SOCIALIST CONFERENCE. LITTLE HOPE FOR PRESENT. Copenhagen, January 19, The first conference bearing on the war convened by tho Socialist parties in the neutral States was attended by representatives from Holland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Italy. Resolutions were passed declaring that public opinion was horror-stricken at the slaughter and far-reaching ravages, and demanding that immediate steps be taken to shorten the war. Several delegates pointed out the impossibility of concluding peace under the existing conditions, and admitted that the allies could not move in the direction of peace while a single German soldier remained on the soil of France, Belgium, or Poland.
