By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day. 12.50 p.m.) LONDON. August 21. While lhe echoes of rolling gun wheels and marching men permeate Central Europe, the reactions to King Leopold’s Oslo Powers conference proposal are not yet fully audible. Comments range from a Wilhelmstrasse. spokesman 's remark that flic conference will be successful, “if the participants talk sense to Poland and persuade her allies to return to the principles of the Lansing Note,” io a French inclination to cold shoulder any efforts directed 1o “changing the name of Munich to Brussels.” The Wilhelmstrasse spokesman adds that Germany is not making any concessions.
The Belgian Foreign Minister, M. Pierlot, will preside at the Brussels Conference, the aim of which will be the co-ordination of the attitude of neutrals towards problems—for instance, transportation of food supplies, care of wounded and sheltering refugees. A peace appeal is being draftecr. King Leopold will not mediate. He is a supporter and not the inspirer of the conference.
