeks (lerman colonial extension and the reconstitution of Poland under (lerman suzerainty. Germany would then be prepared to give up France and Belgium. Apparently the intervention of Italy provides a gloomy outlook and suggests the advisability of Ger-

nany promptly cauitnlising the wave of successes. The Cologne Gazette, referring to the tirade against Germany, says: \ew England’s schoolmasters and rewspapors poured hatred and contempt oil militarism and organisation (ccanse they were Prussian inventions. Now militarism organisation nvc become twin anchors for salvation and the only means of fastening together Old England, which is hreakng up. The German fleet would welcome with the utmost satisfaction the British tteet’s otlensive activity. The paper taunts Air Churchill with his boast of smoking out, the German .Meet like rats, while he himself was smoked out of the Admiralty by the unanimous pressure of bis counti\men. Amsterdam, June 6.

The Kreuse Zeitung says Britain’s ;tarvation war lias failed, and now the Tinted States make a strange demand for the stoppage of submarine warfare. If the reports of the reception of the German Note are to he relied upon, it appears that America does not want an understanding. hut prefers to break oil relations, and give at least moral support to Britain. However comforting to ns the retention of relations with Messrs. Wilson and Bennman may he. their utility for us is somewhat imaginary.
