United Press Association
Washington, August 31
Sir C. Spring Rice announces that Britain will permit German and Austrian goods for the American Christmas trade to pass the blockade, if proof of. purchase is submitted, to the Embassy. Sir C. Spring Rice draws attention to Britain's offer of April 14th to allow two shipments of dyestuffs, to be made, vfa 'Rotterdam, under a neutral flag, consigned to the Secretary of Commerce. That offer still holds good, but Germany has not accepted it. The general impression is that Germany's altered attitude regarding submarines is intended to clear the way for peace negotiations upon her part.
The New York Sun says that Germany is •trying to rehabilitate herself in the eyes of neutrals, in order that when peace is being discussed she may have a larger support of sympathy from neutrals.
Petrograd, August 31
