PEACE TALK.

TURKEY WANTS PEACE. IF GERMANY PAILS HER. Received August 27, 5.5 p.m. Athens, August 26. It is rumored that Turkey is likely to agree to a separate peace with the Allies, unless Germany declares war against Italy. KAISER'S PROPOSALS TO RUSSIA. THE LATTER'S DETERMINED REFUSAL, Times and Sydney Sun Services. London, August 26. The Stockholm correspondent of the Temps has given details of the Kaiser's recent peace proposals to Russia. After the failure of the first march on Warsaw Germany thought it possible to get Russia on her side by ottering her the Dardanelles. Russia refused, whereupon the Kaiser ordered the great Gfilician offensive, During the latter part of Jujyt when the advance on Warsaw was delayed, Berlin financiers became alarmed at the long duration of the war, and urged the Government to bring about an immediate separate peace. The Government thereupon proposed to cede Constantinople to Russia, giving Turkey Egypt, This proposal was coincident with the publication of surprisingly friendly references to Russia in the German press, also eulogistic articles by Sven Heden in, the Swedish press, Russia again refused. WILL FIGHT ON. CZAR'S MESSAGE TO FRANCE, Paris, August 28. The Czar, in an interview with M. Cruppi, the French ex-Minister of Justice, sent a message to France: "You may rely on my unshakeable will to light on until victory crowns our efforts." GERMANS MUST BE DRIVEN OUT. Received August 27, 10.40 p.m. Paris, August 27. Mr. Lloyd George told Senator Humbert that while a single German remains in France and Belgium no Englishman will dream of peace.
