LONDON. Dec. 2o.--The al
lies have not slammed the door
on peace; they have simply
said 70 Germany: "Here are
our terms; take them or leave
them. II is your nove-but
don't come again in the role OF
victor"
This was the universal view to-
day. when the public had an oppor-
tunity to digest the full meaning OF
Lloyd-George's speech. The public
Interpretation was that Lloyd George
had furnished Won Bethmann-Holl-
veg an opportunity to demonstrate
sincerity.
n Germany really desires peace,
they argued, she now knows how to
go about It,
Incidentally II was remarked
here today how adroitly and strik-
ingly Lloyd-George had destroyed
Germany's Illusion that England
is dominating the policies of the
entente nations. The premier, II was
recalled, had stated at the outset
that Russia and France, acting in
dependently and separately. had
reached the conclusion to which
England was now accedlng.
Lloyd-George's plan for universal
national service and civilian mObll-
izatlon. moulding the nation into an
army behind the army. was popular
~ accepted today as tho It were the
simplest routine Of peace times.

dissension has been heard
