empire.
A Berlin telegram says the National Zdtang states
that Germany has defined her position upon the
armstice question as follows: She is indifferent
whether an armistce of six weeks six months
Is granted. Therefore her interpretations, with the
object of bringing about an understanding between
the Powers on this particular question, can avail
little But, on the other hand, Germany never fails
t. recognize that the object 10 be arrived at is the
restoration of an understanding between the Powers,
with the view of procuring durable peace.
