SWISS WARNS ALLIES AGAINST HUN PEACE PROPAGANDA

Geneva, Oct. 9.—Switzerland in the last week has been swarming with German, Austrian and Turkish peace pioneers seeking to get in touch with diplomatts of the allied countries. The watchword of the emissaries of the central powers is an immediate armistice “in order to avoid further bloodshed.” In an article summing up the present diplomatic situation the Democrate says the allied countries never have been in such great danger—not military but diplomatically— since 1914. “If the belligerents meet now round a green table,” the newspaper says, “the Austro-Germans will employ loaded dice and win the game, which will result in. another war within twelve years.”
