GERMANY SITS ON SOCIALISM. NOT TAKING ANY PEACE ADVICE. (Received 9.5 a.m.) Amsterdam, .June 27. The North German Gazette, in announcing the suppression of the Socialist organ, Vorwarts, for publishing the Socialist leaders' manifesto, says the manifesto shows how German Socialists have done their duty in the fight for Germany's national independence and bow the great masses of Socialists in England and France, belonging to the International Union, have decide to continue the war, hand-in-hand with their plete conquest of Germany. Not.Governments, and united for the coinwithstanding this statement the Socialist leaders invite the Government, thereby making known their own war aims, to announce on the ground of the favorable war situation which our compatriots have bravely created, their willingness to enter into peace negotiations in order to treminate the sanguinary fighting. The manifesto, appearing despite the cenorship forbidding discussion of war aims at all, was calculated to creat a liighly undesirable impression abroad and also probably on the majority of German Socialists. It may also possibly be interpreted abroad that there is ai war weariness which does not exist. The writer adds that if the progress of military events and the political, situation offer prospects of successful peace deliberations, the German Government, of its own accord, will do what is necessary but till then there can only be one' watchword for CSermany namely, "Hold out."
