The peace with ;vicioi-y sentiment has "absolutely crushed'' all efforts to promote an .international socialist conference at Borne, said A. M. Sim ons, chairman of the American so cialist mission to Kurope, to the As sociated Press today, on his arrival In I'ariB from Italy. "The working classes." he added, "seem to be satisfied that a military vKtory is the only victory possible, that a conference with the (ierman socialists would be of no avail und that peace thru negotiation Is an 'impossibility. The results of the re cent offensive have stiffened Im mensely the morale of the working groups making them determined to cany out the war until a decisive vic tory. Even tho radical groups have changed their attitude about peace by negotlatioa and now are a unit in demanding the crushing of the Gor man military party."
