as Lloyd George knows full well
that this announcement means oeter-
nal war, unless it is in the power Of
the German command to bring it to
an earlier termination than Lloyd
George supposes."
The Tageblatt! says it prefers to
await the promised reply of the En-
tcrrte, adding: ~
For the present. it appears that
the gulf is very great between Lloyd
Georges standpoint and that de.
scribed from the German side as the
basis for peace"
The following is from the Socialist
newspaper Vorwaerts:
"Lloyd-George says that whoever
wants to prolong the war will have
a crime upon his soul, Do not these
words imply strong self-condcmna-
ton, if England rcpects the ncgotia-
tons offered by the Central Powers? ?

PREPARATION He obviously demands
PREPARATION for the fact that the Cen

now take its course and the day,
doubtless, will come when Mr.. Lloyd
George shudderingly will recognize
chat England, by rejecting the peace
offer, has really struck its head into
moose with the rope in our hands"
The Neue Freie Presse, however,
thinks that Mr.. Lloyd Georges speech
still leaves open the possibility that
the question will be put to the Cen
trail Powers as to what proposals
they have to make and adds that the
declaration of the Italian Foreign
Minister also justifics this thought
Commenting on Premier Lloyd
Georges speech the Taegliche Rund-
schau, Of Berlin, says:
Preparation could be demanded by
England only if Germany had declar-
ed war on England, if we were 10

The Lokal Anzeiger takes the view
point that Mir. Lloyd George's re-
marks about PREPARATION are Of no
value, inasmuch us nothing has been
