GERMANY THINKS

termination.
The entente governments cannot
do otherwise. In view OF their past

This was the view reflected In all
walks OF life today following Pre-
mier Loyd-George's answer to the
imperial German chancellor. In his
speech OF yesterday.
Berlin Is not pessimistic. despite
the London statement. added to the
previous pronouncement from Pet
rograd and Paris. that the allies are
determined to continue the war un-
I'll their high objects are secured.
The general view was that these
speeches are not to be taken ser
iousiy. when weighed against Ger
many's progress In Roumania.
Not only was this the public view.
but officials coincide. One such Of
ficial declared that no belligerent
would ever ask neutral to begin ne
gotiatlons---nevertheless steps by a
neutral now would not be regarded
as unfriendly to the central powers.
He added. however. that the public
state OF mind is not such now that
American interference would be well
coined.
