BELIEVES CHINA SITUATION! STILL OPEN TO PEACE NEGOTIATIONS
Berlin, To-day..
The fighting in North China is being made the main news story in all the German newspapers, while political circles eagerly follow the latest de- velopments. Hope has not yet been abandoned here that a twelfth-hour understanding may be reached.
One paper heads its reports "Struggle for whole of China; War without formal declaration."

The newspaper "Lokalenzaiger” says it is remarkable that Nanking Government still tinues to stress its readiness to negotiate with Tokyo, and appar- ently only insists that initiative for re-opening negotiations should come from Japan.
NOT IRREVOCABLE
The paper is inclined to believe that the dice have not yet irrevo- cably been cast
In spite of the present fighting the paper advises to readers not. to attach too much importance to despatches on the subject, since exaggerations are inevitable in such a situation. Trans-Ocean.
