i GERMANY'S PEACE FEELERS. I AN OFEICIAL EXPLANATION. Received Dec. 16, 5.5 p.m. , Amsterdam, Dec. 15. The German official explanation regarding Mr. Balfour's Statement in the House of Commons, on December 11, as to Germany having made proposals ..through a neutral regarding peace, says that Germany received a communication so couched as to warrant the belief that it was made witb the knowledge of Britain. Germany was ready to answer the inquiry, and considered a direct verbal reply through a neutral the best course, but Germany's opponents did nothing to facilitate such a direct reply. Mr. Balfour's statement was the first news received by Germany that the Allies were ready to receive a communication from Germany. No further steps were taken by Germany. ■ v AUSTRIA'S DEMANDS.
