UNITED STAVES. AMERICA'S CRITICAL PERIOD. WARNING AGAINST GERMAN INTRIGUES. Times and Sydney Sun Services. London, August 13. The New York Tribune declares the necessity for circumspection and caution at' Washington is greater than at any time since the beginning of the war in view of German peace intrigues. It points out that any peace patched up to-day would simply be a victory for Germany, peace giving her Belgium and disposing of France as a nation.

GERMAN SPOOF. '■' ENGLAND'S SHAMELESSNESS." Amsterdam, August 13. The Hamburger Nachrichten, in an article on "England's Sbamelcssncss,'' says Germans long for further frequent air raids on England, whatever their results, because England, despite the submarine campaign, feels the war which she incites far less than is appropriate, and it is necessary, for England is simply a spectator wlule the Allies are suffering. Her sha.melessness is abominable. It drives the blood to our heads, impelling us to demand hard punishment for the frivolous hukstering nation. Therefore it cannot rain bombs enough on England, nor can enough of her ships be destroyed.
