sudden stiffening to the SO called war

many being willing to end the war on
basis of the antebellum status quo
has ended.
II is being given out now in neutral
Europe that Germany will require "a
slight rectiflcation Of her frontier at
the expense OF Belgium"

necessary for the central powers to

that her colonies should be returned
to her. II is now added that there
must be compensation for German

Belgium from being the vassal state

General Carranza, however, refused
to discuss the situation as 1t related

who are disturbers stay where they are
