BITTER DISAPPOINTMENT

Rotterdam, To-day.

THE BERLIN CORRESPONDENT of the "Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant“ gives further details of the reaction by the peace rumour in Germany. The rumour, he says, led to an extraordinary out- burst of rejoicing, and was believed even by the more cautious people.

Even the official denial was not credited at first, and it was thought that the news of peace was to be issued later.

"Such a demonstration," the cor- respondent comments, "points to the urgent wish of the German people for peace."

The Berlin correspondent of the "Amsterdam Telegraaf" says there has been general pessimism in the Nazi capital aince Hitler's second speech.
