Neither official circles nor the great mass of the public have any inclination for peace, either honorable or otherwise, at present;

It is expected that all collieries will resume on Thursday.

The Treasury, referring to statements that have been circulated in various parts of the country that currency notes bearing certain specified serial numbers are forgeries, says that the origin of the statements has not been traced, but it is suspected that they emanated from enemy sources, and were circulated with a view to shaking public confidence. Hitherto comparatively few forgeries of currency notes have come to the notice of the Treasury or banks. Sir Edward Grey is taking a holiday. He still wears colored glasses for slight eye trouble.
