- » ■ "HINDENBURG'S MARCH ON' LONDON." AN IMAGINATIVE BOOK. % ■ Times and Sydney Sun Services. Londßn, Nov. 24. "Hindenburg's March on London," a hook issued in Berlin, has gone through many editions and is the most popular book of the season. It gives a liighlycolored picture of the German army marching through London, with Hindenburg's Zeppelin over London Bridge watching the troop 3 swinging past, at the goose-step. Crowds of awed Londoners watched the army as it passed the Mansion House and Stock Exchange. Worried and unkempt members of the Stock Exchange and clubmen were mournfully gazing at the procession. Later Hindenburg's higher command visited the Houses of Parliament, then Hindenhurg gave an address to the troops: "Soldiers, after beating a world of enemies you are bivouacking in front of Buckingham Palace. In the terrible battle of London the Germans fought Indians, Moroccans,, half-tipsy Australian negroes, who were screaming like wild animals while wiping out the finelycultivated German brains." GERMAN SOCIALISTS. DISCUSS PEACE TERMS. Copenhagen, Nov. 24. A Berlin message states that the Radical Socialists are to make a determined effort to force a discussion of peace terms when the Reichstag reassembles. This is indicated in the Vorwarts, which summarises the speeches in the British Parliament and says: "Without direct contradiction by the British Government, British politicians have set up as positive peace condition's that Germany shall yield Belgium and the north of France, also Lorraine, and that there shall be no indemnity from England. Though wholly unofficial, these speeches are worthy of serious attention, and should lead to discussion in the place where in Germany free speech still has a home. If the British speeches are not to remain voices in the wilderness, Parliament must use its prerogative to apeak. Open discussion is the best means to destroy certain illusions whidi Germany's enemies harbor as to the possibility of the prospects of a war of attrition'. When once clarity is brought to these questions a great forward step will have been taken. Let the Reichstag have tat floor."
