(Australian and N.Z. Cable Assocn.) Received this day, 9.10 a.m, Washington, yesterday. Mr. Lansing, the Foreign Secretary, has directed the American Embassy at Berlin to unofficially interview Dr.Bethraann-Hollweg, German Imperial Chancellor, to endeavour to get him to stop the deportations of Belgians, pointing out that the action is causing an unfavourable impression on neutral opinion in the Unitedßtates, where many interpret it as an attempt to release German workers for the firing line. A semi-official statement says that the Belgian deportation is regarded by America as a violation of Germany’s assurances to Mr. Gerard, given when the women and children were deported from Lille, in France.

We do not moan that it will come next mouth, but the foundations are being- laid. Viscount Grey’s and Dr. DutlunannHollweg’s speeches .show 1 that two of the chief belligerents are, getting closer. Although they are still widu apart, they arc approaching a common ground. And why not? It is the desire of all the nations to have an international agreement which will ensure the world's peace in the futpire. If such’ a guarantee, be> arranged I do not think tlhjs horrible bloodshed will have baen in vain.’’ The correspondent asked: -’Does England want peace ?’■ Count Apponyi: “There are .peace j 'parties in ail cotoutrios.
