TALK IS
 USELESS AT THIS
 TIME, SAYS PARIS

PARIS. Nov. 29.-- French newspa- pers and statesmen agree that 1t would be useless for President Wood row Wilson or any other neutral to move in the interest of peace until the German army shall have been de- feated at all points. "There can be no guarantee of peace In Europe as long as Prussian milltarism contin- ues to prevail in Germany" said an official of the foreign office. who ad- mitted that he was quoting Premier Briaud. France, Great Britain, Rus sia. Italy and Belgium have paid dear ly in life and treasure in preparing themselves to beat down military machine that Germany has been two score of years increating. Why should the final conflict be postponed, now that we are prepared, until some fu ture time when 1t would probably cost us more to reach what we have attained In the last sixteen months than we have paid in this instance. ?'
 The official added that there is ab' solutely no division in sentiment among the people of the countries that are allied in the war against German militarism and absolutism. "Thoset of all shades of political opin. ion in all of them insist that the dis armament of Germany must be the result of the war before ear can be given to overtures of peace" he said Continuing he declared:
 Tt Is significant that ar these pro ceedings in behalf of peace are pro ceedIng from Germany, Austria and Turkey. and not from France. England Russia. Italy Belgium or Serbia"

 MANAGER

When EnglAnd's war director reached the French capital. on his return from Athens. he was given a great ovation. thousands of people going to the rail road station to greet him.
 "Post" Agitates Peace Stand.
 The belief that tho time has ar. rived for the allies to begin to define clear and definite terms of peace, is expressed today by the Evening Post, in an editorial, on the ground that there then would 0e less chance of tossing in negotiations what has been gained on the sea and in the field. The Post contends that without "sell- ing the skin before killing the bear." 1t may be assumed that victory for the allies is assured. if only because without undue strain Great Britain could maintain naval blockade in- definitely, and, 1t is contended. history has shown that such pressure alone. in the end would result in victory.

NEAR EAST EMBARRASSES
 THE ALLIES

LONDON. Nov. o. The war in Serbia and the Near East situation continues to present the most embar- rass.ng problems of the war against the Teutonic Allies. While the French and English are holding their ground in South Serbia, and the Serbians arc continuing to present formidable opposirIon 70 the fivauIug xxusrrv-uvr- man and Bulgarian armies, the situa- ton is admittedly grave. The inyad- CTS have punished the Serbian forces. which have been practically cleared from northern and central Serbia. se- yerely. and apparently today they are able to send enough men into the country to defeat the combined forces that are now on Serbian soil.
 Therefore, the defense of Serbia depends upon the ability of the Eng. fish, French and Italians to reinforce their armies now in that country or the entrance of Greece or Rumania or both in the war In order to justi- fy strong reinforcement of the AL lies forces In Serbia, there must at least be hearty cooperation on the part of Greece in the forwarding of men and supplies from salonIki. Rus sIa's attack on Bulgaria has been slow in developing, and 1t is feared that 1t cannot be depended upon to relieve the situation on account of the rapid. ity with which eventualities are oc- curing In Serbia
 Greece to Aid
 While she Is not expected actively to participate In the war until Q de- cisiye check shall have been delivered to the Austro German and Bulgarian forces in Serbia, there seems to be the utmost confidence at the London war office that Greece will place DC obstacle in the way of the Allies in their defense of Serbia. However, a new phase of the situation has de yeloped ln the refusal of Greece tC consent to tho withdrawal of the Ser bian. French, British and Italian fore es now in Serbia into Greek Mace donia, soi that they would be neal their base at salonikI, and thus trans fer the battlefield to Greek territory
