misery won't come back very

any stomach disorder due to acid

GERMANY DENIES
SEPARATE PEACE
OFFERED FRANCE
Neither Did Teutons Seek to ■

Britain
By Associated Press
Amsterdam, Oct. 3.—Germany has
made no proposals whatever for a
separate peace either to France or
Great Britain, Dr. Von Keehlman,
the Gerenian foreign secretary makes
this announcement, according to an
official statement received here from
Berlin, in answer to the speech made
by General Verkhovsky, the Russian
minister of war, before the Demo
cratic Congress in Petrograd. The
statement reads:
"The Russian war minister, Gen
eral Verkhovksy, asserted at the
Petrograd Democratic Congress that
the imperial chancellor, Dr. Michael
is, had stated among other things
at Stuttgart, that Germany was
ready to return Alsace-Lorraine to
France. The imperial chancellor's
utterances at Stuttgart are generally
known and the assertion of the Rus
sian war minister is an invention.
"General Verkhovsky further
stated that it was Germany's inten
tion to make a separate peace with
Great Britain and France at the cost
of Russia and that Great Britain
and France had informed the Rus
sian government that they would not
be parties to any such proposal.
"I herewith state that Germany
has made no proposals whatever for
a separate peace either to France or
Great Britain."
