DOCKERS REFUSE
TO HANDLE FLOUR
MELBOURNE, Victoria, Feb. 11.
—The dockers In this state have re
fused to handle shipments of flour
for export until prices locally are
reduced.
The very large shipments of flour
to Europe have caused an enormouB
increase in the price of Australian
flour. The dockers have taken this
radical means of enforcing their
campaign for lower prices. The
other freight is being handled with
dispatch and there is no strike ex
cept on flour which nothing will
induce the dockers to handle. Four
steamers are now awaiting flour
cargoes here. 1

though the reckless loss of life has
been enormous.
The general in command at that

Intense
Once again today, the Premier

the war fever.

Rumnnia are delaying the forwaru
movement of the Teutons and Bul

the so-called ultimatum for a de
claration of its friendly neutrality
to the Central Powers, or its demo
bilization. Instead the Minister ot
War has authorized the dispatch of
an immense army to the frontier to
guard against a possible attack or
as he put it "to maintain the coun
try’s neutrality and integrity”.
The Mail thinks that Greece will
vet flop over to the Central Powers

BELGIUM DENIES REPORT
OF THE PEACE PARLEYS
LONDON, Feb. , 11.—King Albert
of Belgium authorizes a denial of
the Vatican authorized statement
that he entered Into parleys with
Germany over a separate peace or
considered for an instant any ofTers
that were Intimated to him.
It is admitted that certain terms
through an unmentioned third
party reached the King and cabinet
of Belgium, but they did not con
sider them and there were positively
no peace parleys as outlined in the
Giornale D'ltalia, and announced as
coming from "unimpeachabe Vat1
can sources”.
BERLIN, Feb. 11. —The German
government did not make any offer
of terms directly to Belgium. If
Interested parties approached both
Germany and Belgium and asked
an opinion as to the probability ot
their acceptance, those can by no
manner of means be considered ef
forts to arrange a separate peace.
It is admitted that a settlement
with Belgium would not be imposs
ible provided Germany’s Interests
were properly protected. As it is
known such concessions would find
no favor with Belgium’s travelling
government, they have never been
formulated in a peace program.
Satisfaction of German Interests
will always precede an insistence
upon the annexation of conquered
territory.
LONDON, Feb. 11.—The German
statement relative to the Belgian
peace conference practically admits
the correctness of original reports.
