ANNEXATION POLICY OPPOSED. PEACE POSSIBILITIES DISCUSSED. (Australian and' N.Z. Cable Association.) (Received July. 18, 12.15 p.m.) NEW YORK, July 17. A United Press •• despatch says that the Berlin press is divided as to the wisdom of the Chancellor's opposition to the annexation of Belgium. The Cologne Gazette defends Dr. Beth-mann-Hollweg, asserting that it would be a mistake to swap horses m the middle of a stream. It acknowledges ."hat the British have a huge reserve m Flanders, enabling them "to make continuous attacks with fresh troops. , Count Reventlow considers the Chan chellor's policy unwise, as the Allies, will interpret it as a sign of German weakening. The newspapers are discussing the pos sibility of peace following the Allies' offensive. The Tageblatt opines that the Allies will now endeavour to induce Greece and Rumania to participate m the war.
