HUNGARIAN COUNT DECLARES
TEUTONIC ALLIES WILL BE
FINAL VICTORS.
A NEW OFFENSIVE
Predicts that Allies Will Attempt a
New Offensive on All Fronts
Early In Spring-NO Peace
Is i'm Sight.
BY KARL w. ACKERMAN,
United Press STAFF Correspondent

BUDAPEST, Jan. 5.-Hungariar
officials expect the great offensive
of the allies to begin on all the
fronts early in the spring. They
are also confident the allies will be
defeated.
1.-The allies have failed to consid.
er our military positions, said
Count julius Andrassy, Hungarian
parliament leader, to the United
Press today I'VE are so situated
now that we can aid each other
We can constantly send men and
supplies to any front at any time
We can concentrate. which the en-
emy cannot do. The situation can
not be changed by the entente Of
fensive this spring.
Il firmly believe this is going to
be a long, long war. There is no
chance of peace at present. We can
make peace next week if we want
to, but the allies do not desire
peace. They are not yet convinced
OF our superiority. The world is
becoming hysterical The neutral
powers are losing patience. 1t is a
shame on humanity that we cannot
make peace now
The count expressed admiration
at the manner in which King Con-
stantine of Greece had dealt with
the diplomats of both sides. He be-
lieves that Greece win continue to
remain neutral The count spoke of
a possible invasion of Egypt
Il admire the way King Con-
stantine has handled the situation.
He is playing clever politics. He is
not either for us or the allies, but
is for Greece Greece will increase
her territory without sacrificing
men or money and risking her fu-
.ure. No one can say the king is
traitorous; he is thoroughly hon
est.
Il see from press dispatches that
the Teutons are to strengthen their
lines about Bagdad. They will
probably remain where they are un-
til Turkish reinforcements arrive,
then the line will be tanen. we
cannot lose as we now hold Mesop-
etamia and the Suez Casal is in
danger"

LONDON, Jan. 5.-When months
ago | had the honor of communi-
eating with at least fifty million
people through your association
expressed the belief then in a long
war, and events have followed
along the lines | indicated. do
not pose as a prophet but | do know
something of the toughness of the
Anglo-Saxon fibre as compared to
that of the Prussians. And do
know that each day brings access
of strength to us and weakening
to them. The German war point OF
view is frankly money making and
territory aggrandizement. DR..
Helfferich, the German minister OF
finance, constantly dilates on the in
IDENTITIES Germany is going to get,
and Germany hopes to obtain Bel
gian Congo Germany understood
that the wealth of France would
pour into her lap in few weeks
after the war began. England was
not expected to enter the war. Our
pacifists, like yours. again and again
informed the world that we did not
raise our boys to be soldiers. Eng
lands coming into the war was as
great a surprise to our government
as it was to Germany.
We had with one or two excep-
tions pacifist administration, but
as soon as Germany entered Belgium
we rose as one man to insist upon
the defense of that little nation and
her heroic king. Just rage follow
lowed this outrage by Germany.
The German tiger consoled itself
with the thought that John Bull was
an old plutocrat whose sons ana
daughters were given up to sports
and amusement. Our army was lit
tie larger than your. The kaiser
famous order issued at Aix-la-Cha-
pelle referred to Sir John French
as the commander of a little army.
Since then by voluntary enlistment
of free men we have already one oil
tn worlds largest armed forces.
Your position today is not at all un-
like ours before the war. Your
country is eaten up with commercial
ism and pacifism just like we wero
and YOU are not in such a good po-
sition for fighting as we were by
reason of lack of unity of the dif'
ferent races that now compose the
United States. On the other nano
YOU offer the same advantage fol
any foreign nations aggressiveness
as we did. You have lots OF money
but few soldiers and comparative
ly few sailors. Troops can be NOV
ed to your shores from hostile
country in little more time than II
took to move bodies OF troops from
New York to Boston two hundred
years ago.

Root utterances have been understood
everywhere among republicans of all

in almost exact harmony with the posi-

Mr.. Root phrases the same thought with
