A BOGUS INTERVIEW.

GREAT BRITAIN NOT SEEKING

PEACE.

London. Oct. 3

"The Times," in a leader, says: "We are in a position to state, on the Hghest authority, that there is not ayes-

tige of foundation for the story, in the shape of a.n interview in the ' Nsw York American" with a highly-placed official of the British Government, representing that Great Britain is putting

out feelers for peace through the medium of the United States. No such

statement has been made by any epresentative of the British Government. Mr. Hearst has palmed, off upon th© readers of his paper, incautiously if innocently, a mischievous fiction, calculated to create distrust and bad alood between the Allies." ' ■. . ■

"The Times" declares that of all th=> grpss miscalculations made by Ger many, nothing can be more disconcerting and rancorous to the Berlin pro fessors than the mighty wave of loyalty which swept over India.
